Mike and Lal Waterson - Bright Phoebus

320 kbps Vinyl rip

.

 In 1972, Mike and Lal Waterson (from the Watersons) joined forces to record an album for the Trailer label, Bright Phoebus, which is most unlike anything else they ever did, as it features self-penned songs (of which there are none on any of their other albums) as well as an all-star backing band. Joining Mike and Lal are folk-fusion luminaries such as Ashley Hutchings, Maddy Prior and Tim Hart of Steeleye Span, Richard Thompson, and Dave Mattacks of Fairport Convention, as well as traditionalist Martin Carthy. The album has remained out of print since 1985.

Jay-Jays - Bald Headed Woman

©1995 Phonogram/Mercury

Recorded 1966/1967

After dramatic developments in december 1965, when Holland’s most popular instrumental band The Jumping Jewels lost their name in a court case against their old manager Herman Batelaan, bandmembers decided to start with a new name in which the two “J” ‘s had to return. Instantly a new single was released, two covers from the first LP of The Kinks: Baldheaded woman coupled to Mystifying. As leadguitarist Hans van Eijck didn’t like beatmusic – he’d rather stick to the old instrumentals – he left The Jay-Jays two months later after the band did a very important TV-show promoting their first single. He was replaced by Leo Bennink, who used to play with The Black Albinos and Rene & his Alligators. The record was an instant success though, spurting into the Top Ten and getting the band a lot of work.

Ambrosia - Somewhere I've Never Travelled

320kbps CD-rip 

 This is probably one of the best symphonic rock albums of the 70's. It's recorded, mixed and produed by Alan Parsons at Mama Jo's. All members were part of the Alan Parsons Project . It's hard to discribe the album because of the many styles. Where else can you get a baroque theme with 10cc-like vocals, a spanish fandango and ballroom dancing all in one song (Danse with George).  

After this album Ambrosius went on as a more AOR band, more hits but less interresting.

01. And... /02. Somewhere I've Never Travelled / 03. Cowboy Star / 04. Runnin' Away / 05. Harvey / 06. I Wanna Know / 07. The Brunt / 08. Danse With Me George / 09. Can't Let A Woman / 10. We Need You Too. 

Alice Cooper - Special Forces Tour 1981 (AVI)

Resolution 640x480). Running Time 46'57. Size: 500 mb.

.

In 1981 Alice Cooper and his band shot a special in Paris for the french television. This show has never been aired outside France but has a few great moments. His clip for "Clones" is hilarious and the live version of "Eighteen" is imo the best he ever recorded.  His make-up during the special forces tour was scarier then ever before or after. 

The show is a promo event with tracks from "Flush The Fashion" and "Special Forces" albums plus some vintage tunes from his golden days. The show was recorded in Paris in December 1981 just before the launching of the "Special Forces" european tour. The first part of the broadcast was filmed in several typical and touristic places of Paris : le Sacré-Coeur church, la Rue Saint-Denis, Pigalle, and the Centre Beaubourg. Most of the songs seen here remain officially unreleased to this day.

The band: Alice Cooper (vocals) / Duane Hitchings (keyboards) / John Raymond Nitzinger Jr (guitar) / Eric Scott Pilipowitz (bass guitar) / Graig Kramph (drums) / Mike Pinera (guitar)

John Lees - A Major Fancy

CD: 3 bonus tracks*, Eagle EAGCD 107, 18th October, 1999

John Lees is best known as guitarist and vocalist with Barclay James Harvest. To date, Lees has only released one solo album, "A major fancy". This was recorded in 1972 when the band was changing labels from Harvest records to Polydor, and was therefore shelved without being released. It eventually gained a commercial release in 1977 on the Harvest Heritage label. A single was recorded in 1974 containing cover versions of The Eagles "Best of my love" and Eric Clapton's "You can't get it". The single is now very collectible, but the songs can be heard on the CD release of the album.

The Beatles - Hell

192 kbps incl. artwork.

After releasing the hugely successful HATE in 2006, Pete ’Best’ Zarustica and The Beatles decided it was time for another round of remixes to protest against the war… and that’s just what you get!

The Beatles' HELL comes to serve the world with classic tunes remixed for your listening pleasure. The Fab-Four poets of Limbo – or Liverpool – decided to pay a visit to HELL, like Prince William and loads of other soldiers who are still fighting this ludicrous war in the Middle-East. They took a ticket to ride in the same circles Dante described TR-708 years ago, but didn’t enjoyed it - in fact they regret it. But you can enjoy this trip (and it is a trip) downloading NOW their latest LP, The Beatles' HELL, yeah!
