The Fire Escape – Psychotic Reaction

February 28, 2007 Garwood Pickjon 1

Not so much because of the songs themselves (8 out of 10 being covers), nor an originality of the sound neither, but The Fire Escape’s only release on GNP-Crescendo (1967) is still being regarded as […]

Food – Forever Is A Dream

February 27, 2007 Garwood Pickjon 0

In spite of it being considered for one quarter of “Capitol’s most-collectable psych LPs (along with Gandalf, The Common People and Euphoria)”, I wouldn’t call Food’s only album, released in 1969, an underrated classic of […]

Andrew – 33: The Best Of …

February 23, 2007 Garwood Pickjon 0

Having been doing so much research about some of the coolest bands/artists gracing the pop universe, it’s no wonder that scanning the back of Andrew Sandoval’s mind might’ve shown an archive of songs never written […]

Young Modern – How Insensitive

February 22, 2007 Garwood Pickjon 0

After last year’s expanded re-release of their 1979 Play Faster album on Aztec Music (reviewed elsewhere on these pages), and after being considered to be too-hip-to-be-hip for too long of a time, the self proclaimed […]

Albums

Baby Woodrose – Love Comes Down

February 17, 2007 Garwood Pickjon 0

Starting out as “a side project to the psychedelic stoner group”, Baby Woodrose has grown to become a main vehicle for making the band’s kaleidoscopic, mostly ‘60s-influenced, and not-so-stoned visions, receptive to a much wider […]

The Royal Purple – Transcendental Medication + Instant Analysis + Spearmint Experiment

February 16, 2007 Garwood Pickjon 0

Getting under the shade of The Royal Purple Umbrella almost three years late myself, I’m happy to suggest that this might be your own shelter from the moderndaze as well. What started out as an […]

Reg King – Reg King + Missing In Action

February 7, 2007 Garwood Pickjon 0

Having arrived just a bit late to shake some serious “action” on the POPISM list of “Best re-releases in 2006”, I consider these (sky)high contenders anyway … and I mean like POW!!! The first one […]

Tony Hazzard – Tony Hazzard Sings Tony Hazzard

February 6, 2007 Garwood Pickjon 0

With a “spookily similar career trajectory during the second half of the sixties”, to the one of Graham Gouldman, as put by Andy Morten in the accompanying liners, Tony Hazzard also happens to be among […]

Water School – Break Up With …

February 1, 2007 Garwood Pickjon 0

When it comes to the Americans and the British throwing each other’s influences back and forth, the debut album of this Baltimore bunch seems like a great example of the so called ping-pong effect, being […]

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.)

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!
