Diskoteket (Trondheim)

As for gigs at Palace/Oslo and Diskoteket/Trondheim this

fall, Yours humbly admits having used (too?) well known

tunes from Internationalen last spring. Just scroll

back & see. A few newies belowe, 'though...



Rather we should have Son revealing his cover ups...

esp. them early, rougher Sledges' demoes on totally

impossible US blue Atco 78-79 played at Trondheim.

Sisters should well have been over at Cotillion by 78?

Story behind?



As some of you have noticed, Father spins disco sevens

only. OK, he might bring the lonely pee twelver (vinyl

record, that is), but it is Son that cares for them larger

Lefser. How come? Father might not be Paradise

Garage remixes' biggest fan...quarters of hours of bongo,

mango & conga 'fore reaching actual SONG...how about

some rather neat & lean?

Well, you shouldn't need to throw them soul 12"ers

after him, but as these haven't been bulk traded since

mid 90s and that's how Father always have been

collecting (" lucky if one in a dozen"), no wonder he ends

up with smaller sized alternatives (we're still talking vinyl

...records, for Heaven's sake).

How about sweepin' disco bass, to keep floor steppin'?

Admittedly, deepest drone may be lost on sevens. But

still there are lotsa bass goodies to lift from those little

imps. Need fresh needles that dare go deep in grooves'

troughs, while at same time apply max. pick up weight.

Sevens then may skid, do place paper rec.envelope on

turntable to prevent. Turn equalizer down on recordings

up to 81, to avoid "drinking youghurt with a straw"-

phenomenon. Later recordings are 'combed' and ok.

This apply, only if you are willing to squeeze disco

qualities out of your late 70s soul sevens. If platters are

too rare, maybe not after all?

Ol' deKlinik Stuff

Fortnight ago at Klub Mono, Father did announce himself to be doing ol' deKlinik stuff "beach/shag/blue eyed". And turned up at gig with one -1- seven that fullfilled cravings. W'happend?


Well, this goes back a long time...deKlinik of Oslo was launched fall 2000 as 'rhythm&soul club' and had steady row of 'soul inspectors' checking on Northern purity. Which at least Father neither could or would comply to. Could not, as far as his stock of Northern sevens was rather on the meagre. Would not, as he found discant,tin-trumpet Northern as of insufficient groove for club dancing. But Father collected US 60s garage 20 years earlier, and quite a few of these singles had soul'ish flips that were even appreciated on to NS LP samplers. So on they were. Did they stand the test? Oh well, maybe not...recall one inspector bleating 'kviiit sjiiit' (most derog. 'whytee shytee') which fortunately floor did not respond to. Referring to the music, he still stumbled on to a point: floor was remarkable bleached. In fact, we had dance academy classes coming from posh uptown, to try out what suspiciously looked like fox-trot to us (like couples 0:25 on)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OF58llit80&feature=related

Turned out that 'shagging' had different meanings in Brit English vs.east Dixie states of Virginia and Carolinas... Knowing most superficially of 'beach music' scene, Father related to Paul Weller's overhaul of gen.Johnson's disco hit. Didn't do things better as with the inspectors, when Disco rather than Weller version was spun.

General Johnson: "Can't nobody love me like you do" -78

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_6bU0h3oAM&feature=related



When deKlinik folded in 03 Father packed down singles used, for a rainy day. Like, 'I know where they are,
it's just to reach out for them'. Well, they weren't. Have no clue to where they may be gone.
And that, children, is how it came to be that Father turned up with one sole blue eyed at Klub Mono.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nuEAOufC6o


- Dave Clark 5: "Everybody get together" (Ger. Col.-70) Nice'n' wobbly Fab 4/'Rain' bass line with psych drone. NB do fade halfway, as Rugby Union chorals step up.

CLUB MONO APRIL PT. II

Father may have been taken a bit aback (if that's the expression he's seeking? abit aback?) as for requests Klub Mono this April, getting better response for intermission jingles than actual spun songs.


Well, I'm on a diet, so to Hell with it (P.Sellers)...the intermissions were..

- keyboard and drum breaks off Meters' UK Charley reissue EP -78/69.

Sparser demo-like takes to Josie and Jubilee issues.

- rap and sax break off Luther Brandon "Tuff-e-nuff" on US Fraternity -59.


Didn't anybody ask for them full songs, then? Guess two were better than none (sob)...

- Bubble Puppy "Thinkin' about thinkin' " (US I.A. -69) always causes some fuzz, as did here in East Coast version with more prominent 'madrigal' mid part.

http://www.garagehangover.com/?q=BubblePuppy

- Pat Wayne and Beachcombers (UK Col. 63) staple diet since deKlinik days, mixed with pitch'd up Kaylan (-76) "Disco reggae" for galley-slaves-on-dexedrines effect ('eclectic' is honor word,right?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0Zb70CCu9E
Then there were some F&S soul newies, too...

- Lee Dorsey "What you want (is what you get)" (US Bell -70) NOLa, hola!

http://editrecords.blogspot.com/2011/02/lee-dorsey-what-you-want-apple-scruffs.html
(edit that violently breaks any beats-to-the-bar rules. But best I could find)

- Erma Franklin "I'm just not ready for love" (US Shout -68) '2nd line' snare drumming, but no NOLa relation (Father is led to believe) on this here outing from elder Franklin sister. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-_mthkHOqw

- Jackie Lee "African boo-ga-loo" (US Keymen -68) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1Q6at5FeK8

- Johnny Rivers "Baby I need your lovin' " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqfEQwrR5Wc lip sync, but those steppin' chikse even out.

- King Hannibal "The truth shall make you free" (US Aware -72) John 8:32 and maybe more on
(inspirational) gnostic side. "too modern" in BeatBasement days, song has obviously come of age. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgcDWlub6Zk

- Ralph Jackson "Jambalaya" (US Amy -67) flip of better known 'Don't tear yourself down'.

- Barbara Stephens "I don't worry" (US Stax -61)

- Earl Harrison "Humphrey stomp" (US Garrison -66) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bGUJAz4ftc&feature=related

- Al Green "Let me help you" (US Bell -71) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkaX5tVTwGU

Monday, April 11, 2011

Playlist "Still go Beat" Club Mono Mainroom, Oslo april 8th 2011.

- Everly Bros.: "The price of love" (Norw. WB -65) Ferry/Roxy
Music's version 76 may be the better known. From Everlies' London session 65

- Gene Pitney: "Time won't let me" (US Musicor early 70s
reissue) Outsiders' song. Pitney was to rush release his,
hindrering them going nationally.

- Cliffters: "Django" (DK Philips -61) Dick Dale with Danish
Nissemænd? Clog surf rock? Band moniker as for CLIFF Richard, word pun on non-existant 'clifter'. Song named not after sinti mr.Reinhard, but rather as for some 50s Western movie. Most influental song in Scandinavian 'Piggtråd'

- Jon & Robin + In Crowd: "Love me baby" (Can. Abnak -67) Gloria/
Elevators riff, RnB tinged. Always mused how this whitey Texan label reached across Color Line with such ease. Seems that Abnak was Jetstar distributed, their Bobby 'Mustang' Patterson even credited as composer here

- Manfred Mann: "Poison ivy" (Norw. HMV -66) Flip of flop 'You
gave me someone to love' , ms Ivy surely is the more rockin' of the two. Maybe outdated by 66, kinda 63 Eel Pie Island RnB? Still Paul Jones does hellofajob, bringing over Leiber/Stoller's funny coastal lyrics as well

- Johnny Hallyday: "Dis-moi oui" (Fr.Philips EP -62?) Really
Shadows' "We say yeah" from Cliff's 'Young ones' 61 film. Done with frog Elvis drone

- Fever Tree: "San Francisco girls" (US UNI -68) Editing away dull
intro&outro, we are left with prime cut Texas garagey psych.

- Baby Ray: "The house on soul hill" (US Imperial -67) Was trying
to sneak this in among dem' soulies 45s, when Son correctly pointed out artist as snowy white. Always a mod fave, one could score his LP for peanuts until recently in Norw. budget bins

- Terry Knight & Pack: "The train" (US Lucky Eleven -67) the Joe
Tex' topside was loathsome, but these rolling stock made our day

- Cliff Bennett & Rebel Rousers: "Slow down" (UK Parlophone -64)
Tighter&faster than Fab Four's or Larry William's OG. Burner

- Rick & Legends: "Love me like I know you can" (US United Artists
-66 promo) Rhetro doowhop'er Rick Palmer's group. Doubling in Brit
Invasion styles, obviously

- Easybeats: "Gonna have a good time" (US UA 80s reissue) Said to
have US-only release on UA 2109 May 67. Never saw such original ever, neither promo nor stock copy. Thus this re(?)issue of sunfall moddish gem.

- Kingsmen: "Annie Fanny" (US Wand -65) Frat rock, we're led to
believe

- Kinks: "Everybody is gonna be happy" (UK Pye -65 export issue)

- Shakers: "Everything's allright" (Sw.Platina -66) Liverpudlian
Mojos' 64 song, done somewhat RnB-deeper and not a hundred miles away from 'Pin Up' Bowie in 73.

Al Toussaint comp&prod., as he too did with Etta James' version. Lee's the faster of both Etta's and Tempts'.

- Armando Peraza: "Wild thing" (US Skye -68)
the Skip Taylor/Troggs tune, here even more cave'ishly vugalu'd.

- Ingram Family "The funk lies in our music" (US Excello -76) for
the drone of it

- Dyke+ Blazers: "Don't bug me" (US Original Sound -66)

- Precisions: "Don't double with trouble" (US Atco -69 promo)

- Fats Domino: "I'm in love again" (UK tri-centered London EP -56)

- Airto (Moreira): "Andei" (US Buddah -70 promo)

- Golden Stars: "Leba leba" (Neth.Antilles late 60s)

- Garry Davis+Vendors: "Rasha pt.2" (Bermuda Vendors -74)
They had at least one 7" out on US mainland. On 20th Cent. if mem'ry serves me well.

Playlist Hells Kitchen, Oslo jan 14th 2011 pt. I

F&S GO BEAT!

- Blue Tattoo: "Medicine man" (US Paramount -72 promo)
The Buchanan Bros. hit from 69, revv'd up with lotsa congas and (maybe not as cool) slide guitar.

- Turtles: "Buzz saw" (US White Whale -68)

- Standells: "Rari" (US Tower -66)
Singer warning for intimate relations with Ireland- or island girls?
As this LA group, not so convincingly, held Boston as home- most.
prob. about insular US East Coast femmes?

- Mercy: "Fire ball" (US Sundi -68 promo)
Flip of big seller 'Love can make you happy', this wheezing instro must be jig saw counterpart to Turtles' above. Tampa, Fla. group.

- Raspberries: "Tonight" (US Capitol -73)

- Raspberries: "Go all the way" (US Capitol -72)
Clevelanders Eric Carmen & Raspies' 2x150 sec's of RnR history. Hints of Immediate-Small Faces, Creation, Blossom Toes plus entire 'Brum catalogue, including Wizzard and ELO prior even to their very emergence.

- Hollies: "Hey Willy" (US Epic -72 promo) how come hev'vy by dem?

- Outsiders: "Lost in my world" (US Capitol -66)
Remake of these Clevelanders' "time won't let me", really.

- Everly Bros.: "When will I be loved" (Ger. Heliodor -60)
Fink last single on US Cadence,fall 59. Their Kentucky-born father was C&W artist on his own and sidekick of Ernest Tubb. Unusual chord progression here, reflecting boys' BG upbringing? Guess this German edition was spun to grinds by Paulie,Johnnie,Georgie,Pete and Stu backstage at Hamburger Bambi Kino autumn 1960.

- Donovan: "Goo goo barabajagal" (Can. Epic -68) Jeff Beck Trio

- Tremoloes: "Suddenly winter" (US Epic -69)
Lotsa backwards guitar. Fink song was recorded 67, accordingly.

- Terry Knight & Pack: "Numbers" (US Lucky Seven -66) fuzz box
galore

- Lulu: "The boat that I row" (UK Col. -67)

- Monkees: "Valleri" (US Colgems -68)
Demo version used in TV series early 67, then finished and released without band's knowledge 18 months later. Group was all the more too busy with their heady 'Head' album to care.

- Brian Hyland: "Run, run, look and see" (US Philips -66)

- Andy Williams: "Can't get used to losing you" (UK CBS -63)
Pomus/Shuman song, where punctating strings are underscoring the slightly threatening lyrics...

- Raw Meat: "Run for your life" (US Musicor -68)
Speaking of threats...I've earlier said this to be of Lennon's Battered Wife-songs. More than so, I'm afraid. Uptempo'd blue eyed funk, otherwise.
