01 David Bowie - iSelect [2008]
Link https://www106.zippyshare.com/v/h0NK6gqg/file.html

iSelect (or iSelectBowie)[3] is a David Bowie compilation CD first released 29 June 2008 in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The title was released in the United States by Astralwerks Records. This CD is a collection of personal favourites compiled by Bowie himself and was available exclusively as a free gift with the 29 June edition of British newspaper The Mail on Sunday.

Bowie avoided the usual greatest hits route and instead compiled a selection of favourite album tracks, including only three singles ("Life on Mars?", "Loving the Alien" and "Time Will Crawl"). In addition, the version of "Time Will Crawl" included on the album is a remix by engineer Mario J. McNulty, featuring several newly recorded parts in an effort to revisit some of the material Bowie had released as part of Never Let Me Down, an album which he was disappointed with.

It is the only release to contain the track "Some Are" which has been unavailable since the mid-1990s deletion of the 1991 edition of Bowie's 1977 album Low on which it was included as a bonus track. It also features the medley of "Sweet Thing" and "Candidate", and the reprise of "Sweet Thing" as a single track, rather than being split up by song as it has been released on previous CD versions of Diamond Dogs. It also includes a teaser track combining the "Intro" track and "Hang On to Yourself" from Live Santa Monica '72, an official rerelease of the bootleg album Santa Monica '72. (Wikipedia)

03 Wild Swans - Magnitude (The Sire Years) [2007] CD1+CD2
Link https://www106.zippyshare.com/v/GFB4BXgD/file.html

The Wild Swans are a post-punk band from Liverpool, England, which originally formed in 1980 shortly after Paul Simpson (ex-keyboards) left The Teardrop Explodes. The band's personnel has been subject to regular turnover, with vocalist Simpson being the only constant member. The original incarnation of The Wild Swans lasted until 1982, issuing one single. A reconstituted version of the band issued two albums from 1988 to 1990 before dissolving again. More recently, Simpson put a new lineup together and the group played numerous live dates from 2009–2011, and issued a new studio album in 2011.

The Wild Swans have not to date had any mainstream chart hits, but they have enjoyed a degree of success and/or cult status in Germany, Japan, the UK, the US, and especially the Philippines. The Wild Swans also spun off two charting splinter projects; Care and The Lotus Eaters. Members of The Wild Swans have also been members of Echo & The Bunnymen, The Icicle Works, The Woodentops and The Lightning Seeds. (Wikipedia)

Formed in 1969, Hawkwind are a prolific and pioneering space-rock group
from the UK. Within weeks of their formation, the band had made a name
for themselves on the free festival circuit and would perform live
without fee wherever they were able. By the time of their 1971 album
'X In Search Of Space', Hawkwind were infamous for their science fiction
themed music and theatrical concerts, the latter renowned as exhibitions
of pulsing electronics, dazzling light shows, LSD consumption and (from 1971-75)
a nude dancer in the form of Stacia Blake . Despite a near-constant revolving door
of members, Founder member Dave Brock has been the sole mainstay and the core of the band
since its inception and has steered the band from its psychedelic rock roots into
flirtations with heavy metal, new wave, ambient and techno. Notable contributors have
included "accidental" bassist Lemmy (who would go on to greater fame with Motörhead),
Cream's Ginger Baker and science fiction writer Michael Moorcock. [Discogs]

And speaking of folkies, I’ve always loved Arlo Guthrie and not just for “Alice’s Restaurant,” either (which I’ve grown a little tired of over the years). I did a phone interview with him around the time his album with the Dillards came out (I’ll post that one tomorrow), and I found him to be a charming, very gracious dude as humble as he is talented—although that interview was a little difficult to transcribe due to the dogs barking and children screaming in the background. He apologized for the chaos but also said since he was on the road so much, he hated to isolate himself from his family when he was home. So, I have a baker’s dozen of Arlo Guthrie albums, including two live sets at both ends of his career. All at 320 except where indicated.

The Kitsch Korner has an interview with David Lynch and Frank Herbert about their “Dune” movie (sorry, no Sting) courtesy of the Not Very Pretty Music blog, Chaquito (whoever he is) regurgitating some TV thriller themes, and Krzysztof Komeda with scores from “Rosemary’s Baby” and “The Fearless Vampire Killers.” Bitrates vary, but Roman Polanski’s extradition will still be on hold after the music stops.

NRBQ - RC Cola and a Moon Pie (1986)
NRBQ - The Scraps Companion (2000)
https://www5.zippyshare.com/v/n3KsaHOC/file.html

The above is NRBQ's output during the years the band was on Kama Sutra Records. All are in HQ with tags and art.

"RC Cola" is a reworked version of "Workshop" with some different tracks and different mixes. It's never been released on CD and is featured here in a clean rip. An explanation of what's what is included. "The Scraps Companion" is a release of a '72 radio broadcast featuring the group doing tunes from that album, plus some stuff that never made it to LP. It's now a rarity, going for hundreds on Amazon.

The next album NRBQ released was "Kick Me Hard" in '77. Anyone have that one in HQ?

@Bob and @Lil'Ol'Lady Thank you so much for all your gospel posts. And a big shout out to montysmusic for that treasure trove a couple of days ago.

Napoleon "Nappy" Brown was a singer who, in the '50s and '60s did quite a bit of r and b recording, including hits like "Don't Be Angry" and "Little By Little". He always kept one foot in gospel, recording with such groups as the Selah Singers, Heavenly Lights, and Bell Jubilee Singers. Here's an album he made with a female group, The Southern Sisters, in 1974. (My rip from vinyl @ 320, cover art included):

Download it, enjoy it, and pay special attention to track 11 - by the group the Comedian Harmonists. If it piques your interest, here's more from this historically important group.

The Comedian Harmonists were an internationally famous, all-male German close harmony ensemble that performed between 1928 and 1934 as one of the most successful musical groups in Europe before World War II. The hallmark of the Comedian Harmonists was its members' ability to blend their voices together so that the individual singers could appear and disappear back into the vocal texture. Its repertoire was wide, ranging from the folk and classical songs to witty popular songs of the day.

The group's success continued into the early 1930s, but eventually ran into trouble with the Nazi regime: three of the group members were either Jewish or of Jewish descent, and another had married a Jewish woman. The Nazis progressively made the group's professional life more difficult, initially banning pieces by Jewish composers, and finally prohibiting them from performing in public.

The group's last concert was in Hannover on March 25, 1934.

Here's a "best of" compilation:

1: Wochenend' und Sonnenschein
2: Wenn ich vergnügt bin, muss ich Singen
3: An der schönen blauen Donau
4: Das ist die Liebe der Matrosen
5: Tea for Two
6: Hallo, was machst du heut', Daisy?
7: Ich hab' für dich 'nen Blumentopf bestellt
8: Ah Maria Mari
9: Mein kleiner grüner Kaktus
10: Du bist nicht die Erste
11: Bin kein Hauptmann, bin kein grosses Tier
12: Ein kleine Frühlingsweise
13: Schöne Lisa, süße Lisa
14: Ein Freund, ein guter Freund
15: Eins, zwei, drei und vier, glücklich bin ich nur mit dir
16: Hein spielt abends so schön auf dem Schifferklavier
17: Ein bisschen Leichtsinn kann nicht schaden
18: In der Bar zum Krokodil
19: Jetzt trinken wir noch eins
20: Kannst Du pfeifen, Johanna
21: Liebling, mein Herz lässt dich grüssen
22: Mein lieber Schatz, bist du aus Spanien?
23: Perpetuum Mobile
24: So ein Kuss kommt von allein
25: Wir sind von Kopf bis Fuss auf Liebe eingestellt
26: Whispering

Back Into Yesterday's Music, #120:
1920s+ Blues and Jazz - L-Artists (part 6 of 8):

We now start two days of Louis Armstrong, direct from my bulging, groaning aux drive. His recordings are among the first 1920s-plus recordings I downloaded, many years back, 'way before online-accessible MP3s were encoded at 320 KBpS. And thus many of these recordings are at weaker bitrates, since I haven't circled back since, and replaced them with higher-bitrate MP3s.

At some point, some of his early recordings here also got a bit scrambled and mixed up among different early-year compilations. I tried, this past week, to straighten out some of those mixups, but I doubt I've fixed all of them.

So today and tomorrow, I'm posting all the Louis Armstrong I've got -- warts and knots and all -- in the hope that a) at least some of the recordings are new to some of our friends here; and b) kindhearted TZers with better-bitrate versions, and other pristine gap-fillers, might have and share some better upgrades for everybody here (not simply for me).

There's some great stuff include, in spite of the above. I'm embarrassed, though, and apologize still, that a chunk of what's here, today and tomorrow, is below the standard of what I prefer to own, let alone to share. And I'm looking forward to any better takes anybody's got. Thanks for your patience, everybody, and your assistance.

Louis Armstrong (1923-68) (part 1 of 2):
- Hot Fives and Sevens, 1925-30 [92@128-320, 2 missing tracks)].zip
- Great Original Performances, 1923-31 [3@224, 35@320].zip
- The Artist As a Young Man, 1923-34.zip
- Jazz in Paris (and Friends), 1933-39.zip
- Vocalist of Jazz, 1937-46.zip
- Plays W. C. Handy, 1954.zip
- Historic Barcelona Concerts, Windsor Palace, 1955 (vol. 2) [16@192].zip
- Satch Plays Fats, 1955 [16@192].zip

Seven-day link (expires May 7):
https://we.tl/ImuhG6Egb8

All tracks are 320 KBpS except where noted. Thanks as always go out to the artists themselves, and to all the generous folks who for so many years have shared these works all across the web... and to anybody able to upgrade these not-yet-ideal offerings, today and tomorrow.

Tomorrow: mo' Satchmo: later years, and compilations

Cheers!

I know people who've been re-posting the Warped Series here on TZ haven't done it with ill intent (just VERY thoughtlessly). The result of Harlan's work being sold on Amazon and posted all over the net (without credit or even a link to his blog) is that we appear to have lost "Visit Me In Music City" (vmimc.blogspot.com). This is his most recent post from January of this year:

"I just thought I would put up a post acknowledging that we would normally be in the middle of 12 Days of Bluegrass . . . I will admit, though, that the people who are selling my stuff on Amazon or just posting it in mass amounts do not really endear me to want to post much of anything.

"Lucifer's Friend" was a German HardRock band. Before they started they made a record using another name because they had signed to the well-known Phillips label. But there was the expanding 'Europe-label' who wanted to have a short shot with some cover versions and some session takes. Easy earned money. But these musicians were professionals. So you get standards like 'Whole lotta Love' or 'House of the rising Sun', but the rest don't need to hide.

Anonymous said...

I agree with "anonymous". He made a polite suggestion, and was not insulting to anyone.

I find that all the "non-anonymous" posters (as if their made-up usernames somehow makes them less anonymous) with all of their made-up rules about how and what and when visitors should post are significantly more offensive than the original posts they are complaining about. I, for one, appreciate good tags and named files at a decent bitrate. However, as much as I think it's ridiculous to complain about anything that is offered freely, I also think it's a little self-righteous to jump down someone's throat for politely making suggestions that may or may not improve the site and or quality of the music. Insisting that "anonymous" make up a username or that users say, "Thanks" is no more or no less offensive than someone insisting on better bitrate or tags or links.

In my opinion (and I've been coming here for many, many years), the "behavior police" on this site are much more rude than the anonymous posters, and usually much less polite.

Normally, I do use a regular username here. But since I regularly post here, and don't want to set myself up for attacks and scorn in the future without making up a new username, I will sign this "anonymous."

A hearty thank you to all who demonstrated enthusiasm for gospel music. Bob spearheaded the efforts with his ample gospel shares and many of you contributed to gospel libraries! Thank you for so eagerly accepting and sharing this music. Thanks go to Ryp and Gyro as well for allowing such a generous platform.

“Shades Of Gospel Soul” LP (1969)-This may also be an obscure Motown release.

Excerpt from blogger’s review @ghostcapital.org
....Shades of Gospel Soul is a relatively rare gospel LP released by Motown back in 1969. This set features strong vocal outings from The Gospel Stars, The Wright Specials & Columbus Mann of Detroit, Michigan. The first couple of tracks, in-particular, are big winners. Just check the audio... sample…Recommended!
I snagged this one after someone was kind enough to rip and post it. Many thanks to the original provider.

3 CD Gospel Collection From Malaco Records (2005)
There were no reviews at Allmusic. However, there is a noticeable trace of “soul” being injected into a number of traditional gospel songs. Lou Rawls’ arrangements sound more like the secular career he would go on to have….more elaborate arrangements with horns and venturing away from the usual delivery. While all gospel is “soul”, the genre called “soul” has made its mark. Not to worry. There is still lots of Golden Age Gospel to be shared!

Brown Eyed Handsome Man
Johnny B Goode

Memphis

New tracks are:
Ring Of Fire
Chantilly Lace
Breathless

I think that's a fair exchange. This was ripped at 320k.

After a bit of an absence here I am with some more British Isles folk music

Eric Bogle - Live In Person (1977, FLAC)
This is the first album by this outstanding Scots-Australian singer/ songwriter recorded live in Germany in 1977. It includes his first recordings of his songs "And The Band PLayed Waltzing Matilda" and "No Man's Land" - two great anti-war songs that have been covered by many artists. There are also other great songs like "Belle Of Broughton," "No Use For Him" and "Leaving Nancy."
https://www87.zippyshare.com/v/FKiwkSU4/file.html

Geordeanna McCulloch - Sheath and Knife (1978, FLAC)
Wonderful Scottish singer - former member of the excellent group The Clutha who are featured backing her on many tracks.
https://www87.zippyshare.com/v/owmiSSPp/file.html

Tony Capstick - Punch & Judy Man (1974, FLAC)
Excellent North of England singer with a selection of mostly traditional songs. The brilliant title song was written by John Conolly who is best known for having written the song "Fiddler's Green."
https://www87.zippyshare.com/v/oaqfDdhx/file.html

Dick Gaughan - No More Forever (1972, FLAC)
In my humble opinion, Dick Gaughan, was the finest performer of traditional songs in the British Isles in the 1970s and 80s. A gorgeous singer and an absolutely brilliant guiatrist. This first album was released on the Tariler label and like most items on that label is not available on CD though it was briefly available as a CD-R in the late 1990s.
https://www87.zippyshare.com/v/XB9ZLkWY/file.html

Na Fili -3 (1972, mp3 320Kbps)
Undeservedly obscure Irish trio who performed traditional tunes and the occasional vocal with uileann pipes, fiddle and tin whistle.

@Steve626: thanks for Lady Day; I don't know how I missed her, last time 'round.

@ButterBoy: I nominate you for this week's TZ Mr./Ms. Politeness award, re my shaky Satchmo offerings. (Fortunately, it was his more-recent, later-years stuff that made up the compilations I deleted.) And I agree -- with the super big-name artists/acts, the early stuff is the most interesting... e.g., Bing from the 1920s, and king Louis himself still getting his roots and embouchure in place, and so on. I have a feeling that for most artists who make it big, those earliest days were the most fun and rewarding, even with lousy pay and long hours.

@J.A.Moore: okay; you and ButterBoy might have to share that Politeness award! I was blessed to be turned on to the Blues first by a minister's daughter (girlfriend), and then leapt in neck-deep when a childhood friend -- back in touch after [mumbled number] decades -- threw gasoline on the smoldering fire. (Heh-heh; Howlin' Wolf: "I asked for water, she gave me gasoline"!) Then I dug into early Blues, and the purist in me was thrilled with what I found and discovered online... and had to share as soon as I found this fine community. It's too big and historic and awesome to keep to myself.

I happened to be in Chicago a few autumns ago, and took a college professor and a number of his students (and friends of mine) to Buddy Guy's for a very good, very solid late-night show. And yet -- with nothing negative on that fine club -- I was disappointed that all the clientele, and all the musicians (supremely talented as they were) were upscale caucasians. I'd wanted battered and wobbly chairs, mismatched glasses, crunchy grit on the floor, and lots of thick smoke, and mine the only white face in the house.

A year or two later, I was in Memphis, and there -- ah; an old African-American gent in a hat, seated (like B.B. King), with skilled and devoted younger bandsmen of rich color beside and behind him, was playing and singing/growling an impromptu Blues set that gave me goose bumps, right there on (or just off) Beale Street, when my delighted ears commanded my feet to halt right there. That's the Blues, baby, and that fellow (no offense, Gregg and Gary, et al.) was the heir and standard bearer of the real Blues, and why I like my Blues early.

Cheers!
