Yep, I know it's not Halloween, but we've always got time for zombies, any time of the year round these 'ere parts...and this one is top, a version of 'Zombie Jamboree' by Lord Jellico...originally titled 'Jumbie Jamboree' by Lord Intruder back in Tobago and about spirit's dancing 'back to back-belly to belly in a cemetary, the location of which changed depending on who was doing the song and where, Lord Jellico's is supposedly in New York's Van Courtland Park...and why not?
Great little obscure soul track on the Dial label..'I Am A Carpet' by Little Archie...whoever he was!
Yeah-bwoy...ol' skool rap that you either love or hate...I love it so much I've embedded the video from youtube for pleasure....great accents, great sound, great track...check it out.....
This is supposed to be one of the worst records ever made and can be found on many 'worst of' collections...I quite like it, especially the bits where everything drops out of time/tune...make your own mind up!
Back to sexuality and here comes this gem from the 'Let My People Come' theatre production of 1974. I guess it followed in the footsteps of 'Hair' and the like but was often condemned as pornographic, a view which creator Earl Wilson Jr strongly denies.
Almost forgot, yep, it's St Patrick's day...so here is lance with his unique take on 'Hat Me father Wore'...Paddy Miles indeed...
Another recording from the 50's of which I know little about...song poem? government propaganda? Who knows...maybe Matt Groening...whatever, great lyrics and a lot of fun...and at least he's happy!
One of my favourite 'girl group' tracks from one of Singapore's finest, The Tidbits. After winning a talent contest with 'I Believe' The Tids(Bits?) were offered a record contract and a pathway to both fame and fortune.
One of my favourite versions of a true classic. Words cannot express etc etc etc...but the chance to dream, as Eli does here..ah, that is the rub...
Another heart-breaker, this time a version of Red Sovine's(great name!) Little Rosa from one time Elvis Buddy and Rockabilly DJ Cliff Gleaves. Featuring perhaps the worst Italian? accent I've heard and a lyric to die for...literally...think I might just try this one the next time I'm in the florist...
Two takes on a thorny issue here with 'pornography' from the late lamented Bill Hicks and a gentle bit of advice from not quite so lamented but equally late Gene Marshall...'All You Need Is A Fertiel Mind'...true...
Something's come over me? Something's come over you...well yes, in the case of this track from the soft-core lesbo flick 'with a twist', Dr Jekyll & Mistress Hyde starring Misty Mundae.
Some of you with very keen hearing may well notice the hand (and other organs no doubt) of Bob Crewe here on this track from Lotti Goldens 'Motor-Cycle' album. What with the jazz inflections and 'soul vocal' it's a bitty affair that keeps me coming back for repeated listenings...just as she gets going it seems to drop into a 'jazzy phrase' or two...a lot like Lucifer indeed!
Well, there seems to have been lots of parties lately and as such I like to dig out this LP, Psychodelic Sounds and play Momma Love Tequile by Jr and His Soulettes.
