…and now for something completely different! 2807 - 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.

Thanks a lot for the Billy Jack Wills, Redokrat!
I'm not sure if I have Crazy Man Crazy because I have a couple compilations somebody posted to archive.org and theres no info on what album they're from...So yes I would love it!
I like Billy Jack's stuff better than Johnny Lee's sound. It seems to be more rock n' roll and R & B influenced. But of course neither are Bob Wills.

Thanks again!

Various – Roland Alphonso & The Originals Orchestra: ABC Rock Steady, Expanded Edition

https://www.discogs.com/release/13452424-Various-ABC-Rock-Steady

Released by Trojan Records in 1968, when the famed London-based Jamaican music company was still in its infancy, “ABC Rock Steady” is today one of the most sought-after long players from the rock steady era. Produced by pioneering female operator, Sonia Pottinger, the set primarily showcases instrumental versions of some of her most popular releases, performed by the Originals Orchestra – a short-lived ensemble that included some of Jamaica’s finest session players, notably legendary saxman Roland Alphonso, ace guitarist Lyn Taitt and keyboard maestros, Leslie Butler and Aubrey Adams. This deluxe 2CD represents the album alongside an incredible 43 bonus tracks that include the original vocal versions of recordings on the LP plus the best of Pottinger’s output from the 12 months preceding its release. Among the recordings featured are some of the biggest hits of the late sixties as well as a dozen recordings new to CD, making this by the far the finest – and most compelling - rock steady collection yet to see issue in 2019!

[...] Overall ABC Rocksteady is consistent and consistently interesting to listen to. Sonia Pottinger always seasoned the current trends with a little variety and had a definite idea on how her records should sound, putting equal effort into making her musicians and vocalists sound good. This collection stands out from a lot of very good sets of this kind because she still recorded other types of music than the prevailing trend and favoured a clear sound. As such, ABC Rocksteady is an ultimately satisfying collection, bringing together a number of obscure artists at their best in sympathetic settings. -Ian Canty

I love this album, especially "Tidepool Interlude", Al's homage to his California home, narrated by Alec Baldwin. Corny to some I know, but beautiful to me.

@TC my pleasure, glad you like these comps. A lot of these artists I (re)discover myself, it's great fun actually. Grtz.

Mike said...

I, too, would like to thank Ja-Mike for his great "An Introduction To" series. I had not been paying attention to your posts, as I have not much experience with Reggae music, but your John Holt post grabbes me for some reason, and I cannot stop listening to it now! It's much better than Countryman , which was my idea of reggae!
I went through June, July & August posts and found twenty-three different "An Introduction to" posts. HAVE I FOUND THEM ALL?
Thanks again,
Mike M
