Blood, Sweat And Tears - Blood, Sweat And Tears

You are correct. I am a snob. I don't need a thesaurus. I know lots of words. So you don't agree with me? What the hell does it matter?
The Rolling Stones - Aftermath
posted a comment on The Rolling Stones - Aftermath. over 7 years ago
A thought on Rolling Stones' CDs: Personally, I do not trust them. I couldn't help but notice the very clean tracks (on CD) of their unofficial anthem '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction'. I'm used to hearing the record, with the acoustic guitar buried... See full review
The Rolling Stones - 12 X 5

As a Rolling Stones' fan back in the day, I purchased these albums as soon as they came out. I had never seen the English 'ear' presses until my collecting years. It's been stated that these versions, along with the dark maroon unboxed American... See full review

Stones' in 'electronically processed stereo' sounds bad to me. This is how London dealt with the Stones' first five albums. 'Aftermath' is the first true stereo Stones' album. (I am talking American London records releases, of course.) It appears... See full review

So all critiques must be positive and upbeat? Are you related to Joseph Goebbels?

Hey dashoost34,

I'm surprised you agreed with me (for the most part) about this album. I took down my negative review because I certainly agree with your last line. Plus, Hendrix invented his own language as a guitarist and was an incredibly gifted... See full review

Possibly the best Who song ever, with Keith Moon's drums playing the melody line and Pete's guitar in all its thrashing glory.

The Rolling Stones - Between The Buttons
posted a comment on The Rolling Stones - Between The Buttons. over 8 years ago
'Between the Buttons' is easily the most eclectic of any of the Rolling Stones' albums. Seems to me that the Glimmer Twins are all over the place. I've heard Mick Jagger speak of this album with disdain, but frankly, I don't get it. The album... See full review

Yeah, you're right...I even submitted the promo image. Must have gotten confused by the other listing, which is incorrect. Thanks for the note.

The Beatles - Introducing The Beatles
posted a comment on The Beatles - Introducing The Beatles. over 8 years ago
Looking back on Beatlemania, 'Introducing the Beatles' never felt like the real FIRST Beatles' album. 'Meet the Beatles' fits that bill perfectly because with the exception of one song, the entire album is composed by Lennon and McCartney. ... See full review

I originally thought 'Sister's' was the A side, but I believe according to Discogs rules it is not. I could be mistaken, but I believe I was corrected on this many years ago.

All in all, I still find this a very listenable album. Much like the Beatles' 'Introducing the Beatles', this first Rolling Stones album reveals a real magic for rock and roll music. Unlike Lennon and McCartney, Jagger and Richards were less taken... See full review

Great story there, Hoot...and appreciate your work in western films, too! I feel a bit bad for disparaging this album so, because there is a real charm to this recording, warts and all. I do get around to admitting that you guys were a great frat... See full review

I have very mixed feelings about this album. It contains some fine material along with some of the worst. Let's cut to the chase: 'Spare Chaynge' sounds like rambling garbage to me. 'The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil' retains some psychedelic... See full review

I agree with you on the Peabody label. It's a real work of art, fashioned after those old 78 Bluebird Records. I remember picking the album up at Dearborn Music in Michigan back in the day. Probably paid under twenty bucks for it. Only bought it... See full review

You mean that isn't Chilton singing 'Baron of Love'? I had just assumed it was Alex. Whatever, I think Ross does a perfect vocal .... you positive it isn't Alex? I eventually sold my Peabody copy. As you can tell by my review, I never considered... See full review

I always have a special fondness for this album, as it is back in the day when the Bee Gees were 'Beatle pop soundalikes'. They conquered this genre as surely as they were the masters of the disco seventies. Very listenable pop music to this day.

This is my favorite song by Ray, a hauntingly beautiful love ballad. The string arrangement is lovely.

Imagine a Bo Diddley record with a Bo Diddley beat, and you've got 'Gun Slinger'. I've always been fond of Bo. Must be that square guitar and the cowboy hat!

Bobby Vee turns the world of S and M and B and D upside down. Since it's Bobby Vee, the Jesus Christ of Pop Vocalists, 'punishing her' involves killing her with kindness, sending her daily flower arrangements. A throwback to much more innocent pop... See full review

Have no idea when this Moxie reissue appeared, but it's quite entertaining, as Frank's sense of pop music parody is in full bloom even in 1963. From dopey love songs to California surf music, Frank and Ray Collins skewer them all!

Deborah Walley was a very attractive sixties' movie actress. Her vocal talents are passable, but this material is very lame, the song's lyrics almost prophetically telling a tale of a woman who is 'tired of hating, tired of name calling...' sounds... See full review
