the first take. the third LP.

 Introduced to a band via "3rd"/ "Sister Lovers". I went back wards. 3rd >>>> "Radio City" >>>> "#1 LP"
I think i may like 'em better cuz of it?
who knows really.
can you imagine NOT liking these guys at all?


Also known as Sister Lovers - Big Star's legendary 3rd album has been released and re-released countless times around the world with different track listings, different mixes, and different cover art. Now for the first time since it's debut release in 1978 this is being re-released as a vinyl LP with the original cover art,
including the innersleeve with the complete detailed liner notes and the original mixes and track listing. The master tape coming directly from Ardent Studios provides the highest sound quality for this vinyl classic -- available as it was first released 28 years ago. 180 gram audiophile vinyl.

my sents....= 3rd = druggy, band meltdown, almost all Alex and Richard Roseborough.
Spacey Alex in a studio with access to amazing musicians. my favorite lp.

"Radio City"= 100% "Southern Blue Eyed Soul"


"#1 record" = Super Slick....Heavy Chris Bell influence.... well crafted pop songs....almost too well.
Bowie's Hunky Dory plays a part.
Still 100% American.

All lp's "Made in U.S. A."



this grabbed me INSTANTLY.


Thank you Liz Larner....

Bobby Charles - Bearsville Sessions (1972-1975)

Compilation
Bobby Charles was an American singer-songwriter.

From 1972 to 1975 Bobby Charles lived in Woodstock, where he had originally gone (under an alias) to find somewhere to hide away, as he was on the run for a minor drugs possession charge. When his identity became known, Albert Grossman persuaded him to sign a contract and record, the result being his fantastic self-titled album of 1972. It was recorded at Grossman’s Bearsville Studios just a few miles down the road, which also produced records by The Band, Paul Butterfield’s Better Days, John Hartford, Bonnie Raitt, Karen Dalton, Happy & Artie Traum and others. Charles in particular struck up a friendship with Butterfield and his band, and both the Better Days albums from 1973 featured numerous Bobby Charles songs.
Grossman wanted a follow-up record in 1975, but it never materialised. Charles felt that Grossman was taking advantage of him, and managed to escape through a loop-hole in his contract and return to Louisiana, where he lay low for many years. However his original Bearsville album has been reissued numerous times in recent years, with all sorts of bonus tracks from the Woodstock period, all presumeably recorded at Bearsville. This collection compiles twenty one of these tracks. I’m not sure about the exact recording dates - some might have been outtakes from ‘72, some maybe the start of the ‘75 album, and others may have been recorded at any time in between. Backing musicians include Dr John, pedal steel guitarist Ben Keith, bassist Jim Colegrove, drummer Billy Mundi, and members of both The Band and Better Days, alongside many others. Also features the single version of “Small Town Talk”, which features trombones played by John Simon and Rick Danko.
This is a great compilation of laid-back, rootsy music, blending rock, R&B and country. A fine companion to the 1972 album, and proof that another similar record or two could have been produced whilst he was living in Woodstock.

MATTHEW HIGGS [184]

EXPANSIVES - LIFE WITH YOU …

— This is the most expensive record I’ve bought (to date.) I think I paid $255.00 for it (plus shipping.)

It’s an early (1982), raw example of what would come to be known as Italo Disco, and was written by Gianluigi Farina, Francesco Rago and Monneret De Villard Xenia Olga Anastasia (aka X. Monneret.)

Farina, Rago and Monneret were responsible for other proto-Italo classics including Wanexa’s The Man From Colours and ‘Lectric Workers Robot Is Systematic and The Garden.

I’m still looking for a copy of The Man From Colours.



Matthew Higgs is an artist, writer and curator based in New York. Since 2004 he has been the director of White Columns, a not-for-profit art space located in New York’s West Village. Over the past twenty years he has organized more than 200 exhibitions and projects with artists, and has contributed writing to more than fifty publications. White Columns has a vinyl-only record label THE SOUND OF WHITE COLUMNS, its next release - summer 2012 - will be a 12″ EP of new recordings by Malcolm Mooney, the original vocalist from CAN.

5 Long-Lost Soul Songs//LOVE APPLE

<iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dxWoP1v4rKI?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>




 April 9, 2012

In 1978, Lily Pearson, Annette Warren and Avetta Henry walked into Cleveland's Boddie Studios and recorded a six-song rehearsal reel. The group's ambitions never came to fruition, though, and their tapes ended up languishing in the studio's vaults for the next 30 years until the Chicago reissue label, Numero Group, rediscovered it in the process of compiling a Boddie anthology.
Finally released on vinyl-only, the Love Apple project may be acoustically primitive, but by all other measures, it's high-quality soul. In honor of the mysterious trio's serendipitous return, here is one of its recordings, as well as four more soul songs — all performed by women — which have emerged from the shadows of history in recent years.

For its rehearsal session, Love Apple was backed by the sparsest of bands — producer Lou Ragland on guitar and drummer Tony Roberson, whose heavy backbeat lends this ballad unexpected gravity and contrasts with the sublimely sweet harmonies of the singers. Unlike other groups made up of a lead and back-ups, each Love Apple member was given a solo on which to shine, revealing three different voices which blended together beautifully in the choruses. If you listen closely during Roberson's breakbeat bridge around 2:40, you can just make out Ragland giving direction to the group before the ladies of Love Apple swing back in.

Listen...

This album is available from Numero Group. (
