The Stoneage Hearts – Stephanie

February 26, 2003 Garwood Pickjon 0

The Stoneage Hearts are something of a moderndaze version of that good ol’ “creamy”, powerhouse super-group trio concept. In this case, it’s the Australian power-pop/garage scene’s all-star line up, consisting of Mickster on drums (Finkers, […]

Brendan Benson – Lapalco

It’s been quite a long wait since Benson’s last record, his debut album One Mississippi (Virgin). Digging out from under the weight of his multinational masters seems to have taken an inordinate amount of time. […]

The Embrooks – Jack

Handsome Devil – Love And Kisses From The Underground

February 17, 2003 David M. Snyder 0

Hmmm, it now only takes one Platinum album to get a multinational-funded label deal. Lit’s Dirty Martini presents another slightly scruffy Punk-Pop band. They have a good pop-sense, a way with harmonies and a tight […]

The Wylde Mammoths "Help That Girl" / "Nothing I Can Do" // "You" / "In My Lonely Room" [Crypt, CR-45-3], 1988.

7 inches of pleasure to start yet another different weekend. Take care.

Gary Valentine "The First One" / "Tomorrow Belongs To You" [Beat Records, Beat 001], 1978.

Great solo release from Gary Valentine, mostly known as the bassist of Blondie 1975-1977. He wrote three big favourite songs "X-Offender", "(I'm Always Touched by Your) Presence Dear" and "Scenery" which did not make the cut for the band's debut album. Oh, dear.

The Monkees "The Girl I Knew Somewhere" / "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You" [RCA Victor, 66-1004], 1967.

Swedish release. Notice that on the cover Michael Nesmith song "The Girl I Knew Somewhere" has been chosen as "a-side". This change was also done in Germany with similar cover, though the Swedish release has a different rear (second picture). As far as I know, this was one of two the Monkees singles where the record was made in Sweden.

This was the first released/recorded song containing instruments performed by the band members. Originally recorded with Nesmith on lead vocals, but a later version was recorded with Micky Dolenz replacing Nesmith.

The Stone Roses "Elephant Stone" / "The Hardest Thing In The World" [Silvertone, ORE 1], October 1988.

Nice b-side.

(Just noticed, for some reason, the back was not included with the upload . 😔 Original pressing with catalogue number (ORE 1) written in black. The reissue (1990) had the number in red.)
