JULIE DRISCOLL, BRIAN AUGER & THE TRINITY - STREETNOISE 2LP 69

NOSTALGIC PSYCHEDELIC LIST:  Told you I would premier one from this list as the other two got bumped for main post that I am doing every week in August from a youtube reel about Oddities, Novelty and Nostalgic psychedelic music groups--this one another jazz rock band like CCS that started this whole series.  I missed this album full circle though I had been trying to keep the Auger releases when I saw them at stores.  Again, not sure which song was singled out as there a quite a few on this double album that rock well!  Not much on Discogs but here is about the great female singer: Real Name: Julie Tippetts née Julie Driscoll               Profile: English singer and actress.

Born: 8 June 1947, London, England, UK. Married Keith Tippett in 1970 and thereafter performed as Julie Tippetts.(Adopting Keith Tippett's original birth name) .

Yeah it's ma birthday today so lovin' all these posts, ENJOY!

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!!!!

PAUL HARVEY - OUR LIVES, OUR FORTUNES, OUR SACRED HONOR LP 75

 Well I knew this collectin' thaaang would evolve to trace back to my very first regular radio/or TV shows and it was Paul Harvey on the kitchen AM radio (and later Radio K) that we always had growing up in MN.  It was during my AM kindergarten class when I walked home to mom's yummy homemade bread lunches.  She would be ready for me in the kitchen and after lunch then before my nap I would watch Rocky & Bullwinkle Show and then Underdog before the nap.  But Paul was always on during lunch and got me on the path of caring and media interest.  Here's info on Discogs:  Real Name: Paul Harvey Aurandt Profile: American radio broadcaster. Born September 4, 1918; died February 28, 2009.

Oh yeah, my friend Nathan Nothin' mentioned last week on his blog his catch phrase on one of his posts:  now you know "the rest of the story!".

Hickory Wind - st CD 69 -cc

COLLECTOR'S CHOICE:  This would also fit into the August theme but too obscuro like most in this series.  Per Discogs:  US late 60s psych band from Evansville, IN.

Two members had previously been in the Kentucky-based Rouges. The album was released by local label Gigantic Records. Some sources report 100 copies pressed, but the band remembers there being many more than that, though the bulk of the pressing seems to have disappeared. Their only album, combined with the fact that the music is atmospheric psychedelic rock with a rural/country flavor, has made it an expensive collector’s item. Comparisons to two west coast bands, Moby Grape and Kak, have been made. According to the band, they played few live shows, and upon breaking up, morphed into B.F. Trike, without Sonny Prentice and Carl Rodenberg

Sonny Prentice (lead guitar)

Alan Jones (rhythm guitar, bass)

Carl Rodenberg (keyboards)

Bobby Strehl (drums)

Mike McGuyer (harp, guitar)

Bob Carpenter - Silent Passage CD 75

Here is a fine country rock suggestion from Josef (Austria).  Per Discogs:  Real Name: Robert Carpenter  Profile: Canadian singer and songwriter, born March 12, 1945 near North Bay, Ontario. Died in 1995.  Bob Carpenter came close to being a major star. He received a glowing mention in Rolling Stone in 1970, recorded an album for Warner Brothers and had his songs recorded by Emmylou Harris, Billy Joe Shaver and others. But Silent Passage, his lone solo album recorded in 1974, was pressed and ready to ship when contract negotiations shelved the record indefinitely. By the time things were resolved it was the end of the 70's singer-songwriter boom and Warner had moved on. The album saw release by the Canadian label Stony Plain in 1984 but by that time Bob had all but moved on from the careerist aspects of the music business. He died in 1995 and the last decade of his life was spent in religious devotion. He joined a Buddhist monastery shortly before his death.

The Twisted Twisters 11 vinyl: Chubby Checker - For Twisters Only LP 60 & Limbo Party LP 62 w Joey Dee & His Starliters - Doin' The Twist @ The Peppermint Lounge LP 61 w King Curtis Combo - Arthur Murray's Music For Dancing The Twist LP 61 w The Bob Scott Six - Music To Use The Trim-Twist By LP w The Candymen - The Twist By The Candymen LLP 62 w The Crystals - Twist Uptown LP 68 w Vol. 3 LP 62-65 w The Raiders - Twistin' The Country Classics LP 62 w VA - Twistin' Time LP 82 w The Twisters - All Night LP 82

REPOST and ADD ON:  Only two new but putting these all together in one post for the first time.  The two new rips are the Twistin' The Country Classics and Joey Dee.  Been a decade or more since I renewed the old Twisters band link which is a very cool album from 1982 when they made them with half a side live for raw energy IMO.  I guess I won't say a bunch more but use what I wrote last time to get the compilation bands which I know have a lot covered with their own albums:  This is the definitive 'Twist' record to have as it came out in the 1980's and is well studied on the best from Chubby Checker, Joey Dee And The Starliters, Hank Ballard and the Midnighters, Dee Dee Sharp, Dovella and Bobby Freeman who does the classic 'C'mon And Swim'--such an intuitive song for dance!

JOHNNY HALLYDAY - Rivière... Ouvre Ton Lit LP 69

NOSTALGIC PSYCHEDELIC:  Well, I guess this theme keeps getting bumped as main post but more weeks left in August so I'll roll with it for now.  I don't remember which song was singled out in the youtube top ten reel that I am basing this series on, something like the title plus Oddities word I remember and maybe even novelty like last weeks post.  On that subject, I was listening to the other post last week in this series by Oh You Kids band and finally decided to pull it like building 7 and went all in on the band buying NM media copies of both their albums (not on youtube) for a proper rip over all the crackle.  I bull through these posts every weekend and sometimes keep doing the fast cuts I do because I can--not hearing the overall sound so much but did hear how bad it was on my walk man this past weekend so made the decision.  Anyways, that kind of ragtime really brings me back to the music from our old local pizza parlour Skakeys and Ciceros!  It's in my blood so had to have good copies and should be in time for my birthday this year so giving myself a treat!!!  Here is his quite remarkable Discogs write up and I am only scratching the surface with his releases:  Real Name:  Jean-Philippe Léo Smet

Profile:  French singer, songwriter, performer and actor, born June 15, 1943 in Paris, died December 5, 2017 in Marnes-la-Coquette, Île-de-France.

He was married to the french singer Sylvie Vartan from April 12, 1965 until November 4, 1980.  Father of David Hallyday

As of November 2011, he had sold more than 100 million records, and earned 40 gold records, 22 platinum records, 3 diamond records and 8 Victoires de la Musique (the French equivalent of the Grammy). 28 million spectators have attended his concerts over more than 100 tours in France and Europe. However, like most French singers and musicians, his international career never really took off. Despite some tours abroad in the 1960s and 1970s, and a concert in Las Vegas in 1996, Hallyday is virtually unknown to the public outside the French speaking world.

He recorded some 1000 songs, including a little more than a hundred self-penned titles and around 250 French adaptations of original songs in English. Especially in the beginning of his career, during the early 1960s, Hallyday built his career mostly on French adaptations of songs by his American idols.

JOY SONG - KINGDOM LIVING LP

Reposting this today 8-11-2026 but with the missing covers added as FUNKMYROCK found the cover and back cover and sent them in!!  I was missing those and it is not on Discogs or Ebay so I posted this week without cover.  Now cover, back cover and center labels on vinyl I found tucked into another record I got for cheap at Goodwill thrift.  Kind of a present for my birthday next week as the band is from Bradenton where I'm at!!  I've said in the past I knew there was a strong Jesus Music scene here based on the other ones I've found.  The song I have heard before is not the opening title track which is usually the hit song but the next song, "Jesus Got A Hold Of My Life".  Good album.
