Plan 9 "Dealing With The Dead" 1984

The original vinyl of this, first released by Midnight back in '84, has long been one of many faves of the whole '80s "garage revival" scene. Much more psych than many, Plan 9 almost defied definition and later became much more jam / freeform but on this they're firmly rooted in that "acid punk" sound of '66/'67, with swirling fuzz guitars, organ and snarling vocals galore!
Heavy duty psycho garage rock. Eric Stumpo and band create a dense facsimile of an underground garage band from the 60's. Fuzz guitars and lots of swirling keys keep your ears buzzin' throughout this collection of classics. The band did a pretty damn good job of producing this themselves. The sound isn't muddy or has a totally tinny top end like most independent releases are. R.K. Sloan did the great cover and even added a comic book. "I Like Girls" is a fine rocker with some great fuzz guitar. "Dealing With the Dead" starts with some thunder and narration about the dead...there's some strange moaning in the background followed by 5 and a half minutes of Rocky Erikson like ramblings. I love this stuff! reviewer: MaxMurdoc

Eric Stumpo -vocals, guitar / Deborah De Marco - keyboards / Evan Williams - lead guitar / Tom Champlin - guitar / John De Vault - guitar, narration on track 4 / Michael Ripa - guitar, vocals, percussion / John Florence - bass, percussion / Steven Andersen - drums

Hoodoo Gurus "Kinky" 1991

"..plunders the sock drawers of pop history for their fifth album of inhumanly jolly and entertaining six-string rock..
"Having perfected their rollicking, genre-bending blend of kitschy garage-rock, power pop, psychedelia, surf and winsome balladry, the band went up against the early-'90s wave of angst and despair that swept away feel-good nostalgia and lost sight of its strengths. They began making records that didn't do its talent justice. By the end of the '90s, they were history.
Kinky is confident and proficient band, a batch of excellent songs but no new ideas. "Head in the Sand" starts things off on a poundingly aggressive note, while the ultra-pretty "Castles in the Air" has one of those chill-inducing hooks so rarely found in contemporary pop. Despite the album's meaningless title and the self- explanatory "Miss Freelove '69" (on which the group gamely indulges in retro flower-power shtick), Kinky is an innocuous delight. [Doug Brod/Ira Robbins]

"The Mood Mosaic" Vol 8 Funky In A Minor Mode

In order to avoid disappointment, the best way to approach any Mood Mosaic compilation is as a semi professional mix CD made by a mate's older brother's mate with a fantastic record collection who enjoys designing the artwork...
...Volume 3, subtitled 'Funky In A Minor Mode', is a killer collection of funky groovers that would fill a church hall, patio, living room or indeed any space you've marked out as a dance floor from the moment you hit play. Unusually for a Mood Mosaic, there's not a duffer to ruin the mood and plenty of diversity to make you want to leave the CD on repeat. Watch out that one of your guests does not pocket this beauty on the way out. Highly recommended! (Record Runner)

The Boomtown Rats "The Fine Art Of Surfacing" 1979

Chock-full of new wave charisma and tamed by Bob Geldof's upfront wit, The Fine Art of Surfacing is novel in both its lyrical flair and modern pounce...
...Made famous by the colorful history of "I Don't Like Mondays," a true story about a 16-year-old girl who shot 11 people without showing any remorse, The Fine Art of Surfacing switches gears from this song's well-crafted harshness to the hectic pace of tracks such as "Nice N' Neat" and "Sleep," among others. "Diamond Smiles" jaunts along on a hiccup-like rhythm, while "Keep It Up" is downright frantic. "Someone's Looking at You" basks in a certain type of smug paranoia, and songs like "Having My Picture Taken" and "Nothing Happened Today" are beautifully lit up by Geldof's wide-eyed dramatics and explicit vocal swings. Sharing the same sort of stylishness as A Tonic for the Troops, The Fine Art of Surfacing bursts with florid pop genius, which in turn kept the Boomtown Rats from sounding like other new wave bands that existed at the time. - Review by Mike DeGagne

James Brown "The Greatest Soul Sensation" 1975

"Soul Brother Number One," "The Godfather of Soul," "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business," "Mr. Dynamite" -- those are mighty titles, but no one can question that James Brown earned them more than any other performer...
...Other singers were more popular, others were equally skilled, but few other musicians were so influential over the course of popular music. And no other musician put on a more exciting, exhilarating stage show: Brown's performances were marvels of athletic stamina and split-second timing. Through the gospel-impassioned fury of his vocals and the complex polyrhythms of his beats, Brown was a crucial midwife in not just one, but two revolutions in American music; he was one of the figures most responsible for turning R&B into soul and he was, most would agree, the one figure most responsible for transforming soul music into funk. Fittingly, his music became even more influential as it aged, since his voice and rhythms were sampled on innumerable hip-hop recordings, and critics belatedly hailed his innovations as among the most important in all of rock or R&B. - by Richie Unterberger

Cab Calloway "Minnie The Moocher" 1998 disc 2 - mono

American band-leader of the 1930s-1940s, jazz musician, singer, song-writer & multi-talented EmCee renowned for his 'scat singing' style...
...Calloway's orchestra rotated as a 'house band' with that of Duke Ellington at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem through the Prohibition era. His snappy 'zoot-suit' dress sense and skillful vaudeville song-and-dance routines made him an extremely popular entertainer. His 'moonwalking' predating that of Michael Jackson by about a half-century.
In later years he continued performing and featured in films, such as "The Cincinnati Kid" (1965) with Steve McQueen & Edward G. Robinson. The "Cab Calloway School of the Arts", in Wilmington, Delaware, was dedicated in his name in 1994. Calloway died shortly after a stroke and his ashes are interred at Ferncliffe Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York. - discogs

The Lords Of The New Church "The Lords Of The New Church" 1982

Although their roots were in punk rock, their debut album announced to the world that the Lords of the New Church were not your average punk band...
...They had ambitions: they would be the last beacon of truth in a world nearing its end. And while you can't call The Lords of the New Church entirely successful -- for every high point like "Open Your Eyes" or "Russian Roulette" there's a clunker like "Portobello" or "Eat Your Heart Out" -- you can't fault their effort. Guitarist Brian James and the Dave Tregunna/Nick Turner rhythm section provide a wide-screen setting, with guest musicians adding synths and horns to the guitar bass, and drums foundation. But the face, mouth, and heart of the Lords was Stiv Bators, who casts himself here in the role of rock & roll poet/preacher/prophet. He was no Bob Dylan, to be sure, but on The Lords of the New Church Bators demonstrates lyrical maturity surprising to anyone who ever heard Dead Boys songs like "I Need Lunch." Consider these few lines from "New Church," which may not be high art, but make their point and also serve as a neat summary of the Lords ethos: "Truth can't be found on the television/Throw away youth ya gotta take a stand/Music is your only weapon/Spanners in the works go start your gang...." Lords of the New Church is very much an artifact of the Reagan era, and somewhat dated in its approach, but Bators' core message of personal freedom, and the fervor and sincerity with which he delivered it, have retained their resonance across the years. ~ Bill Cassel, All Music Guide

Tarantinos NYC "Super Sounds Of The Cinema" 2009

Total Twang and Severe Reverb, an Instrumental Smorgasbord, Flavored by the Films of Quentin Tarantino. - bandcamp
Yes, Tarantino music is it's own genre. Ask the many ad execs who pick up on the latest from every Tarantino film and use it. There are great songs that have singing in them too, but we don't do those. We specialize in the great crossfade between 60's-70's Surf, Soul, Spy and Spaghetti Western that makes gangsters, samurai, failed thieves, and even basterds somehow more hip, and more appealing.
We were Ennio, Booker T, Mancini and Dick Dale fans long before we saw any Tarantino Movies, but there's something about what's moving on the film during these songs that makes them really swing. See ya later. - https://www.tarantinosnyc.com/about-us

Hoodoo Gurus "Magnum Cum Louder" 1989

1989's MAGNUM CUM LOUDER's three singles 'Come Anytime', 'Another World' and 'Baby Can Dance' all garnered significant airplay upon release.
1987's Blow Your Cool! found the Hoodoo Gurus adding a considerable amount of polish to their production and toning down their trademark humor in a bid for a wider audience. But in the United States, it didn't pay off; Blow Your Cool! opened few new doors for the Gurus, and they were dropped by Elektra Records. Thankfully, 1989's Magnum Cum Louder found them newly contracted to RCA Records and sounding like their loyal fans loved them to sound -- loud, hooky, and rockin' out with a smile on their collective face. The album's opener, "Come Anytime," was the Gurus' most irresistible pop song since "Bittersweet," and "Another World," "All the Way," and "Baby Can Dance (Pts. II-IV)" proved they hadn't used up all their good hooks in one place. Meanwhile, those wanting something stronger got their fix with a handful of top-shelf rockers, most notably "Axegrinder," "Glamourpuss," "I Don't Know Anything," and "Death in the Afternoon." The high wackiness of Hoodoo Gurus classics like "Hayride to Hell" and "Dig It Up" is still missing from Magnum Cum Louder, but the overall tone is much more relaxed than Blow Your Cool!; Dave Faulkner seems to be having a fun with the songs here, especially the mock-pompous "Axegrinder," the smirking "Glamourpuss," and the baseball saga/music biz metaphor "Where's That Hit." The Hoodoo Gurus also went back to producing themselves, and the audio is full but uncluttered, with a roomy, natural sounding mix that flatters Brad Shepherd's guitars and Mark Kingsmill's drums more than the slicker, sterile sound of Blow Your Cool! Magnum Cum Louder proved that the Hoodoo Gurus knew better than anyone how to make a great Hoodoo Gurus album, and it marked a welcome return to form for the band. Mark Deming, All Music Guide
Hoodoo Gurus:
Brad Shepherd (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Dave Faulkner (vocals, guitar, organ); Rick Grossman (vocals, bass); Mark Kingsmill (drums). Additional personnel: Stephanie Faulkner (background vocals). Recorded at Trafalgar Studio, Sydney, Australia.

DOGS "Three Is A Crowd" 1993

Recorded at "Studio de la Seine", Paris - March 1993.
In 1993, Dogs were a trio again. Antoine has left the band at the end of 1992 to entirely dedicate to his own project: Tony Truand & the Million Bolivar Quartet. It's the same for Michel Gross who left in 1989 after the seventh Dogs’ album 'A Million Ways Of Killing Time'. The rhythm section of Tupelo Soul, Bruno Lefaivre on drums and Christian Rosset on bass is supporting Dominique, the soul of Dogs.
The eighth album "Three in a crowd" produced by Colin Fairley who has worked on "More, More, More", is released by Skydog and recorded at the Studio de la Seine in Paris.
Philippe Almosino (guitar player) who gave a hand at the time of the previous album 'A Million Ways Of Killing Time' takes part in a few titles.
Less 'licked' than the two previous albums 'Three Is A Crowd' is back to a harder rock as symbolized by the cover of 'I Wanna Be Your Dog'. The cover photo of 'Three Is A Crowd' reminds me 'Walking Shadows'. - from sonsofthedolls.blogspot

Plan 9 "Plan 9" 1984

PLAN 9! 9 GUITARS? WHO KNOWS?
Interim project 1983 involved Andy Doback and Whiplash records. Andy is a buddy and we thought it would be ok to do a record with him, and we were jamming out a lot at this point, plus the idea of doing a two sided 45 seemed unique. Deb designed the cover and 2 thousand copies of 5 YEARS AHEAD OF MY TIME (Third Bardo) were pressed. Mike Meehan's final contribution, this 45 is very hard to find, and fun to play with. Subsequently released on New Rose along with other tracks from the DWD sessions, so we could buy a better tour bus.
Significant in the fact that it had no title, the New Rose release had many rare great cuts, released in 1984 along with a special cut on the Pink Box compilation.

James Brown "Pop History" 1970 Vol 3

James Brown was raised in poverty in Augusta, Georgia. Previously worked as a shoe shiner, car washer & a cotton picker...
1950s: Joined the Gospel Starlighters in 1953, a vocal quartet led by Bobby Byrd, after completing a four-year stint in prison for robbery. As Brown became the focal point of the act, the group changed its name to 'The Famous Flames' and its focus from gospel to R&B. In 1955 The Famous Flames record "Please Please Please" at the studio of WIBB in Macon, Georgia. In 1958 James Brown's first #1 hit, "Try Me", is released. It was the best-selling R&B single of 1958, and the first of 17 chart-topping R&B singles by Brown over the next two decades.
1965: Records "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag", a revolutionary single that ushers in a whole new era of soul music. Released that summer, it tops the R&B chart for eight weeks and even cracks the pop Top Ten.
1971: Signs with Polydor Records, for which he recorded extensively throughout the decade.

XTC "Black Sea" 1980

XTC continue on with the big drum sound of Drums and Wires, adding more polish and an even heavier-hitting approach for Black Sea -- their arrangements are fuller and they rock harder than ever before...
...Where Drums and Wires implied social commentary, Black Sea more directly addresses sociopolitical concerns, handling them not strictly in a theoretical sense, but rather showing a human response to the circumstances. Of course, the band's skewed outlook and mid-'60s pop sense keeps things from becoming too heavy -- included are some of their finest songs, like "Respectable Street," "Generals and Majors," and "Towers of London," as well as the thoroughly enjoyable pop fluff throwaway "Sgt. Rock (Is Going to Help Me)" to keep the mood light. All in all, there isn't a bad song in the bunch -- Black Sea is their most consistent album to date -- and although XTC always operated on the fringes, the album is their most commercial-sounding, fitting in perfectly with the new wave of the late '70s/early '80s. [The 1987 CD reissue adds three tracks -- "Smokeless Zone," "Don't Lose Your Temper," and "The Somnambulist" -- to the middle of the album. And while the extras are welcomed (especially "Don't Lose Your Temper"), they really should have been tacked on to the end rather than disrupting the original.] - Review by Chris Woodstra

"The Mood Mosaic" Vol 6 Jazz A Go Go

6th volume in the great Mood Mosaic series, with a theme that focuses on swingin' female jazz singers – mostly of the light breezy Euro variety...
...There's loads of rare cuts on here by Sheila Jordan, France Gall, Alice Babs, Monika Linges, Flora Purim, Annete Peacock, and April Aloisio – plus tracks by other artists that have jazzy vocals, like stuff by Cal Tjader, Barney Wilen, and Sinatra. As usual, this Mood Mosaic comp's slightly different than the last one, but (also as usual) it's compiled with a lot of care, and features loads of hard to find tracks with a groovy clubby sound! © 1996-2016, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Hoodoo Gurus "Blow Your Cool!" 1987

Quintessentially Australian, the band provides ideal listening for long hot afternoons around the barbecue or relaxing in the pub with a beer.
Without a doubt, this is the most gut wrenching, popped-up, agony induced CD ever produced. Sharp lyrics and driving guitars make this CD a classic. If you aren't singing the lyrics in a mock heart-felt rendition by the 3rd listening, something is wrong with you. This is one fine, fine CD. The opening song, "Out That door" is the perfect song crying out for lust lost. What follows are solid songs that will touch your heart. Now don't get me wrong, These are great pop/rock songs, but they, unlike most music today, have heart. Reviewer: PJY "pjsailor" (Cumming, Ga USA)

Plan 9 "Frustration" 1982

Their first - great raw 60s sound. Featuring four guitars and a sound straight from those psychedelic '60s, Rhode Island's Plan 9 dealt with little except period covers on their first album, 1982's Frustration.
Outside of its art college, Rhode Island hasn't exactly been a storehouse for modern rock music. But the state has a group to be proud of in Plan 9, whose Frustration is exciting garage psychedelia. The swirling, mesmerizing effect of four (!) guitars recalls the best of the late '60s and gives able support to Eric Stumpo's emotional vocals. There are no original songs here, just covers of period gems like Them's "I Can Only Give You Everything." - from: trouser press

Cab Calloway "Minnie The Moocher" 1998 disc 1 - mono

American band-leader of the 1930s-1940s, jazz musician, singer, song-writer & multi-talented EmCee renowned for his 'scat singing' style...
...Calloway's orchestra rotated as a 'house band' with that of Duke Ellington at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem through the Prohibition era. His snappy 'zoot-suit' dress sense and skillful vaudeville song-and-dance routines made him an extremely popular entertainer. His 'moonwalking' predating that of Michael Jackson by about a half-century.
In later years he continued performing and featured in films, such as "The Cincinnati Kid" (1965) with Steve McQueen & Edward G. Robinson. The "Cab Calloway School of the Arts", in Wilmington, Delaware, was dedicated in his name in 1994. Calloway died shortly after a stroke and his ashes are interred at Ferncliffe Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York. - discogs

The Tourists "Luminous Basement" 1980

The Tourists' third album found the group continuing to expand its musical horizons, especially by integrating Annie Lennox's keyboards into the mix, while maintaining their basic pop/rock focus...
...Peet Coombes's lyrics had an inward-looking, psychoanalytical focus, and Lennox, on her one contribution, "One Step Near the Edge," maintained that introspection, while Dave Stewart brought in a Yardbirds-like raveup in "Let's Take a Walk." "Don't Say I Told You" showed that the group could still come up with an ear-catching single, but it and the album enjoyed only modest success, and in a developing group, momentum is important. Thus, Coombes and bassist Eddie Chin broke off to form the Acid Drops (who have not been heard from since), while Lennox and Stewart became Eurythmics. - Review by William Ruhlmann
