Part 1:
Sixties Freakbeat, Beat and Psych
The Accent –Red Sky at Night/ Wind of Change –Decca UK VG+
Fantastic meaty UK Psych
classic. The A side is fine and plays EX, however the B side has a mark that
can be heard half way through the side, so I would grade the B side as VG- SOLD
Angel Pavement –Baby You’ve Gotta Stay/Green Mello Hill
–Fontana UK EX
Their first of 2
singles. The B side features their best moment, the delightful popsike of Green
Mello Hill SOLD
The
Answers –It’s Just a Fear/You’ve Gotta Believe Me –Columbia UK G
Terrific Freakbeat monster by Tony
Hill and associates. Now the single has some issues, vinyl has marks and there
is a small edge lift. However, audio-wise the A side plays VG+, the B side is noisier
and plays VG-. The condition is reflected in the price, but the A side plays
great SOLD
Brincos –Nobody Wants You Now/The Train –Page One UK EX
Perfect seemingly
unplayed copy of the Spaniards’ best moment, stands with the best of all that
Rubbles/Circus Days stuff…what a production! SOLD
Dave
Dee, Dozy, Beaky Mick and Tich –Frustration/ Hard to Love You –Fontana Dutch
VG+/VG+ (small name of cover)
Holland seems to be the only place
where their most raucous track (Frustration) came out on a single. Both sides
play EX SOLD
The
Game - It’s Shocking What They Call Me/Help Me Mummy’s Gone –Parlophone UK Demo
VG+
Killer Freakbeat double sider. A
few lights marks and some low level crackle. Audio is somewhere between VG and
VG+. Initials on B side label.SOLD
Grapefruit
–Sha Sha/Universal Party –Deram –Germany EX/VG+
By this time Grapefruit was but a
name, however both sides of this release were recorded by George Alexander,
George Young and Harry Vanda no less. Great under-valued single!
Laughing
Gravy –Vegetables/Same –White Whale –US VG+
Dean Torrance’s (Jan and Dean) contemporary Smile recreation.
Dean got to hear the unfinished track during the Smile sessions and with the
project being shelved saw the opportunity of being the first to release Smile
material.
My
Dear Watson –The Shame Just Drained/Elusive Face –Parlophone NL VG+
The first and only version of
Vanda and Young’s masterpiece released when the
Easybeats Good Times album got
shelved. Although relegated to the B side, it’s another testament to the genius
of Vanda & Young who produced both sides of the single. Plays EX, slight
rubbing on B side label. SOLD
Rag
Dolls –My Old Man’s a Groovy Old Man/They Didn’t Believe Me –Columbia UK Demo
EX (small number on label)
Another outlet to release a great
Vanda and Young gem that was poised to appear on the Easybeats’ unreleased Good Times LP
Shadows of Knight –My Fire Department Needs a
Fireman/Taurus-Hansa Germany EX/G
German issue of the
Knight’s monster. Record is fine, but the sleeve has seen better days…SOLD
Part 2:
Junkshop Glam, Bubblegum, Proto Punk, Powerpop
and oddities
Airship –Get Out, Take Your Mother With You/Gimme a Can of Spray Paint
Decca Demo EX
Great demo copy of this frenetic
Punk Boot Boy Cruncher. It has recently been reissued, but this is the original
issue SOLD
American Jam Band –American Jam/Nature’s Child –Parlophone UK
Demo
Pristine copy of the
phased Junkshop Cruncher SOLD
Antilope –Down on Your Feet/Goodbye –BASF NL EX/VG+
Cracking Crunching
NederGlam double-sider not to be missed SOLD
Bitch –Good Time Coming/At The Party WB Germany –EX/VG+
The original version of
Good Time Coming from the NZ band who made the trip to London hoping to make
it. Great track, great performance. Not too sure why the German cover features
a pig though…SOLD
Buggies –Julie July/ Allright
She Said –Philips –NL EX/EX
Produced by the great Peter Koelewijn (Bonnie St Claire etc…), Julie
July is a great popsike tune, somewhere between The Hollies and Smyle. The B
side is more raucous SOLD
Children – Movin’ On/Montana –BASF –DK EX/EX
Not their best single,
but 2 sprightly uptempo pop ditties from the Danish Teen/Glam sensations SOLD
Children of The Morning –Hey America, America/Children of The Morning
–Hansa Germany EX/EX £10
Why in 1973 would an Italian based
Brit write about the Kent State Campus killing from 3 years previous?
Sound-wise you could think of a protest infused John
Kongos with Donovan tendencies over the mother of all slapping
Gunshot beats. Great Pic sleeve.
Tracey Dean –Moonshiner/Boy On The Ball –Decca Demo UK EX (Number on Label)
Top Glam double-sider stompers by
Giorgio Moroder and Peter Bellotte. UK issues are harder to locate than ther
European counterparts
Eddie Kidd –Motorbike Kid/Big Jump Decca UK Demo EX
The A side is a 50s
pastiche, however the B side is a crunching semi-instrumenal with hand claps
and a driving beat punctuated by shouts
of “Big Jump”. The same B side is on Leave It To The Kid…SOLD
Eddie Kidd - Leave it To The Kid/Big Jump 1978 UK Decca Demo
EX
Leave It To The
Kid is a bone-crunching-13-double-decker-hopping-semi -smash-stomper by
the UK’s own Evel Knievel: Eddie Kidd. Of the Decca singles I have,
this is by far the greatest as it’s a truly rousing performance featuring Eddie’s
unmistakable vocal range along with a great driving string section. SOLD
Fluff –Sunny Honey Girl/Walking Alone –DJM Belgium issue VG+/VG+
Infectious UK uptempo Bubblegum.
As was sometimes the case in Belgium, the pic sleeve is just one-sided SOLD
Funky Family-Clap Your Hands and Stamp Your Feet/Allright –Vogue –French
EX/EX
It’s hard to beat a blonde in hot
pants clutching a sub-machine gun especially when within you have a stomping
Male sung cover of the Bonnie St. Claire classic
Funny Dog –One, Two, Three/Momo’s in Two –CBS Promo cover EX/VG+ Germany
Fun BubbleGlam from Mr Chirpy
Cheep Cheep himself (Lally Stott), the B side is more chugging in approach
Ricky Gordon- Get Around 1974 Belgium Vogue EX/EX
A strange one. Moving from
Mud/Elvis turns to Beach Boys/Four Seasons style with an ever present distorted
guitar, this one certainly doesn't know what it is…Weird
Hammersmith Gorillas –You Really Got Me/Leavin’ Home –Penny Farthing
–German EX/EX
Near perfect copy of this great
cruncher from Jesse housed in the coveted Man in Gorilla suit cover. The sleeve
has a tiny date neatly written on the top of one side of the cover (both sides
have the same picture) SOLD
Hogback 'n' Pig If You Can't Be Good…Be Bad/Good Old Rock n’Roll UK CBS EX
Not quite Glam, not quite Hard
Rock, not quite Pop, but it's catchy, all good …no bad
Josuha –Jenny –Magic Carpet CNR NL VG+ (2 inaudible scratches on side 1)
/VG+
Now, here’s a real treat. Jenny starts off in the mode of
the sleeve at a trot but then the riff kicks in and the track turns into a
fab Bubblegum/Rock tune with lyrics playing
around with old chestnut (mare?) double-entendres about “going for a
ride”...It’s all great fun and a top tune. Magic Carpet is nice n’ heavy and here they sing about the
magical tripped out properties of cheap plonk.
Libido Hold on To Your Fire/Weren't Born A Man Mooncrest UK VG+
(name on label)
Like a lush Badfinger song, the track then builds into subtly
orchestrated track with some fine lead guitar. The vocals by Dana Gillespie are
gorgeous conveying both sweetness and sass SOLD
Mo-i-Rana –So My Daddy Says/Alone Polydor –DK EX/EX
Great copy of this
Danish Crunching Glam scorcher SOLD
Mo-i-Rana –You Really Got Me /Since You Been Gone Polydor –DK EX/VG+
Great Take on the Kinks’ hit.
Heavy and rocking SOLD
Pony- It’s Gonna Be So Easy/ ‘Til I Met You –Pye UK Demo EX
Only released with a B
side in the UK, this is all that come out from these US Powerpop pathfinders. An
unreleased album remains in the vaults. Archive copy SOLD
Randy and The U Turns - 99 Octane Girl/Roll On Roll Off UK UA EX/VG+
Not KBD as has been listed elsewhere, but a fine Pub
Rock/Punk crossover with harmonies recorded down in Rockfield. Demo in picture
sleeve SOLD
Rescue Co. No. 1 - It's Only Words/Look Out 1973 JAM Demo UK EX (Sticker on B side)
Demo copy of this great
Garage meets Glam cruncher. SOLD
Rescue Co. No. 1 - I Want to Save You/Amanda JAM Demo UK VG+
Brilliant Move sound alike
from the Rescue SOLD
Rescue Co. No. 1 – Life’s Too Short/Then I Think About You –RAK UK VG+
Another quality single from Rescue
Co. No. 1. This one showcases their knack in delivering infectious Pop. Small
tear on B side label
Rubber Band - Moonwalker/Wichita 1973 UK Youngblood Demo EX
Overlooked Glam cruncher, it’s
surely going to break through sooner rather than later. Total KILLER! Why is
this one still under the radar? Check out the Youtube clip! SOLD
Paul and Barry Ryan –Won’t You Join Me/ Glad to Know You
Polydor France EX/EX
Glad To Know You is a
totally fab piece of Psych-Bubblegum-Glam. Hidden on the B side of the full
blown heart string-puller Won’t You Join Me, it’s another choice example of the
brothers aptitude of coming up trumps on the B side. The song twists and turns,
the orchestration is understated, the guitars have real oomph, and production
touches like the vocals through the leslie cabinet make this an imaginative yet
totally accessible winner. SOLD
Skid –I Saw her Standing There/Endless Sleep –Hansa –Germany EX/EX
Perfect condition on this sought
after Proto Punk double-sider housed in the smart German picture sleeve
featuring the mystery group SOLD
Skyband –Bang! Ooh! Ya Got Me/Cold Light of Day –RCA UK EX
(Stamper on label)
Underated Gem with mixes
Junkshop Glam drive with neat pop overtones, not to mention silly head
gear…(See their LP cover!) SOLD
Smoke - My Lullaby/Looking High 1974 UK Decca EX
Super rare late (1974) Glam
release by The Smoke. This is very similar to Sugar Man and none the worst for
that.
Smoke – Sugar Man/ That’s What I Want –BASF –Germany VG/VG
Cracking early 70s
effort by The Smoke, that brings my Friend Jack right into a Glam setting. The
B side is also marvelous. Not a perfect copy, but looks and plays fine SOLD
Sparks Girl
From Germany/ Beaver
O'Lindy Bearsville Germany EX/EX
Lovely
German picture sleeve on this great early Sparks classic
Stephen - Right on Running Man/ Epitath Antic UK VG+
Mutt Lange in cracking
Glam stomper shocker! SOLD
True Adventure Where The Roxy Used to Be/ Outlaw Love 1974 UK
Decca
Unplayed demo. The B
side is an outright Glam Cruncher, while the A side is a glorious piece of emotive
70s nostalgia SOLD
Walkers – Strip Tease/ This Boy This Girl –Philips DK EX/EX
One of the best Walkers
single as both sides fully deliver in the Junkshop department SOLD
Whistle –When The Lights Go Out on Broadway/Lincoln Lullabies –York Demo UK EX
Hard to find second single by
Whistle (The Party Must Be Over). It’s hard Glam and shares many similarities
with their previous single but includes production flourishes straight out of
the Bob Ezrin’s bag of tricks. Demo copy housed in York Company sleeve. SOLD

Psych, Hard Rock and Bonehead
Blackbirds 2000 –Preludium/Let’s Do It Together Cornet German
EX/EX

Mushroom - This is It/Cosmic
DanceUS Vulcan EX
Great obscure near Bonehead Hard Rock/Psych SOLD
New Lords –We Go Out In The Sunshine/Country Fever –Columbia
–German EX/EX
The A side is a fine
uptempo Bubblegum Pop number, but it’s the B side where the action is at.
Country Fever is no country outing, but a great example of Loud and raucous 70s
Heaviness SOLD
Ray Owen’s Moon –Hey Sweety/Free Man –Polydor UK VG+
Absolute killer 2 –sider
