The Supremes - A Bit Of Liverpool (1964)

Mp3\38Mb

*****

The most successful American performers of the 1960s, the Supremes for a time rivaled even the Beatles in terms of red-hot commercial appeal, reeling off five number one singles in a row at one point. Critical revisionism has tended to undervalue the Supremes' accomplishments, categorizing their work as more lightweight than the best soul stars (or even the best Motown stars), and viewing them as a tool for Berry Gordy's crossover aspirations. There's no question that there was about as much pop as soul in the Supremes' hits, that even some of their biggest hits could sound formulaic, and that they were probably the black performers who were most successful at infiltrating the tastes and televisions of middle America. ...

A Bit of Liverpool is an album by singing group The Supremes, released in the fall of 1964 (see 1964 in music) on the Motown label. A cover/tribute album dedicated to the music of the concurrent British invasion, A Bit of Liverpool features covers of songs by groups such as The Beatles, Gerry & The Pacemakers, and The Dave Clark Five. Also present are two Motown songs which were heavily covered by British acts: The Miracles' "You've Really Got a Hold on Me and The Contours' "Do You Love Me".

"A Hard Day's Night", "You Can't Do That", "Can't Buy Me Love", and "I Want to Hold Your Hand" were all originally recorded by The Beatles. "Because" and "Bits and Pieces" were originally done by The Dave Clark Five. "How Do You Do It" is a Gerry & The Pacemakers original, and the version of "The House of the Rising Sun" here is based upon the hit version by The Animals.

Liverpool Express - Tracks (1977)

*****

Liverpool Express was a successful pop/rock quartet that formed out of the remnants of Rockin' Horse, a short-lived early-'70s oldies-oriented band organized by '60s Liverpool music veterans Jimmy Campbell and Billy Kinsley. Kinsley restarted Rockin' Horse in 1975 with Tony Coates on guitar and vocals, Roger Scott Craig on keyboards, and Derek Cashin on drums, while Kinsley played bass. Signed to British Warner Bros., they had a slow start with the abortive debut single "Smile," but scored with their second record, "You Are My Love," which reached number 11. They became fixtures in the mid-level of the U.K. charts for more than five years, with the occasional run up to the Top Ten, and in later years Cashin was succeeded by Pete Kircher and Coates was replaced by Kenny Parry. Their history came to an end when Kinsley rejoined his '60s outfit the Merseybeats in the early '90s.

The Tielman Brothers were the first Dutch-Indonesian band that successfully went international in the 1950s.

They were one of the pioneers of rock and roll in The Netherlands. The band was quite famous in Europe, long before The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Their music was called Indorock, a fusion of Indonesian and Western music, and has roots in Kroncong. MORE...

The story of THE TIELMAN BROTHERS begin in Surabaya, where the 4 little brothers Tielman and little sister Jane started performing together in 1945 folk songs and traditional dances. Father Herman a captain and later quartermaster in the KNIL (Royal Dutch Indonesian Army) and he had stayed in a Japanese concentration camp. He owned a house in Surabaya and started to play music together with his friends. Herman Tielman was a gifted all round musician and he was the one that supplied Reggy, Ponthon, Andy, Loulou and Jane with their rich musical luggage. From the started Ponthon wanted to play the big double bass. Reggy wanted to play banjo and little Loulou was fond of the drums. Andy learned to play lead guitar. During their first performance during a house party they surprised their fathers friends with difficult numbers like Tiger Rag and 12th Street Rag. MORE ...

The Roadrunners - Twist Time im Star-Club Hamburg ( Ariola)

Dave Percy - guitar/vocals

Pete Mackey - bass guitar/vocals

John Peacock - keyboards

Dave Boyce - drums

By rights, if talent were a consideration, The Roadrunners would be remembered alongside such 1960's British blues outfits as the Rolling Stones, the Animals, and the Pretty Things. At least, they'd have been doing the kind of profitable concertizing in northern Europe that performers Alexis Korner and even the Downliners Sect were doing in the late 1960's. They never made it that far, however, despite counting the Beatles among their more outspoken fans. 

The Roadrunners were part of the second wave of Liverpool beat bands, formed in Birkenhead in the wake of groups like The Big Three and younger first-wave bands like The Beatles and The Searchers. The group members had originally gotten together as the Tenabeats in 1961 or early 1962, with Dave Percy on lead guitar and vocals. The group's real star after the renamed themselves the Roadrunners, however, was Mike Hart, an architecture student with a great voice. Pete Mackey played bass and also sang, John Peacock was the group's pianist, and Dave Boyce played drums. Sometime between 1961 and 1963, Dave Percy exited the group's line-up, leaving the core of the group as a quartet. 

In contrast to a lot of their contemporaries, the Roadrunners played more rhythm-and-blues than rock 'n roll, and they became frequent performers at the Cavern Club, often on the same billing with the Beatles—indeed, they were on the same bill as the Beatles on the latter group's final engagement there. The Roadrunners played and sang American r&b like they meant it, and were extremely popular both in Liverpool and Hamburg, where they won a competition at the Star-Club and could have made a major name for themselves. Indeed, George Harrison, when asked once about the Rolling Stones early in the climb to fame by the latter band, remarked that Mick Jagger, Brian Jones and company were about as good as the Roadrunners, and he meant it as a compliment to the London band. 

The Roadrunners were also out in front of the Rolling Stones in some respects, covering Arthur Alexander's "You Better Move On" before the Stones put their rendition on tape for anyone to hear. They could also rock out on Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry numbers as well as any band in England, romping and stomping over songs like "Beautiful Delilah" and (natch!) "Roadrunner" like they'd invented them, the latter being an especially fine showcase for their work. 

What they didn't do, of course, was write songs, and this limited their appeal—exciting as their records and stage act were—as more and more of the competition, especially the likes of the Rolling Stones, began coming up with original numbers that had their own twists on American r&b. Getting airplay on covers—however good they might have been—of American songs was a dicey prospect at best for any northern act at the outset of the beat boom in Liverpool, and became tougher as original songs became the norm in the mid-1960's. If anything else held the Roadrunners back, it was the fact that their singer-guitarist Mike Hart refused to give up his architecture studies, and that, as a result, he was only able to go abroad with the band during semester breaks. This limited their prospects even in Germany, where they could've made a good living. Still, their reputation was such that the group played the First R&B Festival in Birmingham, England—produced and recorded by Giorgio Gomelsky—on a bill with the Spencer Davis Rhythm and Blues Quartet, Steam Packet, Long John Baldry and the Hoochie Coochie Men, the Yardbirds, and Sonny Boy Williamson II. 

There was even some interest for a time from Decca Records, which was quite a compliment considering that they already had the Stones under contract and were looking at groups like the Small Faces. Hart, however, became wary of the overtures and what they would mean in terms of softening the group's sound. The group never made the jump to international success that those other bands (or their key members) did, but not for lack of trying. In 1964, the group's line-up expanded with the addition of pair of saxophone players, Nick Carver and John Phillips (who also played the flute), who later was a part of the Eyes, a Liverpool-spawned outfit that also featured Klaus Voorman. The group recorded a live album at the Star-Club, released under the auspices of Ariola Records, which showed an evolution in their sound—where the group had started out under the influence of Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, by late 1963 they were showing the influence of James Brown and Bobby Bland, as well as Arthur Alexander and Larry Williams. The Roadrunners had a formidible sound, and at his best Mike Hart was a near-match for Mick Jagger or Eric Burdon as a soul singer. Their big break never came, however—at least, not outside of Germany. A second Star-Club album, shared with the group Shorty and Them, appeared in 1965. By the middle of that year, however, the line-up had begun to crack, Phillips having moved on (succeeded by Bob Harrison on trumpet), and Mike Hart finally exited the group. He joined the Liverpool Scene and was succeeded in the Roadrunners by Mike Byrne on vocals and Mike Kontzle on the guitar, while Terry McCusker took over on the drums from Dave Boyce. The group played out its string in Germany under Peter Mackey's leadership into early 1966, before they disbanded. Mackey and Hart later joined forces in an attempt to start Hart on a solo recording career. In 1999, Bear Family Records reissued the Roadrunners Star-Club album as part of its four-CD set Die Ariola Star-Club Aufnahmen. Mike Byrne started a Beatles museum in Liverpool in the 1980's.

At about the same time as Centerville, Ohio rock group Ivan and the Sabres was enjoying their first taste of success with the release of their popular regional song “Just Let Her Go”, the Chandells – another local band from Centerville – was forming. Although they were together for approximately two short years, the Chandells would indisputably become the top combo in the Dayton area. In addition to being named the # 1 band (out of about 800 total) in Southern Ohio, they recorded ten fantastic demos that remained unreleased but that showed the true promise the group had. After a name change to Bittervetch and the release of an irresistible single that would represent their sole vinyl output, the band’s run at the big time would be cut short. While Ivan Browne would leave the Sabres to replace Tony Brazis in Tony & The Bandits – and therefore find greater success after a name change to the Lemon Pipers (of “Green Tambourine” fame) — the members of Bittervetch instead headed for college and, with the exception of Hegel, life plans that unfortunately did not include rock and rol

The Kingsmen - The Very Best Of

REPOST

*********

A rock & roll band from Portland, Oregon, the Kingsmen's one big hit "Louie, Louie" defined the garage-band style and became one of the all-time classics. The original lineup included Jack Ely (lead singer and guitar), Lynn Easton (drums), Mike Mitchell (lead guitar), Bob Nordby (bass), and Don Galucci (piano). After Ely had "incorrectly" taught the rest of the band the Wailers version of Richard Berry's "Louie Louie" (thus altering the basic rhythm into the now famous duh-duh-duh, duh-duh, duh-duh-duh, duh-duh riff that has become the only way anyone has played it since), they recorded it for fifty dollars at a primitive local recording studio with only three mikes, ...

When the Kingsmen's ragged, stumbling and accidentally brilliant version of Richard Berry's "Louie Louie" broke out as a national hit in 1964, it created a three-chord stomping template for garage and frat bands everywhere, and the Kingsmen themselves never abandoned the organ-driven R&B approach that spawned the song, working the formula into other hits like "Jolly Green Giant" and the huge, crushing "Killer Joe." This set collects the essential tracks and tosses in a few instrumentals, as well. A few of the cuts are supposedly done live in concert, but one can never be sure with the Kingsmen, since the group's early albums would frequently have dubbed in audience noise added to studio performances. Not that it matters much with a group this immediate and raw -- the Kingsmen hardly needed audience noise, real or not, to sound exciting.

The Bystanders - Pattern People:The Pye Anthology

Mp3\69Mb

******

This 23-song compilation shows a group who had the pop sensibilities and range of the Tremeloes, and who could do credible soul covers and more than decent psychedelia, but somehow never developed a distinctive sound of their own. The result is an almost dizzying array of styles, represented by eight singles that were perfectly good records but which seldom sounded like each other. The Bystanders' early sides, from 1965, were heavily Beatles-influenced, their debut recalling the Liverpool quartet's early-1963 recordings, but also displaying smooth pop hooks reminiscent of Herman's Hermits on their better singles. By the time of "Have I Offended the Girl" in 1966, they start to sound more like the early Who vocally, but the other side of the same single is the dramatic pop ballad "My Love -- Come Home," and their next single, "If You Walk Away," is somewhere midway between Unit 4+2 and Tom Jones, while their cover of "98.6" is cheerfully upbeat in a way that recalls Herman's Hermits at their most embarrassingly upbeat. And then they come up with a decent cover of "Stubborn Kind of Fellow" in 1967. Beyond that point, the group turned toward a gentle brand of psychedelic pop, represented by "Royal Blue Summer Sunshine Day," "Pattern People" (where they sound a bit like the Association), and the poppish, upbeat "Green Grass," moving into ethereal psychedelia on the sitar-laden "Cave of Clear Light." And then, just as their history as the Bystanders was coming to an end, they plunge into the Bee Gees-inspired sides "This World Is My World" and "Painting the Time" (think the trio's late-psychedelic era). This CD is filled with moments like that, little pop/rock jewels that are widely scattered and don't exactly spell out a full story of anybody, but are pretty satisfying on their own terms. The disc also includes a brace of unreleased tracks, among them a rocking cover of "Cheryl's Going Home" and interesting renditions of "The Little Girl I Once Knew" (where the harmonies intermingle well with the lean instrumental sound) and "Dang Me," plus the two prizes of the 23 songs here, "My Way of Thinking," a hard-rocking piece of U.K.-style garage rock, and "Grapevine," a blue-eyed soul classic that shows what this group was truly capable of in the way of original songs, when they aimed that high.

Much of the Berries' output reflected the lighter pop-rock face of the British beat boom, emphasizing catchy, carefully constructed tunes supplied by British and American songwriters, with high harmonies indebted to the Four Seasons and the Beach Boys. The Berries wrote little of their own material, and this, combined with the wimpiness of some of their recordings, doomed them to little recognition, and little critical respect, even among British Invasion aficionados. For what they were, however, their best pop-rock outings were pretty respectable. A career strategy that put an eye on the "all-around entertainer" niche, ... Read More...

The Liverbirds (sometimes spelled Liver Birds) were one of the more distinctive outfits in Liverpool (and anywhere else, for that matter) by virtue of the fact that they were a hard-rocking all-girl group, self-contained instrumentally and focused on rhythm-and-blues. They weren't too successful musically in Liverpool, but in 1963 they went to Hamburg, where they became one of the most popular acts ever to play the Star Club. Irene Green (vocals), Sheila McGlory (guitar, vocals), Mary McGlory (bass, vocals), Pamela Birch (guitar, vocals), Valerie Gell (guitar, vocals), and Sylvia Saunders (drums) got together in early 1962 under the name ...

The Casuals - Jesamine (mono-stereo, 1969)

Mp3\48\50 Mb

******

The Casuals were a British pop group from Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England. They are best known for their 1968 #2 UK hit, "Jesamine"

Members:

Howard Newcombe - guitar, trumpet, vocals
Alan Taylor - bass
Johnny Tebb - keyboards
Robert O'Brien - drums
***

Originally formed by John Tebb (piano & vocals) and Howard Newcombe (guitar), they added Don Fortune (drums) and Zenon Kawolski (bass), and became The Casuals in 1961. Upon turning professional in 1962 Fortune and Kawolski left, to be replaced by Mick Brey and Ian Good.

In 1965 they won the TV talent show Opportunity Knocks three times, leading to a recording contract with Fontana Records who issued their debut single "If You Walk Out", which was unsuccessful. In 1966 Alan "Plug" Taylor (bass) joined, and the band moved to Italy, where they signed with CBS in Milan to record Italian language covers of British hit singles. These included a #1 Italian single covering the Bee Gee's "Massachusetts". Good left in mid 1967, and was not replaced, but when Brey left later that year, Bob O'Brien joined on drums.

In 1968, whilst still in Italy, The Casuals switched to Decca Records, who released the single "Jesamine" which charted, so the band came back from Italy to promote the record, which reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart late in 1968. "Jesamine" was a cover version of The Bystanders' "When Jesamine Goes" issued in February 1968, and was co-written by Marty Wilde and Ronnie Scott (the Bystanders' manager, not the famous jazz player), under the pseudonym Frere Manston and Jack Gellar. The follow-up single, "Toy", (written by Chris Andrews) also made the Top 40, peaking at #30, They were also successful in Germany, where "Jesamine" hit #9, and "Toy" went to #27, but their first and only album, Hour World, was issued too late to capitalise on these successful singles. Chris Evans stood in for Newcombe when he was ill, and when Taylor and O'Brien left in 1970, Evans became a permanent member, along with Lloyd Courtney. None of the following four singles managed to chart, and the group was eventually dropped by Decca in 1971.

They signed to Parlophone in 1972 and released "Tara Tiger Girl", but the single went nowhere, nor did a single "American Jam" for which the band was renamed "American Jam Band", although, as both singles had the same B-side, the link was obvious. They left Parlophone for Dawn Records in 1974, but after their final single, "Good Times", flopped, they disbanded in 1976

The Grassroots - Let's Live For Today & Feelings (1967-68)

Mp3\105Mb

*******

The Grass Roots had a series of major hits -- most notably "Let's Live for Today," "Midnight Confessions," "Temptation Eyes," and "Two Divided by Love" -- that help define the essence of the era's best AM radio. Although the group's members weren't even close to being recognizable, and their in-house songwriting was next to irrelevant, the Grass Roots managed to chart 14 Top 40 hits, including seven gold singles and one platinum single, and two had hits collections that effortlessly went gold. The group's history is also fairly complicated, because there were at least three different groups involved in the making of the songs identified as being by "the Grass Roots."

The Grass Roots was originated by the writer/producer team of P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri... Read More...

*******

Let's Live For Today 1967

Released in the spring of 1967, Let's Live for Today was almost a musical throwback, steeped in folk-rock, which was fairly passé at the time, rather than psychedelia, but that's what makes it so appealing to listeners today. Listeners in 1967 were probably disappointed that there was nothing on the album as dramatic or memorable as the title track, but everything else is solid folk-rock with a pretty hard edge, which allows it to stand quite well alongside rival releases by the Beau Brummels, the Cryan Shames, the Blue Things, et al.

*******

Feelings  1968

The second album by this version of the Grass Roots -- who changed the spelling of their name to "Grassroots" here (and then changed it back two albums later) -- was a serious departure from its predecessor. Having reached the Top 10 with "Let's Live for Today" and made the Top 100 with the accompanying album -- all done under the direction of producers Steve Barri and P.F. Sloan, with a lot of outside musicians playing on them -- the group members were eager to flex their own musical muscles. The result was Feelings, a much less slick, less polished work but one that better reflected the quartet's own sensibilities. Next...

The Rattles - The Witch (1970)

REQUEST

Mp3\167Mb

The Rattles began their career in the same Hamburg scene where many Liverpool based UK rock groups got their start. They met The Beatles in 1962 and played alongside them on three occasions in Germany; at Munich, Essen and Hamburg.[1] In 1968 they recorded "The Witch", written by Hildebrandt, which was a hit in Germany.[1] The group was forced to split up owing to army service and other reasons and a new line-up formed, although Hildebrandt remained as songwriter and record producer.[1] They enjoyed sustained success in their own country through the 1960s, and recorded a new version of "The Witch" in 1970 which became their only international hit.

"The Witch" went Top 10 on the UK Singles Chart, in addition to hitting the Top 20 in Austria and on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. By April 1971, it had sold over one million copies, with the Rattles becoming the first German group to ever appear in the U.S. charts.
***

THE RATTLES, comprising: Millet, Bornhold, singer Edna Berjaranoand bassist Zappo Lungen - recorded the remaining unnoticed in Germany «sorokapyatku» The Witch, but thanks to radio, the group had an unexpected success in the United States and in England, where in 1970 reached the 2-nd point on the Top list !

****

В ноябре 1966 Ахим Райхель получил повестку и отбыл для прохождения службы в Бундесвер. Его место занял гитарист Фрэнк Досталь (Frank Dostal), но Райхель был для группы больше, чем одним из музыкантов. Популярность группы сразу пошла на спад и когда год спустя Райхель демобилизовался, он решил не возвращаться, а собрал новую группу WONDERLAND, в которой с ним играли Таррах, Досталь и известный позднее клавишник и аранжировщик Лес Хамфри.
Хильдебрандт и Кройцфельд набрали новую группу THE RATTLES: Бернд Шульц (Bernd Schulz; клавишные) и Герберт Борнхольд (Herbert Bornhold; барабаны), оба бывшие участники групп второго эшелона, но лучше от этого не стало, и тогда решил уйти Кройцфельд, место которого занял гитарист Фрэнк Милле (Frank Mille).
К 1968 из группы ушли Шульц с Хильдебрандтом, тем самым разорвав последнюю связь текущего состава группы с оригинальным. Новые THE RATTLES, в составе: Милле, Борнхольд, певица Эдна Бержарано (Edna Berjarano) и басист Заппо Лунген (Zappo Lungen) — записали оставшуюся незамеченной в ФРГ «сорокапятку» The Witch, но благодаря активной поддержке радио, принесла группе неожиданный успех в США и в Англии, где в 1970 достигла 2-й отметки в списках и стала миллион-селлером!

Anthology of The Rattles from JANCY

*****

One of the most successful, and certainly one of the most prolific, German rock groups of the '60s

Rattles were the preeminent German Beat band of the Sixties and Seventies. Their genealogical tree shows the backbone of the Beat scene in Hamburg at this time. Without a doubt they were the figurehead and the melting pot for musical talent. They were founded in 1960 by Achim Reichel, who was training to be a waiter, and Herbert Hildebrandt who was an apprentice panel beater.

Sound booster/Amplifier: bought from a junk dealer; microphone tripods: welded by Herbert; repertoire: songs copied from recorded radio shows (BFN, Chris Howland) and cover versions of rare recordings; style: Rhythm And Blues / Rock'n'Roll.

Here's how it started: Manfred Woitalla, who later owned the Star Palast chain, was the one to arrange the first decent-paying jobs for Rattles, as he did for the Phantom Brothers. By Friday April 13, 1962, when the Star-Club opened its doors, with the Beatles being one of the acts, Rattles had already gained a lot of experience from their performances in and around Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg. They were especially successful at the Thaeder in Bramfeld, but the stage of the beat Mecca remained out of reach for German bands. Only English and American musicians played there until Manfred Weissleder, the savvy owner of the Star-Club, had the idea to hold competitions for German groups. He wanted new attractions, and he wanted to draw in the fans of the local bands. The first competition was held on January 1, 1963.
