Raw Material

Raw Material was a progressive rock band whose both original albums (released in 1970 & 1971) are now very rare and sought-after. Even the re-releases on CD from 2001 are no longer available.

Their first album includes a couple of strong, long tracks: "Time And Illusion", which has a long instrumental break and vibraphone on leading role; "I'd Be Delighted", which features strong vocals, good flute and sax work and "Fighting Cock", which builds in strength after a mellow beginning. The finale, "Destruction Of America", is a poetry recitation with melotron backing and with lyrics wich could have been written today, just listen, you'll understand...

The LP was released on Evolution Records in 1970. Presented here is the Russian re-release from 2001 wich included bonustracks 9-12.

Tracks:
1 "Time And Illusion" / 2 "I'd Be Delighted" / 4 "Fighting Cock" / 5 "Pear On An Apple Tree" / 6 "Future Recollections" / 7 "Traveller Man" / 8 "Destruction Of America" / 9 "Time And Illusion (single version)" / 10 "Hi There Hallelujah" / 11 "Bobo's Party" / 12 "Days Of The Fighting Cocks (single version)"

Harry Nilsson

Nilsson

At the end of 1964, Harry Nilsson signed a contract with Tower, a label recently formed by Capitol Records. Harry recorded a few singles for Tower. This album is a compilation of all four of the singles (and their respective B-Sides) that were released during his tenure on the Tower label (1964 - 1966), plus two previously unreleased tracks. and it was released as Spotlight On Nilsson in 1966. Emi/capitol re-released the album early 70's, probably to cash in on Harry's success. I don't know when it was released exactly because there's no mention of it on the label or on de cover..

Although the songs are available as "Spotlight On Nilsson" allmost nothing can be found about this Emidisc release wich has a beautiful sleeve by an unknown artist (mayby it's by Patrick who made some beautiful sleeves (like this one) for EMI). Let me be the first to show this albumart to the world.


Tracks:
1 "The Path That Leads to Trouble" / 2 "Good Times" / 4 "I'm Gonna Lose My Mind" / 5 "She's Yours" / 6 "Sixteen Tons" / 7 "Born In Grenada" / 8 "You Can't Take Your Love (Away From Me)" / 9 "Growin' Up" / 10 "Do You Believe"

Louis Prima

The Capitol Collector's Series

A must have for all swing fans.

Louis Prima was an innovator without equal. Jump blues/jazz icons Louis Jordan and Slim Gaillard shared Prima's penchant for combining R&B with swing and good humor, but Prima's cross-section of influences is as singular at it is striking. When Prima made his major impact in the pre-rock & roll '50s, it was a downright bizarre experience to see/hear an Italian-American combining blues, swing, pop, R&B and Italian songs in a wild, unfettered style that foreshadowed the arrival of Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis. If you're a newcomer to Prima's work, you'd be hard pressed to find a better introduction than this 26-track compilation that includes his most popular material. With R&B saxman Sam Butera and singer (wife) Keely Smith as his foils, Prima was an arresting, original voice in American music, and this collection makes the reasons plain.

Cat Stevens - Blue Monday

©2007 AppleCore

Previous released on the bootleg "Beatles - Sink In The Can". A very strange compilation of tracks. There's even a bootleg of this bootleg with the original Lee Dorsey song "working in the coalmine"credited to the Beatles.

Everything what should not be on that album is omitted to create a fine Cat Steven Album.

The sessions of Cat Stevens with Ringo have now been compiled in the correct order.

When the Walkmen did a note for note rerecording of this, it reminded me to pop it off the shelf and give it a listen. If you can get past the mid-70's production sheen, especially the way the horns sound (shudder), it's a damn fun spin.

Pat Boone

In A Metal Mood

Fifties recording star Pat Boone has become a headbanger ... performing heavy-metal ditties.

Pat Boone has taken flak from fans as well as foes of heavy-metal music since the release of his new album, Pat Boone in a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy in which he covers the "metal classics" of groups such as Alice Cooper, AC/DC, Judas Priest and Guns 'N' Roses. After the squeaky-clean teen idol of the fifties appeared in a leather vest sporting tattoos, dog collar and earring, a religious-broad-casting network yanked his weekly gospel show because some viewers were convinced Boone had gone to the devil.

NEAL SMITH

Platinum God

[New coverscans here]

In 1976, The Alice Cooperband broke up. Alice made his "Welcome To My Nightmare", Bruce made "In My Own Way" and Neal started recording an album but didn't finish it. And that's a pitty because although it aint as good as Alice's album it's much better than Michael Bruce's. Well, he did finish it in 1999.

Neal gets help from Dennis Dunaway, Michael Bruce and Mike Marconi. Together they started Billion Dollar Babies, see a previous post. Also playing is long time friend Richie Starlet who also did play at the last concert of Glen Buxton in 1997. Jack Douglas produced the album.

Tracklisting: Maneater, Deadly To Her Prey / Baby, Please Don't Stop / Every Day's A Holyday / French Quarter Cook'in / Rock And Roll Radio / Set Me On Fire / The She's A Maneater / Platinum God
