Flo & Eddie - The Phlorescent Leech & Eddie CD 72 w st CD 73 w Illegal, Immoral And Fattening LP 75 w Moving Targets LP 76 w The Best Of LP 87

 Just showing the three vinyl I ripped this weekend after learning about the death of Mark Volman.  I had delayed posting this while Twilight Zone blogspot members were posting the stuff I didn't have in comments so added those now as well per title listing.  It was my first listen to the band and I thoroughly enjoyed their music covers and the 'whole show' as it were...sounding excellent on vinyl.  Per Discogs:  When Mark Volman & Howard Kaylan departed from The Turtles they were embroiled in contract entanglements which prevented them from performing under their own identities. In 1970 the duo hitched up with Frank Zappa as vocalists, touring with his band and being credited on the release Chunga's Revenge by the pseudonym The Phlorescent Leech & Eddie. The name stuck. They released an eponymous album as The Phlorescent Leech & Eddie, and the nickname later become shortened to Flo & Eddie.

One highlight of their performances with Zappa was a rendition of The Turtles' "Happy Together" on Fillmore East - June 1971, as a pair of 'Fillmore groupies', though the duo are credited by their given names on the release.

THE TURTLES - All The Singles (from TZ Blog) w Happy Together Again 2LP 74 (also Deluxe version) w Happy Together Again LIVE CALIFORNIA GOLD CD 94 w Turtle Soup & Wooden Head (from TZ blog)

REPOST and ADD ON:  Doing the Turtles repost for a tribute to Mark Volman who passed last week so please also look above this post for Flo & Eddie.  Per Discogs:  American psychedelic folk/rock band with pop sensibilities. Formed in 1965, they broke up in 1971. Jim Tucker left the band after their third album. Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman later became members of Frank Zappa's The Mothers Of Invention. During the '70s they were also known as the producers Flo & Eddie.Classmates Volman and Kaylan had already been in several school bands together in California when they founded The Tyrtles, with a phonetic joke in the name as The Beatles and The Byrds also had at the time. By the time they really broke through, they had already replaced the y in their name with a u.

FLIPPER - R.I.P. Bruce Loose Calderwood Tribute Post

REPOST and ADD ON:  R.I.P. Bruce Loose Calderwood and of course prior R.I.P. to Will Shatter.  I remember the first time I heard Flipper was Ha Ha Ha on the Maximum Rock And Roll Radio show I listened to in 8th grade or so but was presented to me by a friend in school as a band 'who tries to play as badly as possible" and at that point I was a fan fanatic for life!  My main submission to the DU blog I remember was Mark Undergound's 2000th post when I ripped my CD of Sex Bomb Baby! which I began the studio portion with here.  Then I sent in the Blowin' Chunks CD I had(actually had the cassette release first with less tracks and finally sent to Mark the Live In Berkeley 81 CD as well as a couple of live DVD/VHS conversions I did and some old youtube band videos.  I combined the old post for Bruce's solo 7 and added one I had not heard--the Fleshapoids 7.  I was friends a number of years on Meta with Bruce.  I'll try to list what is included:  Sex Bomb Baby! CD 83 w Generic Flipper CD 84 w Gone Fishin' CD 82 w American Grafishy CD 93 w Love CD 09 w Demo bootleg CD 82 w Blowin' Chunks ROIR CD 84 w Live Berkeley CD 81 w On Broadway San Fran CA 2-6-82 w Nurnberg Fish Trials CD 92 w CBGB's Live 97.  A truly unique music creator...FLIPPER RULES (and continues).

CAMEL - st LP 73 w Mirage LP 74 w The Snow Goose LP 75 w Moonmadness LP 76 w Rain Dances LP 77 w Breathless LP 78 w I Can See Your House From Here LP 79 w Nude LP 81

REPOST Request:  Per Discogs:  English progressive rock group formed in 1971 with an original lineup of Andrew Latimer (guitar, flute, vocals), Peter Bardens (keyboards, synths, vocals), Doug Ferguson (bass, vocals) and Andy Ward (drums. percussion). This lineup recorded the first four studio albums including their most commercially successful album, The Snow Goose, an entirely instrumental record released in 1975. It peaked at number 22 on the UK charts and is certified silver.

For the tour following the release of the band's fourth album, Moonmadness (1976), they were joined by former King Crimson sax player and flautist Mel Collins. In early 1977 Ferguson left and was replaced by Richard Sinclair (from Caravan) as the band moved to a jazzier sound. By the end of 1978 a series of personnel changes included the departures of Bardens, Sinclair and Collins and the additions of Colin Bass, Kit Watkins and Jan Schelhaas. Their seventh studio album, I Can See Your House From Here was problematic for advertisers due to the cover art: a crucified astronaut looking at Earth. It also marked Camel's return to the UK charts at number 45. The band had three further studio albums, a live album and numerous personnel changes before disbanding in 1984.

Latimer, the last original member, revived the Camel name in 1991. With various lineups four more studio albums were recorded by 2002. The band played a farewell tour in 2003. It was later disclosed that Latimer was ill and underwent chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant in 2007. He had recovered sufficiently to revive the band in 2013, recording a new version of The Snow Goose as a tribute to the late Peter Bardens. The band has toured regularly since 2013 and remains active.
