What's Playing Now

[Fritz The Cat]

A book by Geoffrey Giuliano, published 1991 by Paper Tiger, Great Britain. 256 pages. Label design "Paper Tiger" by Roger Dean?
A very fine book with many interesting pictures of memorabilia, bootlegs, merchandising products, labels, vinyl covers etc.
As noted on front cover:"Thirty years of Beatles Music and Memorabilia". Hey, this year it's 50 years since "Tomorrow never knows"....

Jack DeJohnette - Sorcery
(1974, Prestige)





intense. w/ Dave Holland, bass John Abercrombie, Guitar.

Definitively, Steve Morse was the best choice to replace Blackmore in 1994. Nobody is perfect. But with Morse, there was engaged a perfect group guitarist. And very very important: a fine charakter. Deep Purple business is a killing machine (Speed king). The show had to go on.
John Lord at his best here.
Listen to the simple but effective cult guitar riff on track A4 "Black Night": as a single 45rpm this was the kickstart in 1970 for a career extraordinaire. Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Black Sabbath: what fantastic summer we had in 1970, didn't we?
Montreux and Purple: what famous music history...........

Tommy Roe - We Can Make Music
(1970, ABC)




This is interesting, a gifted pop songwriter moves beyond bubblegum and puts out a record with more introspective folk rock and country content - backed by the Wrecking Crew and well produced. Wasn't sure what I'd get but I like it.

Marc Benno - Ambush
(1972, A&M) Monarch symbol in the deadwax




w/ Booker T Jones, Bonnie Bramlett, Ray Brown, Jim Keltner, Carl Radle, Bobby Keys, and Jesse Ed Davis. Benno played on the sessions for the LA Woman album and did the Asylum Choir LPs with Leon Russell in the late 60s.

The Rolling Stones - December's Children (And Everybody's)
(1965, London) MONO 1966 issue with a boxed "London" on the label




inspired by continuing to read Keith Richards book - Life. I'm at the part where he describes a road trip in Feb 67 from Paris to Tangier in his Bentley. What an adventure, great stories.

Carole Kaye is missing. Who is Phil Kaye, Engineer?
This is the german 1970 Probe pressing.
Sounds a little bit like The Monkees. Good time "middle of the road" pop beat with much strings. Tommy Roe was famous in Europe with 1969 45rpm hit single "Dizzy".

The Rolling Stones - Between The Buttons

She Smiled Sweetly. Keith and Mick really hit their stride with songwriting at this point.

Yep, Keith has lots to write about and he does with a terrific conversational voice.
