MadScreamingGallery Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Thank you aen27 and MSG. Is it me or does he have the date wrong. He has 1969 but the record labels show 1965. You're welcome, Melanie. I think the date in Jimmy's title here is wrong - the records are from 1965 and by 1969 Nico had already been with Warhol and VU, although Jimmy says his affiliation with her was before that.

I guess another little goof! Some day they'll get this right. At least I hope! All three sides of the 45's say 1965 in the publishing criteria. Like this song. Like the editor's note!

SteveAJones Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 You're welcome, Melanie. I think the date in Jimmy's title here is wrong - the records are from 1965 and by 1969 Nico had already been with Warhol and VU, although Jimmy says his affiliation with her was before that. I believe the single 'I'm Not Sayin'/'The Last Mile' was recorded in May 1965 and released in September 1965, but August 19, 1965 works. Note The Yardbirds (with Jimmy Page), The Velvet Underground, Nico, Gary Lewis and The Playboys, etc. all performed during the "Carnaby Street Fun Festival with Dick Clark and his Cavalcade of Mod Stars" held at the Michigan State Fairgrounds Coliseum in Detroit, MI on November 18, 19 & 20 1966 (two performances played each day).

That's one reason why my friends and I were confused - this is the info for the photo I posted: The Exploding Plastic Inevitable/Velvet Underground played the Carnaby Street Fun Festival in Detroit on a bill with the Yardbirds on Nov 20th 1966. Andy Warhol presided over a wedding during the event. The unusual wedding ceremony included a man smashing a car with a sledgehammer and Warhol applying paint and ketchup to to a woman's paper dress while she was wearing it. Warhol's wedding gift to the couple was an inflatable copy of a Baby Ruth candy bar measuring five feet long. The couple was also invited to the Factory for a screen test. The wedding was part of the Carnaby Street Fun Festival in Detroit which also featured the Yardbirds, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Sam the Sham and Dick Clark. But Getty Images has this info for a similar photo:: My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swandown Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I believe the single 'I'm Not Sayin'/'The Last Mile' was recorded in May 1965 and released in September 1965, but August 19, 1965 works. The A-side was recorded in late May at Regent Sound. The B-side was recorded in late July, also at Regent. The single was one of 3 records released simultaneously on 8/20/65 to launch the new Immediate Records label (of which Page was a staff member). Supposedly, Brian Jones contributed guitar to the Nico sessions, but I don't detect any of his distinct sound on either track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireOpal Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Very interesting. I wonder what the first recording produced by Jimmy was. "I routined with Nico in her muse flat..." I can translate the mews flat part, but using routine as a verb has me confused. Here's Jimmy's song "Just Like Anyone Would Do" by Fifth Avenue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadScreamingGallery Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I love Jimmy's August 19 "On this day" - it is one of my favorite posts from his website. "The Last Mile" is intensely hypnotic (or hypnotically intense). I thought Nico was intriguing and beautiful and I was fascinated by the avant-garde and bohemian lifestyle she led (and the groundbreaking "punk before punk" music Nico and the Velvets created) - I'm glad Jimmy chose to feature his affiliation with her. Thank you aen27 and MSG. Is it me or does he have the date wrong. He has 1969 but the record labels show 1965. I notice the date has been corrected to 1965. Very interesting. I wonder what the first recording produced by Jimmy was. "I routined with Nico in her muse flat..." I can translate the mews flat part, but using routine as a verb has me confused. Here's Jimmy's song "Just Like Anyone Would Do" by Fifth Avenue My friends and I thought using routine as a verb might have been a euphemism (and maybe it is) because Jimmy writes of Nico's "muse flat" rather than "mews flat." Someone told us last night that he thought Jimmy's use of routine as a verb was an archaic/unusual way of saying that something (rehearsals, writing, something else?) was done according to routine.

Who knows what he said. It's quite clear On This Day is being presented by the same guy who says "Thank you for calling AT & T, how may I be helping you?" "Alexis Corner...routined...muse flat..."

Jimmy's earliest production credit is for the Gay Shingleton 45 "I Know You're Missing Her" b/w "In My Time Of Sorrow" (Reprise 0385, June 21, 1965). Just a hunch, but I'm thinking that Jimmy "routined" with Miss Shingleton (aka Gay Singleton) once or twice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
