James Last - Question

Yeah, it's a Moody Blues cover. And a strange one at times. Jim Gordon on drums, last heard in these parts on this one.

Check Doug Payne's liner notes for further explication.

'Shangri-La Wrecker...'

Tobin Sprout: The Last Man Well Known To Kingpin

A lyric I often confuse with Shangri-La Records: finest music store in Memphis.

Robert Wyatt - Biko

Thanks, as ever, to the T4T show for the turn-on. Really nice version of this.

Available on: EPs
It's You single

The Maytals: It's You

Single released the same year LBJ signs anti-poverty measure totaling nearly $1 billion. What's changed?

Monkey Man lp

Toots & The Maytals: Monkey Man

Love the guitar on this one. First heard this track after checking out The "King" Kong compilation from a Memphis library and recording everything to a Maxwell. Now many years later wish I never returned it. I'm sure the vinyl ended up at one of their yearly library sales and someone walked away extremely happy.

Byron Lee & The Dragonaires - Julianne

Claude Larson - Mosquito

...from a library record so rare, not even the great Paul Durango has it; yet this jam has been lovingly re-issued by afro-funky records.

Notes: "African orchestra-sounds including original African instruments recorded in South Africa. Original African drums played by members of the Xosa-Tribe, recorded in Cape Town South Africa."

Claude bringing some Rimsky-Korsakov-type styles to the table on this one.

David Byrne - Dinosaur

Hamilton Bohannon - South African Man

Hamilton plies his hypnotic trade on this 9/4 mesmerisation experience. Thanks to zip chim for saving me from the tragedy of possibly not hearing this. Observations:

1. The bass player (which is who? Fernando Saunders, I guess?) is going fucking mental. Check out when he varies his line slightly at 1:50. Kaboom.

2. The dude (or lady) on the guiro is scraping every 4 beats, while the song is in 9, so, if my calculations are correct, they re-synchronize every 36 beats.

3. Hamilton Bohannon was Stevie Wonder's drummer from '67 to '69. Does this mean that for a time Stevie's rhythm section consisted of Hamilton Bohannon and Michael Henderson? Oh gosh.
