…and now for something completely different! 2701 - 2025

Those damned religious zealots, politicians, warlords and... They all bring death and ruin and they don't know that they are as superfluous as telephone disinfectors and hairdressers! - RYP

We have a first entry each day that is a picture or a video, and only in that entry you can place your music links and requests (NO ALBUMS RELEASED IN 2023 AND AFTER, AND A DAILY LIMIT OF 3 ALBUMS AND NO REQUESTS FOR FLAC OR OTHER LOSSLESS, IF YOU WANT FLAC, BUY THE ALBUM)! Here you can say what you like, unless it's offensive, racist or discriminatory! Please keep your language polite and respectful. All other official posts will only allow comments related to the official posts and such. That way it will keep things much more organized and tidy. Enjoy! RYP and Gyro1966 and Gaius R.I.P

BILLY CONNOLLY
Isn't it just right to honour one of the greatest funny men while he is still alive!
People like Richard Pryor and Robin Williams, gone too soon.
So let us cherrish this one. Now I am going to post his episodes in Head Of The Class
(series 5) and the one series follow-up Billy.
Head Of The Class is as it says. A sitcom about a class of kids that is going on for four years.
Enter Billy, the Scottish new teacher. You don't need the previous seasons.
Be like the teacher, stepping into a new class, without knowing the history.

Richie Nixan - thanks for the info re Bill medley 45. Sadly I have no means of playing vinyl. I had to sell all my LPs when we moved to much smaller premises a decade or more ago. Frustrating, but so it goes. I'll keep searching.........and Imnokid, I will certainly post if and when, unless someone else pre-empts me. We can but hope ..........

So, now I am going to joke about how I, who does not enjoy Bill Medley (and that is nothing saying about him, but about me), has to buy a seven inch to rip (what i do enjoy) to please another. Bummer, maybe in the near future I might just do that.

Richie Muster said...

My thanks today go to Robert for the VdGG, Captain Deli for the randoms, and sambgodot for the RT. Always appreciated, chaps!

A perfect way to start exploring Post Punk

Various – Rough Trade Shops (Post Punk 01)

https://www.discogs.com/release/172876-Various-Rough-Trade-Shops-Post-Punk-01

For some musicians, punk was less a style to be slavishly imitated than the sound of a door opening. In its wake, anything experimental went, especially jerky, noisy white funk.

Some post-punks such as Blurt clearly regarded having tunes as pandering to the bourgeois phallocracy: they recall a dour era when Channel 4's Friday-night schedule meant cabaret with the Velvet Fist Women's Peace Choir instead of Graham Norton. Others, however, balance exploration and enjoyment. The Pop Group and Gang of Four hit the ground running. The Flying Lizards' icy cover of Sex Machine could have been made last week.

At Britpop's height, you could never imagine this music becoming fashionable again, but today it's painfully hip, thanks to bands such as the Rapture and Futureheads. Oddly, there's a sense that some current contenders are simply slavishly imitating their post-punk forebears. That seems rather to be missing the point of this fascinating compilation. -Alexis Petridis, 2003

Betty Harris – Soul Perfection Plus

https://www.discogs.com/release/3777051-Betty-Harris-Soul-Perfection-Plus

1998 compilation of everything recorded by one of 60s soul's lesser known divas. All 28 tracks produced by either Allen Toussaint or Bert Berns.

'Soul Perfection Plus' collects together the steady stream of amazing soul and funk singles issued by Betty Harris from 1963 to 1969, under the musical guidance of legendary composer, musician and producer extraordinaire Allen Toussaint, a collection which truly captures the heart and soul of the city of New Orleans during this era. Betty Harris’s powerful, fiery soulful vocals found a perfect accompaniment with the New Orleans’ players that Toussaint put together to back her, which by the time of her funk classic ‘There’s A Break In The Road’ were the legendary supertight, super-funk New Orleans group The Meters. With the extraordinary song-writing skills of Allen Toussaint alongside the powerful, soaring, confident and emotive singer and the groove of The Meters, you have an unbeatable combination.

That Harris never in fact lived in New Orleans (she flew in from Florida for all her sessions with Toussaint’s local in -house players) seems almost an irrelevance, a geographical aside to the defining New Orleans sound captured on the recordings featured here. All of these singles featured here were released on Allen Toussaint and his business partner Marshal Sehorn’s local New Orleans label Sansu, widely distributed in the southern city but in only limited quantities elsewhere. As a consequence, Betty Harris’ music failed to achieve the commercial success of other New Orleans artists such as Lee Dorsey (who she recorded with) and The Meters (who backed her). And so at the end of the decade she stopped recording, retired from the music business to raise her family in Florida. This is no reflection of the stunning musical quality of all these songs which encompass everything from southern soul, heavy funk, deep soul ballads and northern soul.

Thanks for these Jon Mark that I was unaware of. I sampled, very different from Mark-Almond, but I like. I feel some relaxing coming on.

Thanks to Super Sound for the Betty Harris set.
