In The Trashcan Records
GARBAGE83
"From
1965 to 1972 going back and forth in the Ungawa time machine. Soul, hard
rock, psychedelia, library jazz,... Feel the time and feel the need to dance
as tears go by..."
Let’s get groovin’ in the Ungawa time machine! This is a dancefloor classic and probably already on a compilation. However, I haven’t found any vinyl comp featuring this uptempo soul stomper. And on vol 86 you get the answer song "Tell daddy” as well as the B-side “Swamp man”
A quote maybe from the book "Fuzz, acid and flowers"? "They did not record any 45s for this label (Rare Earth)". According to Vernon Joynson they only released an album "Gospel according to Zeus" with nothing heavy keyboard and guitar-dominated songs. Well, Vernon, here is their 45 and it is on Rare Earth. It’s hard to find ; that’s true…
A Beegees tune! The brothers Gibb have written some splendid tunes in the late 60s. Los «Black is black» Bravos knew this. "I love you like nobody else…" and then the organ is freaking out and everybody’s dancing.
Great fuzzguitar sounds and a hard driving beat from this Spanish outfit who had a million records sold or even more. They need no further introduction.
This is a Dutch release from a guy I’ve never heard of before. It’s a cool and catchy uptempo organ driven bubblegum tune that could’ve been a Kasenetz-Katz composition
I don’t know who this young lady is but this is so brilliant and better than any Marianne Faithfull version. The Stones should have picked her instead!
Heavy pounding garage stomper that’s always working on the dancefloor. I once played it in a trendy discotheque and everybody was jumping.
And on the same small label you can find The Kettles, who already recorded Beatles songs, but now a Rolling Stones song (with origins in The Staple Singers’ “This may be the last time” from 1954)
I’ve always liked “Groovin’ with Mr. Bloe”. Everybody knows this song, but nobody seems to know that there were several excellent cover versions made by mostly unknown studio bands. This version (which is even better than Cool Heat’s splendid rendition) is perhaps even catchier than the original. And now over to the master himself…
A not so well known song by the band that gave us "Pipe dream", "We ain’t got nothing yet" and "Tobacco road". This song was also released as ABC 11226 together with "Heartbreak hotel". Only one 45 will follow and after the 5th album it was over with this influential New York band.
Great instrumental library tune by the master of the grooves as B-side of his world wide hit single. There’s been a lot of releases of "Groovin’ with Mr. Bloe" and all have different flipsides. So be careful when you’re looking for this great tune that amazed a lot of people in the lounge of the now infamous Wild Weekend Festival in Spain
Gene Simmons with a fuzz guitar ? This is simply great!!! Watch out for the instrumental break, wow ! Somehow you’ll always hear the previous Simmons songs all through this one.
Wow, what a great psychedelic hardrock tune which I found on a promo 45 from 1970. Both songs of this 45 are on their first album, but the 45 itself never got its proper release except for this promo. One of the finest English bands from that period.
Most President releases are worth checking out, not all are good, but this one sure is. Hard rockin’ with horns, piano, fuzz guitars and what more do you need?
A little less psychedelic and a whole lot more progressive hard rock is this b-side. Ever heard of the Kray Twins ? One of them once was their manager! Stray released 6 albums on Transatlantic and 3 more on other record labels. Their career ended when punk emerged
What a weird tune by these well known guys. It starts with jungle noises, Swahili swearing and people shouting Umbassa, Umbassa, Umbassa. The entire recording crew must have been taken a few trips too many because this is utterly insane!!! So a warning: don’t go out on too many trips through time.
