CARILLO - Rings Around The Moon LP 78 w COLLEGE RADIO NETWORK PRESENTS CARILLO LP 78 w Street Of Dreams LP 79 w the Bandoleros - Bad Out There - Miles To Go - Rail to Kingdom Come w Someday w Doc Holliday - st CD w Golden Earring (2 Frank Albums) - Hot Soup w Kooymans Carillo

REPOST and ADD ON:  Friend to the DU blog Jon or Johann is/was a midwestern USA vinyl store clerk and here is what he said (very well too) since I still have the email from July 2024 (sorry so late!):  A number of years ago, under an alias, I requested a re-up of the Carillo albums which, as normal, you obliged. I didn't thank you then but I'll thank you now. Your comment on him began "Now this guy, Frank Carillo is a true master of rock, described as a 'musician's musician'." Yes sir! Couldn't have said it better myself and this needs to be shouted from the rooftops as it seems like so few know who he is.

I thought I'd expand your collection of his music (or what I know you have from what you have posted). Included in this zip file you will find everything I have collected from Frankie the Yankee over the years. Four albums by Frank Carillo and the Bandoleros; Bad Out There, Someday, Miles to Go and Rails to Kingdom Come (and, man do these things rock). Doc Holliday's lone album from 1973 and Hot Soup's lone album from 1969.

Somehow, in the early 2000's Frank got involved with the Netherland's Golden Earring (the Radar Love guys from the 70s.) I am also a huge (HUGE) Golden Earring fan and I have a DVD concert of theirs in which they introduce Frank as Frankie the Yankee, hence the name of the zip file. Can't find it on YouTube or I'd share it because it's damn good and the disc requires a PAL player so can't copy it with my laptop (not that I'd know how to anyway.) Enough with all that. Included here are two Golden Earring albums that Frank worked on, Millbrook USA (Frank's studio) and their final full length Tits 'n Ass. You know, for a bunch of old guys TnA rocked harder than most albums by younger guys in 2012. I've also included the Kooymans/Carillo from 2010 titled On Location. The Kooymans being George Kooymans from GE. This is a meeting of two outstanding yet commonly overlooked guitarists and is just a pleasure to my ears.  Everything with the exception of Doc Holliday and Hot Soup are ripped from my CDs and should be at 320. If you find one that isn't let me know and I'll fix that.

AND JON FOR YOU I HAVE ADDED THE COLLEGE RADIO INTERVIEW ALBUM, ENJOY and THANK YOU!!!  I have still the hip hop I will share with more time.  CHEERS!!!

LIGHT - KEYS LP 81

 Pulled this one out to match Andrae's "Light" record label.  Another fine selection and perhaps the last I can afford from the FUNKMYROCK list.  You can always pump in some coins for this blog to get the rest via paypal and my address here is the account since I can get up to $600 with no tax filing.  Per Discogs:  Light, originally known as Heirborne, took Indianapolis by storm in the early 1980’s with the release of their lone LP Keys, on their Abintra Records label. Though this was their only release, Light was a very popular live band throughout much of the 80’s and it is surprising that further recordings did not materialize. Light’s sound was comparable to Alan Parsons Project and Supertramp.

There were personnel changes, reflected in the number of band members listed. Bassist John McDowell joined Light after playing in the Wright Brothers for several years. Keyboardist Jeff Lantz went on to do session work and plays keyboards on Beach Boy Brian Wilson’s 2015 solo release No Pier Pressure. Drummer Steve Walker also did session work for Sharon Redd, Skip Mahoney and the Casuals, and others.  Musicians:  John McDowell III - bass, vocals, Jeff Lantz - keyboards, vocals, Steve Walker - drums, vocals, Jeff Hornbeck - guitar, vocals, Jim Farrelly - saxophone, Robin Steele - additional percussions, Kevin Kaiser - additional percussions, Karl Hinkle - vocals contributions, Shawn Phillips - vocals contributions, Skip Paton - additional keyboards, guitars, vocals, violins, viola, cellos, wind instruments, Clout - additional keyboards, guitars, vocals, violins, viola, cellos, wind instruments.

THE WORLD'S GREATEST OLD-TIME RADIO SHOWS #6 - THE BOB HOPE SHOW w BOB HOPE - America Is 200 Years Old...And There's Still Hope! LP 76

A cool one where I separated the songs I could (three at end of side 1) and kept the two shows complete.  Turns out I had posted another one as well and so have added it to the two shows. For trivia buffs:  George Costanza is who Bob became as he is one of the 200 immortals who founded the USA as a kind of homeland for them.  Other on Seinfeld:  Jerry Lee Lewis is Jerry, Betty White is Elaine, Dean Martin is Kramer and Randy Newman is of course Newman--all being face/mannerism matched by Tyler Hansen who has a great channel to subscribe to...yes, clones are the big psyop and a diversion.

Chicken Shack - 40 Blue Fingers, Freshly Packed & Ready To Serve CD 68 w O.K. Ken? CD 69 w 100 Ton Chicken Shack CD 69 w Accept Chicken Shack CD 70-cc w Imagination Lady CD 71 12 w Unlucky Boy (Featuring Stan Webb) CD 73 w Goodbye Chicken Shack CD 74

COLLECTOR'S CHOICE:  The collectable vinyl posted in my old 'Rare Holy Grail" meta group long ago was the "Accept Chicken Shack" which I made clear in the title and zipped all in folder titled that.  As I finished off the D's right above as I moved on will add a couple out of order as were missed prior.  Went to fetch the rest from youtube just so I could put this one to bed and not have to search it again.  Per Discogs:  Chicken Shack evolved from a Stourbridge, UK based band called Sounds Of Blue who were performing in the West Midlands area by early 1964. The original members included singer and pianist Christine Perfect, bass guitarist Andy Sylvester, guitarist Stan Webb, and saxophonist Chris Wood. Following a host of drummers, Dave Bidwell became their permanent one in 1966/67.

While touring the UK in 1967, opening for Fleetwood Mac, Christine met John McVie, whom she later married.

She eventually left and replaced Peter Green in Fleetwood Mac. She was replaced by Paul Raymond.

In 1970 Stan Webb had a falling-out with Mike Vernon which resulted in the group being dropped by their record label. There were also disagreements within the group which resulted in the departure of Dave Bidwell and Paul Raymond who both left to join the famous London blues outfit Savoy Brown. Undaunted, Stan Webb continued with a new line-up which included bass guitarist John Glassock from Jethro Tull and Paul Hancox on drums but by the mid 1970's and after various other personnel changes, Chicken Shack finally disbanded.

NAT KING COLE - Ramblin' Rose (And More) CD 87 w Capitol Collector Series CD 90 w 36 All Time Greatest Hits3CD 95 w Unforgettable CD 89 and LP w Sings For TWO IN LOVE LP w NKC Sings The George Shearing Quintet Plays LP w After Midnight LP w The Very Thought Of You LP w Natalie Cole - Unforgettable With Love CD 91 w Natalie LIVE 2LP 78 w Unforgettable CD Compilation 2LP 76

REPOST Request:  What I wrote about Natalie last time:  Was lucky enough to find her double live album at Goodwill and so added it to the million seller I had posted where she covers her dad Nat King Cole's big title track tune.  I put in the song 'Annie Mae' that I had recorded off the radio long ago from her 1977 album since it is such a criminally under rated song that should be more well known.   BTW the live album is harder to find and actually is a top live vinyl album for me now that I have heard it.  Wow!

THE NAT VINYL last time:  With all these from Good Will during many lunch break visits last year, a couple vinyl were iffy but I just only had to turn down the recording level to save some work and they do sound good.
