Singles, too time

Hello, time for my second of 3 batches of singles, still from the good old days, when most tracks rarely crossed the 3 min mark. To be honest i wasnt sure if there would be interested at all, im glad there obviously was, considering ripping and cleaning up these old vinyls is time consuming.

Well ive adapted my blog with the re-uploads , if you come across a dead link post it in the latest comments section.

Seventies TV Toony's

Got some good stuff here, mr Wayne of course has his 100th birthdate this week, assume plenty reruns coming up, well he tells us why he loves America, i dont know who got him to do this, its cheesy, so is his spanish btw and considering he married 3 times with a spanish woman he sure should have done better. Now the Scottish Chaps do make for an excellent bunch of cowboys rrrollin rrollin rrrollin' rrrawhide. Cheech and Chong awesome fun,burps, right on no then mr MacCenroe a novelty hit that got us laughing at his outbursts if the ball didnt land where it was supposed to. The french loved Dallas so much they even wrote a song in french about it, well the theme is there aswell, these days texas oilmen are scr ewing up the planet in a real life soap. Mash was another series that ran for ages, oddly enough the 50 ties subject got a very late sixties tune. Wish i could tell you why they sing suicide is painless, but for sure it brings on many changes..John Barry, the Bond themes man, wrote the dramatic Persuaders theme and the world was to believe that an american selfmade man was contained by a british prime stock man..well he was casted Bond soon after. Sammy Davis Jr got to sing two great detective series tunes, still love that Hawaii 5-O tune. From the mixed bag came another classic this time film tune, Zorba the Greek, well them greeks keep on dancing the sirtaki , so here's your chance for some practise . I added Trini lopez as a bonus , i 'm sure i played this the very first time i DJ 'd at my first highschool party, well i thought another america, from the sixties perspective of the latino immigrants, everythings free in america, right well those make believe dreams have finally come to an end it should be everyone has a price in america...( and most are on sale these days).

Seventies Disco Fffunk ( * 98mb)

Well i DJ'd for 25 years, these tracks certainly got me thru the first decade at times, Brickhouse was a 16 min track on the album, which left the single rather unused, still after 9 min or so it started to bore me so this three and half min is just what it takes .. Now Oops upside your head was a one hit wonder but a great singalong. Ike and Tina oh boy the b-side help him says it all, and with hindsight one wonders how long she kept helping him, too long.. Nutbush city limits is such a classic, even after 35 years it will move the crowd. Same can be said for Labelle, at least in some regions, the lyrics/title "do you want to sleep with me", were a bit too much in some quarters, but i tell you whenever i played that track, the dancefloor would immediately fill up with girls, well boys dont speak french, men do.. Another underbelly funk tune by the Ohio Players, Fire, wont set you ablaze but will show you're spirited. The Sisters Sledge hammered us all with their lost in music, well these days its easy enough to lose tracks... Supermax Love machine is 30 years old but cool and understated just like a macho, more how sex is promised by Wild Cherry ( strange one would assume a girls band with such a name) , but these guys 'shined' , 2 fat tracks by them.

Some more seventies stuff ( * 99mb)

This is a bit of a stew, ELP scored just 2 real hits, Lucky man and their Peter Gun version, still its not unlikely you'd recognise Fanfare of the common man. Yes i was a prog fan in the mid seventies thats why i bought that Genesis EP, the tracks werent on any of their albums, Frank Zappa didnt do singles, Dancing fool is the exception to the rule, a lot of him compressed in a few minutes, as it happens i came across a quote from him today i will share here " The biggest threat to America today is not communism; it's moving America towards a fascist theocracy and everything that has happened during the Reagan administration, is steering us right down that pipe." (Frank Zappa 1986), well Frank succumbed to prostrate cancer 7 years later , we sure miss his voice these days.. Hotlegs produced a wonderful minamalist droning track , im a neaderthal man, you're a neanderthal girl , lets make neanderthal love in the neanderthal world"" yes thats the lyrics, neanderthals had just very little to say in those days. Considering they died out, the neanderthal love wasnt too succesfull .
Plastic Bertrand had one international hit though back home in Belgium he had more success , well his Iggy Punk Pop does carry a punch. The Plastic Romantics however never got beyond their tailored hit, maybe thats what i like about them. Another one hit wonder the Shirts, promised much more with this great track Laugh and walk away , well maybe they did i dont know. The Specials, were thr core of the whole Two Tone label, their ska got everyone moving, on the b side another ska band from their hometown, the Selecter.
