...The record (also available on CD sans fold-out bowling pins) includes three songs from 1994's Sin & Tonic, as well as Billy Childish's "Lie Detector," and some of The Mono Men's best material from previous albums, like "Testify" and "Phantom on Lane 12." Though the sound quality of a bowling alley is not inherently conducive to a live recording, the liquored-up ambience is all Mono Men. - by Matt Carlson

NATALIE COLE - Unforgettable... with Love
Elektra Records (1991)
http://www8.zippyshare.com/v/Du8YIyP0/file.html
Unforgettable... with Love, also known as simply Unforgettable, is a 1991 album by American singer Natalie Cole. Released on June 11, 1991, the album focuses on covers of standards previously performed by her father, Nat King Cole. It was also her debut for Elektra Records, after being given her release from Capitol Records.
The record was very successful in the Pop, Jazz, and R&B markets and was considered the major comeback recording that had been brewing since Cole's late 1980s releases. The album was certified 7x platinum as of 2009 by the RIAA. The album won the 1992 Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and Best Engineered – Non-Classical, while the track "Unforgettable" (duet with her father Nat King Cole) won four additional Grammys: Record of the Year, Traditional Pop Vocal Performance, Song of the Year and Arrangement Accompanying Vocals. The album also won Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Album, Female the same year. -- Wikipedia
A major change of direction for Natalie Cole, Unforgettable found the singer abandoning the type of R&B/pop she'd been recording since 1975 in favor of jazz-influenced pre-rock pop along the lines of Nat King Cole's music. It was a surprising risk that paid off handsomely -- both commercially and artistically. Naysayers who thought that so radical a change would be commercial suicide were proven wrong when the outstanding Unforgettable sold a shocking five million units. Quite clearly, this was an album Cole was dying to make. Paying tribute to her late father on "Mona Lisa," "Nature Boy," "Route 66," and other gems that had been major hits for him in the 1940s and early '50s, the 41-year-old Cole sounds more inspired than she had in well over a decade. On the title song, overdubbing was used to make it sound as though she were singing a duet with her father -- dishonest perhaps, but certainly enjoyable. Thankfully, standards and pre-rock pop turned out to be a primary direction for Cole, who was a baby when the title song became a hit for her father in 1951. -- Alex Henderson (Allmusic)

http://www8.zippyshare.com/v/Du8YIyP0/file.html
To me this is not Sunday morning music. Sunday morning music is music that one listens to with a bear-claw or danish in hand while sipping coffee and reading the Sunday papers. This record is Sunday evening music when one is on the couch propped up by soft pillows, high-ball in hand, with one's dearest one snuggled close beside.
Natalie Cole does herself a good service by deciding to sing standards with a full orchestra or a smaller combo. Too often pop singers make the songs they sing all about themselves, worrying each note in an effort to prove just how soulful they happen to be or to show an incredible vocal range forgetting what the song is really all about. On this record Natalie plays it straight and sings the standards pretty much as they were intended without extraneous notes or vocal acrobatics. And her little stunt with her deceased father lessens the record not one little bit. I like this very much. Sunday evening music.
Sadly Natalie Cole died in 2015 of CHF, kidney disease, and liver failure due to Hepatitis C contracted in her youth when she injected drugs into her veins. She was 65 years old. -- JohnnyDiego

NEVER ON SUNDAY SONG SWARM
http://www31.zippyshare.com/v/R2ITXwDp/file.html
"Never on Sunday" was written by Manos Hadjidakis originally in Greek with the title "Ta Pedia tou Pirea" (The Children of Piraeus). The original Greek version featured lyrics also written by Hadjidakis, and was performed in the film by Melina Mercouri. The original Greek lyrics (along with the foreign translations in German, French and Italian) do not mention "Never on Sunday" (as found in the English lyrics), but rather tell the story of the main female character of the film, Illya (Mercouri). Illya is a jolly woman who sings of her joyful life in her port town of Piraeus ("If I search the world over/I'll find no other port/Which has the magic/Of my Port Piraeus"). Although she earns her money as a prostitute, she longs to meet a man someday who is just as full of joie de vivre as she is herself.
In 1960, the song was nominated and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, a first for a foreign-language picture since the Academy began to recognize achievements in this category in 1934. -- (Wikipedia)
Announcing the Academy award, 1961:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrOvatn7xlA
A few days ago when I shared all the swarms that I have made the past couple of years I sort of beneath my breath swore that I would never make another one. I know that they are at times very difficult to listen to and not everyone enjoys listening to 20 or 25 versions of the same song, thus they are not too popular.
But I enjoy listening to them and for the past few days Never On Sunday has been running through my head. Maybe it was a defense against Rhinestone Cowboy, the only lyric of which I know is "Like a Rhinestone Cowboy..." that's it. You'd think I could be hearing Wichita Lineman or By The Time I Get To Phoenix. But no, the only Glenn Campbell song that ran through my head upon hearing of his death was...
Anyway that has nothing to do with this. I've always loved this song and I knew as a kid that the subject matter was taboo. It's hard to find any versions other than pop or lounge type music but it's Sunday and why not? I don't really know what to call instrumental music that isn't jazz or rock'n'roll so I call it lounge and I've labeled 4 or 5 of them as such. But lots of 60s pop vocals, some in Greek, some in English, and some in languages I'm not that familiar with.
In spite of the title, I give you permission to listen to this anytime you please. -- JohnnyDiego

Now, we've reached the Top 5 of our list of Psychedelic Music. And here we see "Jefferson Airplane" and their 'Surrealistic Pillow, 1967' The title of the album indicates that there must be psychedelic stuff inside and what else would you call "White Rabbit" than psychedelic. Otherwise these album is cited as often for a milestone of "West Coast Music" and that's allright too. I'm going to present you a 2003 Japan Remaster of the 'Pillow':
http://www49.zippyshare.com/v/hKOg0uAU/file.html
Place No. 4 goes to Scotland. "The Incredible String Band" sure is psychedelic. Wiki says: The Incredible String Band (sometimes abbreviated as ISB) were a psychedelic folk band formed by Clive Palmer, Robin Williamson and Mike Heron in Scotland in 1966. The band built a considerable following, especially within the British counterculture, notably with their albums 'The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion', 'The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter', and 'Wee Tam and the Big Huge'. They became pioneers in psychedelic folk and, through integrating a wide variety of traditional music forms and instruments, in the development of world music.
You won't see tracks titled as 'Koeeoaddi Song', 'The Minotaur' Song' or 'Three is a green Crown' on many albums. This album definitely went away from the usual 'boy meets girl' theme or the Blues Standards of that time. This is a 'Waltz on a new Moon':

The Top 3 will come later.
Thanks, luis. I'll add that to my swarm. And thanks for Smoking Time Jazz Club. I like to mix a little jazz into my shuffle play.

from yesterday..
I don`t think they issued Kent 465,but there was
Kent 135 The Hotlanta Soul Of Loleatta Holloway.
Here`s the album Loleatta Holloway Cry to Me,
which has some tracks duplicated with Kent 135.
Hope that`s a help!
Allthe best,
Bill
Sorry, I don't usually ask for requests but I haven't been able to find this album in mp3 format. I have reason to believe it was shared here recently, maybe by Stinky.
It's The Lucky Bishops - Grimstone from 2002. Thanks.

Top 3 of the best psychedelic albums of the 60's.
No. 3 are "The Doors" with their first album, 1967. Perhaps the greatest debut album of the 60's. Jim Morrison was one of the greatest frontmen that ever lived.
Key Tracks are
'The End'
'Light My Fire'
'Break On Through (to the other side)'
I think, everybody has this album. Watch it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3qDYRmfKZw
In need to d/l, you can do it here:
http://musicmp3spb.org/album/the_doors.html
"The Beatles" and 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, 1967' are on No. 2. It has been shared here just a few days ago. And I think, everybody has it too.
Probably the greatest album ever. It is only listed as No. 2 because although it is prominently Psychedelic, some songs stay far away from the genre.
Key Track(s)-
'A Day In The Life'
'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds'
'She's Leaving Home'
And No.1? Isn't any wonder, it's "Pink Floyd" and 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, 1967'. The album that was nearly completely written by Syd Barrett.
Watch it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOta1fulN1Y&list=PLpq1NWRnDW3uLzdllsSwn31tlnK3TK6io
There is no doubt that any list of Psychedelic Music should note this album as No.1. I#m offering a 40th anniversary Edition, CD 1 is Mono, CD 2 the Stereo Mix:
http://www47.zippyshare.com/v/JSGvNPx8/file.html
Conclusion: That is definitively not a list of the best psychedelic albums of ALL times as announced. It is a good list of the best albums of the 60's, worth to discuss. It brought up the musical material you could expect on a "Psychedelic Music List" together with some lesser known and some surprising groups. It makes you curious to listen to those albums you don't know.
In the 60's - without Internet - you had to follow the opinion of some people writing in magazines and you had to discover for your own, if this material was quite as good as they wrote. But all the albums that were not discovered by such opinion leaders failed to reach you attention. So about 30% of this list passed me by in the 60's and came to me later.
Have a nice rest of the weekend.

The Mono Men's "Beer, Bowlin', Booze, Broads" got me to thinking. When I was 17, 18, 19, years old I used to spend a lot of time at a bowling alley called Frontier Lanes, (bowled a 275 once.) And I spent a lot of time in the pool hall that was attached (the manager called me Skinny John.) But if the place had been called Frontier Strip-N-Bowl I probably would be there still.
Thanks for the share, RYP. You too, Billy K. I kind of live the ole' straight and narrow now but when I think of what might have been if the tassels had come off...
Thanks for your time Bill, have 135,Thankyou.

As always... thanks for the great post again this weekend. Please need some help: anybody has: Larry Weiss - Black and Blue Suit.
Cheers P.
Johnny, thank you for sharing this 91 classic...great.
I've been able to confirm that the audio discrepancies on "Cry to Me" (the song) by Loleatta Holloway, aren't present on the vinyl. I guess something happened to the tape that Ace and P-Vine had to work from. I've heard the Collectables release is from needledrops.

RIP, Nat and Natalie.
Gaius, thanks for your feature on psychedelic music. I'm not sure I agree with this list or the rankings but, as you say, it's only a starting point.

Does anyone have the soundtrack for "Coal Miner’s Daughter [1980]" in flac or 320kbps?

glad to have help you adding with a bit of italy to your swarm.
Cheers Aging Child. Very early Christmas indeed. Lots of presents! Tx.
Thank you for the Bishops I've been looking for, glad you're back. I was talking about you while you were away, tee-hee.
@LemonFlag: Thank you for the drool - I just now checked: you can order an 8TB external HD for that same price (199$) at... uh, I don't want TZ to become an advertising forum, so I won't name-drop. I'm betting even better options are to be found, too. Nice... and really tempting.
@Muddy: most welcome; it's never too early to spread a little more Blue for Christmas. Glad it's under your tree!
