The Associates - Party Fears Two 12". I don't even know how long it is since I heard this song. | ||
| Andrew Kerr Member Username: Andrew_k Post Number: 1013 Registered: 04-2005 |
"Highway 61 RevisIted" even ! No Pádraig the copy I was playing I probably bought in the late '70s. I do have another copy, probably a 60s original but it is unfortunately in a terrible condition. I found it in a house in Melbourne, where I was living for a few months in the mid '80s. The owner didn't want records anymore, but most of them were unplayable. The sleeve is beautiful though ! Laminated, with different photos and layout (including list of musicians) on the back cover. I grew up listening to a friend's mono copy of The White Album. When I finally bought my own (stereo) copy there were some marked differences. Lennon screaming "I've got blisters..." after "Helter Skelter" just doesn't exist on the mono copy. I almost died of fright the first time that came blasting out of the speakers ! PS "Party Fears Two" still sounds like it comes from another universe ! Unique. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 7483 Registered: 05-2005 |
I didn't know "I've got blisters..." was not on the mono version. That would be scary, hearing it for the first time! The Associates get a lot of love on this site, which is nice. Right now I'm listening to a wonderful power pop band called Lolas. | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 3563 Registered: 03-2005 |
I'd never heard anything by the Associates when I started participating on this board. I saw their albums in the stacks forever but I couldn't get around to everything and never got to them. Jeff was (and is) a big fan. When I first heard a few numbers of theirs that he sent to me I thought "oh god, just what I need to hear, another histrionic queen." Not easily daunted by a "meh" response, Jeff kept sending me tracks and finally he sent Party Fears Two which is one of the most perfect synth pop records I have ever heard. Like so many of the greatest records it is not known in the United States of Nowhere. Then Spence sent me a crappy live recording of Billy Mackenzie backed by Malcolm Ross. It didn't even have Alan Rankine on it. I don't know what the song was but the performance was jaw-dropping. I should dig it out of the old computer and burn it onto a disc. After that I was sold. It's really shocking to me that the Associates' records have not received the reissue love. Bizarre. I still do not have a copy of Fourth Drawer Down. I ordered one in the early part of this year but it never arrived. | ||
| Andrew Kerr Member Username: Andrew_k Post Number: 1014 Registered: 04-2005 |
Randy, Think that the recording that Spence sent you was probably with Paul Haig, rather than Malcolm Ross. He sent me the recording of the Wilkie House gig in Edinburgh and I had had the luck to be there. A brilliant evening. One of my few regrets in life in life is to have missed Mackenzie joining Malcolm's band (with his American friend Spike Priggen) one evening in a dodgy nightclub in Edinburgh. Friends that were there said his version of "Wild is the Wind" was unbelievable. However I was at the night before when Paul Haig joined Malcolm for a few choice Velvets' covers. Strangely for such an outgoing performer Mackenzie always seemed very lowkey and quite shy when I saw him around. I was night manager in one of Edinburgh's old prestigious hotels and the band booked in for a whole week, before their Edinburgh festival performances. A memorable moment was delivering room service to the most delectable Martha Ladly (of the Muffins fame), who answered her door wearing only a very small towel. One of the night porters asked me who the group were and when I explained that they were going to be playing several concerts he replied "On the strength of the arguments I've been hearing in the bar I very much doubt it" The gigs were indeed cancelled and shortly after Rankine left, although he continued to stay in the hotel quite often. | ||

Andrew you are correct. I went back to my old computer and it was Paul Haig and Billy Mackenzie. As a singer Mackenzie had such a vivid personality; it's amazing that he was so reticent about stage performance. That's one of the factors about him that works in his favor, in my book. Hugh, you don't do things by half measure. I haven't heard the live set but of the two studio albums at this point I like the second one better. | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 3565 Registered: 03-2005 |
Moving back in Scottish time I am listening to: The Poets--Wooden Spoon, the Singles Anthology 1964 - 1967 I already have another set by this overlooked Glasgow band who were discovered and initially produced by Andrew Oldham. That earlier set includes some really great unreleased numbers dubbed from scratchy horrible-sounding acetates. The problem is that the regular released numbers on that CD were also dubbed from vinyl so I decided to see if the tracks on this version released by Cherry Red imprint Grapefruit come from a better source. They do indeed seem to come from a better source, most obviously the great bass-driven second single, "That's the Way It's Got to Be" with its non-jangly electric 12 string lead. This totally unsuccessful a-side was followed by the equally unsuccessful "I Am So Blue," a moody asymmetric minor key number with odd percussion effects and an equally peculiar b-side "I Love Her Still." The Poets defied the then-current rock songwriting conventions to make mysterious songs with odd time signatures and peculiar chord sequences. Though from Glasgow their music sounds like it comes from one of those subterranean closes in Old Town Edinburgh complete with smoky fires and sweating stone walls. The Poets' askew presentation conjures visions of lizards and crickets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2PBoUBX Y4w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqv4JWeG gh8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5iZGBVP nhg After having lost all of their original members, for their final single they released a last hurrah--the Freakbeat/Northern Soul classic "Wooden Spoon." Personally I like the spooky earlier numbers better, but as a last-ditch cash-in it's pretty good. This is strictly for folks with a taste for mid-60s beat-era guitar bands. They're idiosyncratic in sound and, well, they're Scottish goddamn it. | ||
| Hugh Nimmo Member Username: Hugh_nimmo Post Number: 855 Registered: 03-2007 |
Randy, I do tend to be a bit of a completist when I like an artist or band. The live album was released back in 2004 and good copies are becoming expensive / hard to source so I thought I would grab one while I still could. I have the ealier set by The Poets ( Scotland's No. 1 Group.) A terrible recording which does not do the band justice. Currently listen to :- The Devoted Few - Billboard Noises. Finally managed to source a used copy after several years of searching. | ||

Pale Lights -- Before There Were Pictures I've had this on CD for maybe a couple years at the most. I also had the vinyl but have only been able to play it in the past month. It is heaven to me. Two sides of five songs, loosely 20 minutes each, the way God intended music to be heard. The singer and songwriter, Phil Sutton, is British but the rest of his band is American and they operate in Brooklyn. I never really feel like trekking over to NYC. Except this band might make me touch down. Only for this band. Otherwise I'm staying on the plane and getting off at LHR. Here's something relatively new from them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4-rli3Y mC0 I would like to post either "Manhattan" or "Waverly Place" but neither turns up on my search on youtube. The first is from the album I've named above. The other is from an earlier 4 song EP. | ||

Girl Band – Holding Hands With Jamie. Easy listening it ain't. Reminds me of Whipping Boy, a bit (not least in the singer's Dublin-accented vocals), and Sonic Youth, a lot. I would have adored this 20 years ago. I like it a lot now too, but not like I would have in the mid-90s. | ||

Andreas, I think that Alan Horne restarted the label to put out the Orange Juice demos ("Ostrich Churchyard") and the singles compilation CD ("The Heather's on Fire"). But it also released the 2 wonderful Paul Quinn CDs and 3 Nectarine No.9 CDs...their first "A Sea With 3 Stars" is less guitars and more electronics. Quirky! I saw Nectarine No.9 live several times and they were pretty inconsistent! But on a good night you could believe that Davy Henderson was a genius. And his current band The Sexual Objects are putting out some great things too...just not that easy to find !? | ||

Joan Shelley - Over and even An impulse buy which, for once, I will not have to groan out loud at every time my eyes flick over its cover on the shelf. Something about it having been written on a Greek island intrigued me and, indeed, track 5 is an echo/homage/steal of other songs written on a Greek isle by a certain Mr Cohen - in fact, if he is still having money problems, I reckon a plagiarism hit might be quite fruitful here. Shelley has one of those clear, bell-like, crystalline voices that sits perfectly over the golden shimmer of acoustic guitars: she is already being called the "new Joni" though the "new Judy" might be more appropriate. There is a great deal of heart-lifting tunefulness here and it provides a warmly pleasurable listen. | ||

Last night I listened to: Francoiz Breut--s/t Her first album. Geez, what a great album! Francoiz Breut is one of my favorite artists still making records, but I've tended to rely on her various songs popping up in shuffle mode on the iPods and probably haven't sat down and played the actual album in something like 5 years. I wonder if this might be one of her records that inspired Grant McLennan to rate her highly. I always assumed it was her second album but this one is superb. The spare well-considered arrangements and the quality recorded sound show off a recently-acquired set of 1960s vintage British Wharfedale loudspeakers to great effect. |
