Bubbling Under The Hot 1. SO MANY RECORDS, SO LITTLE TIMESaturday, December 2. Listen: Let Her Dance / Bobby Fuller Four. Let. Released during the summer of ’6. Let Her Dance’ somehow made merely a dent (# 1. This is the website of!K7, the!K7 label group is home to some of the most diverse and internationally acclaimed artists worldwide.

Amazingly, the single didn’t spread like wildfire. It’s not like Los Angeles airplay couldn’t break a record. I still can’t believe it wasn’t a hit. Apparently, more than those at the original label, Mustang thought so too. They proceeded to license it to Liberty Records, clearly expecting to take the song national as Mustang did later in the year with ‘I Fought The Law’. Why it wasn’t re- released as the followup to ‘I Fought The Law’ remains a mystery, given a few trade mentions in March ’6. Download Porn Pictures From This Stories. BDSMArtWork Full Siterip! ROMAN DECADENCE (43) Posted on August 25th, 2010. Mother, may I The city had fallen quickly. I suppose Liberty insisted if re- released, despite passing on ‘I Fought The Law’ later that year, it be via them or some such wrangle. To be honest, Little Steven turned me on to this about five years ago. He plays it regularly on his Sirius radio channel. Sounds fantastic on the air as it must have that summer while driving along the Pacific Palisades, surf boards popping out the back of pink or aqua woodies. Foolishly, I hadn’t paid much attention prior. Missing this when originally issued is indeed an embarrassing admission, but one that makes for endless records to discover as life moves on.‘Let Her Dance’ remains a haunting record with a suspicious streak, one that blossomed in an unfortunate way. I was never sure why the single appeared on both the Mustang and Liberty labels, so decided to do some research, stumbling on Aaron Poehler’s ‘The Strange Case Of Bobby Fuller’. It’s a must- read.

Liberty, Little Steven, Mustang, Sirius | No Comments »Wednesday, March 1. Listen: The Tracker / The Sir Douglas Quintet. The Tracker / The Sir Douglas Quintet. Like so many bands popping up around the country circa ’6. Britain’s Invasion, The Sir Douglas Quintet appeared. Unlike those others, they had a recognizable sound (perfectly part Bo Diddley, part Pretty Things) and could both write and find great songs, and had the production advantage of Huey P. Meaux guiding them. The band never released a bad single on London Records’ imprint Tribe. They eventually moved to Smash/Philips where their greatness, and the occasional hit single, continued. The Tracker’, followup to their debut smash ‘She’s About A Mover’, was a real favorite despite it’s national stall at #1. July ’6. 5 on Billboard’s Bubbling Under The Hot 1. I recall seeing them on SHINDIG, Doug Sahm (Sir Douglas) doing a mean Phil May imitation vocal on ‘The Tracker’ while holding an oversized magnifying glass, kind of roaming around the stage as though following footsteps visible when enlarged, Sherlock Holmes style. Not only did they have the sound down, but the look as well. Listen: Blue Norther / The Sir Douglas Quintet. Blue Norther / The Sir Douglas Quintet‘Blue Norther’, the B side, with it’s rather haunting patent Sir Douglas Quintet formula (not to be taken as a bad thing), I like to think is about the train line and totally conjured up nighttime images of a freight winding it’s way through some dark mountain woods or the Texas desert, assuming there is one there. Listen: In Time / The Sir Douglas Quintet. In Time / The Sir Douglas Quintet. Quickly released that September, no doubt in hopes of refuelling interest after their huge debut, ‘In Time’ stiffed completely. Shame, just listen to it’s perfection. No other US band quite captured their flawless mixture of Texas and England, a recipe that should’ve easily worked. To my knowledge, only KNAC in Salt Lake City charted it for a week in October at #6. Otherwise, klunk. Listen: The Story Of John Hardy / The Sir Douglas Quintet. The Story Of John Hardy / The Sir Douglas Quintet. For the flipside of ‘In Time’, as with Manfred Mann’s rendition of the Lomax/Lomax written ‘John Hardy’ (it too a B side of ‘Sha La La’), the ever present influence of The Pretty Things, marraccas particularly, prevailed. The band’s more folk blues ‘version’, retitled ‘The Story Of John Hardy’, songwriting mischievously credited to Doug Sahm, succeeded in establishing yet again that sound so unique to this band. Many years later, Doug Sahm formed The Texas Tornadoes and signed to Warner Brothers. I saw him in the office one day (my company, The Medicine Label, was a WB label) and he graciously filled out a jukebox tab for me. It was a chance meeting, so I wasn’t prepared with B side info. I couldn’t remember it, neither could he. Above: Jukebox Tab filled out by Doug Sahm. Tags: Billboard, Bo Diddley, Bubbling Under The Hot 1. Doug Sahm, Elektra, Huey P.

Listen: So Much In Love With You / Ian & The Zodiacs. So. Usually not one for the Liverpool sound, even I found the occasional exception. Top of the list would indeed be The Cryin’ Shames, and included somewhere, Ian & The Zodiacs. Yes, despite their twee delivery, I suppose it’s the nostalgia in me that finds this soft spot toward them. Plus I liked their name, and was always a big fan of their label group, Philips/Mercury/Fontana/Smash.I recall seeing their album in a local shop, it may have even been my introduction to the band.Back in 1. 96. 5, to be afforded an album, with only a single or two to spark it’s sale, especially when they were stiffs, was rare. Ads Cgi Personal Script Softwares . But it gave us all a chance to see a color photo of them, itself a treat.As was the case with Ian & The Zodiacs, their label Philips jumped on the US youth market’s insatiable taste for anything British Invasion related.Hence it seems the whole marketing plan for this band was to simply announce themselves as such, right there on the front cover of their debut, and as it turned out only, album: “We’re new. We’re from England. We have a new sound”. The last bit wasn’t really true at all, this debut single being a Mick Jagger / Keith Richards cover, made somewhat famous as the only UK chart hit by The Mighty Avengers, who like The Rolling Stones were also managed by Andrew Loog Oldham. Also covered by The Herd, ‘So Much In Love’ or ‘So Much In Love With You’, as it’s titled here, possibly to avoid crediting the correct songwriters (Mick and Keith – see label above), is a rather perfect British Invasion, not my term btw, song. At least that’s my opinion. And so, on July 3. So Much In Love With You’ sat at #1. BILLBOARD’s Bubbling Under The Hot 1. Airplay in some small town? A few boxes sold by mistake when the warehouse were meant to ship a much bigger current hit? A nice dinner for the chart compiler at BILLBOARD’s main office? I do recall when working at Elektra during a weekly Wednesday marketing meeting, our company trade publications rep mentioning ‘begging for bullets during her BILLBOARD lunch’. Hmm. Regardless, hopefully Ian & The Zodiacs basked in their seven days of US fame during that fateful hot July week, as they were never to chart again.

Listen: Come And Play With Me In The Garden / John’s Children. Come. True story: In the early 8. I did a weekly two radio hour show called Import/Export for the mainstream rock station in Rochester, WCMF. It was tucked away at midnight on Tuesdays, and in today’s market it’d be deemed as a specialty show, where all the bands/records that are left of center and on the way up get a weekly spin. It was loads of fun. When the station decided to leave the building they’d been housed in since the 6. Home | Westerville Public Library.
