…and now for something completely different! 2813 - 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.

Mark R said...

MUSICAL QUESTION: I'm looking to identify a rockabilly-ish song from the 80's or 90's that has a refrain something like "red, ready, steady, green, let's go." I don't need a digital copy, just the name and artist.

Thanks, all.

Edward Said

I've been mostly away for a few years due to my wife's health decline and death last month. She was 64 and enjoyed most of my music. I miss her.

I'm waiting for a new turntable to arrive so I'll start sharing CDs.
I have about 4 boxes of CDs and will rip them and then trade them in for more CD's. Only one today, as it still takes me 2 hours to rip and prepare a CD for sharing. It should get faster as I go.

Starting with the A's:

Aerosmith's Greatest Hits
Columbia CK 57367
CD Reissued, Remastered
Released 1993

mp3 and flac

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as "the Bad Boys from Boston" and "America's Greatest Rock and Roll Band". Their style, which is rooted in blues-based hard rock, has come to also incorporate elements of pop rock, heavy metal, and rhythm and blues, and has inspired many subsequent rock artists. They were formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1970. Guitarist Joe Perry and bassist Tom Hamilton, originally in a band together called the Jam Band, met up with vocalist Steven Tyler, drummer Joey Kramer, and guitarist Ray Tabano, and formed Aerosmith. - Discogs

Dream On
Same Old Song And Dance (Single Version)
Sweet Emotion (Single Version)
Walk This Way (Slightly Edited Version)
Last Child
Back In The Saddle
Draw The Line
Kings And Queens (Single Version)
Come Together
Remember (Walking In The Sand)

The guys gone completely “off the rails”. He’s claiming ownership of all the files on his blog. If you share a file with anyone from his blog he’s claiming you’re stealing. Even the ones people have sent to him to complete some of his want lists. Because he has to take the time to clean them up.

The artist are really "The Polecats". In their song with the title "'Red, Ready, Amber" they sing the refrain "red, ready, steady, green, let's go."
Lyrics:
Red, ready, amber, set, green, let's go!
I'm racin' like the wind, that's not very slow
Takin' no notice of my my speedo
I put my foot to the floor, race forward and then
Had to pull over, I was nicked again

I'm the king of the highway and don't you know
In my car I'm a cool daddy-o
I'm a hot rod kid and I never drive slow
Red, ready, amber, set, green, let's go!

Red, ready, amber, set, green, let's go!
I'm a real mean dude in my daddy's car
I go very fast, but I never go far
I toot my horn at the girls, just missed a brick wall
My foot slips off the gas, and then I stall

Various Artists: The Treasure Isle Ska Albums Collection

https://www.discogs.com/release/13361975-Various-The-Treasure-Isle-Ska-Albums-Collection

By the time the driving rhythms of ska exploded onto the international music scene in 1964, former policeman and legendary producer, Arthur ‘Duke’ Reid was long established as one of Jamaica’s successful and powerful operators, rivalled only by Clement ‘Coxson’ Dodd of Studio One fame. At the height of this ska boom, the Duke set to reinforce his reputation as a leading player on the local music scene with the release of “The Birth Of Ska” and “Latin Goes Ska”, each featuring a dozen major Jamaican hits of the early 1960s. Both of these hugely collectable albums, along with a further two original Treasure Isle ska collections, “The Skatalite!” and “Don Drummond Greatest Hits”, feature on this essential 2CD set, which also includes an additional 19 Jamaican hits from the original ska era. Performed by many of the island’s greatest talents and produced by one of the most demanding record bosses on the Kingston recording scene, the music is of the highest standard, ensuring this 2CD set is an absolute must for all fans of the ever-popular genre!

[...] The creators of these tunes could never have foreseen their longevity, but they come up fresh even after all the years since they were put on tape. People say certain things are dated, but to me it is all in the mind. Yes, if you only know ska from the Specials or ska-punk, it is going to take a bit of adjustment. These grooves were purely built for the dances, by musicians mainly schooled in jazz and/or blues, but their appeal has endured and there’s a whole bundle of excellence present in the 58 tracks of The Treasure Isle Ska Albums Collection. It is the true feel-good music for me. I found it impossible to remain in a grump whilst listening to this and if that isn’t something to treasure in 2019, I don’t know what is. -Ian Canty

Edward my biggest fear is how well I would fare if I lost my wife. I don't know if I would be as brave as you. It will never be less painful but time will make it less often. Take care.

RE - Prof R'N'R he has stopped sharing.

Prof R'N'R was very generous when he first started his collection. Thanks to the Prof for all the fine tunes.
Perhaps he was confronted by the music police and had to tighten up.

Leif said...

I agree that he did a great job!

Jim G said...

Deepest sympathies for the loss of your wife, Edward.

Apesville said...

I agree but one collector sent him one track & asked him not to share it with anybody as he did not want it on youtube where people make money! . Rather than upset that person, he now has stopped sharing. I sent him hundreds of tracks. He no longer shares with me. He only allows ten close friends to download his topics. His blog his rules but why feature him if you can not download anymore?
