"Do The 45!" Vol. 67 (2017)

Super fun collection of soul, blues, R&B, instro, and rock 'n' roll from the original 45's. (From my record collection.)It's just me having fun with my 45's and whatever random record I pull out of the boxes. I will try to give both sides of the 45 unless one side is unbearable. I hope you enjoy. (Gyro1966)
Starting with volume 28, I went back to the same setup that i used for the Garage Greats 45's series. I used the NAD preamp. Not sure if there is a sonic difference, but these 45's sure sounded great blasting out of two huge power amps into two quality sets of speakers on my end.trax:

Barbara Lynn "Promises" (Jamie 1962-1965)

This is the companion disc to YOU'LL LOSE A GOOD THING. I feel it is not quite up to the high standard of YOU'LL LOSE A GOOD THING, but it is still excellent. Track #30 is an outtake version of You'll Lose A Good Thing......Barbara Lynn may not be as well known as Irma Thomas or Tammi Terrell, but you should add these discs to your collection if you like 60s R&B music.
Coming into prominence just before the popularity of Southern Soul, Barbara Lynn is usually considered an exponent of that musical genre. Her music is much more eclectic than that, however, and her heartfelt songs transcend all regional boundaries. As a singer, she helped move black music into a new maturity. As a songwriter, she created an extraordinary body of wonderful lyrics, and that perhaps, is her greatest achievement. (The Guardian)trax:
01 Oh, Baby (We got a Good Thing goin') [Live] 02 Silly Of Me [Live] 03 Jim Dandy [Live] 04 That's Something I Can Do [Live] 05 Dedicate The Blues To Me [Live] 06 What Am I Living For [Live] 07 There's Something On Your Mind [Live] 08 Careless Hands [Solo_Live] 09 Oh Seniorita [Live] 10 Just A Dream [Live] 11 Since I Met You Baby [Live] 12 (I Cried At) Laura's Wedding [Live] 13 I'm Sorry I Met You 14 To Love Or Not To Love 15 Don't Spread It Around 16 Jealous Love 17 You Don't Have To Go 18 Do You Feel Like Dancin' 19 I've Taken All I'm Gonna Take 20 What I Need Is Love 21 Promises 22 It's Better To Have It 23 Money 24 Let Her Knock Herself Out 25 Keep On Pushing Your Luck 26 All I Need Is Your Love [Outtake] 27 That's What A Friend Will Do 28 You're Gonna Be Sorry 29 (Don't Pretend) Just Lay It On The Line 30 You'll Lose A Good Thing [Outtake]

The Original Sins "Big Soul" 1987

It's a crying shame that the Original Sins didn't ever get a bigger following. Main reason is probably the "grunge scene" (whatever that means) hit just as the Sins were hitting their stride. Like one of the other reviewers said, there are no bad Original Sins records. The lyrics are real, heartfelt, a little twisted and often funny, the music is sometimes a raging blast of searing garage-pop heaviness, sometimes it's straight pop-rock and sometimes it's melancholic beauty. Leader / singer / guitarist is a genuinely brilliant songwriter and even though their music is heavily inspired by 60's garage / 60's punk, the songs are so consistently special that they rise above the level of your average 60's-inspired fuzz merchants. Farfisa organ throughout their records add extra melodic color to the beautiful rock'n'roll powerhouse created by JT and the Sins' rhythm section. "Big Soul" is their first and although it doesn't sew together the best elements of the band on every track, it does have it's fair share of essential Sins tunes. - By C. Sephtin "Rockface" (Ohio)The rocking Bethlehem, Pennsylvania garage that incubated the Original Sins hasn't had a new coat of paint or even a serious spring cleaning in ages. Led by diminutive howler/guitarist J.T. (John Terlesky), the quartet — which didn't change, lineup-wise, save for one drummer change, between its 1987 debut and 1996's Bethlehem — has stayed true to its chosen era, re-creating the down and dirty organ-fueled excitement and atmosphere of '60s punk bands like the Standells and Seeds. Synthesizing convincing originals from standard ingredients, the Sins have been remarkably consistent in their quality control, trying new vintages now and then but keeping stylistic ambition from overtaking them (like the Chesterfield Kings) while steering clear of the sense that they've done it all before (like the Lyres).
Big Soul is an instant classic, slyly simple contemporary grunge stripped of nostalgia and ready to pop. The Sins avoid the easy cover route to create its own vintage memories on "Not Gonna Be All Right" and "Can't Feel a Thing," with Dan McKinney's cheesy organ adding the appropriate icing. Less aggressive tunes — like "Why Don't You Smile, Joan?" — maintain the no-nonsense spirit, peeling away tough posturing to get at searing emotions that are never far from the surface. (The 1994 CD reissue adds a half-dozen tracks — including covers of "Sugar Sugar" and a brief bit of "Route 66" — not on the original vinyl.) - trouserpress [Jon Young/Terry Rompers]trax:
01 Just 14 02 Not Gonna Be All Right 03 Can't Feel A Thing 04 Possession 05 All In My Head 06 Your Way 07 My Mother's Mirror 08 Road to Emmaus 09 The Party's Over Now 10 Help Yourself 11 Read Your Mind 12 Why Don't You Smile, Joan? 13 Inside_Out 14 Big Soul 15 I Want to Live 16 Sugar Sugar 17 Route 66 18 The Timekeeper

"N.Y. WILD GUITARS" 1992

Fantastic CD of hot guitarists from the Fire/ Fury/ Enjoy labels……Mighty Joe Young gets the distortion started with Why Baby/ Empty Arms; he is one of the best of the many muscular fretters here. The biggest name is Tarheel Slim, whose #9 Train/ Wildcat Tamer are prime cuts of tough NYC blues. But the wildest by far was Wild Jimmy Spruill, who livens up Wilbert Harrison's Kansas City as well as 6 of his own guitar-wrecking instrumentals including Hard Grind and Cut And Dried (all previously reissued on Krazy Kat LP 7429, as I recall). There are a few mediocre tracks mixed in, but rare sides by the Charles Lucas Combo, B. Brown (possibly Spruill here), Billy Lewis, and Hal Paige & The Whalers make this a must for fans of vintage fret-melting technique. 20 selections. (MB) (Roots ‘n Rhythm)trax:

Holly Golightly & Dan Melchior "Desperate Little Town" 2001

Since guitarist Dan Melchior has appeared on most of her recordings, the casual observer could certainly be forgiven for thinking that Desperate Little Town is a Holly Golightly solo effort in all but name -- except it isn't…...Melchior wrote most of the originals (four songs are covers) and shares most of the vocals. Further, the music has more of a folk-blues bent than Golightly's solo material, which also incorporates pop, soul, and R&B elements. Considering how long she's been collaborating with members of the Milkshakes and Thee Headcoats, it should come as little surprise that Melchior's singing sounds a little like that of Billy Childish. At the very least, Desperate Little Town would make a nice companion piece to the album, In Blood, she recorded with Childish himself in 1999. As on many Golightly releases, Bruce Brand, another architect of the "Medway sound," handles percussion duties.  - AllMusic Review by Kathleen C. Fennessytrax:

Barbara Lynn "You'll Lose A Good Thing" (Jamie 1962-1965)

Barbara Lynn Ozen's smoky voice and fine guitar playing was one of the better blends of soul vocals and blues embellishment. Huey P. Meaux produced this early-'60s record, which featured the classic title track. Other Lynn numbers, like "I'll Suffer," were equally outstanding; Lynn was sometimes tough and confrontational, and tender, inviting or anguished at other times. Meaux didn't clutter the works with unnecessary firepower; his arrangements and charts were just enough to augment Lynn's sturdy vocals. Lynn also wrote ten of the 12 songs. (The Guardian)28-track compilation of her best early sides from 1962-65, including a half-dozen previously unreleased cuts. The material is worthy, idiosyncratic stuff with a bluesier, swampier feel than most any other soul being made during the time. New Orleans-styled horns, bluesy organ, and some gutsy guitar licks usually decorate the arrangements, while Lynn puts the tunes across with an assured reserve. One oddity is "Can't Buy My Love," on which it sounds like producer Huey Meaux was trying to replicate the organ-colored polka-rock he'd just crafted for the Sir Douglas Quintet.(Allmusic)trax:

THE ODD NUMBERS "About Time" 1990

"It's one of their earlier albums and it's an absolute corker!" - russell
I first heard the odd numbers in a skateboard video back in 1991. on a subsequent trip to san fransisco i found their original release of 'about time' on cassette. these guys are pure pop genius. if you enjoy the 1960's pop sound with a healthy dose of english mod influence (think of the early Who) then you will dig the odd numbers. "Retrofitted for today" continues the odd numbers experience right where "about time" leaves off. I'm glad that some of this stuff has been discovered and released. This is much more of a fresh 'pop punk' sound than the typical blink 182 clones out there. i don't really consider it punk at all...its retro pop...from back when pop music was made by bands, not teenaged girls singing through synthesizers. - By TR Toffoli (FTC, Colorado)trax:

"Rave On" The Coral Story 1954-1961

I personally have purchased the entire British Hit Parade series, from 1954 to 1961, which contained every charted a side singles that entered the UK chart during those years. I am glad to find that in this current The Coral Story, many rare songs, which I have been searching for, have not charted, thus a welcome new addition to my library.
The label is One Day Music, a re-issue label from UK, also has other similar releases, such as The Top Rank Story 1960 & 1961 (each 2 CDs)(reviewed elsewhere), The Pye International Story (2 CDs)(reviewed elsewhere) and Oh Boy: the Brunswick Story (2 CDs)(reviewed elsewhere)…these are the popular labels (Top Rank, Pye International, Coral and Brunswick) from the 60s.
If you like oldies from UK and US, this set is an enjoyable listening experience. But for collectors like myself, this set is like a goldmine with lots of rare gems. This set with such a cheap price is recommended, especially for collectors.
  (Dr. Joseph Lee, The Guardian)For record-buyers of a certain age, the Coral label means only one thing – Buddy Holly! The rock era’s first ever singer-songwriter cut his solo hits with this subsidiary of the Decca Record Company formed in 1949. Prior to his emergence, Coral’s most famous artists were the McGuire sisters, Lawrence Welk, and Teresa Brewer (who married label manager Bob Thiele). Debbie Reynolds with the movie-promoted Tammy gives Coral its greatest success. There are many other artists on Coral, such as Johnny Burnette, Patsy Cline, Moon Mullican, our Canadian the Diamonds.
When Buddy Holly and his band the Crickets broke through in their native United States in 1957, they were marketed by Decca Records as separate acts: Brunswick for the Crickets and Coral for Buddy Holly.
Jerry Allison of the Crickets married Peggy Sue Gerron, the girl immortalized in song: Peggy Sue and Peggy Sue Got Married. Sonny Curtis is another Cricket who wrote More Than I Can Say (my favourite version is that by Bobby Vee). The Crickets later moved to Liberty label.
This Rave On: The Coral Story is a 2 CD set with 50 songs. The sound is quite clean with minimal hiss. The song listing, with the label & number, UK and US chart positions, is as follows:

The Insomniacs "Live At Maxwell's" 2005

New Jersey's mod power pop trio the Insomniacs formed in Englishtown in 1989 when their previous incarnation, the Tea Club, fizzled out after a year of rehearsals and infrequent gigs…...By 1991, the group, made up of brothers David Wojciechowski (bass) and Robert Wojciechowski (guitar) and drummer Michael Sinocchi, released their debut 7", My Favorite Story, on Umbrella Records. The Time Ticks By and Going Out of My Mind singles followed, and in 1994, the band put out its self-titled EP on Estrus, known among fans as "the ghoul record." The next two years brought the Sylvia Gray and Already Down 7" records. The band's first album was delayed by the infamous Estrus warehouse fire, but in 1997, the Insomniacs finally debuted their first full-length of catchy munster rock, Out of It. The groovy, shag carpets and mood rings follow-up, Get Something Going!, arrived on the scene in 2000, and the similarly fabuloso Switched On! appeared in finer record shops in 2004. - Artist Biography by Charles Spanotrax:
01 Already Down 02 Funkensteen 03 'bout My Love 04 Alice White 05 Somewhere 06 She's A Mess 07 It's Gone 08 Mary Anne Lightly 09 Don't Turn Away 10 I'm In Command 11 Guilt Free 12 Switched On 13 Leave 14 Sushine Girl 15 Small Faces

"The Golden Era Of Doowops" The Groups Of Atlas Records

Tommy Robinson's Atlas Records, originally based on 125th St. in New York's Harlem, was one of the first culturally significant record labels founded and operated by a Black owner……From 1951 until the early 1970s, the company specialized in R&B, evolving from urban blues and jazz in the beginning to doo wop music in the late 1950s -- their first release in December of 1951 was "Rock H-Bomb Rock" by H-Bomb Ferguson. In 1953, he started recording vocal groups, which heralded his entry into the doo wop field with the Caverliers Quartet. Other harmony groups and a cappella outfits that came aboard included the Revels, the Travelers, the Fi-Tones (the reorganized Caverliers), the Parakeets, the Gypsies (who had more of a jump sound), the Five Dukes, and the Lincolns, all of whom -- along with many others -- are represented on this 29-song collection. None of Atlas's releases ever charted nationally -- the company was essentially a one-man operation, and lacked the promotional clout and money to push songs that high nationwide -- but their artists were fixtures on local and regional charts. As for the diversity of material here, it runs the gamut from raunchy, heavily R&B-flavored numbers like the Caverliers' "Dynaflow" (a great unheralded car song with a real cool sax solo) and the Gypsies' jumping "Young Girl to Calypso," to smooth near-pop like "Lenora" by the Travelers. This collection also includes a pair of unreleased numbers by the Travelers and the Fi-Tones. The sound is good, and the notes are exceptionally detailed, as well. (Bruce Eder, Allmusic)

"Squeeze" (Buffalo Bop 55154)

The German Buffalo Bop label has been reissuing rare and obscure rockabilly and rock 'n' roll since the 70s - starting with LPs and switching over to CDs in the early 90s…...Buffalo Bop CDs usually have 30 tracks of rockabilly and rock 'n' roll from the 50s and early 60s - often very rare sides. Many of the issues have a subject or stylistic theme (juvenile delinquents, hot rods, trains, women singers, instrumentals, etc.). The tracks are mostly mastered from 45s and the sound quality is generally excellent - particularly on the later issues. Each CD comes with a booklet with a cover painting evocative of the music within and artist photos and label shots inside. With so many reissues available there are inevitably some duplications with other reissues but nevertheless there is a ton of great music available on these CDs not available elsewhere.

"LEGENDS OF GUITAR" - Surf

Simply the best instrumental surf music compilation ever produced. John Blair (author of The Illustrated Discography of Surf Music) has collected a CD full of pure gems. Excellent reverberated surf: Dick Dale, The Surfaris, The Chantays, The Lively Ones, The Ventures and many many more! A reverberated-guitar masterpiece...if you ever see one used, BUY IMMEDIATELY! (Amazon)Presented by Guitar Player magazine, the Legends of Guitar series is doing a pretty good job at documenting some of the most important and exciting guitar work of the past few decades... None of the 18 tracks, all released from 1962-65, were sizable hits; most, in fact, are rare regional singles known only to dedicated surf collectors. There are a few recognizable names: Dick Dale, the Chantays ("Pipeline"), The Ventures, the Surfaris, and Bobby Fuller, but even these selections steer clear of those acts' hits in favor of overlooked cuts. There are also some surprising lead guitarists: future Turtle Al Nichol (as part of The Crossfires), Randy Holden (one of the best obscure U.S. '60s guitarists) ...and, most amazingly, Jim Messina playing on discs by early surf combos... (Allmusic)
A quintessential must-have for any surf music fan, this collection is the best representation, so far, of the broad spectrum of styles that made up this genre of music!! Everyone from Dick Dale, The Ventures, The Chantays to lesser known acts such as The Crossfires, The Astronauts, and more are laid out in this beautiful eighteen song album. It features some of the greatest early guitar work as well as some hard to find surf instrumental gems! (Surf Digest)

Starting with volume 28, I went back to the same setup that i used for the Garage Greats 45's series. I used the NAD preamp. Not sure if there is a sonic difference, but these 45's sure sounded great blasting out of two huge power amps into two quality sets of speakers on my end.trax:

"Rockabilly Boogie" (Buffalo Bop 55147)

Germany's Buffalo Bop imprint has been issuing collections of rare and obscure rockabilly, hillbilly boogie, and early rock & roll 45s from the 1950s for awhile now, and it's astounding that there seems to be an endless supply of these vintage gems…...This latest set, like the label's earlier releases in the same genre, features more rarities, each transferred from the original 45 and remastered with care, so the sound is top-notch, making this compilation, like the others from Buffalo Bop, a delight for scholars and collectors. Sides like Riley Walker's "Uranium Miner's Boogie," Buddy Phillips' "River Boat Blues," and Kenny Brown's "Throw a Little Wood on the Fire," to name just three of the treats here, are full of so much unhinged joy and fun that even the casual listener will find a lot to enjoy and marvel at in these 28 tracks.(Steve Leggett, Allmusic)

The Fantastic 3 "14 Favorites!!!" 1999

French surf / instro band with a Link Wray influence. Very cool stuff."FANTASTIC 3, groupe composé de Denis Baudrillart (batterie), Fabrice Lombardo (basse) et Philippe Almosnino (guitare) se forme fin 98.
Leur style est intemporel, car il a toujours existé, appelé Rock'n'Roll primitif dans les 50's, Garage Surf dans les 60's ou Punk, Hardcore dans les 70's et 80's, il exprime ce qu'ils appellent le "vrai son", reconnaissable par tous car uniquement basé sur l'émotion et l'énergie.
Parallèlement Denis et Fabrice jouent ensemble dans le JIM MURPLE MEMORIAL, après avoir fait partie du HITSVILLE BAND de Wreckless Eric. Denis pour sa part officia dans les SOUCOUPES VIOLENTES et la MARABUNTA; Fabrice produit de nombreux groupes Rock'n'Roll et tient la contrebasse au sein des DAGOUSGET RAMBLERS, un combo cajun.
Philippe, après avoir joué avec les DOGS et Tony TRUANT, joue depuis 1992 avec les WAMPAS, avec lesquels il a enregistré 4 albums et fait plusieurs centaines de concerts.
Se connaissant depuis plus de dix ans, l'idée de former FANTASTIC 3 naît d'une volonté de jouer ensemble, considérant le trio instrumental comme la forme la plus ultime pour exprimer leur musique qu'ils définissent comme "crue et sauvage".
Ils nous livrent ici "14 Favorites", un album enregistré et mixé en 8 heures, sous le label PATATE RECORDS PRODUCTION (habitué à des productions jamaïcaines) pour qui c'est la première signature rock.
L'album est disponible en version CD et vinyle, ainsi qu'un single 45 tours, tournée à venir. - from: http://fantastic3.free.fr/bio.htmltrax:

"Rumble Rock" (Buffalo Bop 55149)

The German Buffalo Bop label has been reissuing rare and obscure rockabilly and rock 'n' roll since the 70s - starting with LPs and switching over to CDs in the early 90s......Buffalo Bop CDs usually have 30 tracks of rockabilly and rock 'n' roll from the 50s and early 60s - often very rare sides. Many of the issues have a subject or stylistic theme (juvenile delinquents, hot rods, trains, women singers, instrumentals, etc.). The tracks are mostly mastered from 45s and the sound quality is generally excellent - particularly on the later issues. Each CD comes with a booklet with a cover painting evocative of the music within and artist photos and label shots inside. With so many reissues available there are inevitably some duplications with other reissues but nevertheless there is a ton of great music available on these CDs not available elsewhere.
