Albums

Kimberley Rew – Essex Hideaway

December 31, 2004 Garwood Pickjon 0

In my review of the Great Central Revisited album from 2002, I was hoping that it won’t take him THAT long to complete it’s follow up, and luckily enough, here he is, right on time, […]

The Pandamonium – The Unreleased Album

December 30, 2004 Garwood Pickjon 0

Late ‘60s Britsike fans will surely be familiar with the name of Pandamonium, through the trio of their CBS singles, with the first, Season Of The Witch, released as The Pandas, prior to Donovan’s own […]

The Onset – The Onset

December 29, 2004 Garwood Pickjon 0

After a couple of compilation appearances (mostly on their hometown based Viper label), here’s an album worth of unreleased tracks, recorded between ’89-’94, and all (co)written by The Onset front man and The La’s founding […]

Fresh Air – A Breath Of Fresh Air

December 28, 2004 Garwood Pickjon 0

As usual, the Radioactive label makes available another one of the so called “collector’s dreams”. Fresh Air’s only album is something that the late’60s psych fans are waiting to “breathe in” ever since it’s original […]

Albums

The Loot – Singles A’s And B’s

December 23, 2004 Garwood Pickjon 0

After hearing their complete output, the often used description of The Loot as “minor-league Troggs” seems ridiculous. Though they do come from the same Andover, Hempshire, neighborhood and there are some undeniable similarities brought in […]

Albums

Stalk-Forrest Group – St. Cecilia

December 22, 2004 Garwood Pickjon 0

Mainly known because of their later incarnation as Blue Oyster Cult , Stalk-Forrest Group’s unreleased (at the time) ‘69/’70 Elektra album, should be of interest to any West Coast psychead. Besides a couple of tunes […]

Albums

The Vestals – The Vestals

December 21, 2004 Garwood Pickjon 0

Throwing around the names of Jellyfish-and-related (The Grays, Falkner solo, Imperial Drag, Umajets …) had become a common thing in reviewing the contemporary power-pop genre, but it’s pretty rare actually, that the band lives up […]

The Badge – EP #1

December 20, 2004 Garwood Pickjon 0

The first of the three promotional EPs to come (hence the title), announcing the new album (to be titled ****) in 2005, shows the New York band still wearing their late’60s-post-mod-psych “badge”, along the productional […]

The Tricks – Lick Your Lips

December 20, 2004 Garwood Pickjon 0

Experiencing this CD might be a rather surprising one, starting from the very moment you notice the cover-art… from a distance, from where it might look like kinda like The Thrills’ debut. When you finally […]

Goldoolins – Goldoolins

December 15, 2004 Garwood Pickjon 0

For those of you familiar with the Mersey-flavoured Americana of the Israeli guy E.T. Doolin, released on his debut, self-titled CD last year, this one takes him, along with his wife Tadlik and a friend, […]

The Monkees "The Girl I Knew Somewhere" / "A Littl
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.)

The Undertones "You've Got My Number (Why Don't You Use It!)" / "Let's Talk About Girls" [Sire, SIR 4024], October 1979.

With a 'die-cut' picture sleeve (see second photo). Rarely has a disc's catalogue number been printed with larger text. You've got that number!
