Linda Gayle - "Maggie's Farm"
(accidental repeat of the post above)
discussing Shider with a friend and he said "Funkadelic is the most underrated Rock band of all time"..I had to agree, one of the greatest of all time but does not get enough props in the rock world
Here's a song I've enjoyed over the years that I've never seen get propped:
Peace,
Big Stacks from Kakalak
Once I was listening to a talk show hosted by a local film critic...the topic of discussion was "greatest rock bands of all time"...somebody dared to mention Parliament-Funkadelic and the guy basically laughed it off..."aw, they're just a SOUL group" or some such foolishness...hell, even when they were discoed out, the P-Funk empire brought a lot of rock to the table...
Anyway, I was pretty laid back tonight watching the Red Sox game, so I took some time and recorded a few favorite/interesting rock 45's from my boxes to share. Begin the blogging:
pretty killer obscure Kim Fowley production from 1975 - glammy bar rock with a nice seasonal theme and hot guitar breaks.
the Troggs rule all. awesome somewhat later release from them, style change from 1966 negligable.
let's get mellow with some nice stoner pop that kicks in for a minute+ heavy guitar break in the middle. scarce release out of New England, as far as I could find out. flip is a good hard rocker, too.
perhaps the crown jewel of this posting, at least, the most ungoogleable and raw track here. I had a couple of trashed copies of this NJ headsmasher, but recently found this clean dupe in the same warehouse stock. I was pretty excited, to say the least.
utimately not really a "rock" song (those strings that come in pretty much kill the track) and not even a very good version (Bobby Comstock's vocal range limitations become clearer and clearer as the track drags on) but still, it's a southern rock cover of a Stevie classic, and the intro is pretty hot schitt ... if only it lived up to that intro ...
jesus christ dude. go easy on us. that shit kills it
Hard-rockish versions of old R&B/soul chestnuts like "Harlem Shuffle" and "I Thank You."
Except that they didn't have any "pop" strings and horns in the way. (Not that Wes "Partridge Family" Farrell or Bell Records were ever famous for hard rock...)
b/w
The bridge sucks but I like the riff.
Yeah, I kind of like that Joshua record. Vocals by Dick Dodd of the Standells, produced by Standells svengali Ed Cobb.
this is like my fav rock 45 ever now.... i have friends saying play that Poopsie track... you got more of this? my copy i thought was clean, but if u got more, pleez lemme know!
I've posted this before, but this might be a more appropriate thread:
Danish, hairy, loud and live.
that Gasolin is the business!
Yeah it took me over a year to find a copy of that Mushroom and to add insult to injury I ended up paying too much for it from a dude in Spain and we all know mail from Spain takes a year and a day....but Im glad I finally have it, a gem in the rock 45 box...
WANTLIST EXPANSION
Be preapared to spend hours on this guy's channels. Loads and loads and loads of rare Euro fuzz.
Also, I must see these guys when I get a chance (also from aforementioned channel)
Right around the 1:00 mark. So good.
but the guitar in this is hard as fuck
