Isn't that Beacon Street Union version too much? And isn't that AC/DC version just wonderful? For other versions of "Baby please don't go" (originally recorded by Big Joe Williams in 1935, popularised by Them in 1964), see http://uzine.posterous.com/tag/babypleasedontgo … and also:

 Jazzman Gerald has just compiled the best of Tino Contreras on "El Jazz Mexicano De" (JMAN 043 cd / 2lp, 2011-12) … and he's entered the hip record bag business too … Contreras' “Orbita” (taken from the rare and virtually untraceable private press record “Quinto Sol, Musica Infinita”) required specially modified harmonic harps developed by Julian Carrillo … Top reissue for the non religious as well!

Russell Mills recorded this James Joyce poem (from 1907's "Chamber Music", untitled poem V) with top lass Clodagh Simonds of Mellow Candle and of Fovea Hex, for his album "Undark Two: Pearl + Umbra" (1999). Syd Barrett had already recorded it somewhere in 1968-1969, for his brilliantly titled debut "The Madcap Laughs" (Harvest 1970), an lp which saw members of Soft Machine, Humble Pie and Jokers Wild contribute. More on Russell Mills here + in a future post …

I keep getting back to this song … do you know what I mean? Lesley Duncan (née Cox) wrote and performed the original version in 1969, while Elton John's cover version from 1970 - which also features la Duncan - has made the song famous ever since … resulting in fine versions by Dionne Warwick(e) (1971), Peggy Lee (studio version d.d. 1972), etc. (Apparently, David Bowie and John Hutchinson had already recorded a demo of this song as soon as 1968-12, later to be released on the bootleg "The Forgotten Songs Of David Robert Jones".)

What with all those dinosaur boxes, here's a track with the Pink Floyd sound still très pointu at the sky … ideal for midwinter … As for the Floyd flock's greed: careful with that axe, number 51 …

Yes, the Big Lebowski classic … bùt do note: the original version is by Jerry Lee Lewis, off his "Soul My Way" lp (1967)! Mickey Newbury didn't release his own version of his song (a Jimi Hendrix favourite) until his 1968 debut "Harlequin Melodies". The First Edition's version (featuring Kenny Rogers) is from the same year. Bettye LaVette's wonderful cover version (1969) of "Just dropped in (to see what condition my condition was in)" can be found on Trikont's first "Dirty Laundry - The Soul Of Black Country" (US-0333, 2000) v/a comp … whilst Sharon Jones' version (with the Dap Kings) dates dates from 2002 or 2004. Carcass frontman Jeff Walker's cuntry metal version dates from 2006, Supergrass' "Condition" is off 1995's "Alright / Time" single, and die Haut's is off 1988's "Headless Body In Topless Bar" lp and features Nick Cave. Got that?

The "Where Are You From? (Christophe Lemaire And Now-Again Records Present A Series Of Global Psychedelic Rock, Funk And Folk Grooves. 16 Tracks From 1968 Until The Present Day)" v/a cd on Now-Again (NA 5073, 2011) has been compiled by Christophe Lemaire, a Frenchman who has worked for Lacoste (dig their brilliant L!VE! collection) and who has now replaced Jean-Paul Gaultier at Hermès … Great to see gypsy hippie Damon end up in the hands of Paris' beau monde and other filthy rich, too ;-

Accompanying my "Danger: Diabolik" post … here's four excerpts from Ennio Morricone's soundtrack (1967 / 1968). Hey and did you know that the Beastie Boys … and that Mike Patton really digs …
