"TPlanet
SEX where all the girls have black hair; if that's true, I'll take a one way
ticket and go by satellite and fly for 7 years surviving on canned love..."
A super sleazy sultry sexy song about the one thing that can start AND end a war : SEX. On an uptempo exotic latin groove Miss X lures you into her steamy hot bedroom straight onto her kingsize bed. Then she whispers in your ear and reveals her real name … see a little bit further on this volume for the rest of this story…
Did you check out the first song of this volume ? Yes ? Well, now you know her name "My name’s Christine… what’s yours?…. You’re joking… What? Now?... But I’m a good girl…" and this highly inflammable sexy song takes you to the main bedroom of a sultana’s harem. And who on earth could write a song like this ? The Spanish Count Don Jaime de Mora y Aragon, who’s the brother of the Belgian Queen Fabiola! I don’t think she’d like this…
What a great song to be put on a b-side of «Yellow bird». I first thought it would sound like a Jewish Robinson family on a deserted South Pacific Island. It starts with a slow beat and after one minute the whole family gathers around the bonfire and every thinkable wooden instrument can be heard now, all surrounding a crazy piano trying to outrun the percussionists.
A Brasilian flavoured samba tune sung in Spanish, but I think this was a Belgian combo trying to copy another Belgian combo The Chakachas, who were world famous in the late 50s/early 60s. A little bit more Caribbean sound can be found on the b-side with their "Cancion Cubana".
It begins with a Spanish ole-ole flamenco tune, but then it changes into a cool exotic orchestral instrumental using a spooky organ. If you have a lot of imagination, you can hear a ska underbeat. Watch out for the flipside…
Unusual novelty tune with an eerie sound. It’s an excellent instrumental which must have been recorded around 1959.
Is there a sexier name than Kitty? This release seems to be so rare that I couldn’t find any info. It sounds like 1960. It’s got that typical early 60s girl group feeling. If you love this, check out the b-side ("Lonely valley"), but first try to find the 45.
pt1 is on the a-side, but I prefer the wilder flipside. It’s so catchy, so inviting, so vivid. Snap your fingers and clap your hands, stamp your feet and shake your head… yes, I know you can’t sit down ! Fantastic organ instrumental from the early 60s.
I love John Buck’s guitar. On vol 60 you get the flipside of his fabulous "Forbidden city", a Lux Interior favourite. This instrumental is so awesome that I can play it over and over again. It’s the b-side of "Jalisco".
There are so many versions of this song. In the late 70s Eruption even had a worldwide hit, but they were singing about "One way ticket to the moon" and this is "to the blues". Unbelievable that this excellent recording is only the b-side of "What can I do". It’s a Swedish release.
If you thought Miss and Kitty were sexy, just listen to this b-side of "Sexual lady"; seduction first class in a darkened ballroom in the middle of Harlem.
Aha, here’s the Belgian guy from Liege again (see vols 24, 26 and 41). The label reads Jo Allan, but it should be Jo Alan. Never mind, it’s a fine release. The b-side is "Ballade à mon voisin".
Here’s another hard to find 45. Fantastic frantic rock ‘n’ roll instrumental which starts with a Martian countdown and after two minutes of manic rocking sounds the satellite takes off into space. Also good is "Rough and bold", the flipside.
This is the flipside of Les Scarlet’s "Le Temps de l’amour" which I’ve put on vol 79. As you might expect, it’s a jazzy release, yes, but this fast instrumental sounds so fantastic that I couldn’t let go.
A seldom heard b-side (of "Arabesque") from the kings of instrumental rock ‘n’ roll. It was also released on the 1966 "Go with the Ventures" album.
There are 4 songs on this EP, all written by Antoine. It starts as a tapdance song, then the nasal sound of Antoine’s voice takes over. It sure isn’t his best song ; who cares. "Lucie has a little kitty" and Fred Astaire would love this if he could understand French. More Antoine songs on vols 41, 55, 80 and 88.
