Ry Cooder - Chicken Skin Music (1976) (LP) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Chicken Skin Music is Ry Cooder's fifth studio album, released in 1976, on the Reprise label.

Ry Cooder has always believed in the "mutuality in music," and this may be no more evident in his career than with his fifth album, Chicken Skin Music (a Hawaiian colloquialism, synonymous with goosebumps). 

Even more than usual, Cooder refuses to recognize borders -- geographical or musical -- presenting "Stand By Me" as a gospel song with a norteño arrangement, or giving the Jim Reeves country-pop classic, "He'll Have to Go," a bolero rhythm, featuring the interplay of Flaco Jimenez's accordion and Pat Rizzo's alto sax. 

Elsewhere, he teams with a pair of Hawaiian greats -- steel guitarist and singer Gabby Pahinui and slack key guitar master Atta Isaacs -- on the Hank Snow hit "Yellow Roses" and the beautiful instrumental "Chloe." 

If Cooder's approach to the music is stylistically diverse, his choice of material certainly follows suit. Bookended by a couple of Leadbelly compositions, Chicken Skin Music sports a collection of songs ranging from the aforementioned tracks to the charming old minstrel/medicine show number "I Got Mine" and the syncopated R&B of "Smack Dab in the Middle." 

Also included is Appalachian songwriter Blind Alfred Reed's "Always Lift Him Up," complete with a Hawaiian gospel tune, "Kanaka Wai Wai," woven into the instrumental section. 

As he explains in the album's liner notes, Cooder understands the connection between these seemingly disparate styles. 

This is not merely eclecticism for its own sake. Chicken Skin Music is probably Ry Cooder's most eccentric record since his first, but it's also one of his most entertaining.

The Eric Burdon Band - Sun Secrets (1974) (LP) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Sun Secrets is an album by the Eric Burdon Band recorded in 1973 and released in December 1974.

It includes some re-recording of songs, with which lead singer Eric Burdon topped the charts a few years before. 

The band included Aalon Butler on guitar, Randy Rice on bass and Alvin Taylor on drums.
"The Real Me", "Ring of Fire" and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" were released as singles. 

The album peaked at No. 51 on the Billboard 200 chart in 1975.
They formed in 1971, after Burdon left his previous band War to cut an album with blues/jazz-great Jimmy Witherspoon. They recorded the album Guilty and then, without Witherspoon, the album Stop.

Released without Eric Burdon's authorization, Sun Secrets is nothing for the singer to be ashamed of artistically. 

With approximately 24 minutes per side, Sun Secrets is a far cry from The Black Man's Burdon and the rhythms of the group War. As Mountain guitarist Leslie West would do a year after this when he formed the Leslie West Band, Burdon beats him to the punch with a self-titled group that rocks -- rocks harder than the Animals, rocks harder than War. It's innovative reinvention, and quite pleasing, not only to hear the three-piece unit blitzing behind the singer as he reinterprets Animals classics like "When I Was Young," "It's My Life," or the Hendrix/Cream riff-laden version of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," but on the instrumental title track as well. 

The tragedy of it all is that, according to the singer's biography, Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by Eric Burdon with J.Marshall Craig (Thunder's Mouth Press), Burdon did not want this material out. The tapes were signed to Capitol and released without his permission. 

Produced by Jerry Goldstein, they are called "rehearsal tapes" by the singer and feature the original lineup of what he says in his book is "The first in a long series of Eric Burdon band(s)." Capitol released two different versions of this album -- the full-length commercial LP, and a "Radio Programming Aid" which has edits of everything except for the 13-minute Burdon co-write "Letter From the Country Farm." 

It's disheartening to read the agony for the star during these sessions and the touring from this period in his life, but it's refreshing to hear in these grooves that under adverse conditions the star still comes out on top artistically.

The Major Dundee Band - The Longer The Distance (1979) (LP) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Major Dundee, tot 1994 The Major Dundee Band genaamd, is sinds 1979 een Nederlandse countryrock-band. 

De band werd opgericht in Oosterhout in de Gelderse Overbetuwe en werkte samen met artiesten als de tex-mex-accordeonist Flaco Jiménez en met Toni Willé die voorheen voor Pussycat zong.

The Major Dundee Band werd in 1977 opgericht in Oosterhout bij Nijmegen. De band staat onder leiding van Dick van Altena en trad op 17 december van dat jaar voor het eerst op. De bezetting was op dat moment als volgt:

• Dick van Altena, zang en (bas)gitaar
• Ton Verkooyen, zang, gitaar en drums
• Ferry Tang, zang en basgitaar
• Karel Mombarg, zang, gitaar en drums
• Jan Gerrits, zang, gitaar, harmonica en feetboard

Aan het begin van 1978 vond de eerste wisseling plaats en trad Peter van Vlaanderen aan op de basgitaar als vervanger van Ferry Tang.

In 1978 verscheen de eerste single, The longer the distance, met een plaats op nummer 35 van de Nederlandse Top 40. Het nummer was geschreven door Fred Limpens en werd uitgebracht bij het Killroy-label van Johnny Hoes.

Het jaar daarop kwam het album "The Longer The Distance" uit. Van dit album kwamen de volgende singles: " The Longer The Distance", "I bought me a fiddle today", "Red river rosie" en "You get too big for your boots".

Stips - U.P. (1981) (LP) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Robert Jan Stips (Den Haag, 4 februari 1950) is een Nederlandse producer, componist, toetsenist en zanger bij onder andere de Nederlandse popgroep Nits. Stips is de jongere broer van programmamaker en kunstschilder Wouter Stips.

Stips maakte sinds eind jaren zestig naam met de band Supersister. Met deze band trad hij ook op tijdens het Holland Pop Festival. 

Direct na het uiteenvallen van Supersister in 1974 werd hij door de Haagse band Golden Earring gevraagd als toetsenist. 

Golden Earring had net een wereldhit met Radar Love gehad, en Stips speelde mee tijdens de daaropvolgende Europese en Amerikaanse Earring-tournees in 1974, 1975 en 1976. 

Hij speelt op twee albums van Golden Earring mee: Switch (1975) en To the Hilt (1976). Na de financieel minder succesvolle Amerikaanse tour ter promotie van To the Hilt verliet hij de band.

Met saxofonist Bertus Borgers en de Golden Earring-leden Cesar Zuiderwijk en Rinus Gerritsen nam Stips in 1975 de soloplaat Nevergreens op. 

Deze werd in 1976 uitgebracht onder de groepsnaam Stars & Stips. Hij trad daarna toe tot de door Borgers opgerichte groep Sweet d'Buster. 

In 1979 stapte Stips uit de groep en richtte zijn eigen band op, Transister, die dat jaar het album Zig Zag uitbracht. 

In 1981 trad Stips toe tot de Nits, met wie hij al als producer had gewerkt. 

Stips werd de toetsenist van de groep. Hij produceerde daarnaast groepen als Gruppo Sportivo, Cloud Nine, Himalaya en Vitesse. Ook werkte hij sinds begin jaren negentig regelmatig samen met cabaretier Freek de Jonge.

 

"U.P." is een erg leuk solo album van Robert Jan Stips vlak voordat hij permanent lid werd van The Nits. 

Het is een verzameling van vooral innovatieve synthpopliedjes met plezierige vocalen van Stips zelf. 

Dit ligt duidelijk dichter bij zijn latere Nits-bijdragen dan bij de prog van Supersister.

Culture Club - Kissing To Be Clever (1982) (LP) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Kissing to Be Clever is the debut album by the English band Culture Club, released on 8 October 1982 in the United Kingdom. It includes Culture Club's international breakthrough hit single, "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me".

The album's first two singles were "White Boy" (which failed to crack the US or UK charts), and "I'm Afraid of Me" (which peaked at No. 100 in the UK). But with the release of "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me", the band scored a number one hit in over a dozen countries.

Kissing to Be Clever is the album that put Culture Club on the musical map. Incorporating pop, rock, dance, new wave, soul, and Caribbean rhythms (an amalgamation of "cultures"), the result was a soulful, progressive pop outing that scored several landmark international hits and made a star out of the band's outrageous frontman, Boy George. 

A couple of tracks were European dance hits, but the first "official" single, "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me," was a simple masterpiece, resonating with an ache that harked back to the classic torch songs of yesteryear. 

Most of the other songs were quite different, with energetic beats and sometimes silly, campy themes ("Boy Boy I'm the Boy," "White Boys Can't Control It," and "White Boy"). The album scored two other major hits, the zippy and bouncy "I'll Tumble 4 Ya" and the gorgeous "Time (Clock of the Heart)." However, beware that "Time" is only on certain pressings of the album. 

When the album was issued on CD, and once the Epic label dissolved, the formerly colorful album cover had turned to black and white, and "Time" had been omitted, which is pretty ridiculous, considering the song was a huge number two hit, and the album was then left with only nine tracks. 

Still, this set is a highlight of 1980s music, and set the stage for one of the decade's most loved and oft-remembered bands.

1.  White Boy [Dance Mix] - 4:40

2.  You Know I’m Not Crazy - 3:36

The Isley Brothers - Inside You (1981) (LP) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Inside You is the 20th album by the Isley Brothers, released on T-Neck Records on December 1, 1981.

 

Inside You (Part I & II) is a blunt copy of Marvin Gaye's only adventure in discoland, Got To Give lt Up. But since that song is smashing, Inside You (Part I & II) serves as an extension of that moment.

The record marks a return of the band to the string section. On First Love, there's even a horn section. They were obviously looking for a new sound, however, they abandoned the idea on their next recording.

Baby Hold On sounds like a Michael MacDonald song but apart from that, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Don't Hold Back Your Love (Part I & II) follows a series of those bedtime songs that the Isley Brothers were so good at. Welcome to My Heart seems to try to evoke the early seventies (with harpsichord sounds and full string arrangement).

Other than that, there isn't much to write home about. The Isley Brothers still wouldn't let go of their hilarious outfits, even though that kind of gear had fully fallen out of fashion by 1981. They were at the end of a fabulous phase in their ancient career. It began with their album, 3 + 3 from 1973.

With all due criticism from deeply dyed-in-the-wool Isley Brothers connoisseurs, Inside You has aged surprisingly well.

Side one

1.  Inside You (Parts I & II) - 9:03  

2.  Baby Hold On - 4:22  

3.  Don’t Hold Back Your Love (Parts I & II) - 6:20
