In 1982 a single came out.

As the album was already printed and in the stores you'd get the single for free if you desided to buy the album. It came in a plain white sleeve, the White Single :-)

A side: How The West Got Lost. This could be a little bit plagiarism.
B side: Fortune & Fame. A shorter and instrumental version as appeared on the album.

The Beatles Revival Band is a german cover band, founded 1976 in Frankfurt, Germany. The Beatles Revival Band has been called “the most successful cover band ever” but before they started recording only covers they made an album with self written tunes in the style of the Beatles. Listen to it five times and you start to wonder why they ever continued as a coverband and not as a rockband with their own songs. If you like Beatles, Klaatu, Oasis, The Smithereens and/or Crowded House (just to name a few) this is for you.

The Beatles Revival Band is Bobby Matthes, Klaus Larish and Christian Engel. Jim (James) Hopkins-Harrison (of the band Lake) is gueststarring on leadvocals (tracks 2, 3 and 8).

Ingrid Kup, great voice, no recognition. Once she was half of the duo Big Mouth & Little Eve who had one hit (Uncle) in 1975. In 1977 the duo stopped and Willem (Big Mouth) and Ingrid (Little Eve) both went solo.

In 1981 Ingrid collaborated with Frank Duval and made a few singles and an album. Frank wrote the songs and produced them. The songs can be discribed as powerballads (think Bonnie Tyler or Doro)

Direct Metal Mastering (DMM) is an audio disc mastering technique developed by Teldec. Instead cutting onto a lacquer-coated disc, DMM cuts the groove directly in copper metal resulting in a higher quality.

Tracks: 01 Love what's your face / 02 What's there about her / 03 Hey butterfly / 04 Song of hope / 05 I'd Like To Be Your Woman / 06 Feel Me / 07 I Will Not Die / 08 Do you remember / 09 Tears in your eyes / 10 Life Goes On

Although there is no mention on the album that there was any Queen involvement here, Brian's guitar playing style, Roger's high voices, Freddie's writing style and Queen harmonies are all around. If they didn't play on this album then Queen had some unbelievable skilled copy-cats.
For the album, its less surprizing as "This One's On Me" but its surprizingly good, more accessible and more rocking.

Two students Kees (KE) and Willem (WI) released this on their own idiot records label (previous 1000 idiots, meaning that there always be 1000 idiots would buy their stuff). It's not easy to categorise their music, it's just too strange. Try some Squeeze with a bit of David Bowie mixed with Gruppo Sportivo and Nits.

Johan Timman - Trip Into The Body (1981)

Johan Timman released this album of electronic music in 1981. Nobody had heard from him before (but he had played in the Dutch progressive rockgroup Think Tank) and nobody has heard from him again (although he played on Bolland & Bolland's "In The Army Now")

-
"Trip Into The Body" is a conceptalbum about... A trip into the body (you would never have guessed). He wrote, recorded, produced and played all the instruments (Moogs, vocoders) himself. The music has aged very well and sounds quite fresh. A comparison to Kraftwerk, Kitaro, Jean-Michel Jarre and Yello Magic Orchestra comes to mind but the concept and the music is more original. Well, it was in 1981.

Warning: Don't let young children listen to "The Brain", they could easely be scared by the BRAAAAIIIIINNNN.

Tags: Ambient, Electronic, New Age, Experimental, Instrumental, Easy Listening.Oblique is Gerard Stokkink and Tom Bachmann. The album is used as music for the danceperformance "Oblique" from the Shusaku & Dormu Dance Theatre (Don't expect a dance-album now...). The LP was highly acclaimed as it was listed by MusicMaker as 'one of the best Dutch albums ever'.

-
Nevertheless Oblique never made another album again and stopped in 1988 as a band in order to fully focus on composing music for audio-visuals.

Alice Cooper - School Days (The Early Days)

Warner Bros. 1973 (recorded 1969)

CD-rip 320 Kbps

You have a choice. You can turn me off..

(from "Beautiful Flyaway")

School Days is a compilation of the bands first two albums "Preties For You" and "Easy Action" wich are two of the strangest sounding albums of all time. Highly experimental, psychadelic rock with a twist.

I've read many reviews telling that these albums are bad. Well, if you expect another "School's Out" or "Killer" then you can be dissapointed, I guess. If you're listening with an open mind then you'll discover some great music. There are some great guitar riffs and the lyrics, although incomprehensible most of the times, fit in well.

I've made two changes. 1. I've replaced de lame live version of "Levity Ball" with a much better sounding studio version. 2. I've added the studio version of "Nobody Likes Me" as a bonustrack. This hilarious song (mini-musical!) is recorded in 1969.

Be warned though, these tracks are way different from other Alice Cooper songs. They are so strange you have to hear it for yourself...

tracks: Titanic Overture / Sing Low Sweet Cheerio / Today Mueller / Living / Fields Of Regret / No Longer Umpire / Levity Ball / B.B. On Mars / Reflected / Apple Bush / Earwings To Eternity / Changing, Arranging / Mr. And Misdemeanor / Shoe Salesman / Still No Air / Below Your Means / Return Of The Spiders / Laughing At Me / Refrigerator Heaven / Beautiful Flyaway / Lay Down And Die, Goodbye / Nobody Likes Me

Jackson Browne

Solo Acoustic Live

-

Soundboard recording 2002

320Kbps

-

For more than two decades Jackson Browne has remained one of America's most important musical voices. Solo Acoustic Live finds Jackson Browne delivering tender takes from his deep catalog, completely stripped of their Seventies-era excess production. Browne is in fine voice as he digs out tunes like "These Days" (first done by Velvet Underground singer Nico in 1968) and "Lives in the Balance" (a mid-Eighties anti-Reagan diatribe that sounds especially appropriate today). He wraps things up with a threadbare rendition of "The Pretender" that cannot mask the story of a youthful idealist being beaten down by the passing years. Needless to say, Browne's strength has always been songwriting, and Solo Acoustic delivers those songs with no extra baggage.

Not encumbered by budget restrictions or lack of songs, The Monkees recorded a substantial amount of material that never saw the light of day. In the early phase, it was due to an overabundance of masters, and later, it was because of a waning public interest. These are the periods from which these Missing Links Volumes are drawn from.
