uzine's preposterous

Ann Steel was masterminded by Roberto Cacciapaglia. They recorded an untitled lp in 1979 (dedicated to the life and work of Guglielmo Marconi), of which "My time" was pulled as a single … and covered by Telex in 1980, on their "Neurovision" lp (both the English and the French version). Later on they released the disappointing "Media" 7" (1980, not on the original lp, bonus on the way too expensive cd via Recording Arts). Half Machine have reissued the lp (HMR020) on 2011-10-24 … by hipster demand, I'm sure ;-)

esther's version

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:21:00 -0800

Etta James' 1973 original on Chess was pretty great - see http://uzine.posterous.com/james-etta - but Esther Phillips' 1976 remake on Kudu (~ CTI) is the best take, imho! It's been reissued on cd by Sony in 2010 - see also http://jazzstation-oblogdearnaldodesouteiros.blogspot.com/2010/03/esther-phillips-capricorn-princess-to.html

camberwell now!

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 23:08:00 -0800

After the legendary This Heat came Camberwell Now … again featuring Charles Hayward, accompanied by Trefor Goronwy & Stephen Rickard and, in 1986, Maria Lamburn. Their complete works can be found on one fine cd (DUP0022) via ReR Megacorp or Locus Solus aka Recommended Japan: "All's Well (The Complete LP, EPs Collection: Meridian, The Ghost Trade, Greenfingers)". Recorded 1982-1986, remastered 2006. Two tracks are missing, though: "Trade winds" and "For those in peril on the sea". But we get a remake of "Splash", viz. "Resplash" (off Sub Rosa's "Myths 1 - Instructions For Survival" v/a compilation), and "Daddy needs a throne" off the "Ritual Magnetic North" v/a K7 tape on Touch.

apocryphal dylan & zimmermania

Hee hee hee … wanna buy some mandies? Just out: "It's Zimmerman's World …We Just Live In It (Soft Sounds For Gentle People Garage And Folk Rock Tributes To The Beatnik Bard)" on Pet (cd or lp, cat. no. 009). Amazingly, that most ultimate of Bob spoofs or Dylan imitations, "A public execution" by Mouse and the Traps (Fraternity 1966 - see below), isn't on it. (And neither is the Trashmen's downright irritating "Same lines" for that matter.). Oh well, you'll probably have that Mouse track via that seminal and oft reissued "Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From The First Psychedelic Era" v/a 2lp or cd on Elektra (1972), won't you? If not: see below. Otherwise, bar the omission of Dutch Dylan Armand and the 5 Gentlemen track below, "It's Zimmerman's World … We Just Live In It" is pretty flawless. And hilarious, for those maniac mannerisms and how they reflect on both the Bawb phenomenon and the copy and cash in routines that are part and parcel of the pop industry. So go buy it! And if you do not pay, they got computer collectors that'll send you through the ceiling!
