All but forgotten punk / new wave nuggets

Vanilla’s career as a singer began shortly after leaving her job as Bowie’s publicist in 1974 and returning to the New York club scene. Her first band featured a young Kasim Sulton, later of Utopia, but her first success came fronting the Staten Island Band, whose “Shake Your Ashes” appeared on the legendary Max’s Kansas City’s New York, New Wave compilation album in 1976. The Staten Island Band (minus Vanilla) went on to support David Johansen in his solo career while Vanilla departed for London to take part in the exploding UK punk scene. She began playing regular gigs at the Roxy with a pre-Andy Summers line-up of the Police as her backing band. She was promptly signed by RCA and ushered into the studio to record her debut album. Perhaps unimpressed by the career arc and reputation of the Police (they had yet to establish themselves, even as a live act), RCA assembled a different group of musicians for the sessions, mostly Americans: Zecca Esquibel on keyboards, boyfriend Louie Lepore on guitar, Howie Finkel on bass and Manny Mancuso on drums.

CHERRY VANILLA - Bad girl.zip 320
http://www69.zippyshare.com/v/jAimhOoU/file.html

Cherry Vanilla (born Kathleen Dorritie) is probably best known as one of the stars of Andy Warhol’s anti-play Pork and as David Bowie’s publicist in the early ’70s. But by the middle of that decade, she was fronting her own band and bringing her own mix of rock ’n’ roll and camp to the London punk scene. Her debut LP, Bad Girl, is generally regarded as her best.


-CHERRY VANILLA - Venus d' vinyl.zip 320
http://www52.zippyshare.com/v/hdiISSn6/file.html


After her first hard rock/punk album, this romantic/fun follow-up was totatlly unexpected on the punk scene, making Cherry Vanilla a punk rebel. Going against the grain is a tough stand to take, even when that stand is not tough at all, but a softer one

Enjoy

My folks loved Rusty Warren albums and used to play them for parties after they thought I’d gone to bed. Unfortunately, they overheard me telling some of the jokes to my friends. Racy for the Sixties, it all seems rather tame now – but still fun (bitrates range from 128kpb to 192kpb):

If you were under 21 in the United States in the 1970s, After School Special from Teen Machine, recorded in 2000, will put you right back there. If you can dig some seriously rocken power pop with a smart and slightly twisted sense of humor, it's for you regardless. #161 of 200 on Discogs' Ultimate Power Pop list, After School Special would rank way higher if more people had heard it.

Recorded in Los Angeles, released by a German label and effectively impopssible to find on vinyl or CD (them what has a copy ain't given it up), here's it thanks to the miracle of the Internet.

re. Penitentiary Chances VOL1

I'm afraid I don't have any others in this series as far as I know. This looks like a privately produced item - I don't remember where I got it from. I'll have a better look, but don't hold out much hope.

There may well not have been a volume 2 anyway. There is mention of "O.G. SOUL" under genre which was probably put in by the compiler.

Other albums with similar titles seem to be "gangsta rap", whereas ours is conventional soul.

Believe the song come from the same session of Tobacco Road album but has been included only in the 2006 joint release of Black and Blue and Tobacco Road the album shared by Johnny Diego. (https://www.amazon.com/Black-Blue-tobacco-Road-Rawls/dp/B000FA57NU)
Now is avaliable in other Lou Rawls collection as 2016 Burn Bright
ps in the tracklist there is another track Gloomy sunday not included in the original version of both album

I keep finding odd bits on the auxiliary drive...

Here's one that might get a chuckle out of some of TZ's humorists:

Firesign Theater
"The Firesign Theater (also known as The Firesigns) was an American surreal comedy group. [...] They acquired an enthusiastic following in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

"The Firesign Theater employed a stream-of-consciousness style that included direct references to movies, radio, TV, political figures, and other cultural sources, intermingled with sound effects and bits of music. The resulting stories -- including the theft of a high school, a fair of clowns and holograms, and aliens who use hemp-smoking to turn people into crows -- border on psychedelia, an effect intensified by the frequent appearance of mock 'advertisements' satirizing real products." [Wikipedia]

1968 - Waiting for the Electrician
1970 - Don't Crush That Dwarf - Hand Me the Pliers
1971 - I Think We're All Bozos on This Bus
1975 - In the Next World, You're on Your Own

The Zipped file contains just ten tracks at 128 and 320 KBpS (except one at 96)... but half of them are over twenty minutes in length, and none of the others are shorter than seven minutes.

They're an acquired taste, perhaps -- and you can take that to the Chemical Corn Exchange Bank.

@montysmusic - MANY THANKS for the Belgian Beat!

Eagerly anticipating any holiday music. There's so much - and I can't help feeling there has to be a garage holiday comp somewhere in here. I don't have enough, myself, for that. Because as much as I love Dean and Frank and Gene and Bing, the desire for new music is never ending.

To that end, here's a link to two groovy, seasonal brass albums: The Border Brass (Tijuana Christmas) and The Toreador Brass (Tijuana Christmas):

Thanks for everything RYP & Gyro, and you all.

I'm looking for a slice of yuletide cheese called "Sock it to Me Santa" by Bud Logan. It was included on Rhino's vinyl Cool Yule but was left off the CD release. Kudos to the hosts and all contributors to this great blog.

@Anaheimers: I saw the show with Belushi and Chase when they brought it to Northwestern University. It was before SNL and at the time nobody knew who the hell they were.
@Aging Child: You beat me to Firesign. I downloaded the same recordings last night. Hold off on the Marx Bros. I have tons of stuff I'll get to later this week. Ditto Alan & Rossi. Goodbye dere.
@JWDen: Sorry to be a pest, but it's your fault. I wouldn't be bothering you if you didn't post such great stuff! ;) Thanks!

I thoroughly enjoyed The Three Stooges - The Nonsense Songbook, 1959.

Thank you.

@Wayne: thank you for the next load of your Big Thousand!

@ScottM: Go right ahead with the Marx Brothers (PS: check out their radio material at http://otrperk.com/marx.shtml)... I've exhausted most of the humor on my poor wheezing aux drive, and only had that one Groucho-on-radio disk. (Still, odd stuff might show up.) Now, please pardon me while I go shoot an elephant in my pajamas.

@nonymous (December 12, 2017 at 4:57 PM): I'm glad you liked those guys. I had some misgivings; 1959 saw them certainly in their twilight, and the Curly there is Curly Joe DeRita... but they still had their mojo. PS: thank you for the videos! Having grown up with two brothers... well, of course our parents renamed us each after one of the classic trio...

Cheers!

From its inception the "indie" genre it has been applied to hack work produced to exact Corporate specifications, crudely simulating and intended to displace actually independent music production by low budget operations promoting and selling their works via the Internet.

Because ignorant reviewers and record label marketing departments do apply it to high quality music from time to time, I just ignore the "indie" genre tag. Sadly, once one has been so branded it's a hard pit to climb out of.

Here's one of my favorite independently produced albums, a (mostly) one man power pop show by Rick Corcoran of Orange, called The Orgone Box:

On a related note, here's The Lightning Seeds debut album, Cloudcuckooland. The Lightning Seeds, at the time this album was released, was Ian Broudie: A music producer with some ideas (not to mention chops) of his own. "Pure" puts me in a time tunnel to the 1980s, more so than nearly any other trigger. It's just one of those things...

@Anonymous: Colorization has been proven to cause sterilization in lab rats. Be careful!
@Aging Child: I'm on it! Thanks for helping to stoke the Laff Train.

Aging Child said...

Th@ Diana: thank you for the Lightning Seeds' first -- "Pure" was my introduction to them years back, courtesy of my dear and lovely indie-lovin' friend... who sneers just as decisively as you at indie-fakers. And PS: you're helping make it fun here, too!

@ScottM: I wish I had more to offer; now -- heh -- thanks to you, I've got more indeed.

Cheers!

Re: Firesign Theater = "acquired taste": I'd change that to "required taste", but of course I may be prejudiced...

"So you see, Mudhead, with countersubversive educational priorities out there, it really helps our side to re-enlist!"

"Is that what you're going to do when you graduate, Porgie?"

"Heck, no! I'm going to climb up a tree, cut the soles off my shoes, and learn to play the flute!"

Aging Child said...

@TireBiter: Quate rate, as the Irish say -- but notice how few students take even the required courses. To modern "tastes", the Firesigners seem to come across as dry and highbrow... in a world of cheap shock-laughs and sleeveless rednecks; sigh. I wonder where Ruth is.
