Cyrus Erie - "Get The Message"

@ Derek's Daily 45

"This band was formed in Cleveland in 1967, and Eric Carmen joined later in the year when he was turned down to be a member of (other huge local band) The Choir. Eric also snagged guitarist Wally Bryson (fresh out of the Choir) to join Cyrus Erie, and Cyrus Erie became a local phenomenon, covering the likes of the Who and Small Faces in addition to their originals."

"Dum Maro Dum" from "Hare Rama Hare Krishna"

The Record Brother turned me on to this.

Jeremy Spencer

The Hound says: "The original Fleetwood Mac (1968-1971) were a very different band than the one that conquered the American airwaves in the late seventies and became on of the biggest bands in history.
The originals group-- Peter Green (guitar/vocals), Jeremy Spencer (slide guitar/vocals), John McVie (bass) and Mick Fleetwood (drums), supplemented in 1969 by Danny Kirwan (guitar/vocals) were a hard rockin' blues band, one of the best ever, with a great rhythm section and a triple threat front line who took their American blues influences and created a totally unique sound. I prefer them to anything Eric Clapton ever did, not to mention anything Jeff Beck or Jimmy Page did after the Yardbirds. Much has been written about Peter Green so I'll leave the subject alone for today to concentrate on Jeremy Spencer's contributions" Link.

"Walk Away Renee" - The Left Banke

Another great summer song. Sad but beautiful. Buy There's Gonna Be A Storm by the Left Banke.

Billy Stewart "Summertime"

My favorite version of "Summertime".
Buy 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Billy Stewart

The Remains - "Let Me Through" (Live)

I've spent the better part of the last couple weeks looking at Garage Rock videos and trying to compile the best quality ones I could find. I was really struck when I discovered this one, because it's just about the only one I could find (the other being The Monks on the German show "Beat Beat Beat") where the band is actually playing live and not just miming to the record. And they sound awesome. I'm no Garage expert but I 'm pretty sure that The Remains were one of the best Garage Bands, musicality-wise. They sound amazing here. (I should add that I'm talking about US Garage Bands, there's alot of great live video of Euro and UK Garage and Psych bands, mostly from the German TV show "Beat, Beat, Beat")
Buy The Remains on Amazon.

Screaming Jay Hawkins' "Frenzy!" (Cinebox)

I recently found came across this weird animated Cinebox film of Screaming Jay Hawkins' "Frenzy!". Primitive, but so was Screaming Jay.

Hullabaloo Salute To "Rubber Soul"

Man, they loved those Beatles Medleys back in the 60's and 70's... Here, the Righteous ("Righteous, where do you see righteous you greaseball?") Brothers and Nancy Sinatra tackle songs from "Rubber Soul" with predictable results (very lame but slightly amusing).
Righteous Brothers – "I've Just Seen A Face"
Nancy Sinatra & The Righteous Brothers – "Run For Your Life"
The Righteous Brothers – "Girl"
Nancy Sinatra & The Righteous Brothers – "Wait"
The Righteous Brothers – "Michelle"
Nancy Sinatra & The Righteous Brothers – "I've Just Seen A Face" (end of medley)

The Flamingo Club in Wardour Street and the fight between Johnny Edgecombe and ‘Lucky’ Gordon

"It’s not widely known but Georgie Fame was slightly connected to the Profumo affair, the political scandal that led to the resignation of John Profumo the Secretary of State for War in October 1963, and ultimately the Conservative government a year later in 1964". Link @ Another Nickel in the Machine

At Long Last: ‘Tim Buckley - Live at the Folklore Center, NYC - March 6, 1967′

My old friend Andy Schwartz has re-started his old fanzine "New York Rocker" as a website and blog. He writes  "On a visit to my former Sony Music office circa 1999 from his adopted city of Stockholm, the one and only Izzy Young entrusted me with a reel of analog tape containing his one and only recording of Tim Buckley’s first New York concert. Appearing March 6, 1967 at Izzy’s Folklore Center in Greenwich Village. Tim performed a lengthy set for an estimated 35 listeners accompanied only by his own 12-string acoustic guitar."
