Bought some really fine blues and r'n'b 45's:
Ann Cole with The Suburbans and Orchestra -
/ I've got a little boy (Baton 1957)This is the original verson which Muddy Waters later adapted.
Ted Taylor -
/ Top of the world (Okeh 1964)Henry Strogin - Misery / I cry like a baby (Hank 1961-65?)
Jennell Hawkins - Don't worry about me / I pity you fool (Dynamic 1961)
Johnny Watson - Sweet lovin' mama / What you do to me (King 1962)
Bobby Day and The Blossoms - My blue heaven / I don't want to (Class 1960)
Erlene and Her Girlfriends -
/ Casanova (Old Town 1963)Bo Diddley -
/ My story (Checker 1960)The Pygmies -
/ The other side (Liberty 1963)

Bought myself two 45's that have been on my want list for a long time, but have just not prioritized to buy them.. but finally they are in my possesion. The Pretty things are probably my favorite 60's British R'n'B band. They make the Stones sound like mother in law's favorite boys..
The Pretty Things - Midnight To Six Man / Can't Stand The Pain (Fontana 1966)
The Pretty Things - Honey, I Need / I Can Never Say (Fontana 1965)
Live:
Single:

Which is exactly why I quit lending out records a long time ago. Instead I'd offer to record 'em a copy on cassette or these days, on CD.
Yes, now-a-days there aren't many who wants to borrow vinyl anyway and those are the ones I treasure the most. Will probably not happen again.
-
Yeah, called Scandinavian Nights ?
Yeah, that and Wring That Neck are both over 30 minutes long !
The version I just bought was released in 2005 and is remixed from the original master tapes. The running order of the tracks is also different to Scandinavian Nights as they had to change them around bit to suit the time restrictions of vinyl.
Excellent live album anyway.
Yes, that was the title. I haven't heard it in almost 20 years. I remember Wring That Neck too!! If I come across it I'll buy it once again.
-
I used to have this on vinyl, which was released in the late 80's. If my memory serves me correct there were a really cool version of Mandrake Root on it.. Somebody borrowed the record from me, haven't seen it since that day.

I have proof that "The Hellacopters" have definitely made a mark here in NZ. I know I'm way off topic but I can't help myself! I have to tell you this!
About a month ago, I went to the Music Library at the University of Auckland (that's where I study by the way) to borrow Zep's biography "When Giants Walked The Earth". I (out of curiousity) was checking out the CD collection there (which depends on the music tastes of the Faculty of Music). I found the usual bands like Zep and Floyd. Just a couple of shelves away under "H", while I was looking for stuff by another fav of mine, "Herman's Hermits", (CDs are arranged as per the artist / band's name), I found "Supershitty To The Max"! (Seeing the back of the CD cover with the phrase "Respect The Rock" was so cool!) That was the only album by "The Hellacopters" I found there (unfortunately!
) but I just couldn't believe it to be honest! I got all excited and stuff and I listened to it, through my laptop and that really made my day! After listening to it, I made up my mind to buy it ASAP!! I really do wonder who on earth in the Faculty of Music is a fan! The tracks "TAB", "How Could I Care", "Born Broke", "24th Hell" and "Gotta Get Some Action Now" were instant stand-outs in my book!
Again, apologies for being off topic! I just couldn't help myself!
Oh and I'm thinking of buying "Rock & Roll Is Dead" and "Payin' Their Dues" next! LOL! I know! I have to control myself! But, I am obsessed!
Cool! :-) We used to have a great library in my home town as well, they had a great selection of music. I like the fact that they have music as well as books.
-
Yes, I love all their albums, Supershitty to the max is great. Another excellent album is Payin' the dues. It's somewhere between the sound of Supershitty and High Visibility. It's great to hear that the albums are available in NZ, I do believe they became quite popular there and in Australia and also went there and toured. They were big fans of Aussie band Radio Birdman, so that's probably why they went there in the first place.
-
Nice purchases there Kiwi.. All the Hellacopters' stuff!!
My latest findings are as follows:
Blues & r'n'b 45's:
J.B. Lenore (Lenoir) - Fine Girls / I Lost My Baby (Parrot 1955)
Howlin' Wolf -
/(Chess 1959)Jerry McCain and His Upstarts -
/(Excello 1957)Lightnin' Slim - Goin' home / Wonderin' and goin' (Excello 1956)
The Dubs - Could this be magic /
(Gone 1957)Garage 45's:
The Wailers -
/ Mau Mau (Golden Crest 1959)Awesome early garage r'n'b who greatly influenced The Sonics! The Wailers hailed from Seattle and made many great recordings.
The Sparkles - First to forget /
(Hickory 1967)Garage rock classic!
The Unrelated Segments - Cry cry cry / It's not fair (Liberty 1967)
Another garage rock classic and the third and last single from this excellent Michigan band.
The Free-For-All -
/ Blue monday (Challenge 1966)A fine and melodic single from Challenge with great fuzz guitar.
The Sonics -
/ Keep a-knockin (Etiquette 1964)The first single from this classic Seattle band, the no.1 garage kings!
The Hard Road - It's so hard to find / You rub me the wrong way (Lemon Lime 1966)
Great and obscure Ohio garage single!
The Blues Project -
/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPHlQ8SkZc4 (Verve/Folkways 1965)Top band with members such as Al Kooper and Mike Bloomfield! I love this stingin' version of Howlin' Wolf's Back Door Man!!
-
Yeah, it's great all the way through, very consistent. I just wish that lineup could've stayed together a bit longer and made another studio album. It's a shame some people dismiss it just because Blackmore isn't on it. Tommy Bolin was every bit as special in his own right before the drugs ruined him.
This cool jam by Paice and Bolin is one of the bonus tracks.
Yes, I am with you. I really like Bolins' guitar work.
Very nice jam!! Thanks for posting!
-
A great album is made even better.
That is indeed a great album! I love Gettin Tighter! Damn, I love the whole album! I have You Keep On Movin' on an original 45, which is a pretty cool song too.
-
Here are my latest purchase of 45's:
Elmore James & His Broomdusters -
/ Calling all blues (Chief 1960)Great Elmore tune recorded in 1957! B-side is incorrectly credited to Elmore James, while it's an instrumental performed by Earl Hooker, Junior Wells and band.
The Ambassadors -
/ Power of love (Reel 196?)Can't find much info about this great early rockin' r'n'b single. It's a FAB 45 though!
Otis Rush - I can't quit you baby / Sit down baby (Cobra 1956)
Original and greatest version of I Can't Quit You Baby, also successfully covered by Led Zeppelin. It was also the first single ever released on the Cobra label.
Roscoe Gordon -
/ Goin' home (VeeJay 1959)Great single with a tune that have been covered by many great artists.
Annisteen Allen -
/ Wheels of love (Capitol 1955)Really funny, swingin' and cool single by underrated and forgotten r'n'b vocalist Annisteen Allen!!
The Olympics - Western movies /
(Demon 1958)Most known for Western Movies, but my fav is the rockin' B-side!!!
The Capitols -
/ Hello stranger (Karen 1966)Great and classic r'n'b mover!!
Emmylou Harris - Here there and everywhere / Together again (Reprise 1975)
Great single, one Beatles classic and one classic country song which Emmylou does absolutely fabulous!
Emmylou Harris -
/ One of these days (Reprise 1975)Probably my biggest fav Emmylou song of all times, her version of Rodney Crowell's Till I Gain Control Again. Soooo beautiful!
-
Got myself another four great rhythm and blues 45's:
Ole Sonny Boy - You Better Change / Blues And Misery (Excello 1956)
Bobby Parker -
/ Steal Your Heart Away (V-Tone 1961)Nathan McKinney -
/ Weep No More (Ray Co 1964?)Lattimore Brown and Orchestra - Teenie Weenie / Night Time Is The Right Time (Duchess 1961)
-
^^ That's pretty cool. I've never heard that version of Smoke in the water.
-
LOL!
I really love the way the bloke singing it giggles! And this song sort of reminds me of the song "I Feel Good"! LOL! I don't know why exactly! And the lyrics are hilarious too! Thanks Swede! LOL, yes the lyrics are hilarious and weird. And the giggles sure are funny!
-
This one cracks me up:
-
^^ Cheers! I will have to check it out.
-
^^ Cool, thanks. Is it a complete concert?
-
^^ Great sound! Is it taken from an offical live release?
-
On Friday, The Flight Reaction.
On Saturday, Moving Sounds.
In other words, a very Mod 60's weekend.
-
God damn it, I can't stop listening to The Sadies new album, Darker Circles. I highly recomend it!
This is one of my favorites, a really beautiful song:
Second single and video from Darker Circles:

I'd like to recomend checking out UK singer/songwriter Pete Molinari. He's got a great voice I think. He has made three album, the third, A Train Bound For Glory, which is recently released. He played here in Sweden last June, but unfortunately I missed his gig..

Here's a couple of tunes:

Ah, cool! Thanks for the tip! I do have Spotify and will check em out there.. Damn, that's a pretty good bonus buying those deluxe editions though!
-
Finally got a vinyl copy of:
The Sadies - Darker Circles (2010)
This one goes in the "best album of 2010" category for me!
While there I found a LP I have been looking for quite a while, and I bought that one too:
Baby Shambles - Shotter's Nation (2007)
Fantastic album, a modern classic!!
Ebay finds (all 45's):

On Topic: Does anyone have a suggestion for a compilation with outtakes, demos, alternative versions etc etc? It would be really cool to add to my collection and it would be interesting to hear the progress from early tapes to finished songs. Thanks.
) but I just couldn't believe it to be honest! 
I got all excited and stuff and I listened to it, through my laptop and that really made my day! 
I really love the way the bloke singing it giggles! And this song sort of reminds me of the song "I Feel Good"! LOL! I don't know why exactly! And the lyrics are hilarious too! Thanks Swede!

Well, it's better to have it on itunes than no copy at all.
I have a vinyl copy coming in the mail soon, and I know I am a lucky bastard.
