Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

[GraemeE]

This one is silly in the best way and is hitting the spot right now

Best description is that's its an instrumental "jazz hands" version of McCartneys RAM

Totally unknown @GraemeE
Enjoyed this Wings, Paul and The Beatles wibe on my morning ride.
Heard ‚Revolver‘ after this.

First hear was at a beach bar on the Greece island Paros, one year after its release.

Still audible…

@Jett129 I'm counting on you to have a good story about a colorful interaction with lou reed

No pressure......

[Jett129]

@GraemeE Damn,Sorry,I’ve got nothing,never even saw him,met him and one of my closest friends was his personal assistant for years. I’m sure she could write a book with her stories.

[Jett129]

@GraemeE This is kind of like one degree of separation. Genya Ravan(Former lead singer with a band called Ten Wheel Drive)had signed a production deal with Media Sound Studios in NYC. It was her job to go out and find new bands and bring them to the studio and produce demos for them with the agreement that if they got signed as a result of those demos they’d record their album at the studio. An engineer there said I saw this band Sorrows at CBGBs you should check them out. Fast forward…She’s late getting to a session,she comes in all out of breath and excited because she had just been singing back up vocals on a song for Lou Reeds new album. And she thought it was the craziest/funniest thing that he had them sing…And the colored girls go. Do Da Do etc. etc. Had no idea as to what she was talking about and then the song comes out. We did get signed as a result of those demos,and recorded our first album at that studio. She didn’t produce our album,but she did produce The Dead Boys Young,Loud,and Snotty.

@Jett129 there we go - that's what I was looking for

You go from not having any good stories to an anecdote about the recording of one of the most iconic songs of the early 70s

10 out of 10

[Jett129]

@GraemeE Title track from the above anecdote.

[GraemeE]

@Jett129 i dont think ive heard them but on a quick web search there is a Joe Meek connection with at least some of their material so I'm game.

[Jett129]

@GraemeE Had to look up Joe Meek. There was another band with the same name,and maybe he worked with them. Definitely not us.

Easy saturday morning

[Inorganic]

You guys have those albums that instantly pull you back to moments in your life? This is one of those for me.

[Brian]

@Inorganic Very much so

Super lucky this weekend when my folks arrived from England
Mum brought over a pile of her 45’s from when she was a teenager
Even have stickers with her name on from when she used to take them to friends houses back in the day

First pressing of hey Jude

[Inorganic]

@Brian when they happen, those connections to our parent’s youth before we were around can reshape our opinions of them - or at least help to see them in a new light.

[Brian]

@Inorganic
We always had records playing growing up singles or lps
It’s what made my love of music really even if my taste didn’t align with my parents taste

[Steve]

a weekend pick-up, quite a specific time frame for this collection, but all top sounds

[Aetas]

Love Soul Jazz Record Presents @Steve
Especially the

[GraemeE]

@Brian that's my hope for my kids

@GraemeE

Jacob knows how to turn everything on and load up a record etc and how to set the needle
Not sure my taste is his taste but he never turns anything off that he puts on and it’s all a damn sight better than the commercial radio junk he would otherwise hear
