More than 180mn of "Action at full speed"

 THE MANY SIDES OF SHAKE SOME ACTION (2022)

Shake Some Action is no less than a contender for the best rock'n'roll song ever written. It's that good. It's the '72 version recorded alongside "Slow Death. In fact, the band wanted the Capitol demo cut on the album but the Dave Edmunds produced one is a masterpiece. Six overdubbed lead guitars descend into a strident riff of epic quality. Beat boom maracas help along the infectious rhythm and the chorus is pure pop excitement. "Shake Some Action's what i need...so let me buts out at full speed". (Bucketfull of Brains 1986)

So, i've compiled all the covers (42 exactly while only 10 are listed on the "secondhandsongs" site) i have been able to find for a mere 180mn memorabilia of one of the greatest rock songs ever written. And as a bonus, both 1972 and 1976 versions of this classic have been included on the collection. I've kept the original albums or singles tags of the covers to know from where they come from.

Maybe all of the covers included here are not fantastic, but it is really interesting to note that most of them are really faithful to the song. No artist has tried to change the epic riff or rhythm.

 

And now are you ready to hear 3 hours 9 minutes and 34 seconds of "Action at full speed" ?

Info: still deaf of my right ear but always active to bring order in my archives. One of the reasons that brought this new compilation to PPC, maybe not the smartest one i've ever made but certainly one of the funniest to compile.

Top of 2021

  THE UNOFFICIAL 2021 DAVID BASH'S TOP 25 (2022)

Some of you might be surprised to see this new post, but i enjoyed the 2021 releases  during 9 months, and it wasn't so hard to compile this best of 2021 as i already knew most of them. So, I made it slowly listening to a few songs everyday at a really low level, but as you can see it now, it was completed and now it is shared here on PPC.

Fresh collection from the seasonal David Bash list which grew up from to the regular Top 125 to a mighty 175. a top 175. The list also included a top list of EP's, and some compilations and tributes. Once again, the PPC compilation is limited to the first 25 albums of 2021. The 2021 list has been included, checking the ones i have.

The Last PPC Christmas

 THE LAST CHRISTMAS (BACK TO MONO) (2021)

As you may have guessed, this is probably the very last PPC Xmas compilation (another volume of "Tributes or Not Tributes" was in the oven, but i don't think i'll be able to finish it). Anyway, this Christmas collection was almost completed before the sudden hearing loss, so i only had to make the artwork during the past few weeks and now it is shared here on PPC.

This is approximately the 143th PPC compilation (and the 16th Xmas one) made over the last 15 years, and in my opinion this is a nice ending to the PPC posts. 

 

Enjoy this brand new Christmas Gift

Another batch of Top lists

As i previously told you, i want to complete the series of the David Bash's lists, so here are 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. As far as i know, and according to the specialists met during the five past weeks, the right ear loss has nothing to do with the music, specially because i was not listening loud or even very loud, i didn't attend to any concerts during the last ten years, but now i have to be really careful about it. All they were able to tell me about the sudden loss was " It happens but there's no explanation".

So, here are four new volumes, enjoy.

Three more volumes to go (2018, 2019 & 2020)

..and thank you so much for all your messages.

The End of PPC

Due to a major health issue, i could call it "the most related one to music", i have to close PPC, it will go offline at the end of the year unless a miracle cure could happen, even though everyone i have seen during the past five weeks has said the odds are at its lowest.

Of course, i'm gonna try to finish and complete the current series with my left ear before going offline. The work is slower than previously because i have to be careful to keep my left ear alive.

Finally, I'd like to thank all the PPC readers who have always posted comments here supporting my works.
