Title: Jack Alive! Year: Recordings made in late 70's. Original album released in Rare limited edition CD featuring most of her recordings made for Elektra in the 50's and some recordings done for Warner Brothers in the 60's.

I recently acquired a copy of the ultra rare Japanese CD reissue of this already ultra rare album. Source: CD of tracks: Search This Blog. Wednesday, December 24, It's Christmas! Have a very merry one Posted by Hannes A. Saturday, November 22, The Rubinoos Turn 45! The Rubinoos' goofy, Monkees-like humor is also never too far from the precedings, which might be one of the reasons why "Earth 1" was also recorded for their children's album!

The wheel isn't exactly being invented here but who cares. Only unnecessary cover "Black is Black" and novelty children's? Four years later and we're up to date with the brand-spanking-new Rubinoos album "45".

Off the bat, it's obviously not quite as energy-driven as its predecessor. The guitars have been turned down a tad, there's balladry a plenty and the Rubes' love of early pop styles such as Doo Wop is very well served indeed - especially in the sole cover here which comes in the form of Lou Christie's "Rhapsody in the Rain" their cover of Christie's "If My Car Could Only Speak" from a good decade back is excellent and far exceeds the original IMHO.

But it wouldn't be a proper Rubinoos album without the pure pop hooks and here they are in abundance. Unfortunately there don't seem to be any videos to songs from the album on the otherwise almighty YouTube, so you, much like I did, just have to head over to www.

And yes, the T-shirt's very comfy. And just in case you aren't entirely convinced of the Rubinoos proper '70s Teen Pop credentials, here are a few minor, near and non-hits they scored during the latter part of that fabulous decade.

Update, February 10th I received the following e-mal from Rubinoo Tommy Dunbar yesterday:. Thanks for the nice review of our recent recordings, glad you liked them! I only wanted to mention that our drummer Donn Spindt has been with us since He was off doing other things for a moment in the 80s, but he's been with us almost all of that time.

Our bass player Al Chan has been with us since He's the NEW guy! Sunday, October 26, Alvin Stardust R. Well, to make a long story short, we lost Alvin this past week. And, according to all accounts, he was an all around professional and a nice guy to boot.

He will be sorely missed. While researching the Child discography a couple of years ago I made the personally unnerving discovery that their apparently misleadingly entitled "The First Album" was in fact their second.

Disturbing as that was, it wasn't the first time I had come across such blatant And even more astoundingly, in both cases the reputable German Hansa Records label was at fault. And to add insult to injury it was the second album of his to bear the title "It's a Game", the first one being the BCR's magnum opus.

But let's get back to that "lost" very first, eponymous Child album. Issued only in Germany in by a little something called Honeybee Records, but manufactured and distributed by the small European giant Bellaphon. And having previously only heard the other two Child albums, the aforementioned "The First Album" , as well as "Total Recall" , it's nothing short of a revelation!

Having had their first couple of singles in the U. Which seems to have brought them in search of something bigger and better abroad. And seemingly very rightly so, since "Child" surpasses its successors on all artistic fronts, thank-you-very-much! It's grittier, better produced, better played and has better songs on it. We thought we could beat it out in the US. Not quite! We thought it could hit in the US. Barry Butler was originally supposed to be in the group but left before the first release in But he helped form the sound we used.

Those two songs were also among the first California demos. I released "Everything" as the closing track on my solo "Jangleholic" CD in It didn't chart, unfortunately. I went searching in the Village Voice under the guise of "auditioning" for a band that was advertising. That was Tony Pernice and Richie Tuske. Their ad read: "Wally Bryson, where are you? Needless to say, it was a great match up. I brought the guys to the attention of Laurie Records and we got working on the medley.

As you can hear, it turned out to be a pretty exciting record. I arranged the track with Gene. By that time, all tunes that California recorded were arranged t my home studio before going up to Minot to record final takes. This gave us a very clear idea of what to expect in the studio when the clock was running. Things evolved from there as the record took off fairly quickly across the country on radio. It swept to 1 in several markets and, as you may know, Dick Clark gave it an airing on American Bandstand.

There was even a story in Billboard about it. That was a pretty cool show. I played a Rickenbacker doubleneck at that time. In fact, the whole band used Ricks and matching Vox Amps. Bob Miller stayed on board on Drums. Gigi had a very interesting and unique voice. I loved the chorus hook: "He's Almost You But he's not you! An interest cross of pop, rock and big band arrangement were the chief highlight of that release. At that point, the book closed on California.

One of these days, EMI who owns it all will do a compilation, I hope. And when they do, I'll remaster it if they're interested. See you in September. Labels: les fradkin george cameron steve martin left banke california the beach boys the beatles pop.

The song is "You're the Best" and it's kind of Beach Boys-esque. Stick around to the chorus and it pays off. One thing about these guys is that they are soooo cute. I'm not gay, but c'mon look how pretty they are. Undeniable--and i'll leave it at that. Thank you, Eric Carmen. Check out my th video on youtube softsoundpop. It's a pretty bouncy tune, kind of has a Badfinger "Come and Get it" with just a bit more caffeine. Also a good number of "la la's" thrown in there. In fact, I can't help but hear a little of the Banana Splits theme song after the piano intro.

Tell me you hear it to, or i'll have to give up life. Everyone looks bad in any mug shot, especially if they were drinking, and it was kind of messed up that the most attention he's gotten in the last 20 years isn't his CD or the Raspberries reunion, but his appearance in the pic. Plus, most sites printed something along the lines of "Remember that guy who sang "Hungry Eyes", well he got arrested for DUI.

This guy wrote "Go All the Way", "Ecstacy", everything else. The Who sometimes gets credit for the creation of the genre; other times it's Badfinger. But it's most assuredly the Raspberries. I go on the record right here and now until someone convinces me with striking evidence that will floor me enough to make me change my opinion. Look i like the Who and Badfinger, but there's a certain lack of consistency in their sound that excludes them from the title of "Kings of Power Pop" I just made that up now.

Grade: A. Frank Potenza For Joe Capri This album has a really cool backstory. In , the great jazz guitarist Joe Pass recorded For Django , a tribute to one of his heroes, guitarist Django Reinhardt. Four decades after Pass recorded For Django , Potenza gathered the same rhythm section that played on that album and made a new tribute album in the same vein, featuring several Pass originals, a Django tune, and a bunch of standards.

This is a warm and beautiful recording by a quartet of major talents. You are currently browsing the Music Media Monthly blog archives for September, RSS - Posts. Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.
