Gary Brooker - 1979 - No More Fear Of Flying

This album is specially dedicated to my friend Fernando "El Negro", in the day of his personal name ...... (Urquía... also for you.. Congratulations !!).
"In 1979, two years after Procol Harum disbanded (until their reunion in 1991), singer/songwriter/pianist Gary Brooker released his first solo album, "No More Fear Of Flying." In short, if you love Procol Harum, then you'll love Gary solo, too. "No More Fear Of Flying" is an excellent album of top-notch, Harum-flavored piano pop/rock, spearheaded by Brooker's powerful voice and masterful playing on the keys. Great songs include the title track, the lovely "Say It Ain't So Joe" (written by Murray Head) and "Angelina," the catchy "Give Me Something To Remember You By" and "Get Up And Dance." There's also two bonus tracks to enjoy: the rare Brooker B-side "S.S. Blues" and the previously-unreleased fun of "Fat Cats." Gary Brooker's "No More Fear Of Flying" is a great disc."

Action Now - 1984 - All Your Dreams... And More

Before she unleased The Pandoras on an unsuspecting world, Paula Pierce was the lead guitarist/singer/ songwriter in Action Now, a garage power pop band hailing from Southern California's San Gabriel Valley.
Using the original master tapes, thought lost for almost 20 years, the French-only "All Your Dreams" album has been mastered for CD for the first time by remastering genius Bill Inglot, who also originally produced seven of the studio tracks.
Completing the story is "Try" from "Rodney On The ROQ, Vol. III" and a complete Action Now live show, mastered from the original two-track tape, rediscovered after 22 years.
This CD contains the original version of "Stop Pretending ," the title song from The Pandoras' Rhino Records LP along with a live version of "Anyone
But You," later recorded for that same 1986 Pandoras LP. In all, this collection features 26 songs never before on CD, 25 songs never released in the United States and five previously unreleased Paula Pierce-penned tunes.
Playing alongside Paula and making the Action Now sound happen were Jim Schuster (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Mike Lawrence (bass, vocals) and Scott
Hillman (drums).

Tracks:

All your dreams / Then and now / I want you / This one chance / So much on my mind / When wednesday comes / Stop pretending / I'm not trying to hurt you / See If you can / Every word I say / Taking care / You say / Try / I can't get over you (live) / Stop pretending (live) / Every word I say (live) / I'm not trying to hurt you (live) / Trust in each other (live) / Betrayed (live) / See if you can (live) / Try (live) / Anyone but you (live) / For just one night (live) / Looking for a reason (live) / In our home (live) / Never to be forgotten (live) / Then and now (live)

Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - 1984 - Rattlesnakes

Cole cites Bob Dylan and Booker T. & the MGs as major influences, but also notes the impact of his studies in English and philosophy on both the album's title, a reference to the novel Play It As It Lays by Joan Didion, and its lyrics, which also reference Renata Adler, Simone de Beauvoir and Norman Mailer.

Any Trouble - 1980 - Where Are All the Nice Girls?

Two years have passed since my first post. Over 865,000 hits and an infinity of comments.
Good and bad moments.
I have to give the thanks to all those who have helped me to build this small music site.
Thank you very much to Paul, Patrick, Davester, Bluecartoon, Geekroick, Popcat, Rush2112, Josega65, Tomy, Chang1112, D. Moose and to all those that have supported me and those with their comments have given me forces to continue.
To celebrate it, this 5 stars album with other of my all times favourite song: Yesterday's Love.
Manchester-native Gregson formed the original band in 1975 while attending teaching school in Crewe, taking the group's name from a misquote from the Mel Brooks film Blazing Saddles. After a brief moment as a folky trio with singer Tom Jackson, by 1976 Any Trouble changed to a four-piece rock group, speeding up their repertoire in response to the punk movement -- by this point the lineup was Gregson (vocals/guitar), Chris Parks (guitar), Phil Barnes (bass), and Mel Harley (drums). They built a strong following playing the pub circuit and released their own single, catching the attention of Radio One's John Peel, who quickly took the band and played the song on his show. This exposure started a small-scale bidding war from several labels. By 1980, the group signed with Stiff Records.
John Wood , a renowned producer (Nick Drake, John Martyn, Richard Thompson) who had recently produced Squeeze, was hired to produce Any Trouble's first album. Where Are All the Nice Girls? which had all the makings of a new wave classic, was met with some rave reviews but failed to rack up the big sales that were expected of it. After the record failed commercially, Stiff suggested that Gregson drop the band and redefine himself as a solo artist a la Elvis Costello - Buddy Gregson. Gregson declined, deciding instead to replace the band's drummer Harley, with the more capable Martin Hughes . They began work on the follow-up immediately.

Jack Tempchin - 1978 - Selftitled

"Recorded after the collapse of The Funky Kings, 1978's cleverly-titled "Jack Tempchin" may be the best Eagles album the band never recorded. Produced by Pete Carr (who nailed Don Felder's unique guitar sound on several tracks) and recorded at Muscle Shoals' Fame Studios, Tempchin had a surprisingly attractive voice and a knack for penning catchy country-rock material.
Your life won't be changed by any of this, but if you like early-career Eagles then you'll probably enjoy tracks such as 'Stingaree', 'She Belonged To Me' and 'Fifteen Days Under the Hood'. Other highlights included Tempchin's collaboration with Tom Waits 'Tijuana' and 'Pick Up Truck' (The Eagles should have covered this one as well). Elsewhere the biggest disappointment is Tempchin's version of 'Peaceful Easy Feeling'. Slowing it down to a dirge with Jennifer Warren's providing harmony vocals is simply the wrong thing to do to this country-rock classic."

Sergio Makaroff - 1980 - Tengo Una Idea

Our man was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on December 7, 1951. At the age of 10 years discovered simultaneously the pop music, the mode and the girls. He bought then his first album, an EP of Chubby Checker, the king of the twist. In 1962, when the Beatles appeared, Sergio already was an assiduous client of the record shop of his neighborhood. Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kinks, etc., they changed his life forever.
At the age of 17, already immersed in the culture of the rock, he composed his first song: "Peter Pan", then he formed with her brother Eduardo the acoustic duo "Los Hermanos Makaroff".
The first shows of them were like supporters of Sui Generis, the Charly García band, of whom Sergio had turned into assistant. Later they recorded, with Charly and the major page of the Argentine rockers, the legendary "El Rock del Ascensor".
In 1978 Sergio decided to emigrate to Spain, where his friends Ariel Rot and Alejo Stivel had formed Tequila and they were triumphing for everything high. In the digest of the mythical group there were "El Rock del Ascensor" and other tweo songss composed by Sergio. Across these Spanish contacts it obtained a contract with Epic and recorded his first solo album, "Tengo Una Idea ". It happened from Madrid to Barcelona at the end of ' 78 and there it continues up to today. His first group of accompaniment was the core of those who then would be Los Rápidos, Los Burros y El Último De La Fila. Manolo García was his drummer.
Take a look at the guitars in "Explorador Celeste".....Knopfler influences ???... Probably the best song of him.

Tracks:

El Hijo De Sam / Soy Muy Duro / Nena, ¿Dónde Estás? / Enamorado De Ti / Ausente / Muy Bien / Explorador Celeste / Nadie Como Tú / Ellaa Dijo Hola / Tira Parriba / Ibiza (Bonus track)

Pistones - 1982 - Las 7 Menos Cuarto (12'' EP)

Turning in to the discography of my dear country, today I bring to you and authentic jewel of the New Wave from Spain.
When I was 22, "Los Pistones" published an anthem for the Madrid New Wavers: "Las 7 menos cuarto" (in english "A quarter to 7 pm") is a complete song. The story passes in "La Puerta del Sol", the center of Madrid and the center of Spain. A boy is waiting for a girl, but she never goes to the date. Like every evenings, he's waitng and finally goes to take a drink because she doesn't call him. He's depressed and plains a revenge, but he can't do anything, only listen music and as everyday wait for her, but always she forgot to call him... day by day,... always the same, waiting, another drink.. music...
I feel over 30 years younger listen it.
With other three good songs, specially "Te brillan Los Ojos", this is a cult EP from Spain.

Enjoy it!

Tracks:

Las 7 Menos Cuarto / No Estas De Suerte / Te Brillan Los Ojos / El Artefacto

DMZ - 1978 - Selftitled

DMZ was the pre-Lyres band, with Jeff Conolly and Peter Greenberg.
This album got a bad rep when it was released and still continues to this day to be a bit frowned upon. Sure, the songs are good but the production ruins it people claim. To be honest, this is much better than its reputed to be. Sure, theres nothing here on the level of what Monoman would do later on with The Lyres, but the songs themselves absolutely rip and the production by Flo and Eddie adds a loud and stomping thud that I feel entirely complements the music. The pair of Northwest covers "Cinderella" (originally by The Sonics) and "Out of Our Tree" (The Wailers) are almost just as good as the originals, and despite the album petering out a bit towards the end, its still a pretty fantastic release. This was one of the cornerstones of the Boston underground scene at the time, and really paved the way for much of the 80s garage rock revival.

Personnel:

Mono Mann (aka Jeff Conolly) - vocals, Vox Continental organ / Peter Greenberg - guitars / J.J.Rassler - guitars / Rick Corraccio - bass / Paul Murphy - drums

Tracks:

Mighty Idy / Bad Attitude / Watch for Me Girl / Cinderella (orig. recorded by The Sonics) / Don't Jump Me Mother / Destroyer / Baby Boom / Out of Our Tree (orig. recorded by The Wailers) / Border Line / Do Not Enter / From Home (orig. recorded by The Troggs)

Elliott Murphy: Aquashow (1973) + Lost Generation (1975)

After stars like Paul Collins, John Eddie, Ian Matthews or Nick Gilder, in my blog couldn't lack one of the greatest Singer-Songwriters of all times. As brilliant as profilic Elliott Murphy is a living history of the rock.

Paul Collins' Beat - 1981 - The Kids Are The Same

A much tougher sound than the self titled album, The Kids Are The Same is good follow up. With should have been hits such as That's What Life's All about or I will Say No, this album is one of the great lost classics of the 80s.
However, CBS did release On The Highway and it didn't chart. Had they decided to make That's What Life's All About a single, perhaps things would have been better for Paul Collins and company. Nevertheless, CBS then sat on the rest of the album, and then bounced The Beat off the roster. [By R. Smith "rscrabb" (Viola, Iowa USA) at amazon]

Paul Collins - Vocals, Guitar, Rhythm Guitar / Larry Whitman - Guitar, Vocals, Percussion / Michael Ruiz - Percussion, Drums / Prairie Prince - Drums / Steve Huff - Bass, Vocals

The Beat - 1979 - Selftitled

To celebrate the 444 albums, the original cd version (out of print) of one of the all times Top Ten albums of the Power Pop.
Collins was able to ink a deal with Columbia/CBS and Bill Graham Management. CBS released their self-titled debut in October 1979. All 12 songs were Collins originals; Steven Huff, Peter Case, and Eddie Money had one co-writing credit each, all on different songs. Continuing in The Nerves' vein, the album consisted of harmony-laden, driving guitar pop songs, including a re-recorded version of "Working Too Hard". The album was critically acclaimed and is today remembered as a classic of the power pop genre (see this 4.5-star review in Allmusic). The group appeared on Dick Clark's American Bandstand on March 8, 1980 and that same year contributed a song to the soundtrack LP of the massively popular movie Caddyshack. Despite this promotion, diligent touring alongside such popular artists as Ian Gomm and The Jam and a tour of Europe, The Beat found little commercial success. The British ska group of the same name were first to establish themselves as "The Beat" in Europe forcing Collins' "Beat" to be referred to as "Paul Collins' Beat" there. The Collins' "Beat" was first to release their album in their home territory in turn forcing the British group to use the name "The English Beat" in the U.S.

V.A. - 1993 - DIY: Mass. Ave. - The Boston Scene (1975-83)

"Although I first heard Robin Lane's "When Things Go Wrong" in Indiana of all places, I really became a fan of a number Boston punk/new wave bands when I was living in California. Our local college station had the good taste to play The Lyres, Del Fuegos, and Mission of Burma in heavy rotation. This CD picks some really choice selections from these bands. The Thrills and Atlantics both contributed unexpected gems to this CD too.
In addition, the incredible, hypnotic, organ driven tune "6" by The Neats is probably one of my all time favorite psychodelic tracks from the 80's. Without the aid the of any illegal substances, this song can project you into other worldly state of mind.
While a couple of Boston reviewers were obviously taken with this collection, I want to assure the perspective buyer that this music transcends mere regional interest. Since there are quite a few indispensable songs on this album, you can't afford to miss owning a copy." (Review by "gsherida8502" (Spokane, WA United States) at amazon)

King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents: The Romantics (1996)

With its infectious E - A - D - A chord progression, and its raucous refrain of "Hey, ... . uh-huh", "What I Like About You" burst on to FM airwaves in 1980, and firmly established The Romantics as kings of the new power pop movement that would eventually yield a wealth of great groups like Shoes, The Cars, and The Dwight Twilley Band.
"What I Like About You" would eventually find its place in rock'n'roll history as the ultimate ~arty song; a standby o.n everyone's mix tapes and, finally, a beer commercial.
But the perpetual radio existence of "What I Like About You" did not translate into the same legendary status for the band that wrote and recorded it. The Romantics, though never gone, did fade for a while before the sweeping nostalgia for the classic 80s bands brought them back to a life of widespread VH-1, radio and touring exposure (Taken from inner sleeve).

Danny & Dusty - 1986 - The Lost Weekend [Re-up cd rip]

It was just about 20 years ago that Dan Stuart and Steve Wynn took a break from their respective ..day job.. bands (Green On Red and The Dream Syndicate) and as Danny & Dusty made the hazy, beer-soaked ..The Lost Weekend". The album truly was recorded in one weekend with members of the Long Ryders (Stephen McCarthy, Sid Griffin, Tom Stevens) as well as Chris Cacavas from Green On Red and Dennis Duck from The Dream Syndicate. "The Lost Weekend.. ended up being a big influence on many pioneers of the Alt-Country movement and has only grown in stature in the years since. Go figure. Still, there hadn't been any seismic indication that the two California natives had any desire to repeat the experience until they found themselves both living in NYC. Upon hearing that Wynn had severely broken his ankle and was laid up at home, Stuart took it as a sign and wondered whether another record might be possible. Venturing uptown with guitar in hand, Danny found Dusty laying on the couch, watching baseball and chewing Vicodins. (Danny & Dusty at myspace)
