______________________________________________________

01 Gomez - Bring It On [1998]

Gomez are an English indie rock band from Southport, comprising Ian Ball (vocals, guitar), Paul "Blackie" Blackburn (bass), Tom Gray (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Ben Ottewell (vocals, guitars) and Olly Peacock (drums, synths, computers). The band has three singers and four songwriters, employing traditional and electronic instruments. Their music covers the genres blues, indie, alternative, rock, folk, psychedelic and experimental.

Bring It On is the debut album by English band Gomez. Gomez entered the recording studios in late 1997 to turn their demos into an album. During this time they also toured the UK with Embrace. The first single, "78 Stone Wobble" was released in March 1998 with the album following a month later. Bring It On was well received on both sides of the Atlantic with Spin calling it a "damn beautiful album" (Wikipedia)

02 Joan Armatrading - Love & Affection [1996]

Joan Anita Barbara Armatrading, MBE (born 9 December 1950) is a British singer-songwriter and guitarist. A three-time Grammy Award-nominee, Armatrading has also been nominated twice for BRIT Awards as Best Female Artist. She also received an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contemporary Song Collection in 1996. In a recording career spanning 40 years, Armatrading has released 18 studio albums, as well as several live albums and compilations. (Wikipedia)

Love and Affection is a 38-track, double-disc retrospective of Joan Armatrading's entire 20-year history with A&M, containing nearly all of her best material, from hit singles like "Show Some Emotion" and the title track to important album tracks. For casual fans wanting a more detailed and comprehensive compilation than a single-disc greatest hits collection, Love and Affection is an excellent summation of Armatrading's many strengths. (AllMusic by Stephen Thomas Erlewine)

03 Patti Smith - Twelve [2007]

Patricia Lee Smith (born December 30, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, poet, and visual artist who became an influential component of the New York City punk rock movement with her 1975 debut album Horses. Called the "punk poet laureate", Smith fused rock and poetry in her work. Her most widely known song is "Because the Night", which was co-written with Bruce Springsteen. It reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1978. In 2005, Smith was named a Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture. In 2007, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Twelve is the tenth studio album by Patti Smith, released April 17, 2007 on Columbia Records. The album contains twelve tracks, all of which are cover versions. It debuted on Billboard 200 at number 60, with 11,000 copies sold in its first week.

Bonus Gomez - Out West [2005] 2 x CD

Out West (Live at the Fillmore) is a live double album released by Gomez in June 2005 and the first album the band released for ATO Records. It features material mostly from their first two albums, Bring It On and Liquid Skin, with a few tracks each from In Our Gun and Split the Difference, and one from the Machismo E.P.. There are also a few cover songs, such as "Going Out West" by Tom Waits and "Black Eyed Dog" by Nick Drake (which is combined with "Free to Run" in an extended song). The front album cover is a psychedelic manipulation of a photograph of a traditional Mexican band, probably[citation needed] inspired by the Fillmore's tradition of using psychedelic posters to promote events. The back album cover shows the actual band Gomez in similar outfits.

Does Anyone have Robert Finley Age Don't Mean a Thing?

SoulTime59 said...

Link for this comp is fading, so here's a repost to explain...

The Mystery of Robert Dobyne

Performer and writer Robert Dobyne was briefly lead singer with The Artistics, recording one single for Okeh, before linking up with Robert Staunton and Robert Walker in the Hit Pack, and finding his way to Motown. There he and the boys recorded a number of songs, but only one 45 was released at the time. And Robert himself recorded one solo track, ironically entitled, All I Need Is A Chance. IMHO it’s a piece of sublime Motown that would surely have been a monster hit if it hadn’t been left on the shelf for more than 40 years!

But somewhere along the line, things appear to have gone very badly wrong for Robert. Years later a most peculiar YouTube post surfaced from SirDobyne (doo-be-nay), as he likes to call himself now. He claimed he was the “slave” of a whole host of famous names, including Berry Gordy, who he said had accused him of trying to take over Motown back in the sixties, and threatened to kill him! SirDobyne suggested he would tell more of his story, but never has to my knowledge. However three videos, one from a gig, and two recorded at home, demonstrate that he is still out there and can still sing. Judge for yourself - the fragments are included in this set.

So what else do you get?

The Artistics single, an early Hit Pack track + their tracks from Motown that have surfaced more recently, as has Robert’s wonderful solo effort, All I Need Is A Chance. To complete the set, most of Robert’s remaining solo sides cut for Kama Sutra and other smaller labels, and then a great set of songs he co-wrote. They include ex-Searcher Tony Jackson’s admirable take of Martha & the Vandella’s powerhouse Motown track, Never Leave Your Baby’s Side. To complete the picture you get both takes of Martha’s version, along with tracks from The Monitors, The Temptations, Maxine Brown, Bobby Freeman, The Players, The Spindles, and Mill Evans, who went on to be lead singer with The Esquires.

Enjoy!

Jorge Ben - Força Bruta (1970)
http://www14.zippyshare.com/v/FGu6a4q1/file.html
enjoy that vinyl rip !!!

The combination of Jorge Ben and Trio Mocotó had already produced great things when Força Bruta first appeared in 1970. Ben's self-titled album of the year before had reeled off a succession of Brazilian hits, including "País Tropical" and "Cadê Teresa," and made the four musicians very busy as a result. Força Bruta was a slightly different album, a slice of mellow samba soul that may perhaps have been the result of such a hectic schedule during 1969. One of the hidden gems in Jorge Ben's discography, it's a wonderful album because it kept everyone's plentiful musical skills intact while simply sailing along on a wonderful acoustic groove that may have varied little but was all the better for its agreeable evenness. The songs may have been more difficult to distinguish -- virtually every one began with acoustic guitar, similar instrumentation, and Ben's caressing vocals over the top -- but it made the record one of the best in Ben's hearty career.(allmusic)

Chris Spedding - I'm Not Like Everybody Else - 1980
Reissue: Fan Club FC 055 France 1989
Vinyl LP
My Rip: Flac or mp3@320
I bought this from a used record shop, but it plays very well.
Includes images of cover f/b and labels 1/2

When one thinks of session musicians, guitarists in particular, Chris Spedding is one of the first to come to mind, and for very good reason.

n the early 1970s Spedding was in demand on major pop and rock sessions with artists such as Elton John, Harry Nilsson, Gilbert O’Sullivan and Shirley Bassey. In late 1972 he teamed up with ex-Free bassist Andy Fraser to form The Sharks, with drummer Marty Simon and vocalist Steve “Snips” Parsons. The Sharks toured extensively and recorded two LPs, but Spedding still managed to contribute guitar work on hit records by David Essex and The Wombles during this period. Later, Spedding produced the early demos for The Sex Pistols, which helped the band obtain a record deal and introduced them to his friend, producer Chris Thomas, who helped The Pistols define their sound. He also did session work with Frankie Miller on the 1976 “Full House” LP and took time to tour with John Cale, Roy Harper and Bryan Ferry.

Despite his success as a guitar for hire, Spedding wanted a solo career to show the music world and record buyers what he had to offer and to be known as more than the guy in italics on the back of everyone else’s records. While he had dabbled in solo work along the way,

Spedding made no bones about his dislike for lengthy, indulgent guitar solos and his dislike for the usage of effects, preferring to shape his work using only the volume and tone controls of his guitar and amplifier. He wanted to cut the kind of three-minute singles that he cherished as a youth and informed Melody Maker readers that “I want my records to be well made, very commercial and in lots of people’s front rooms.”

After a two year sabbatical, part of which was spent working with Joan Armatrading on her “Me, Myself, I” album, Spedding finally entered the studio to record for himself, this time accompanied by Dave Mattacks on drums, Paul Westwood on bass, Phil Lanzon on piano, Chris Mercer on sax, and cellists Chris Green and Pete Wilson. The title track, a Kinks cover, opens the album with chugging guitars and gorgeous vocals. It was also released as a single, with the mid-tempo “Contract” featuring incredible slide work by Spedding as the b-side. The album features an up tempo, Ziggyesque “Depravitie” with its roaring guitars and gorgeous vocal harmonies, “I Got A Feeling” a snappy rocker with its chugging, climbing guitars, and “Musical Press” with its upbeat guitar intro, pleasant Bryan Ferry feel and exquisite tempo changes. The album closes with “Mama Coca” a tribute to the drug of the day, with its heavy guitar riff, pounding drums, a gorgeous solo by Spedding and some incredible slide work as well.

At 6:45 there is an interview with Spedding and Steve "Snips" Parsons who played together in The Sharks. At 9:32 the interview goes to a video. In this video it appears to be Snips doing the vocals with Spedding on guitar.

Is this the Sharks? Does anyone know the name of this song and if it is on any of their albums?

I've noticed some zippy strangeness: The share I uploaded a week ago had a modest 119 views and 62 downloads on the first day and the numbers trailed off over the week. Now yesterday the file had a whopping 276 views with only 3 downloads.

Do you think this is the result of someones snooping around?

My Fair Lady by Alan Jay Lerner/Frederick Loewe
Original London Cast Production Recorded February 1, 1959
Sony Classical/Columbia/Legacy (1998)

https://www.discogs.com/Rex-Harrison-And-Julie-Andrews-With-Stanley-Holloway-Robert-Coote-Betty-Woolfe-Leonard-Weir-My-Fair-/master/383555

Link - http://www102.zippyshare.com/v/2jTycQ8L/file.html

This mega-hit moved into the Drury Lane Theatre in London in April of 1958 with the British stars of the Broadway version intact; hence the original London cast recording is very similar to its more familiar American counterpart. At present this album in CD form is often rather less expensive than the original-Broadway-cast CD, and it is far better to have this My Fair Lady than none at all. Columbia/Legacy's 1998 CD reissue of the Original London Cast Recording of My Fair Lady contains "The Embassy Waltz" as a bonus track, plus extensive liner notes featuring memorabilia and previously unpublished photos. -- Marjorie Ellen Ruhlmann (Allmusic)

The movie starring Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle was shown on TCM the other day. I telephoned my sister, said I was crying with every song, and she said she was recording it right then.
She and I grew up listening to the original Broadway production starring Julie Andrews as Eliza but the movie version was true to the play using both Rex Harrison and Stanley Holloway in their original roles. In the movie version Marni Nixon sings Audrey Hepburn's part (uncredited. I would have put up some kind of stink, I tell you.)
The original Broadway cast recording was from 1956, this from 1959 and I can't really tell too much difference.
The highlights for me at least are Rex Harrison's soliloquys. Proclamations, discussions, thoughts spoken aloud, all in a, by now, classic Harrison timbre.
In case you haven't yet guessed it, today is Sunday. No rock and roll. I'll just go back to my youth and dance all night. -- JohnnyDiego

Henry Higgins ----- Rex Harrison
Eliza Doolittle ----- Julie Andrews
Alfred P. Doolittle ----- Stanley Holloway

Edward : I think the clip you are asking about is from Snips' 1981 Music Breakout Tour, they are playing his 1979 single "9 O'clock"
If you're interested you can find many Sharks clips (old and new) on my YouTube channel.

Christmas on TV: (aka "Yule See Them This Year")
- A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)
- How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)

Anyone with her/his face glued to the television screen every Western-World December since the mid-1960s will remember these two animated specials, never out of seasonal rotation in over half a century.

I don't know which sentimental websites posted the recordings a few years ago -- maybe even here?? -- but I have to dust them off every Nov/December, untie the bows, and pop the home-burnt (MP3) CD into my car's player, and smile goofily as I go skidding through the snow. I hope a few of you still don't have these for yourselves and (grand)children...

A Charlie Brown Christmas [18@127-219]
info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Charlie_Brown_Christmas_(soundtrack)
The original score was a landmark in popularizing more-modern Jazz, thanks to whichever ABC or Coca-Cola executive was inspired to hire the Vince Guaraldi Trio to beautifully musicify the Dr. Seuss special. This Zipped file includes the CD bonus-tracks of alternate takes (but not the two Hallowe'en and Thanksgiving numbers)... and I've added a more-contemporary remix of "Linus and Lucy", a bizarrely masterful mad mashup of Vince Guaraldi and... John Bonham?? It works, too, except for the most inflexible of purists.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas [5@320; 1 @56... sorry!]
info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Seuss'_How_the_Grinch_Stole_Christmas!_(TV_special)#Soundtrack
This Zipped file includes Boris Karloff's full narration of the special, as well as various Whoville songs -- and the actual broadcast version (weak bitrate, though) of Thurl Ravenscroft's uvula-shredding ode to the Grinch, including merry background sound-effects from the special itself. (The other tracks are in-studio recordings.)

And, what the heck; I'm adding one more star to the tree:
2009 - Andrea Bocelli, My Christmas [16@320]
info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Christmas

Seven-day link (all three files; expires Dec. 3):
https://we.tl/gu4kIBrRhK
(not my rips, though my link... and a mug of eggnog to the original host sites and CD-rippers)

Adeste fideles!

Hi all

Can anyone help to find a track please?

" Israel Jones - Mummies Curse "

I reckon it would be late 60's/early 70's
Possibly Louisiana soul.

Hope someone can help. Thanks.

To Aging Child
I'll thank you now for agreeing to re-post all your prewar blues
and such, I wasn't really expecting that. I thought it was too
much to ask anyone really, the scope of it all.
I'm not connected to the web and only access it through the
library which is why I missed so many, don't get back to you
straight away.
Thanks Again.

Sometime between 1989 and 1992, my father gave me a wonderful cassette of Weihnachtszeitlieder / Christmas music sung by children's choirs from Bavaria, Hamburg, and Lower Saxony. Would any of our TZ team have it in DL-able format -- MP3, M4A, FLAC, etc.? Here are the details:

Süßer die Glocken Nie Klingen: Kinder Singen Weihnachtslieder"
1989, Miller International Schallplatten GMbH (Quickborn)

Peforming choirs:
* Die Kleinsten der Schaumburger Märchensänger
* Die Alsterspatzen
* Der Tölzer Knabenchor
* Der Ruhpoldinger Knabenchor

(It comes up in CD format on Amazon.de, and if no one's got one, I'll shell out the €39.50 + €15.50 shipping and handling... and get it in a week or two. But I'm impatient to have it sooner... and I'm a Knicker, or Knauser, as they say in German. Please don't buy it just to post it! I'd rather play the cassette... and order a USB-equipped cassette-ripper. And in that case, I'll post it here.)

Anyway, this is where I first heard the "Leise Rieselt der Schnee" that I mentioned a day or two ago. And all the music on the cassette is beautiful, Christmasy in a way that only the Germans (and Poles and Czechs) can pull off so wonderfully -- no Rudolph, no inflatable Santa; just lovely ancient churches, handmade wooden decorations, and the snow coming down ever so gently, while the children sing like little angels...

Cheers!

Firstly, ensure link is correct (has it got a http:// or https:// header?).
Secondly, ensure it is underlined and highlighted in blue (go to end of link and press enter)
Finally, on link, press CTRL (mouse cursor turns to a hand) and click left mouse button to open link.

If link then doesn’t open ….it’s dead.

@ Hank

Many thanks for the "Dolly Parton & Friends At Goldband" - much appreciated.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
I was looking at the tracklisting of an earlier version of this LP which has some different tracks (why do they do that?). Yours has some extra tracks to mine, but I'm after

"Eddie Shuler - Once Again" and
"Boppin Billies - I'll Try One More Time (instr.)"

to complete this version too.

Also, I've managed to knock together the Freddie Fender And Friends At Goldband, Bayou Rock, and Swampland Soul. I'll put them up in tomorrow's blog.

Aging Child said...

@J.A.Moore: Shucks; pre-WWII music's so good and pivotal that everybody deserves an opportunity to give it a listen, if they're even remotely interested. That's why I always repost an upload one of our friends here has missed.

Since several folks have asked for it, I'm planning -- with crossed fingers -- to bring back the full prewar run, 1930s-plus back to the 1880s, come January. And I'll be ready for RYP to pull the plug at any moment, if his read is that this is too soon for a revisit.

I may also lead off with what I still have of artists who started out after 1939 -- but only at 256-320 KBpS. In the meantime, I'll try to get some more robust replacements for weaker (or missing) tracks, and add more artwork into the various earlier files (AllMusic's often a great source; it may have been our friend MuddyW who directed me there).

You can't be the only audiophile who brings home the bakin' via the library, so you're in fine company. Once I get rolling -- and, again, with RYP's okay with the rerun -- let me know where you miss something of interest, and I'll swing back and reload it.

Cheers!
