GeneVincent & The Blue Caps had a cleaner sound by the time they recorded these sessions for Capitol – comparable to the slightly less ragged & raw shift in tone Johnny Cash and Johnny Horton had after settling over at Columbia – but the re-configured Blue Caps still packed a wallop! At this point Gene's proving to be a worthy balladeer, but the group still kicks you're a** on half the tunes. Tracks include "Brand New Beat", "By The Light Of The Silvery Moon", "Frankie And Johnnie", "In My Dreams", "Flea Brain", "You Belong To Me", "Your Cheatin' Heart", "It's No Lie" and more. LP, Vinyl record album
A very cool comeback album from GeneVincent – produced by Kim Fowley, arranged by Skip Battin, and done with a unique spin that you might expect from the involvement of those two underground greats! LP, Vinyl record album
(Original US pressing. Cover has a cut corner and an unglued top seam – but this is a very nice copy otherwise.)
Classic GeneVincent on Capitol – with titles that include "Reddy Teddy", "Vincent's Blues", "Now Is The Hour", "My Baby Don't Low", "I Might Have Known", and "I Got To Get You Yet". LP, Vinyl record album
(Great French pressing – from 1978! Rainbow labels.)
One of the lesser known efforts from the prime years of GeneVincent – and one of the early records that demonstrate Gene's strengths as a formidable early rock balladeer – as well as a stomping firebrand! The latter characteristic is in fine form thanks to walloping work of his Blue Caps – one of the more slept on backing bands of the early rock era. Tracks include "Five Feet Of Lovin'", "The Wayward Wind", "Somebody Help Me", "Keep It A Secret", "Git It", "Teen Age Partner", "Summertime" and more. LP, Vinyl record album
A great French collection – with a total of 48 early gems from the great GeneVincent – nice and raw, even when recording for a bigger label – captured here with backings from his excellent Blue Caps group! LP, Vinyl record album
20 tracks over 2 records – GeneVincent, Sam Cooke, Peggy Lee, Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, Johnny Otis, Cilla Black, Nelson Riddle, Beau Brummels, Gene Chandler, Billy Bland, Bobby Freeman, and more! LP, Vinyl record album
A seminal early album from Ian Dury – recorded before his funky dancefloor crossover work, and a key link between those sides and his earlier pub rock years. Dury's wonderfully deadpan vocal approach is already very firmly in place – and in fact perhaps sounds even more disaffected next to the heady guitars and stiffly strutting instrumentation of the set. Chaz Jankel's just developing his bassy style at this point – soon to explode more strongly on later work – but the core sound is very firmly in place on the set! Titles include "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll", "My Old Man", "Wake Up & Make Love With Me", "Clever Trevor", "If I Was A Woman", "Sweet GeneVincent", "Billericay Dickie" and more. LP, Vinyl record album
Very cool compilation featuring a whole mess of great lost funk tracks from the legendary Westbound label – including a few unreleased cuts! There's a number of tracks on here that we just about never see, and some more that you'll only find on rare funky 45s. Tracks include "Getting It Off", an instrumental by Fuzzy Haskins, "Super Funk" by Erasmus Hall, "In The Pocket" by Boots, "Funk It Down" by Caesar Frazier, "Just Us" by Crowd Pleasers, "Funky Beethoven" by Gene Anderson, "Be What You Is" by U.S. Music & Funkadelic, and "Funky World (parts 1 & 2)" by Silky Vincent. Very cool stuff, and with a good set of notes! LP, Vinyl record album
