Scaffold - Live At The Queen Elizabeth Hall 1968 (ACMEM63CD) Due In: 30/01/2006 People may laugh disparagingly now, but at the time, in 1968, they laughed in appreciation: and with good reason. The Scaffold were one of the most interesting things in British pop- the combination of Mike McGear (Paul McCartney's brother) Scouse beat poet Roger McGough, and enterpreneur John Gorman (the one that looked like a cross between a bank manager and a pervert) was one of the most unusual ones that had hitherto existed, and their stage show, fusing satirical sketches with music hall bawdiness and novelty pop with surrealism, was one of the best one could see back then. It's all been taken out of context now, of course: songs like 'Thank U Very Much' which appears here, as well as their other hits like 'Lily The Pink' make sense only when appreciated as part of the absurdist revue that the band purveyed. Now we can appreciate it on this fine CD, where their mixture of poetry, pop and pisstaking (particularly adept on 'Old Folks' and 'Son Of Lent') flows as seamlessly as the Mersey itself. A good introduction to an often misunderstood band.

"Revered by Stones fans worldwide as one of the best unreleased gems from the 60s!"
"This fine piece of 1960s verite 'rockumentary' directed by Peter Whitehead is an astounding 'fly on the wall' look at the Rolling Stones on tour in Ireland in 1965. Whitehead manages to create an astonishing level of intimacy with the Stones at the height of 'Satisfaction' era mania. Brian Jones' narcissism is clearly visible, Jagger and Richards play up for the cameras and even Watts and Wyman get into the spirit of the times. Fantastic behind-the-scenes, interviews with fans and the band. Footage of the band off stage, hanging out and traveling to gigs" Directed, photographed and edited by Peter Whitehead.
Released December 5th
Re: The Kinks!!! Автор:Mr. ZeroДата: 02.11.05 18:09:50
Dave is quick to point his (middle?) finger at acts he feels ripped off the Kinks' music. One of his main pet peeves is the Door's "Hello, I Love You" which, melodically and structurally, does bear a similarity to "All Day and All of the Night."
"That one is the most irritating of all of all of them," he fumed. "The other night I did a show where I played "All Day and All of the Night" and stuck in a piece of 'Hello, I Love You.' There was some response, there were a few smiles. But I've never understood why nobody's ever said anything about it. You can't say anything about the Doors. You're not allowed to."
ИЗ ИНТЕРВЬЮ ДЭЙВА ДЭВИСА(1999):
‘All Day And All Of The Night’ was later copied by the Doors, as ‘Hello I love You’. Why didn’t you sue?
It was so outrageously obvious and our music publishers wanted to sue them and we saw lawyers, but Ray and I decided it was a silly idea. Funny, I met someone in L.A. who has access to some early Doors tapes and he says they did a version of ‘Hello I love You’ with heavy guitar in it and they must have realised it was too blatant a rip-off so they did it again with a more keyboard-oriented feel. I’d love to be able to get a hold of that recording!
С ДРУГОЙ СТОРОНЫ:
1. it was 1968 before Doors secured another number 1 single with the infectious "Hello I Love You." The song was also the group's first major UK hit, although some of this luster was lost following legal action by Ray Davies of the Kinks, who claimed infringement of his own composition, "All Day And All Of The Night." The action coincided with the Doors' first European tour.
2. Ray Davies filed legal action against The Doors claiming that "Hello, I Love You" was stolen from this song.
3. The music is similar to The Kinks' "All Day And All Of The Night." The Doors had to pay royalties from the British single to The Kinks after Ray Davies sued them.
С ТРЕТЬЕЙ СТОРОНЫ - вот кусок их on-line интервью Манзарека (1996):
Вопрос: I heard about the Kinks suing the Doors because they thought that you ripped Hello I love you off them. Is this true? ...and if so what happened?
Манзарек: NO I talked to Ray Davies and he said cool mate It sounds sort of like us but go ahead and use it, said Ray Davies
Elvis' Record Collection to Be Released Автор:Mr. ZeroДата: 31.10.05 15:32:20
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- From Chuck Berry to Bobbie Gentry, the King liked them all.
Graceland and Elvis Presley Enterprises have cataloged Presley's record collection with 1,000 albums and singles filling up a 24-page list.
Elvis Presley Enterprises, which owns the rights to all things Elvis in the United States, allowed only a cursory look at the list.
A partial copy of the list will be released this month as a perk for members of the Elvis Presley Collector's Club, formed by Graceland as an insider's view of the King's things.
"He used to say, `I can appreciate the best of everything,' " says Elvis friend and disk jockey George Klein, who once asked Elvis why he liked opera stars Mario Lanza and Enrico Caruso.
There is only one opera recording (by Lanza) in the Elvis collection, which Graceland spokesman Todd Morgan says "leans heavily to black rhythm and blues and to black and white gospel."
Graceland archivists cataloged the recordings by title and last names of artists, so exact numbers in each category aren't readily available. That's because many of the groups and solo artists who began as gospel singers crossed over into pop and rhythm and blues and later returned to their gospel roots.
But Elvis' friends said they did not need to see a list to know that gospel recordings were his favorites and the music he most often played for friends.
"He loved close harmony," says Red West, a former member of the Memphis Mafia, the nickname given to Presley's closest group of friends.
He says Elvis' favorite groups were the Harmonizing Four and Golden Gate and his favorite gospel singers included Jimmy Jones, Jake Hess (who sang with the Statesmen and later formed the Imperials) and Mahalia Jackson.
It was that close harmony that also made him a big fan of the Ink Spots and The Platters, especially love songs, says West.
Rock bands are a rarity in the collection. There were FOUR BEATLES ALBUMS and albums by Chicago and the Turtles, but West says Elvis preferred soloists.
West, a songwriter, once tried to turn Elvis on to the song "Green, Green Grass of Home," but Elvis wasn't interested. When Tom Jones recorded it, Elvis was returning to Memphis on a tour bus.
"When we got within range of Memphis, he kept stopping every few minutes to call George Klein (at WHBQ radio) and got him to play it every few minutes from Little Rock to Memphis," West recalled.
Jones and Presley later became good friends, often visiting each other backstage after their Las Vegas shows.
There are relatively few female singers in the record collection, but Elvis' friends say his favorites included Anne Murray (for her "clear and distinctive voice"), Vicki Carr ("It Must Be Him"), Jackson, Della Reese, Dionne Warwick, Bobbie Gentry, Leslie Uggams, Timi Yuro, the Andrews Sisters, the McGuire Sisters and his former backup group, The Sweet Inspirations.
His record collection includes a duet album between Memphis father and daughter Rufus and Carla Thomas.
Elvis, the rocker and balladeer, was not a fan of jazz, but he had an album by Duke Ellington, "Newport 1958," in the collection. There was also only a small sampling of classical music - Brahms' "Symphony No. 1," Beethoven's "Konzert Fur Klavier Und Orchestra No. 5" and Mozart's "Requiem Mass in D Minor."

Выпуск нового EP лидера Kinks в США намечен на День благодарения (24 ноября). На диске будет пять композиций, среди которых — две версии песни Thanksgiving Day, записанной в Новом Орлеане незадолго до печально известного ранения Дэвиса грабителями в начала прошлого года. Часть доходов от продаж будет направлена в фонд помощи Новому Орлеану.
Согласно информации представителей компании V2, обладающей в данный момент правами на издание записей Дэвиса, и эти, и остальные песни, поименованные как “some B-side tracks", не войдут затем в новый альбом Рэя Other People's Lives, планируемая дата выхода которого на данный момент — "early part of '06" [6 февраля].
Песню Thanksgiving Day можно будет скачать на iTunes уже в первую неделю ноября. 2 ноября Дэвис планирует выпустить пресс-релиз с информацией о новой песне, EP и альбоме. 4 ноября радиостанции получат промо-копии песни, 7 ноября — весь EP. 21 ноября должна начаться рассылка промо-копий альбома.
Кроме того, 24 ноября планируется появление Рэя в передаче Late Night with Conan O’Brien, а в марте будущего года — турне по США. Перспективы воссоединения Kinks, видимо, в данный момент для него интереса не представляют.
Напомню, что 29 сентября увидел свет еще один EP Рэя Дэвиса — “The Tourist”. Доступен и EPK.
P.S. Люди, ожидающие альбома Дэвиса уже n-ое количество лет, понимают, что все сроки и tracklisting-и исключительно условны ;(
Paul McCartney is among the guests on Stevie Wonder's new album, A Time To Love, playing guitar and singing on the title track. McCartney, who had a Number One hit with Wonder in 1982 with "Ebony And Ivory," told us that he was happy to be part of Wonder's project. "Stevie just said, I talked to him and we were talking about things like Live 8 and stuff. But he just was interested in me doing this track on his album, so he sent it over and I played, and did some stuff on it. So that was nice 'cause, you know, I admire him. He's such a great guy, and it's an honor for me to do something on his album."

2: SergeSB Опять "вопрос на засыпку" про софт? Я вот в толк взять не могу - неужели так трудно представить себе, что есть люди у которых все программы куплены легально? Или такая мысль для современных россиян невместима?
Re: The Move Автор:Mr. ZeroДата: 19.10.05 15:51:00
Редчайшие записи The Move были “спасены для народа” благодаря поклонникам группы.
“Ацетат” с четырьмя песнями был замечен на аукционе eBay и в результате выкуплен представителями группы за 2171,77 фунта стерлингов (первоначальная цена составляла 30 фунтов).
Надписи на диске и обложке, сделанные рукой покойного вокалиста The Move Карла Уэйна, позволяют сделать вывод, что эти песни никогда не издавались ранее, что все они написаны Роем Вудом и что спеты они разными участниками группы (Кеффордом, Уэйном, Бартоном и Вудом).
You're The One I Need (“a rip-roaring R&B/freakbeat tune, with tough guitar feedback”) I Know Your Face (“a more poppy, romantic number with great harmonies”) The Fugitive (“a Dylanesque pop song”) Winter Song (“a typical Roy Wood melodic pop tune”)
