You may have heard Cozy’s hit Topsy Part 2 amongst those Lux and Ivy’s Faves comps or on Teen Beat Volume 1. Can’t find the cover for this anywhere on the web but it’s a neat little collection
…and i really dont do jazz normally, well the music anyway.

These two wonderful collections take us even deeper into the havin’ it 60’s british underground.

Personally i dont go for that “british invasion” stuff, dont get me wrong, you cant dismiss the influence of those acts and they weren’t total shit like today’s counterparts. But their mass popularity was a result of the burgeoning marketing power of the entertainment industry and i guess that element of human nature that makes most of us ape each others behaviour.
Plus i doubt a music fan then would have heard all this rare and sometimes wonderful stuff, after all several were never released at all. Did those that were get any radio airplay, maybe on the pirate stations – no that was later wasn’t it? – someone who was there might know better
Quite likely theses acts weren’t pretty boys and were regarded too raw, punky and unfashionable to be marketable. As this was a decade before artists began releasing their own material all this could easily have been lost if not for the work of the compilers – hats off to them.

The Slits – Cut (1979)
i mean how punk were The Slits? They got spat on in the streets and like some modern day witches they would have had ‘em on the stake given half a chance.
Punk was supposed to be about not having to be a musician but most the best known acts of the genre The Clash, The Damned, The Pistols (before they got sid anyhow!) and to a lesser extent maybe, The Ramones and The Buzzcocks had some decent musicians.
Then in England for example you had the likes of Souixsie and The Banshees, The Fall and The Slits. The music these acts created was more original by virtue of the fact that they weren’t musicians. Sometimes the results were a shambles- it’s known Mark E. Smith doesn’t rate that early Fall stuff -but this is a timeless classic.
Don’t be put off by the rubbish they went on to do!

Alice Donut – Mule (1990)
I still remember the sheer joy of getting this home and playing the sacrilegious sex stomp of Mother Of Christ over and over again.
“I wanna feel like mary did when god plants his seed”
One the most exciting, open-minded and hilarious acts of the post-hardcore era. This album was the donut’s coming of age and probably their greatest moment musically and lyrically.

Pagans – Shit Street
As threatened i’m gonna continue to post some of the stuff that i obsessed over as a (very) young man. Well only that which i still rate now.
These guys were ahead of time in ‘76 (but i wasnt that ahead of my time i was only seven then!). They did a few classic singles, dont even think about messaging to tell that you’ve got all the originals. The only Pagans album wasnt made with original line up. This is latest retrospective comp of the best and just about everything else besides from the early years.

About as rough, ready and real blues as it gets. You must catch this guy in the flesh and you may not have that long, although the “taildragger” himself insists he will live to 110… here’s fuckin hopin’ so!
I know not the source of this but it isnt an official release of any type. Theres no cover art. The recording quality is excellent. mp3s are labelled selected tracks, so i presume it’s a bootleg of part of the concert given that night.
Here’s a musician proper deserving of your $$$’s and if you got ‘em buy every release, you will love them.

Worried Life Blues
Stuff on this comp surely mostly familiar to affecionados, but for those just beginning to get interested it’s presented here as an excellent introduction to early recorded blues that has been remastered to sound great with 21st century technology.
Here you will find many huge hits of their day (although there were no charts complied back then to prove it) and the originals of many standards of the genre.
The title track is Big Maceo Merriwether’s essential 1941 original, albeit a take on Sleepy John Estes earlier “Someday Baby” itself probably adapted from something that never made the recording studio. Such was the nature of the music, no sueing for copyright back then.
Sonny Boy Williamson even got away with stealing another artists name! This kicks off with the first Sonny Boy, the man credited as the originator of the blues harp, and his first and best known release 1937’s “Good Morning Little Schoolgirl”. Sonny Boy also appeared on Joe Williams’ Washboard Blues Singers 1935 single “Please Don’t Go”, a tune that was later to prove profitable for a certain Mr. morrison.
The distinctive voice of Lil Green would surely be much better known had she not tragically died at 34. Her 1941 version of Kansas Joe McCoy’s “Why Don’t You Do Right”is a total gem.
I could go on.

The sixties weren’t all about hippies, that’s just the take of the entertainment industry that survives on endlessly re-selling it’s “classic” albums to balding farts with coffee tables and cd collections to match.
Kids had to have something to dance to afterall.
About the best collection of that era from this side of the pond that i’ve ever caught proves there was more than that british invasion pop-rock bollocks going on over here.

And to conclude my mini selection of fave live recordings two of the band that made everything right, from back in their early days.
The lp with cover was an official bootleg… maybe? The other simply entitled “live NYC ‘78″ i dont know anything about, even where i got it! it’s rougher sound but an even mightier performance and very different selection of tunes- i guess their repertoire was massive.

Heard this recording for the first time recently and i couldnt possibly overstate the impression it made on me. Anyone with an interest in real blues must hear this, as must fans of the likes of Doo Rag and The Bassholes, it was also obviously a huge influence on Captain Beefheart.
By the time this was recorded the blues was a mainstream music and largely sterilised, thankfully someone saw fit to capture the rawness of these two unknown vagrant street musicians.
The story goes that Eddie Jones approached folklorist Frederick Usher on LA’s Skid Row in 1960 carrying a plank with a broom wire stretched along it, and a tin can on one end. Jones played his “diddley bow” by sliding a bottle along the wire with his left hand, and striking the wire with a stick held in the right.
The effect is mesmerising.

If you dont know this yer in for a treat.
Barry White (no not that…) was a disillusioned ex-frontman when Peter Greenberg formerly of garage punkers The Lyres heard him singing along in a Boston record store.
Thankfully he persuaded White to return to performing and assembled a kick-ass backing band. White, who possesses a voice like a veritable Screaming Jay or Esquerita, took on a new name and Barrence Whitfield and The Savages was born.

Another gem brought to the world by the Fortune label was Mr. Mayer. In 1962 at the age of eighteen he sang “Village Of Love” a glorious blend of doo-wop, rock ‘n roll, raw soul and sexual frustration.
That minor hit was just about it for his career and it is the highpoint of this collection of his two 60’s LP’s. But a great vocalist very little remembered in his passing last year (unlike some other talentless twit i could mention).

Lovely selection of this genre all spanning from 1928 to 1935. They’ve opted for keeping the crackles, hiss and the like which makes the recordings sound much more alive i think than many other comps of the era… although any of you who have never owned any battered old records may feel otherwise about this.

Hank Ray – Countricide (2000)
The nights are drawing in and it’s time for something dark. This was the second from the self styled originator of “death country” and unlike the “mainstream” first album this one offered not a second of light relief. Forget anything bleak you’ve ever heard before, it will probably be jolly in comparison to this, get ready for a crushing slow relentless grinding dragging down into a spitting mire of hatred and despair.
The humour is so dark it’s almost imperceptible except when youre really in that mood, and then it might just be the sort of thing that cheers you up… well it works for me.

The Cramps. What can i say? No one has had more influence on my musical tastes than these fuckers. Even though i could never be coool like them, i’d look a complete dick in sunglasses after dark!
This is a total must-hear for any Cramps fanatics. A bit of a rarity (or two), track listings and order and some names vary but both records are unofficial releases that collect the same storming bunch of demos recorded in ‘79. (this being the “All Tore Up” version.) The performances are raw and high energy and really catches them at their very best, and the recording quality is good.

Shockabilly made the kind of music that never provokes indifferent reactions, either hate it, or like me fuckin love it, but you got to admit it aint relying on convention. Frontman Eugene Chadbourne’s frenetic style mixes blues and jazz, through rock n roll, psychedelia, punk and noise. The three peice being completed with one incredible drummer in David Licht, while Kramer adds bass and organ plus taped sounds (as they would have been then) he would later use to great effect with Bongwater.
The end result is highly energetic, psychedelic and ireverant. They had a taste for covering, or should that be mutilating, sixties rock standards, hendrix, the beatles, the doors the byrds and wierdest of all lennon’s oh yoko, all get the treatment here. Their own material could be very funny, surreal and even sometimes poignant.
This is the 1989 Shimmy Disc reissue of the first two full length records “Earth vs. Shockabilly” and “Colloseum”.

Outsiders by right of being aussies in the ‘77 London they came to in order to “make it” and heralded as they were by the english music press whilst being pushed by their label to ape the dress code of other groups, i guess The Saints were ideally placed to see through the bullshit of all that.
And maybe it conspired to make this their second album, a move from focusing on songs just about girls ‘n stuff to a biting criticism of the scene they found themselves lumped in with…
and whatever bullshit, this high octane R&B masterpiece still sounds fresh and relevant today. Angry, intelligent, with a ballsy brass section and a feel for a bloody great tune.
Unfortunately the real Saints imploded after one more LP although founder member Chris Bailey continued to use the name that later stuff really bares no relation.

Back in them days i used to have a taste only for the hard and heavy in music and Touch & Go Records were one of my most loved labels. i’ve broadened my horizons and Detroit’s Laughing Hyenas have gone their way destined to be mostly unknown, but this punk-blues screamfest is one i’ve come back to again and again over the years. John Brannon’s incredible gutteral vocals convey abject desperation. and have to be heard…. Or for those of us who like howling along.

Workdogs – Roberta (1988)
Deserve to be gods.
Like The Gibson Bros these guys were masters at distilling the escence of story telling blues into a music relevant to it’s time. That they could open the thing with a 16 minute tune and more than get away with it.. it definately aint prog rock… Rob K’s words and delivery full of gritty wit and slack cool like the result of some mad scientist crossing Lightnin’ Hopkins, Johnny Thunders, Lou Reed and Leadbelly. Nice use of a sax. Words dont do it justice.

Sure this Oregon two piece do the blues lo-fi stylee, with slide guitar, buckets for drums, harmonica, traditional and at the same time new, ’bout, booze, bad women, trains and landlords the sorta thing we all understand. A music you can tell would come into it’s own live with a few pints of beer.
Nonetheless the recordings are great too, this one being the first, there are two more available now. If ya like it buy ‘em cos this is exactly the kinda act that could do with the coins, and doubt they’d be soft enough to waste ‘em on a fancy drum kit either.

Something a little different. i’ve been rightly accused of preferring american music (as if it means i like the us government, war and walmart or something) and ok these guys reference the Cramps with the record title, obviously they’ve heard all that shit, but the music is more old time european than american.

Where the real blues is, Cedell has unique dissonant slide guitar style and a voice like a weary old tree.
Born in 1927 and despite a crippling childhood dose of polio he continued to play the guitar learning to play left handed using the back of a knife. Went on to perform with the likes of Dr. Issiah Ross and Robert Nighthawk. In his 70’s finally given the opportunity to record his music by them visionaries Fat Possum Records.

“do the big nasty”
Originally Mr Rhythm in the 50’s & 60’s, if you know Bacon Fat, Jail Bait, The Greasy Chicken et. al. After a little while off music for alcohol and crack addiction n’stuff he reaffirmed his crown as the King Of Sleaze with this filthy trash record extra polluted by the superb Gories as backing band.

On one of my favourite named record companies ever, Twisted Village, i really know nothing ’bout this group. i remember it being a great record shop impulse buy, picked up in part due to the nice home made looking cover and names of songs like “It’s Raining Alphabet Soup and Spelling Insults At My Feet”. It sounds lo-fi with lots of fuzzy guitars, mostly slow and harmonic. If you like early Grifters, Polvo or Flying Saucer Attack you’d probably appreciate it.

The Leaving Trains – Fuck (1987)
Another soundtrack to my misspent youth with it’s cynical wasted loser bad attitude… mmm not that much has changed… this aint for sober bores or punk purists. i was never taken by any of this lot’s other albums in their entirity, but this is a perennial fave here at fuckwit towers. Tell how good i think it is, when I was reduced to one box of records i grabbed this one even though it was a regular in record shop bargain bins back in the day.

Okay this isn’t the album cover but i love this picture of theirs and it kind of sums them up better. This awesome debut album is a dark, heavy and distorted take on american folk music. Despite the source It sounds very of now and far from traditional.
i guess they will be lumped in with that gothic/alt. country genre but most of that stuff is a lot more tame than this.

“There are several million extras in the black and white B-movie called Mondo Manhattan, lifestyles of the hungry and the homeless dying within plate glass inches of the semi-rich eating in the trendy restaurants…”
The stupidly brilliant and out of print soundtrack to the movie that’s never been finished (probably) although the enigma lives on through a trailer that appeared recently on youknowhere.

Puerile genius. The King Missile frontman’s monologues on this record are the funniest stuff he ever did, and the musical maestro behind Bongwater produces sound back drops.

Black humourous music a fuckwit loves.
This was their second self released album and bears only a scant resemblence to the more purely heavy rock stuff they did once they signed to a major label. This is a lot more varied veering into the kind of territory explored by The Thinking Fellers Union Local 282.

One of the most evocative, melancholy but also joyful blues recordings i have ever heard. Fred McDowell insisted on getting old friend Johnny Woods to accompany him even though they hadn’t played together for 8 years.
“No practice was necessary; there were no second takes. They sat facing each other while Fred gave Johnny instructions under his breath. The veins in Fred’s face bulged as he sang and played, and the spit dropped from Johnny’s harmonica which might as well have been a natural extension of his mouth.”

As it is.
Is it gothic country music? is it death country? or even country at all for that matter? Or is it hellbilly, whatever the fuck that is now? Or gospel music for unbelievers etc. etc. The keyboard-bashers must have their nice convenient little genres, musicians like these guys break out of ‘em thankfully.

My teenage obsession with Joy Division transferred onto The Birthday Party. And doesn’t this still sound fucking out there after a quarter of a century?!
I’m almost ashamed to admit when i got these two records out to check the original date it was the first time they’d been touched for over a year even though i know vinyl sounds so much better.
The two EPs that were their peak and their swansong are collected here together in the Buddah reissue cd with two extra tracks.

This is quite different to the kind of stuff i normally post here, it’s basically a melodic rock band. What made them special was the bewitching quality of the songwriting and singing, particularly Judy Grunwald’s beautiful deep voice, and the interplay and rich tone of the guitars.
A record i obsessed over, perhaps unheathily, 20 years ago but had fallen off my radar and was re-introduced to me by the excellent “…feeling kinda froggy…” blog, which covers out of print stuff from the 80’s & 90’s.
Here is a link to the original post
You can find all 4 of their albums here. Although this one for me was the real stand out, I also recommend very highly the exclusive track available, “Red Barn” from the “Human Music” compilation.

Doctorfuckwit Rides The Train
earlier this year i made a little train mix and days later i was listening to a Bo Diddley record and wham bam! the first of many great train songs i’d missed hit me. so as the time’s gone by i’ve kept my ear to the ground to listen for incoming trains and i’ve caught so many great ones that a rockin’ new comp was well overdue.
it’s a ride through american musical history largely from the rock n roll era, stuff that could loosely be defined as rockabilly, topped off with some blues, some R&B, a smattering of pre-war stuff and some very odd hillbillies (the yodeling on Jackie Powers’ New River Train is totally derailed)
01. Bo Diddley – Down Home Train 02. Jackie Powers – New River Train 03 . Rudy Thacker & The Stringbusters – Black Train 04. Gin Gillette – Train To Satanville 05. Rod Morris – The Ghost Of Casey Jones 06. Wayne Newman – Midnight Train 07. Bob Riley – The Midnight Train 08. Unscheduled Stop 09. Conway Twitty – Long Black Train 10. Art Law – Big Train 11. Virgil Holmes – Ghost Train 12. Frank Hutchison – Hell Bound Train 13. Betty McQuade – Blue Train 14. Doc Starks & The Night Riders – Vacation Train 15. Frankie Lowery – Kansas City Train 16. Franckie Stewart – That Long Black Train 17. Strangers On A Train 18. Christine Kittrell – L&N Special 19. Lightnin Hopkins – Freight Train 20. Eddie Carter – Railroad Stomp 21. Elton Anderson & The Sid Lawrence Band – Catch That Train 22. Leon James – Ride that train 23. The Flintales – D-Rail 24. Buck Griffin – Watchin’ The 7.10 Roll By 25. The Bredley Boys – Evil Train 26. Miller Brothers – Loco Choo Choo 27. Little Milton – Rode That Train 28. Lee Martin – There Goes That Train
NB
after sampling several mostly tedious train themed releases i came across the great Hobo Bop album released on the Buffalo Bop label and this included several cuts that i’d assembled from my extensive research into the subject… it almost made me stop in my tracks

From the sublime to the ridiculous this is a life changing record.
If you’ve never heard Psycho by Eddie Noack, Moses Longpiece doin’ Slide Her Under The Door or The Ho Ho Laughing Monster, can you truly said to have lived?
Interspersed as it was with trailers and bits of movie soundtracks this started a whole new genre of compilations, radio shows and now podcasts… oh and of course i, not being one to fail to copy a good idea.

Ok The Fuzztones are a decent band don’t get me wrong. Maybe where they let themselves down was when you heard the originals of what they were doing. But fair dues they’re genuine fans of it and they laid out them originals for all their listeners to hear on this double album.
Was my introduction to 60’s garage punk, i’ve been hooked ever since and this remains one of the best ever collections of the stuff, lacking the usual mediocre filler. Albeit by now this will all be well known for that genre’s connoisseurs… otherwise…
Oh yeah, this is the cd with a few extra tracks.

This picture seems to prove that the bone didn’t actually go through his nose.
A nice double cd, the best retrospective of the godfather of schlock rock that i’ve caught, has all the classics including the infamous Feast Of The Mau Mau and Constipation Blues …”nobody’s been out and recorded a song about real pain”
Besides the numbers that play into the shtick there’s also many other treasures in this repertoire.

The third and final album proper was released after the band had already disintegrated. A couple of numbers are frequently featured on the many compilations available but i’ve chosen this partly because a lot of good fans dont know it and partly ‘cos, notwithstanding the ground breaking brilliance of the first two, it’s a bloody good LP in it’s own right.
The myth that the Elevators have become so often centres around one character, Roky, who didn’t play much of a part in the making of this record. Most of it was written by guitarist Stacy Sutherland and the approach is basically blues. Not surprisingly considering what had become of the members of the group by then, there are no songs promoting the use of psychedelic drugs to expand consciousness, and there’s no trademark jug either. All of which probably explains why it is often overlooked.
This is the sound of the comedown off the “rollercoaster”.
At this point let me recommend a newish book, it’s called “Eye Mind – The Saga of Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators the Pioneers of the Psychedelic Sound”, written by Paul Drummond and was published in 2007. I dont normally indulge in rock biographies but this is a very revealing read for any Elevators fan. It’s ultimately a pretty sad story.

More than just one of the last great country blues men. Like Mississippi Fred McDowell, with whom he on occasion performed, Williams had his own unique and expressive approach to the guitar.
As lot of folks i guess, i first encountered him through the cover of Grown So Ugly by Captain Beefheart on Safe As Milk. The original features on this recording, made 2 years after his release from prison.

We must once again thank those mightily clever people at Norton Records for this not-to-be-missed collection of probably just about everything recorded by this kooky genius and cult hero.

Incredible.
There’s some strange things going on in Denver Colorado and Munly, erstwhile member of Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, is the oddest of all. This, his fourth solo album saw the potency of voice and song writing reach a new level.
It’s not the kind of thing you stick on at parties, it’s something that rewards actually listening to, immersing yourself in. A dark poetry of violence and sexuality that makes Nick Cave’s more recent offerings sound like nursery rhymes.

Definitely a love ‘em or hate ‘em kinda band.
This lot consciously aimed to come up with an original approach to guitar/ drums/ vocals. While to many i guess it sounds impenetrably odd, to me it is that rare combination of avant-garde and listenable even when not too stoned to move.
This was their debut and creative peak but certainly subsequent releases are well worth checking out, and you can find them all here on the Young Moss Tongue blog along with much other weird and wonderful stuff.

The seminal album by these should-be-legends is almost lost to obscurity. Some of the songs are on comps for sure while others were re-recorded for the not so brilliant, but more widely available Weird Love album, but this is the real fuckin deal. And you get the brilliant Backwards Man single tagged on too, whether you deserve it or not.
If you like The Cramps, The Gun Club, Suicide, The Stooges, Mudhoney, The Mono Men and The Chrome Cranks you need to know this.

Faust IV (1973)
Oh how easily words like influential, original and such bollocks can be spouted, and then there’s a few things deserving of such monikers…
Stands the test of time even without bearing in mind that the contemporary “rock” music was generally such wanky drivel.
This record saw the abstract sound collages they had hitherto specialised in coalesced into, dare i say beautiful, tunes. Beginning with the ironically named 11 minute instrumental Krautrock which gave it’s name to the genre of those groups including Can, Kratfwerk and Neu.
The current manifestation of Faust is a lot more noisy, still brilliant and original… an absolute must to catch live.

One of the bestest primitive rock n roll compilations you is ever likely to get your ears on.
Had no idea that this stuff would take over my world when i got this as a young man, i’d heard The Sonics, The Cramps, The Milkshakes and The Gun Club but hadn’t got it yet.
On top of them it was an introduction to such essential acts as Hasil Adkins and Tav Falco and 60’s garage punk-trash classics The Trashmen’s “Surfin’ Bird” and “Crusher” by The Novas… although it took me a while to get the particular brilliance of The Legendary Stardust Cowboy…i’m hooked to this day.
This is the cd reissue thing, but at least you get some very worthwhile extra tracks “Scream” by Ralph Nelson & The Chancellors and “Love Me” by The Phantom.

At times heavy and sombre, at times humourous and countryish this lot were underrated and largely overlooked in their time. Specially on this release they were heads and shoulders above most of (for want of a better description i shall reluctantly call) their post punk indie-rock peers.

A ridiculous piss take of horror and beatniks. Not exactly funny, more cringe worthy, but was appreciated by The Cramps, covered by The Fall and in the track “The Beat Generation” provided inspiration for Richard Hell’s iconoclastic debut.

Forget the the shit that is called rhythm & blues today. This stuff was generally the most raucous , sexy and simply havin’-it music of the day, and any day. The few black artists that were deemed acceptable for white audiences to be exposed to back then were sure a lot more tame than this.

Timeless.
Often cited as the pioneers of garage rock and of the Northwest sound exemplified by The Kingsmen and The Sonics. (Here’s hopin’ you all need no tellin’ this aint the reggae guy’s backing band.)
They had started out first, but i reckon it’s fair to point out that the earlier Wailers sound, some of which is showcased here, was a largely placid and instrumental affair, later they mastered a vocalised garage rocker style more akin to their peers.

Definitive compilation on Ace of 50’s recordings of the “The Be-Bop Boy”. One man blues band, disc jockey and Sun Records recording artist who would certainly be a lot more well known and respected today if not for his untimely death aged 35.

How much of the greatest music never gets any attention at all?
Norton did it again when they uncovered this majestic lost classic, there were just 100 copies made of the original record back in 1968. And it sounds like…everything and nothing of it’s time and not of it’s time… to me better than anything hendrix, the doors, the stones etc ever did.

Ty Segall – Self-titled (2008)
This one man band comes highly recomended to all fans of raw trashy garage-junk.

The critics invariably fail to mention his rudimentary guitar playing, but i reckon that’s the way he wanted it to be. Musicians often dont have such great taste they just wanna show off how many notes they can play and thus you end up with the reverence for souless shitheads like clapton.
As a hater of wanky guitar solos who’d cut their teeth on punk i guess it aint surprising this was the first blues artist to bend my ear.
Mister Otis Hicks here played the basic country blues, the only difference being his guitar was electric, with harp accompaniment from Lazy Lester and a drummer, no pianos, horns or backing singers etc. What makes it special is it’s crudeness, it sounds like the fucker really had the blues… as it should.

The Wipers- Is This Real? (1979)
The debut album now touted as a “lost” punk classic, although The Wipers didn’t actually regard themselves as punk. But whatever, it is awesome and they certainly weren’t prog, metal or new wave (despite the godawful album cover!)
And they definitely were a massive influence on a one Mr. Cobain.

Visceral jumpin’ blues at it’s best… fuckin’ smokes.
Okay i’m gonna stick my neck out and say this is my favourite of all Fat Possum’s amazing catalogue of records. Yes I adore R.L. Burnside and T-Model Ford especially, but after a slow start this becomes a rougher more distorted and live sounding recording than any of their releases.

Another ultimate blues act fronted by uber-harpist Walter Daniels (Jack ‘O Fire, South Filthy etc.)- that guy deserves some serious recognition.

You could never accuse these utter loons of sounding like anyone else even when it’s a whole album of covers. This second album was a concept i suppose, a deconstruction of 60’s rock n roll.
Maybe you’ll more likely get it if like me you’re a lover of the originals like “Double Shot Of My Baby’s Love”, “96 Tears”, “Psychotic Reaction”, “Pushing Too Hard”..the bit when it goes into “Yummy Yummy Yummy” is particularly out there.

The Mike Gunn – Almaron (1993)
This lovely double album is surely one of my best ever impulse buys of something i’d never heard of.
i didn’t even bother givin’ it a listen before partin’ with me ill-earned pennies probably ‘cos the local independent record shop had stuck a recommendation sticker on it (and i knew how much them guys were into heavy psychedelic shit) mentioning the Butthole Surfers. And if you like their early outpourings and Paul Leary’s guitar work on ‘em in particular, well i’d be fuckin’ damned if you won’t love this.
Crank it up, sorry the sound of this rip just can’t quite do justice to the vinyl LP.

Can’t say i’ve ever have the pleasure of seein’ the movie- i’m sure the plot was deeply poignant. Nice instrumental r&r soundtrack with lady monologues might be particularly appreciated by freaks like me what like to make mixes/ d.j. etc, besides it’s bound to increase hits on the site.
One track alone, namely “Underwater Sports” is unmissable.

Dean Carter – Call Of The Wild
Retrospective on Ace of an awesome rock n roll maverick. Maybe you’re familiar with his unhinged version of Jailhouse Rock. Despite appearances stuff was mostly recorded in the late 60’s and combines rockabilly and contemporary garage rock styles.

When these two legendary punk blues acts got together to make a record.
i know i’m breaking the “rules” (again!) i dont own it, these are files got off of one of them p2p things a while back, and it’s missing the last 2 tracks… but fuck it, this is hard to get and essential shit.

i read “Louie, Louie” is the most covered song of all time. i’m ashamed to admit i long thought the original was the famous 1963 version by The Kingsmen.
Here’s the real calypso-tinged original from 1957 and a load of other neat cuts to boot.
(This is the last post related to the songs The Fall covered thing that’s had more traffic on this site than anything else by far.)

Suicide (1977)
Sometimes the word classic is an understatement.
Don’t get me wrong i love a lot of late 70’s punk, but these guys exposed those acts and especially those audiences to be conservative at best, and at worst great pussies.
This was the coming of the Anti-elvis himself. Johnny Teardrop remains one of the most genuinely disturbing pieces of music ever.
Solely what is now a super primitive keyboard for instrumentation, but the rock n roll influence was apparent in more than just Alan Vega’s hair style… from Doo Wop to The Stooges it’s all there, and who hasn’t been influenced by this take on it?

John Barry – Beat Girl (1959)
Crap cockney pop-rocker adam faith landed the male lead in this dire movie in which he hilariously pretends to play guitar. The quality of acting can be observed by checking out the still on the cover here.
It was livened up only by Faith’s connections with Barry who was got in to write the score, it sounds like he just used a totally incongruous theme left over from all the spy movies he penned for.
Lovely poster below in classic style promises a lot more excitement than the film could ever deliver!

Although not up there with The Seeds or The Elevators definately one of the more consistent performers of the psychedelic era. This comp covers just about all you need to know, unless of course you actually want to hear their take on religious music!

The social mores of the day forbade mainstream studios from producing anything that could be regarded as even vaguely obscene. This territory was left to independents who created a slew of schlock trash that shamelessly exploited their audiences fears and desires.
Apparently a lot of these trailers were made before the films themselves, which were often completed in less than a week.

Debut for me is the one worth knowing but only for the tracks created by the real group and vocalist. It also has a bunch of bollocks fucked about with by an idiot egomaniac producer as was common in that day. You can look that up if you care.

Music that was banned by bbc radio decades before rock n roll was even dreamed of. Of course it’s childishly tame stuff by today’s standards, double entendres and the like.
Highlight for me is Sophie Tucker’s raunchy “He Hadn’t Up ‘Til Yesterday”. “I’ve Gone and Lost My Little Yo-Yo” by Billy Cotton an his Band could have been the inspiration for King Missile’s “Detachable Penis”.
There’s lots of other blokes playing with their little instruments too.
