Playlist Mono Mainroom may 20th 2011

- Los Bravos: "I don't care" (UK Decca -66)
iberian-kraut singer Volker Kogel is runner up as Gene 'shriek' Pitney- soundalike. mr.Pitney accused group of releasing HIS 'Black is black' during UK summer tour-66!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7-DJMB1S8g

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr0pPpx894w


- Gene Pitney: "She's a heartbreaker" (US Musicor -68) Inez Foxx' brudda was Soul Hand behind Pitney's stompers.Here even heavier RnB production w/ Teacho Wiltshire and Jerry Williams plus Charlie F. Pitney's and Swamp Dogg's singing are def. NOT a hundred miles apart.
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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRcss2VgpAg


- Marketts: "Out of limits" (US WB -64) Don't think of these as real (surf) group, rather as usual LA studio suspects? Also did 'Batman Theme' which surf absorbed NW Londoner Keith Moon begged onto Who's RSG EP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_V3TX4dfdU

- Rocco Granata: "Pupetta" (Sw. Sonet -63) Strange duck, this. US 63 production, done closely over massive 59 'Marina' hit of this here italo-belgian jaz accordionist. Vespa music, if there ever were. Cannot find 'Pupetta' video, 60s 'Marina' must do.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wXiJgCRH4Y

- Fireballs: "Groovy motions" (US Atco-67) TX/NM group,Buddy Holly/Norman Petty-related way back from 59. Here with their appropriate psych try-out.

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

- Jean Knight "Love" (US Tribe -67?) Osborne says impossible -74. Must be prior to Quezerge-69

- Frankie Newsome "My lucky day" pt.s 1+2 (US GWP -69) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I3EMkxnh98

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.
