IMPALER - Rise Of The Mutants CD 86 15 w Live 7th St. Entry, Minneapolis, MN 9-25-1984 w 6 DEMOs 83(2)-84-87-88-92

My old MN friend Dale T. from Otto's C.L. band was wearing one of their T-shirts in a meta picture a week ago and so went looking for the 'Shock Rock' song I had recorded off the radio 40 years ago or so and when I looked on discogs for something with that song found thee last copy of this Italian newer release from my blessed 7th St. Entry that I have seen my best ever shows at as part of First Ave club.

KENT BOWMAN - NO TALK STINK! LP 69


 Ha ha, I pulled this Hawaiian comedy album from the Goodwill stacks and decided to reward the rip to Stinky for two good comments last week since he is always giving out 'No Prize Certificates' this seemed like a nice reward for helping me.  Per Discogs:  Real Name: Kent Hamilton Bowman

Profile:  Born on September 2, 1923 in Hilo on the Big Island of Hawai'i, Bowman was, according to the "No Talk Stink" liner notes, an ethnic blend of French, Hawaiian, Scottish, and English. He was a graduate of 'Iolani High School and enrolled in the military during World War II. Upon returning, he worked with some of the top businesses in Honolulu and earned such roles as vice president and general manager, roles that he would keep until he retired in 1990.

For fun, he used his comedic talents over the radio airwaves with Hula Records' founder Don McDiarmid, Jr., which lead to him developing routines and re-interpreting popular nursery rhymes into the Hawaiian "pigdin English" dialect. While he stopped making recordings after 1969, he would continue to do public performances using the characters he brought to his records, all while maintaining his proper day jobs. He did make one last recording in 1998, reviving his old K.K. Ka'umania character, his first and only album recorded digitally.

After retirement, he and his family moved to Las Vegas. He died there on December 20, 2007 at the age of 84.

William "Wee Gee" Howard - Hold On (To Your Dreams) LP 80 w Come To Me 7 75 w video & bonus


 Since I started getting some old compilation tracks I recorded off the radio, I knew I needed this one plus any videos I could find as he was the dynamic and loud vocalist for The Dramatics which I have reposted below the link.  In my youtube search to get all I could, I saw that The Chi-Lites had done a version of this famous title track and someone also made a sing along and another version of the song spliced into his Children of the Ghetto by Phillip Bailey.  Two more gruff vocalists this week to go with as well (Eddie Hinton & Rev. Isaac Douglas) for another "Big Three" grouping.  Enjoy!

The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band - Volume 1 CD 66 w Volume 2 CD 67 w Part One CD 67 w Volume 3 - A Child's Guide To Good & Evil CD 68 w Where's My Daddy CD 69 w Markley, A Group CD 69


REPOST Request:  Per Discogs:  American psychedelic rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California in 1965. Published their last album as Markley, then disbanded in 1969.  Some members were previously in The Rogues.

The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band was a bizarre combination of three well-heeled teenagers (brothers Dan and Shaun Harris and their school mate Michael Lloyd), and an even wealthier, thirty-something attorney called Bob Markley. Markley secured the group a recording deal with Reprise Records, where they made a series of strange records. While they scored no hits for the label, the band's most famous composition was 'Smell Of Incense', which was covered to great effect by Southwest F.O.B., among others. The song was composed by Markley with a later addition to the band, guitarist Ron Morgan (who later played with The Electric Prunes and a very early edition of Three Dog Night).

THE SILKIE - You've Got To Hide Your Love Away LP 65


 Great find here of a copycat band from Goodwill which I could adequately rip for sampling here via two carts used.  Cool info about them via Discogs:  The Silkie were an English folk music group. Their name derived from an Orcadian song The Great Silkie of Sule Skerry, which they sometimes performed. They were briefly considered to be the English equivalent of Peter, Paul and Mary, with their common repertoire of Bob Dylan songs, and the original Australian folk group, The Seekers. The original quartet were Hull University students and consisted of Sylvia Tatler (vocals), Mike Ramsden (guitar and vocals), Ivor Aylesbury (guitar and vocals) and Kevin Cunningham (double bass). The group received help from John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison to record their cover version of "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" on 9 August 1965 at the IBC Studios at about the same time as The Beatles' own version was being released on their album Help! The song charted in the UK at # 28 and also reached # 10 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in the same year. John Lennon produced while Paul McCartney played the guitar and George Harrison kept time by tapping his guitar and also playing the tambourine. When the recording was completed, Lennon was so pleased with it that he rang Brian Epstein, played it over the phone to him, and told him that they had just recorded a Number 1 hit. The Silkie had been scheduled to tour the United States in December 1965 and had even been booked to appear on both the Ed Sullivan Show and American Bandstand, but were unable to obtain the necessary visas and work permits so the tour was subsequently cancelled. Two further singles released in 1966 failed to make the UK or U.S. charts and The Silkie finally split up.

BARBARA PENNINGTON & TEMPEST - Second Thoughts LP 81 82 w The Barbara Pennington Band - st 7 81 w Beowulf - 7 w Tempest - st LP 76 79

REPOST and ADD ON:  Adding their Tempest album right above from you tube someone had posted a vinyl rip from the 1979 European later pressing of the debut from 1976.  I tell ya that Houston scene sure had some buried gems like Bobby Doyle, etc. etc. What I wrote last time:  A big thanks to Kostzilla for suggesting this old favorite performer for her as she has quite good taste in music.  The live song at the end of side one called, 'Lonely Man' is a top live tune for me with her shouted loud vocals that deserve to be turned up!!!!
