SIMPLE MINDS : Chelsea girl


Acquired Woolworths in London in late 1983
Ref: ZUM 11 - Published by Zoom in Scotland in 1979
Support: 45 laps 17 cm
Titles: Chelsea girl - / - Garden of Hate

I think I remember that I had this 45 rpm in a batch of ten discs packaged in plastic bought from Woolworths in central London, as Mystic Knights of the Oingo Bongo . If so, since this is a group known one can be sure he was one of only two drives in the batch that the pocket was visible.
Chelsea Girl is the second single from Simple Minds, released a few weeks after the album and single titled Life in a Day ( Chelsea Girl is on the album). I bought this album when I had already Real to Real Cacophony and I remember it was pretty hard decried at the time. I had read at least one chronic who saw Simple Minds simple followers Magazine or XTC , even to hire their producer John Leckie, who in fact was not their first choice : they would prefer John Cale or John Anthony, the producer of Van Der Graff Generator.
The group quickly denied this album before released the second in the aftermath a few months later. This is certainly not a masterpiece, but also a very successful pocket, it provides at least two great songs, both singles, Life in a day and Chelsea Girl . Except that at the replay, the musical reference points seem to look more towards Ultravox! , Sparks, Roxy Music, the Stranglers or Velvet Underground than Magazine.
While the cover of the 45 laps Life in a Day was more than minimal, that of Chelsea Girl is almost luxurious, with a painting the face, Thomas Rathmell, and the back of Mary Ruth Craig. In fact, the latter who was first contacted for the cover, but was most inspired by the B-side, Garden of hate, and produced a beautiful picture though dreary that s' is naturally found on the back. To the front is Jim Kerr, who spotted the painting among counsel for Arista Records. He found it perfectly suited to illustrate this song, whose character is based on the model of Swingin 'London Jean Shrimpton . On
Chelsea Girl, Simple Minds is in its register more electric than synthetic. There is a big fat guitar riffs and even a solo. It's a song I still like very much, with a refrain not really pop but it works well. A few weeks after much listening Rock and Roll Heart by Lou Reed to chronicle the relationship of Chelsea Girl with Temporary Thing, reported by the site simpleminds.org , I have not jumped ears. After checking, I appreciate what they have been bitten by Lou Reed to build their membership, but it is far from a real plagiarism.
In a similar vein, with the garden in the title, I had a flick at heart when they hear the intro synth Garden of hate, which made me think of the Chinese Garden Taxi-Girl . There is also a small link in the theme of the lyrics, but even if listening to this song any more composed after the sessions of the album, could very possibly start with Taxi-Girl's urge to compose Garden Chinese any comparison ends there: the song of Taxi-Girl is a success to one thousand leagues above that of Simple Minds.

PRELUDE : Out there


Acquired on a garage sale around 2009 Epernay
Ref: 45.PY.3052 - Published by Pye in France in 1974
Support: 45 laps 17 cm
Titles: Out there - / - After the goldrush

Mojo recently devoted its cover to Neil Young for the forty years of the album Harvest . On this occasion, they produced a list of fifty "best" songs selected and with commentary by journalists and celebrities, including Howe Gelb, who referred to arcade Music, a title he has a cover sublime. I reported this to the story because we know that these rankings are as valuable as a poll allegedly conducted in good and due form, but Music Arcade finds himself at the very bottom of the table and it After The goldrush is No. 1. That at least allowed me to learn this song, like much of the album was inspired by a screenplay by Dean Stockwell and Herb Berman for a film that never happened. The theme the song remains enigmatic, but it obviously turned around ecology.
For years I refused to be interested in this period of Neil Young. Full new wave, I rejected particularly Harvest, which I thought was a typically hard hippies. I changed my mind since, and when I saw After the goldrush on the record sleeve of an unknown group, my curiosity was aroused and I took it. I do not know anything about this group, and at first view the scale model, I even thought it was called Out There and the A side was After the goldrush . In fact, Prelude is an English band and this is his first 45 laps, taken from their debut album How Long Is Forever? . Side A
Out there has all the attributes of the folk-rock song, between the Byrds and Fairport Convention , but there is something wrong, a rhythm a little lame, the ingredients do not mix well and it is frankly not a success.
is awaiting a bus that members of Prelude began to sing After the goldrush . That they liked and they recorded this great a cappella version, more Crosby Stills-Nash & Young-CSNY than themselves, which quickly found itself facing a A second edition of the 45 laps because it is this title which was a hit in Britain and the United States in 1974. It is also virtually the only tube Prelude , apart Platinum blonde in 1980, but it was twice as a new version was also ranked in the English charts in 1982.
In preparing this post, I (re) discovered with great surprise that I had since August 2008 in my iTunes version of After the goldrush by ... Nana Mouskouri! Nana was certainly inspired by the success of Prelude to include its version, also has cappella cover album in its Nana's book of songs appeared in the same year 1974. It's weird, but when she sings in English Nana gives me the impression of having a lisp (Nana has often performed this song on stage, as here in Monte Carlo in 1981 ). In style, it's worth the cover of Still I'm sad the Yardbirds by The Companions Chanso n in 1965 under the title Ravens winter . This is the version that Patrick French Eudeline has performed live in Perpignan in September 2005, accompanied by Pascal Comelade .

A live version of 'After the goldrush 1984.

LE TONE : Joli dragon


Acquired probably in Reims in 1998
Ref: 004 / 3102-2 NV - Published by MangeDisc / Naïve in France in 1998
Support: CD 12 cm
Titles: Joli Dragon - Is it love - Joli Dragon (Mad Professor remix)

is the kind of thing a bit beta well stupid actually, which is perfect for me. A basic hip-hop, a hint of reggae, synth gurgling in the Perrey JJ (who The tone was honored with his first single Jean-Jacques and Dolphins) and some are looking for Judith nice dragon. Super.
In addition, it's not as if this thing happened to me from nowhere. It is as if the little dinosaur of Jonathan Richman had mutated nice dragon, gaining the ability to spit fire but lose all its verses. Since we are in the field of electronics funny, the approximation is more convincing with the famous Ball (come here)! of Production ptosis. I also think of a contemporary 1990s, Roudoudou and Peace and tranquility to Earth, and even more blatant on side B, Is it love , which starts way house music slowed sharply. The remix of
Joli Dragon by Mad Professor is too vague to be really interesting dub. Before consulting discography of The Tone , I completely forgot that, through its agreements with its shareholder Sony was Creation who released this record in England, where he has had some success . The English edition has many other remixes, but I am quite certain that only the original version is essential.

THE DAVE CLARK FIVE : Glad all over


Acquired at Age Concern in Dover December 29, 2010
Ref: DB 7154 - Published by Columbia in 1963 in England
Support: 45s 17cm
Titles: Glad All Over - / - I know After you

Lonnie Donegan and Johnny Kidd , here is a third and probably last record made in the small stack of 45s sixties found at Age Concern in Dover late December. As
Shakin 'All Over , Glad All Over was No. 1 in sales in England, early 1964, explaining that he can drag copies like this in the English province for years later. No. 1 above was I Want to Hold Your Hand and, like many English bands of the era, the entire route of the Dave Clark Five was done in the shadow of Beatles , including the United States where they were the second group of the British invasion to pass Ed Sullivan Show . The Dave Clark Five is a group that has been very successful, but not very good reputation and is instead relegated to the appendices of rock history. Significantly, perhaps I had one of their titles and there on compilations, but it's actually the first disc that I buy them, even if I had been a relatively short period of recovery time of Glad All Over by Pop Paraders .
I took the time to listen whole album of 1964 which the single figure and if the group was effective and dynamic place second knife seems artistically deserved. The song, often in several voices, is completely Beatles, as in hundreds of groups at the time. At music is often derivative, with decals credited to group members Twist and Shout (No time to lose ) and Tequila ( Chaquita ), a title inspired by the folk and gospel ( Doo Dah ) and good recovery Do you love me.
To stick to the 45s, the two sides are energetic and rhythmic. The B, I know you , a Beatles song decidedly too, but good guitar riffs and organ. The tube Glad all over the gun away Beatles and without a sound or garage tu Louie Louie , it is by its rhythmic, heavy drums (the drummer is the leader Dave Clark, whose instrument was placed in front on stage) and saxophone very fat, with a nice organ just behind. It will not look 12:00 to 2:00 p.m., but this title was released one year prior to the first Kinks riff is too often forgotten anthologies sixties.
The posthumous reputation of the Dave Clark Five was not favored by the jealousy aroused by the business sense by Dave Clark, who has retained the rights to such recordings, which allowed him to publish compilations of juicy, and acquired those of the BBC broadcast sixties Ready Steady Go! , whose reruns and video editions of the 80 included almost systematically, how strange, a benefit of the Dave Clark Five. One is never better served than by yourself ...
