V.A. - The Fabulous Swing Collection (1933-1944)
"Foot Tappin' Favorites & Jumpin' Jitterbugs from the Fabulous Swing Era"
Jazz Heritage CD (1998)

http://www6.zippyshare.com/v/TSTmu79Y/file.html

The Fabulous Swing Collection offers 19 classic swing hits from the likes of
Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Fletcher Henderson, Charlie Barnet, Duke Ellington,
Cab Calloway, Benny Goodman, and Artie Shaw. There's nothing rare on the
compilation, so it's not necessary for collectors, but it's not a bad sampler for
casual listeners who want these hits on one disc. -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine
(Allmusic)

As said above there is nothing on this record that swing fans haven't heard
before, but it is nice to have these on one CD.
My love of swing music started as a kid with my father and his brother, my Uncle
Deane, who had a massive collection of 78s that he had been collecting since the
30s. I was familiar with most of these songs before I had even heard of the
Beatles. Sunday's around my house were always reserved for my dad's LP collection
so we heard Classical, Show Tunes, and Big Band Jazz. I always had some Big Band
LPs that traveled with me as I moved around the country while in my twenties.
After I got tired of AOR and rock and roll I tried to keep up with Big Bands and
scoured used record shops. My wife still hasn't forgiven me for trading a dozen
of her favorite LPs for Swing and Jazz.
Sundays around my house, just like at my dad's, are no rock and roll days. It's
always nice to take a respite from the music of my young adulthood, lay back,
relax, and swing a while. -- JohnnyDiego

"See Emily Play" is a song by English rock band Pink Floyd, released as their second single in June 1967.[3][4] Written by original frontman Syd Barrett and recorded on 23 May 1967, it featured "The Scarecrow" as its B-side. Though it was initially released as a non-album single, the song appeared on the American edition of their debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967).wiki

When I heard this track in '67 it blew my mind as it did with may other teens

Rudy played on some later Johnny Guitar Watson's LPs and was Solomon Burke's organist during his resurgence in the 2000s.

Hi RYP,
was für eine obergeile frische Brise von allerfeinstem PowerPopPunk. Wieso hat mir bisher noch nie jemand diese fantastische Band vorgestellt? Ich fasse es nicht. Meiner unmaßgeblich Meinung nach viel besser als die zum Vergleich genannten Bands (die sind natürlich auch große Klasse).
So verdammt, schon zu Ende das Album, ich brauch' noch 'ne zweite Runde.
Ganz ganz herzlichen Dank für diese große Freude. Wow Yeah Yippie.

DEPRAVOS DE LA MOUR said...

very curious.was it the then transgressive subject of the song that blew your mind at first? at that time words were half the song and often considered more important than the music.

DEPRAVOS DE LA MOUR said...

never mind. i was thinking of arnold.

montysmusic said...

@ Depravos I think it was the actual sound and vibe of the recordings then there seemed to be a explosion of sounds and colours plus the poetry in the music in the mid to late 60's

Thanks Gilligan and Gyro1966 for The Melody Goes On series.

Antipodean Atrocities

Another Glenn A. Baker compilation, issued [I think] late '90s and not reissued. Ripped by me from cassette to CD to mp3 around six years ago.
Side 1 of Cassette 1 not ripped (all songs from the 30s and 40s) as it wouldn't fit on one CD. I no longer have the cassette, so I can't fix this now.

01 I Can't Do The Stomp Daddy Longlegs And The Spiders
02 The Lawrence Rock-A-Cha-Cha Frankie Davidson
03 Shine On Harvest Moon Graham Kennedy & Smacka Fitzgibbon
04 Be Kind To Each Other John Laws
05 What Is A Square? Brian Henderson
06 The Teen Commandments Bob Rogers
07 Little Beat Bongos John Burls & Terry Bissaker
09 Ten Pin Bowling Bryan Davies
10 Raining In My Heart Jackie Weaver
11 Surfer Doll Sir Robert Helpman
12 Beach Ball Jimmy Hannan
13 Wear A Yellow Raincoat Mouse
14 The Decimal Point Ian Turpie
15 Beware Of Stones That You Throw Johnny O'Keefe
16 Girls Were Made To Love And Kiss Warren Williams
17 Lonely Weekends Ken Sparkes
18 Fairyland Donnie Sutherland
19 Emergency Ward Ward Austin
20 Rock & Roll DJ Ronnie Sparks
21 Shadow Valley And Iron Triangles The Young Australians
22 The Jungles Of Vietnam Reg Lindsay
23 The Ballad Of Lionel Rose Rim D. Paul
24 Down At The TAB Lucky Starr
25 Dame Zara Wheelbarrow
26 Love Itis Issy Dy
27 Little One Mike Walsh
28 Elvis Gone To Join His Mother Ralph
29 Travel Broadens The Mind Gerard Kennedy
30 The Fred Dagg Medley John Clarke

The collection comprises singles recorded by non-singers and embarrassing singles released by established singers.

From memory as I don't have the cover any more.
Daddy Longlegs was Barry Crocker singer/actor who starred in the Barry McKenzie movies.
Frankie Davidson was singer of humorous songs, the Lawrence in the title was a chain of dry cleaners.
Graham Kennedy was a long time tonight show host, of the famous "crow call" in 1973. F-a-a-a-a-rk.
Brian Henderson was a television newsreader and host of the Australian version of Bandstand.
John Laws, Bob Rogers, John Burls, Ken Sparkes, Donnie Sutherland, Ward Austin and Ronnie Sparks were radio DJs.
Bryan Davies was a singer, Jackie Weaver was an actress. Sir Robert Helpman was a ballet dancer.
Jimmy Hannan had tonight shows an hosted TV quiz shows. Yellow Raincoats were promoted for the safety of children.
Ian Turpie was a singer, and later TV game show host. The decimal point song was for the introduction of decimal currency in 1966.
Johnny O'Keefe and Warren Williams were singers with really embarrassing songs.
'Shadow Valley' and 'The Jungles of Vietnam' are about the Vietnam War.
Lionel Rose was an aboriginal boxer. The TAB song was promoting the new government-run legal gambling establishments.
Dame Zara was the widow of Harold Holt, the Australian Prime Minister who drowned while in office.
Issy Dy was a Melbourne "media personality". When I visited Melbourne in 2000, it seemed he was in almost every ad on TV.
Mike Walsh was a radio DJ and later a lunch-time chat show host. Gerard Kennedy was an actor.
New Zealand born John Clarke is an icon. He came to Australia with his Fred Dagg character, and later became a fixture on our televisions with his "Clarke Dawe Report" with Brian Dawe, in which they lampooned politicians and anybody who deserved it with charm and wit. R.I.P. John.

RYP...Ripchord is fabulous!!!...perhaps the best album I've encountered all year. It checks all my boxes...exemplary singing and playing, great melodies, and perfectly set lyrics. I see that they're being called punk/pop, but to me, they slip in too much instrumental detail for that musical label. I can't believe that - since the band has broken up - that we haven't heard anything else from Phil Wallbank. So thank you for brightening up my day, week, month and year!

Hello, Would anyone have 'Donna The Buffalo' albums to share?

Add my name to the list of Ripchord fans. Thanks, RYP.

Rob Kopp said...

Hey Monty. Thanks for the See Emily play covers. I have another one in iTunes. It's an instrumental by David West on his 2001 LP Pickin' on Pink Floyd - A bluegrass tribute. Not psychedelic and completely different, but I love it. Lucifer Sam is also excellent.

The Hard-Drive Drain Continues...

Here's the next bucket of good-music overflow. Again, since it accumulated over fifteen-some years, there's a real range of bit rates, though plenty of 320 (with a sincere apology for any weak tracks, and any duplication). Likewise, most most of the rips aren't mine, but the link is.

I'm clearing out the Jazz first, 1920s-1980s or so - over 270 artists (some heavy, some scanty), more than 10,700 tracks... whew! And dovetailing, maybe, with JohnnyDiego's Fabulous Swing...

Anyway, Load Two:

- Abe Lyman, 1923-32, VBR
- Abrew's Portuguese Instrumental Trio, 1931, @128
- Adrian Rollini, 1933-34, VBR
- Adrian Schubert - Dime-Store Hot-Dance, 1928-30, VBR
- Al Siegel - Complete Recorded Works, 1923-24, @128
- Albert Short's Tivoli Syncopaters, 1923, @192
- Alex Hill, 1929-30, VBR
- Alex Jackson - Complete Recorded Works, 1927, @128+
- All-Star Orchestra, 1928, @64+
- Alphonso Trent - Complete Recorded Works, 1928-33, @128+
- Anderson 'Husk' O'Hare, 1922-29, VBR
- Andre Kostelanetz (1934-46), @192
- Andrews Sisters - Great Vocalists of Jazz, 1938-49, @320
- Andy Kirk (1929-41), @128, 156 +
- Annette Hanshaw - The Twenties' Sweetheart, 1926-31, mostly @256
- Art Kahn, 1923-33, @192+
- Art Landry, 1924-26, @192
- Art Tatum (1934-52), mostly @320
- Artie Shaw, 1934-41, VBR
- Bailey's Lucky Seven, 1922-25, mostly @320
- Bebe Daniels, 1929-42, @192
- Ben Bernie, 1923-33, VBR, mostly low

Montymusic - thanks for the I Smell A Rat and the psychedelic posters last Thursday. I just got them.

rockindoc said...

The Antipodean Atrocities set includes "Beach Ball" which has two interesting connections ... firstly it was co-written by Roger McGuinn (for The City Surfers)later to join The Byrds. Secondly the backing vocalists are The Bee Gees - not acknowleged, round 63-64 they earned some pennies(Australia didn't change to decimal - dollars and cents - till 1966)as intermittent Festival Records' backing vocalists.

Gaius asks:

Aging Child, I'm wondering while you're cleaning your hard drive after collecting such a mass of music in more than 15 years. I hope you've heard of something like this to solve your PC-problems:
https://www.amazon.de/Seagate-Expansion-Portable-Festplatte-STEA2000400/dp/B00TKFEE5S/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1498518249&sr=1-3&keywords=externe+festplatte

Me, I don't have any music on the hard drive (which is a small 512 SSD), all is extern and portable (Bands/Artists with A to E, F to L and so on and on and on)

Aging Child said...

@Monty & Clarence: thank you for the kind words - all kudos goes to the artists, though... and to whoever initially put their work out there, over the years. I apologize that not everything's @320... and I do hope some ears find plenty to smile about. Cheers!
