INCLINED - Bright New Day CD 93

 Going to make this main post as they had this big hit CD with first two songs on our local EDGE radio station and an old sampler which I don't have anymore.  I don't know history because they fell off the radar at Discogs and Wiki with no write up.  After all these years, I couldn't remember their name but knew the great hit songs:  Two Minds and Somewhere In The Middle, and even Jonder at Jonkey blog missed them but with something he said triggered an idea so I figured it out and bought the CD a few weeks ago after all these years.  It has a sound that is quite intricate and modern for those songs and we'll see about the rest.  Almost a dimensional sound on first two hits on the CD.  Enjoy!

REPOST and ADD ON:  I had posted the top photo which I didn't find on Discogs so I got that going for me--which is nice.  The rest are all new rips and not too soon as I had to get on ebay as well as Discogs.  Started with a great album "Children (Get Together)" and got better with the Live album and some others--like the double best of album from which took me down the rabbit hole of buying because Goodwill only had album two and I knew it was very good and had to get.  Added a couple from youtube with the first live and More Happy Days.  Per Discogs:  American Gospel group formed by Edwin Hawkins and Betty Watson in May of 1967.

The group came from the Church of God in Christ (COGIC) in California, and included almost fifty members. The group was split in 1969 after the success of "Oh Happy Day", with Hawkins group becoming the Edwin Hawkins Singers and Watson and another soloist organizing a new group, taking the original name.

Formerly known as Northern California State Youth Choir.

Eddie Harris - JAZZ FOR 'BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S' LP 61 w Mighty Like A Rose LP 61 w The Electrifying E.H. LP 68 w Live At Newport LP 71 w E.H. In The U.K. LP 74 w How Can You Live Like That LP 77

REPOST and ADD ON:  Found the Breakfast At Tiffani's his third at Goodwill the other day and that is the only new one to past post.  What I wrote last time:  Just scratching the surface here with what he's done starting with a couple of early jazz then some great non-instrumental albums and a live jazz finale.  I first heard and was enamored with his live tune with Les McCann from an early Atlantic Records double album compilation I had rode my bike over and checked out from our local library back in the mid-80's...a song called 'Compared To What' with "old rednecks rolling logs" and super loud vocal shouts that I was and still am totally into.  I didn't check out many from the library back then but that was tops in my forming years along with they had 'London Calling' by the Clash and Professor Longhair's Crawfish album--all equally radical in the forming of my musical taste.

Egg - st LP 70 -cc

COLLECTOR'S CHOICE:  Well good, we have some info on Discogs for this one:  English progressive rock band formed in July 1968 by Dave Stewart (organ), Mont Campbell (bass/vocals) and Clive Brooks (drums), after the disbanding of their previous band Uriel when Steve Hillage left for college. Egg signed a record deal with Decca in May 1969. Some time later they were offered to record an Uriel album, but since the musicians were under contract with another company, Uriel reformed to record under the name Arzachel with musicians using pseudonyms.

Egg toured the UK and recorded two highly acclaimed albums (Egg, The Polite Force). After struggling for over a year with hardly enough gigs to survive, Egg eventually broke up in July 1972, leaving almost an album's worth of unrecorded compositions. So when the opportunity came, in the summer of 1974, to record a third album for the Virgin sub-label Caroline Records, the trio was re-united for "The Civil Surface", but the band was not in existence anymore.

The first album shows some Soft Machine influences and a focus on unusual time signatures that Dave Stewart would also explore with later bands Hatfield And The North and National Health. Egg and Stewart's other projects tend to get lumped into the 'Canterbury Scene' with the extended Soft Machine and Gong families of musicians.

Eggs Over Easy - Good 'N' Cheap CD 72 06 -cc

COLLECTOR'S CHOICE:  Not much on this great-titled band except members from discogs:  Austin De Lone, Bill Franz, Brien Hopkins, George Butler, Jack O'Hara, John Steel, Les Sampson

Personally, I like mine sunny side up [vegetarian fed--grain fed too high PUFA/MUFA] with kimchi, purple onions, avacado, bee pollen, arugula, two kinds of mustard and brewer's yeast sprinkle on top along with grass fed beef sausage organic on toast with grass fed ghee.  I also time my tea one hour later or before so I absorb all the iron as it interferes with that. Oh yeah mushrooms under the eggs but must be cooked!

TACTICS - My Houdini CD 80

 A big thank you to Josef (Austria) for telling me about this here, his favorite Aussie band!  I couldn't find the first volume one compilation if anyone has that or later albums we can begin the beguinne or collecting that is as this one too rich for my blood at this time.  Enjoy!  Here is Discogs:  Australian post punk band, formed 1977 in Canberra before moving to Sydney in February 1979.

The line-up changed periodically, with songwriter and vocalist, David Studdert, as the mainstay. They released four studio albums, My Houdini (December 1980), Glebe (November 1981), Blue and White Future Whale (1986) and The Great Gusto (1990). Tactics disbanded late in 1989 and Studdert relocated to London. Since then, Tactics have played in Sydney (2006, 2008 and 2019). David Studdert has played periodically with ex-Tactics members in other projects.
