Yoko Ono - Every Man Has A Woman


©1984 Get'em Records/AppleCore
320kbps


These are the original Yoko Ono recordings of the tracks from my previous post.
Now you can compare the title track and "now or never" with the John Lennon versions yourself. I like this album but I think I do because it reminds me of the other one.

Every Man Has a Woman Who Loves Him / Silver Horse / I'm Moving On / Nobody Sees Me Like You Do / Dogtown / Goodbye Sadness / Walking on Thin Ice / Wake Up / Dream Love / Now or Never / Loneliness / It's Alright

Every Man Has A Woman - John Lennon, Harry Nilsson, Eddie Money, Rosanne Cash, Alternating Boxes, Roberta Flack, Elvis Costello, Trio, Spirit Choir, Sean Ono Lennon


©1984 Polygram Records/Geffen

This started out in 1979 as a hobby project from Harry Nilsson who wanted to record some of Yoko's songs. John Lennon sugested to make it a 50th birtdaypresent for Yoko. John recorded only one song; Now Or Never with The Spirit Choir (using the original Yoko Ono music tape). An imbecile shot John before he could record more. After John's murder Elliot Mintz and Samuel Havadtoy completed his work.

So this album featured songs which were written by Yoko Ono and recorded by other artists. Don't let the fact that Yoko wrote the song scare you off. The Harry Nilsson versions are great and the Alternating Boxes' "Dogtown" and Elvis Costello's "Walking on Thin Ice" are more than okay too. Among these tracks was this unreleased John Lennon track. But later it was made known that this track is the same song as on Double Fantasy (where Yoko sings lead and John did the backingvocals). They just made a remix with Yoko's lead vocal mixed out.


Every Man Has A Woman Who Loves Him (John Lennon) 3:32 / Silver Horse (Harry Nilsson) 3:07 / I'm Moving On (Eddie Money) 2:47 / Nobody Sees Me Like You Do (Rosanne Cash) 3:23 / Dogtown (Alternating Boxes) 3:26 / Goodbye Sadness (Roberta Flack) 3:22 / Walking On Thin Ice (Elvis Costello and the Attractions) 3:46 / Wake Up (Trio) 2:22 / Dream Love (Harry Nilsson) 3:46 / Now Or Never (Spirit Choir) 3:44 / Loneliness (Harry Nilsson) 3:42 / It's Alright Sean (Ono Lennon) 2:27

Keith Moon - Two Sides Of The Moon

©1975 Polydor

Released and dropped in 1975. This is the one and only solo album of The Who's drummer Keth Moon with a little (understatement) help from his friends; Harry Nilsson, Ringo Starr, Flo & Eddie, David Bowie, Joe Walsh, Ronnie Wood, Ricky Nelson, Steve Cropper, John Sebastan, Dick Dale, Spencer Davis, Jim Keltner, Bobby Keys, Klauss Vorman and various members of Jo Jo Gunne. So should you expect a great album? Well, Keith chose to sing instead using the album as a chance to showcase his legendary drumming skill and I don't think he could win "idols" with that voice but it's a fun album and if you like the Ringo Starr albums you'll probably like this one too.

CRAZY LIKE A FOX (Al Staehely) 2:06 / SOLID GOLD (Nickey Barclay) 2:47 / DON'T WORRY BABY (Brian Wilson/R. Christian) 3:29 / ONE NIGHT STAND (Dennis Larden) 3:36 / THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT (Peter Townshend) 3:02 / MOVE OVER MS. L (John Lennon) 3:11 / TEENAGE IDOL (J. Lewis) 2:17 / BACK DOOR SALLY (John Marascalco) 2:31 / IN MY LIFE (John Lennon/Paul McCartney) 2:40 / TOGETHER (Harry Nilsson) 3:03

I get questions about the password for the archivefiles quite frequently. I figured out why sometimes the archive seems to have a password protection.

Two possibillities:
1: Your download is corrupt, download it again.
2: You're using WinRar, probably an older version. Use WinAce or Peazip or 7Zip instead.
.
I don't use passwords!
.
If there is a  password I will mentioned it in the post. This will only happen when the original link is dead and I've found a mirror. The mirror-links and the password will be in the comments. 




If yes leave a message in the comments
and I'll fix the broken links a.s.a.p.

Eric Stewart - The Original Sountrack Of "Girls"


In 1978, 10cc made quite an impression again, not only with another hit record, but also with the videoclip for it. Based on personal experiences during a holiday in the Caribbean, "Dreadlock Holiday" became a big hit all over the world

However, during this successful time for the band, Eric had a car accident and needed time to recover from serious injuries.

When Eric started to work again, he was asked to write the soundtrack for the film "Girls" and this project resulted in the release of his first solo album in Februari 1980.

Eric Stewart: Guitars, Bass, Fender Electric Piano / Duncan Mackay: Grand Piano, Clavinet, Yamaha CS80, Taurus Bass Pedals, Rolland Vocorder Strings and Choir / Paul Burgess: Drums, Percussion / Rick Fenn: Guitar Solo / Simon Philips: Drums / Alan Jones: Bass Guitar / Graham Gouldman: Acoustic Guitars, Autoharp (Make the pieces fit)

Tracklisting:
Girls Opening Music (Mackay/Stewart) / Girls (Stewart) / Disco Grindin' (Mackay/Stewart) / Witch Le Bitch (Stewart/Mackay) / Disco Bumpin' (Mackay/Stewart) / Aural Exciter (Stewart/Mackay) / Warm, Warm, Warm (Stewart) / Tonight (Stewart/Mackay) / Snatch The Gas (Stewart/Mackay) / Your Touch Is Soft (Mackay/Stewart) / Trouble Shared (Stewart/Mackay) / Discollapse (Stewart/Mackay) / Make The Pieces Fit (Stewart)

Laura Cantrell
Sampler

She resembles a bit early Nanci Griffith and her voice is at times like Lucinda Williams. She sings relaxed like she's sitting right beside you and seems really to enjoy herself. You can't quite classify Cantrell's music or vocal style but it's sure a departure from the overproduced all-sound-alike stuff on the radio. I hope she becomes a big commercial success but in the same time let's hope Nashville keeps its hands off her sound. One Shania is more than enough.

Sampler with some live recordings, demo's, radio performances and album tracks.

01 14th Street
First song on "Humming By The Flowered Vine," written by Emily Spray.
02 Bees
Co-written by Laura with Jay Sherman-Godfrey, this song is dedicated to the late Zeke Manners and inspired the title for "Humming By The Flowered Vine."
03 Hammer & Nails
Written by Dave Schramm and produced by JD Foster, this "Humming by the Flowered Vine" out-take features Joey Burns, John Convertino and Paul Niehaus from Calexico.
04 Nightclothes & Headphones
A collaboration with electronica artist Jason Forrest from his album "Shamelessly Exciting," in memory of the late John Peel.
05 I'll Remember You
Laura is supported by Mark Spencer, Jimmy Ryan and Jeremy Chatzky on this sentimental favorite from Hawaiian songwriter Kui Lee, recorded for BBC Radio 1 "OneMusic" on June 2, 2005.
06 Letters
Recorded live @ McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, CA, this acoustic version of the Lucinda Williams song features Mark Spencer on guitar, Jimmy Ryan on mandolin and Jeremy Chatzky on bass.
07 I Lost You (But I Found Country Music)
A duet with Gordon McIntire of the Scottish band Ballboy, performed live on John Peel's annual Christmas broadcast on BBC Radio 1, December 23, 2003.
08 Rain Boy
A cover of obscure Memphis honky tonker Bruce Brakefield, broadcast live from Peel Acres on BBC Radio 1 in May, 2003.
09 When The Roses Bloom Again
The title track of the second album is an outtake from the Billy Bragg & Wilco album "Mermaid Avenue." Originally thought to be written by Woody Guthrie, the lyric has been traced back to an early 20th century Tin Pan Alley composition.
10 All The Same To You
From "When The Roses Bloom Again," written by Joe Flood.
11 High On A Hilltop
Laura covers a Tommy Collins classic. Studio outtake from "When the Roses Bloom Again."
12 Conqueror's Song
Laura & The Schramms recorded live at Off Broadway in St. Louis, written by Dave Schramm.
13 Indoor Fireworks
An underrated Elvis Costello gem from his "King of America" album, recorded for World Cafe at the Sirius studios in NYC.
14 Hong Kong Blues
The Hoagy Carmichael standard recorded at BBC's Maida Vale studios in London for a 2002 Peel Session.
15 Not The Tremblin' Kind
The title track to the debut album, written by George Usher.
16 Churches Off The Interstate
From "Not The Tremblin' Kind," written by Laura Cantrell.
17 Cellar Door
From "The Hello Recordings," produced by John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants.
18 Poor Side Of Town
Johnny Rivers hit recorded for World Cafe (but never broadcast).
19 Legend In My Time
Don Gibson classic broadcast live from John Peel's home on BBC Radio 1 in February, 2001.
20 Two Seconds
From the 2001 "Not the Tremblin' Kind" album
21 Do You Ever Think Of Me
Another track From the "Not the Tremblin' Kind" album

Emmit Rhodes - The American Dream

(Rhodes/Merrygoround)
AM Records 1971 (67-68) Vinyl rip 192 Kbps

Billboard magazine called him "one of the finest artists on the music scene today" in 1971 and in 1996 referred to his debutalbum as one of the "best albums of the decade".

The American Dream is released in 1971 and is considered his third album. It is, in fact, his first. All recordings were made in 1967-1970. He recorded some of them with his previous band the Merry Go Round and some solo. The influence of Paul McCartney (Mother Earth / Someone Died) and Harry Nilsson (The Man He Was / In The Days Of The Old) can definitely be felt here. If you want to know what kind of music the beatles would have made if Harry was one of them you should listen to Holly Park. He doesn't copy them but there's a big resemblance. If you are a 10cc fan than "Mary Will You Take My Hand" will sound familiar.

Tracks: 1. Mother Earth / 2. Pardon Me / 3. Textile Factory / 4. Someone Died / 5. Come Ride, Come Ride / 6. Let's All Sing / 7. Holly Park / 8. You're a Very Lovely Woman / 9. Mary Will You Take My Hand / 10. Man He Was / 11. In the Days of the Old / 12. 'Til the Day After

Popeye - The Movie 1980

-
For just once a movie instead of an album.
Running Time: 113 minutes
Starring: Robin Williams, Shelley Duvall
Screenplay by: Harry Nilsson Music
Based on the comic strip by: E.C. Segar
Directed by: Robert Altman
-
The movie is not great, but "Popeye" probably isn't as bad as you have heard or remember it. The film is pretty loose in its design, and in some respects, it was probably meant to be that way since it sets up the whole Popeye character and how all these people come together in his life. The movie stays remarkably true to the original strip, something which many should appreciate and admire. It's a shame that was the film's downfall, though I bet many out there (the film does have plenty of fans believe it or not) give it the respect it deserves. But I bet the strip's more obscure characters and issues left audiences feeling alienated - keep in mind that this isn't a modern retelling or reimaging of who Popeye is or what he stands for. The film just wasn't - and still isn't - what people were expecting. The reason why I put it here? Harry Nilsson wrote the music and lyrics.

Mike Oldfield And FriendsTubular Bells Live
Live at Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, UK, June 25, 1973.
-
Lineup: Mike Oldfield, Kevin Ayers, Mick Taylor, Steve Hillage, Fred Firth, David Bedford, Pierre Moelin, Ted Speight and narration by Viv Stanshall.

Until he started touring regularly in the late 1970s, Mike Oldfield built up a reputation for reclusiveness that verged on hermit-hood - rarely interviewed, seldom seen, he simply sat in the studio, constructing his latest one man masterpiece, and apparently turning down some fabulous offers to go on the road. In fact, given the extraordinary complexity of the three albums he recorded during this period (Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn), his reluctance to perform live was scarcely surprising. If the Beatles didn't think it possible to recreate some of their stuff on stage, what hope did Kevin Ayers' old bassist have?

Just twice did Oldfield stir, once for a BBC TV performance of side one of Tubular Bells, and once for a full-fledged live presentation of the entire disc, shortly after the album's release in June 1973. Surrounding himself with friends - Ayers, David Bedford, Mick Taylor, Steve Hillage, Fred Frith, Pierre Moelin and Ted Speight (Steve Winwood dropped out after missing rehearsals), Oldfield then took over London's Queen Elizabeth Hall for a show that highlights both the strengths and the weaknesses of Tubular Bells.

The strengths are in the so-called main themes, the series of disparate melodies that give the piece its body. But the links that thread them together on vinyl are treated somewhat less forgivingly on stage. Side two of the album certainly drags, with the musicians apparently abandoning any hope of capturing its intricacies, and drowning instead in a self-inflicted sea of noodles.

The less than pristine sound quality exacerbates this problem, more so than it might on a "conventional" live performance - of course Tubular Bells was only ever conceived as a studio experience, and flaws that one might forgive on, say, a Stones live recording are amplified here to deafening proportions. At the end of the show, said one review, "the entire audience rose to its feet and hollered for more. It was one of those rare spontaneous outbursts of appreciation." Oldfield, on the other hand, swore never to play another show again.
