freely inspired by A Clockwork Orange. Restored and digitally re-mastered

Blues” and Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts returning to Olympic Studios and Jagger’s country house
Stargroves where a lot of the early work on the album was done. The film includes contributions from
all the band members: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman & Mick Taylor.
Additional contributions from: Martin Scorsese, Jack White, Don Was, Caleb Followill (Kings Of Leon),
Benicio Del Toro, Will.I.Am (Black Eyed Peas), Sheryl Crow, Anita Pallenberg, Ronnie Wood, producer Jimmy Miller, engineer Andy Johns, photographer Dominique Tarlé and sax player Bobby Keys.!! |
This CD reissue of the original 6 LP set is quite simply the greatest Texan psych/garage compilation
ever released. Mojo's Frank was lucky enough to hook up with the 3 guys from Austin who released these some 30
years ago and sold many copies of each volume in his days at The Record Plant. One of those guys is still active in the Austin scene running the twice yearly Record Fair.
The Lone Star State was home to a disproportionate number of fine
garage, psych and punk bands in the 1960s. This stupendous boxed set gathers together no fewer than
95 of their greatest moments, culled from some of the rarest singles ever issued. Complete with a
packed 32 page booklet (featuring discographies, rare pictures and background info), it’s a truly
essential purchase for all fans of snarling, snotty, sneering rock and roll. Preorder.

The Quine Tapes is a definitive document of the live Velvet Underground.
Captured on tape from performances in San Francisco and St. Louis between May and December of
1969, the recordings feature the Velvet Underground’s final lineup of Lou Reed, guitarist Sterling
Morrison, drummer Moe Tucker and bassist Doug Yule. The material includes incendiary
performances of such seminal Velvets standards as “I’m Waiting for the Man,” “What Goes On,”
“Sunday Morning,” “Femme Fatale,” “White Light/White Heat,” “Venus in Furs,” “Heroin,” “New Age,” “The Black Angel’s Death Song” and “Rock and Roll.” Also included is a rare performance of the “Follow the Leader,” an original song which the band never officially released, as well as stunningly different versions of the epic “Sister Ray.” The 6-LPs are packaged in three striking gatefold jackets with poster/handbill inserts, rare photos and a deluxe box.Recorded by Velvets fan and future alt-rock guitar icon Robert Quine (who would go on to play with the Velvet Underground’s leader Lou Reed more than a decade later), these historic Velvet Underground performances are now available on vinyl for the first time ever. The package features incredible new cover art commissioned especially for this vinyl release, plus rare photos, Verve label re-productions’s, poster/handbill inserts, and detailed liner notes by Rolling Stone’s David Fricke. Preorder.

Chain
Live Chain
CD
The post Wendy Saddington, pre Matt Taylor lineup of the band weren't together for long but with
the line-up of Phil Manning (guitar, vocals), Warren Morgan (electric piano), Glyn Mason (guitar,
vocals), Barry 'Big Goose' Sullivan (bass) and Barry 'Little Goose' (drums), their debut album " Live
Chain" is a terrific document ,recorded live to two-track at Caesar's Palace, Sydney on July 1970 -
for $32.00 - which was reputedly half the marijuana budget!
Close to impossible to find on LP this
reissue adds a track left off the original (probably due to time constraints, as the first two tracks take
up almost 25 minutes alone): 'On The Road Again' and their very first single, from 1969; 'Show Me
Home' backed with 'Mr. Time ‘.The line-up who recorded the single was Manning, Morgan and Harvey with Claude Papesch (organ) and Tim Piper (bass). Morgan and Papesch's piano/organ interplay was
reminiscent of The Band and a very early example of progressive rock in Australia , and 'Mr. Time' is
positively psychedelic!
For those who are only familiar with Chain via their 1971 breakthrough album "Toward The Blues", you may be surprised at how progressive this album is - a sound not too dissimilar to Blind Faith -
with an added twin guitar attack. It is still rooted in the blues, mind, with some awesome extended
soloing, but some of Morgan's piano is decidedly funky! ('Black And White'), whilst the riff-tastic
'Pilgrimage' would not sound out of place on Kahvas Jute's 1971 progressive rock classic "Wide
Open ". An absolute masterpiece and along with Carson the greatest Australian blues outfit !!
