Italian-born Dana had been singing for well over a decade , cutting her first records in , of all places, South Africa. There she recorded for Columbia, and had several 45's released in the US also, including her soulful version of Paul Simon's YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOUR INTEREST LIES. She also had played on the stage, made TV appearances and cut other singles as well. She also is the sister to the late singer SERGIO FRANCHI. Her first US album was in 1972 with the Soul label, Brunswick, NOT THE FLOWER BUT THE ROOT. In 1975, she worked with ex-Mountain guitarist/vocalist/songwriter LESLIE WEST on his album, THE GREAT FATSBY, and also on this, her self-titled 2nd album. Both Dana's and West's albums may have been been recorded simaltaneously, as both came out in 1975, have the same musicians playing on both albums and were released on PHANTOM RECORDS. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">DANA VALERY is a great album of both rock, and some rock ballads. She's got an excellent voice that can sing out with power, or softer with restraint. Her version of the LOBO hit I'D LOVE YOU TO WANT ME is a perfect song for her, with acoustic guitars that build up as her voice carries the song to new heights. Neil Sedaka's SOLITAIRE is also in the same vein, another great take that stands apart from other versions. Biggest surprise is her version of The Rolling Stones' PLAY WITH FIRE. The production is a mix of powerful lead & background vocals, guitars and an atmospheric production. Sort of conjures up mysticism, and expands the short Stones version into a longer rock jam. LESLIE WEST surrounds Dana with production and playing that does not get in the way of the main attraction, her voice.<br /></div><div align="left">A mix of rock with some noteworthy ballads make this album a consistent listening experience. Other rockers include POWER TO ALL OUR FRIENDS, TO BE ALIVE, and MUSIC AND MY MAN , the latter 2 songs of which Dana co-wrote with Leslie and others . The more acoustic ballad oriented songs include the exquisite Paul Williams-Roger Nichols penned I NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD and Jimmy Cliff's MANY RIVERS TO CROSS. The Beatles' OB-LA-DI, OB-LA-DA is a fun version that opens up Side 2. Musicians include LESLIE WEST, CORKY LAING, HOWIE WYETH, DON KRETMAR, FRANK VICARI, TIM SAUNDERS, and SREDNI VOLLMER. Produced by LESLIE WEST at the renowned ELECTRIC LADY STUDIOS in New York.<br /></div><div align="left">This is a great, initially overlooked album that is being listened to today more than when it was released. Coupled with West's THE GREAT FATSBY, on which Dana contributed many lead & background vocals, this has some excellent music that stands the test of time. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"><a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/47880221/Dana_Valery_-_1975_-_ST__Leslie_West_-_Corky_Laing_.rar.html">Clique para baixar!</a></div>Melomano Discoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18019125990441375773noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883878866354400255.post-31430669103026021372009-07-11T12:31:00.000-07:002009-07-11T12:47:28.457-07:00The Jaggerz - 1970 - We Went To Different Schools Together<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHBjdotOTCphjC9_ZFcy2u4CkANWP08nbn-QFWvk5TV6_Qcu-rqg1YVDkjjubqLR-8ZSi2ozxMxZigFewDPM_4ikbsIpLC9TKzK9Y84bVtFy2YuUZyB7eOynMfsOhV9moQRjY_nI-gUtrS/s1600-h/Folder.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357291057256416962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHBjdotOTCphjC9_ZFcy2u4CkANWP08nbn-QFWvk5TV6_Qcu-rqg1YVDkjjubqLR-8ZSi2ozxMxZigFewDPM_4ikbsIpLC9TKzK9Y84bVtFy2YuUZyB7eOynMfsOhV9moQRjY_nI-gUtrS/s320/Folder.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div align="center">Kama Sutra KSBS-2017</div><br /><div><br />The Jaggerz are a pop/rock band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, often considered a one-hit wonder because their only major success was the single "The Rapper", written by Donnie Iris (who was then billed by his birth name, Dominic Ierace).

Lovecraft's collapse the band members scattered. Singer George Edwards stayed in California trying to form a new band, before giving up and returning to Chicago where he did some production work, including recording some material with friend Terry Callier. Drummer Michael Tegza also returned to Chicago where he joined The Bangor Flying Circus. </div><br /><div></div><div>The band signed with ABC's Dunhill subsidiary, recording an album, before calling it quits.<br />In 1969 Edwards and Tegza decided to resurrect the band. As the lone carryovers from the original lineup, they started recruiting musicians, eventually rounded out their lineup with former Aorta bass player Michael Been and lead guitarist Jim Donlinger. </div><br /><div></div><div>The foursome returned to California, settled into a big communal home, subsequently recruiting ex-Buckinghams keyboard player Marty Grebb and started rehearsing. Having shortened their name to 'Lovecraft', the band were signed by Reprise. Naturally another personnel disaster struck; founding member Edwards dropping out of the project. In spite of his departure the group continued on, recording 1969's self-produced, "Valley of the Moon" as a quartet. </div><br /><div></div><div>Musically the set proved a major disappointment on the heels of earlier efforts. With Donlinger and Been contributing the majority of material (Grebb kicking in three tracks), material such as 'Never Gonna Go Back', 'Two Step Tussle', 'Hopefully We'll All Remain Together' and 'Dear' found what was essentially a totally new band somehow managing to replicate some of H.P. Lovecraft's trademarked vocals harmonies, but losing much of the band's unique sound in favor of a commercial mixture of guitar rock. </div><div></div><br /><div>Certainly not as distinctive as earlier efforts, the collection was still worth a listen though it did little commercially. Reprise lifted one instantly obscure single from the LP.<br />- 1971's "We Can Have It Altogether' b/w 'Will I Know When My Time Comes' (Reprise catalog number 0996)<br /></div><br /><div>"Valley of the Moon" track listing: </div><br /><div></div><div>(side 1) 1.)

"We had Atlantic on one line and Amaret on the other. Amaret was decided upon because (managers) Traut and Golden felt we'd get buried with the Atlantic. In a matter of months, it turned out to be the biggest mistake we ever made." Between late 1969 and early 1971, Crow either opened for or headlined with Jefferson Airplane, Three Dog Night, Steve Miller Band, Steppenwolf, Eric Burdon & War, Janis Joplin (three separate times) and Iron Butterfly. The group was working more than ever, but seemed to be enjoying it less. “We were becoming more and more disillusioned with Amaret by the day," said Wagner. "We fought with them over our artistic direction. We had some really good material for what was to be our fourth album all ready. But they turned it all down saying it wasn't commercial enough, or it wasn't this or that." Elektra Records were very interested in the group, but Amaret wouldn't let them out of their contract, unless they wouldn’t use the name Crow. And Elektra didn't want Crow without their name. In the closing months of 1971, Dave Wagner, feeling there was absolutely no way out of the band’s financial and managerial mess, left the group. In 1972, Amaret released a “Best Of Crow” (Amaret AST 5012) as a sort of epitaph to a this unique band. That same year, Amaret was sold to MGM records. A deal was worked out with MGM for Dave Wagner to release a solo album. "They sent me a list of material to choose from, about twenty songs,” Wagner said. “One of the songs they insisted I re-record was a Micky Newbury tune we had done as Crow called 'Mobile Blues.' I worked with some top-notch musicians. Basically, MGM was fulfilling its obligatory contract to get the album (“Dave Wagner, d/b/a Crow”) out. They had no interest in really backing the project." And so, the album and Crow’s career, came to a quiet end.</div><div> </div><div><a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/40467364/David_Wagner_-_1972_-_d_b_a_Crow.rar.html">Clique para baixar!</a></div>Melomano Discoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18019125990441375773noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883878866354400255.post-53723876957246996822008-09-13T12:11:00.000-07:002008-09-13T16:51:42.592-07:00Sweathog - 1971 - ST (Southern Rock) CBS/Columbia 30601<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim8YQSRsjWsi3y6hlo3Sj7lKXxi_KWf9dBxDOvVrP5oLG637ntXe8JMo-upWB-wCr_zGXbTlIFgo1SLmTvTxiCA8XJItWL9RC1vrL4fpYMv4lwSlgwuXSmQXBFkCjwyLyFE7FWFnmq_TXx/s1600-h/Folder.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245586414020929554" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim8YQSRsjWsi3y6hlo3Sj7lKXxi_KWf9dBxDOvVrP5oLG637ntXe8JMo-upWB-wCr_zGXbTlIFgo1SLmTvTxiCA8XJItWL9RC1vrL4fpYMv4lwSlgwuXSmQXBFkCjwyLyFE7FWFnmq_TXx/s320/Folder.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div>Sweathog was a San Francisco-based quartet whose sound was fairly far removed from the music normally associated with that city.

They were not bad as singers, either, with <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:hnfrxq95ldde">Goldsmith</a> handling the leads. Their music was a mix of Southern-style soul, early-'70s funk, and blues, all wrapped around a virtuoso rock sound. The group was signed to Columbia Records at the time of that label's fixation on West Coast acts, under <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:dvfrxq85ld6e">Clive Davis</a>'s regime — they were always looking for another <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:3ifuxqw5ldse">Big Brother & the Holding Company</a>, or something to take the place of that act on their roster. The group's self-titled debut album passed mostly without a musical trace, without an AM radio hit to drive sales, though its cover image of bare buttocks was censored in various countries. In 1972, they seemed to hit paydirt with their single "Hallelujah," a driving piece of explosive Southern-fried rock & roll with a soul edge that was a killer showcase for all four players (especially <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:dbfixqu5ld6e">Frosty</a>). It got to number 33 on the national charts, but that relatively modest performance doesn't indicate how popular it was on the radio, where it got airplay closer to that of a Top 20 hit. The song got the album (also titled <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:gcftxq95ldse">Hallelujah</a>) into stores, at least, but it never sold in huge numbers, despite a respectable promotion effort and a lot of exposure for the band, touring behind <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:gifoxqw5ldse">Black Sabbath</a>, among other top acts of the period. They broke up in 1973, and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:hnfrxq95ldde">Goldsmith</a> later played on <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:d9fwxqygldse">Martha Reeves</a>' first post-Motown solo album before joining <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:hpfuxq95ldde">Stoneground</a>. </div><div> </div><div><a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/40465581/Sweathog_-_1971_-_ST.rar.html">Clique para baixar!</a></div>Melomano Discoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18019125990441375773noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883878866354400255.post-62850763205095199392008-09-12T14:34:00.000-07:002008-09-13T16:51:52.755-07:00Felix Pappalardi - 1979 - Don't Worry Ma<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZz-OTdfxIUtqPqGLWwgiaHz1HxXkHB5NOOKMD1S5ZVKmfvWqGnFazPjO2Kh-xoiqOUl3FeyECfPyWgAwL6Hc6vENMbWPbtxW7q5ad08_h0v204GMF4wrxNGqjFmmFCa4ADHng3PxRgQ0x/s1600-h/Folder.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245251831255133570" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZz-OTdfxIUtqPqGLWwgiaHz1HxXkHB5NOOKMD1S5ZVKmfvWqGnFazPjO2Kh-xoiqOUl3FeyECfPyWgAwL6Hc6vENMbWPbtxW7q5ad08_h0v204GMF4wrxNGqjFmmFCa4ADHng3PxRgQ0x/s320/Folder.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />1939 - 1983"Don't worry, Ma."<br />Felix Pappalardi is best known as the producer of the blues rock trio <a onmouseup="document.cookie='lastnode_id=0; ; path=/'; 1;" class="populated" title="Cream" href="http://everything2.com/title/Cream">Cream</a>.

Blackfoot is a Native American-themed artist who was actually born Benjamin Franklin Van Dervort in Cleveland. The frontman for an Ohio band called <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:anftxqtgldke">the Ebb Tides</a> (as Benny Van), he re-formed the group under his most famous name around 1969 and recorded a single for Mercury called "Who's Nuts Alfred." An album, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:kvftxq95ldae">The Ultimate Prophecy</a>, followed soon after and found the group dabbling in acid rock and folk/country-rock. The group soon melted away after the LP's lack of success — though it's still prized in prog/psych circles — and Blackfoot went on to record the mid-'70s albums <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:3zfpxq95ldfe">The Song of Crazy Horse</a> and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:dzfpxq95ldfe">Southbound and Gone</a> for Fantasy Records.He retired from music in the '70s, but returned in 1988 with a new company, Sisapa Records, which signed and recorded <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:aifrxqe5ldfe">Marshall Tucker</a>, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:wifyxqw5ldte">Paul Cotton</a> (<a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:kiftxqr5ldhe">Poco</a>), and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:difixqw5ldte">Crazy Horse</a>, as well as Blackfoot himself on the 1991 album <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=2:TOKALA">Tokala</a> (a sequel to <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:3zfpxq95ldfe">The Song of Crazy Horse</a>). A popular artist in New Zealand, to where he often traveled for performing and recording, Blackfoot continued releasing albums during the '90s, including 1997's <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=2:OHIODREAM">Ohio Dream</a> EP and 1998's <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=2:FOOTPRINTS">Footprints</a>.

Pappalardi was born December 20, 1939, in the Bronx and studied classical music at the University of Michigan; upon returning to New York, he was unable to find work as a conductor and soon drifted into the Greenwich Village folk scene. He soon made a name for himself as a skilled arranger, and from there moved into record production, initially concentrating on folk and folk-rock acts like <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:TIMHARDIN">Tim Hardin</a>, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:THEYOUNGBLOODS">the Youngbloods</a>, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:JOANBAEZ">Joan Baez</a>, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:RICHARD&MIMIFARINA">Richard & Mimi Farina</a>, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:IAN&SYLVIA">Ian & Sylvia</a>, and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:FREDNEIL">Fred Neil</a>. However, it was Pappalardi's late-'60s work with the psychedelic blues-rock outfit <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:CREAM">Cream</a> — beginning with their second album, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=2:DISRAELIGEARS">Disraeli Gears</a> — that really established his reputation; Pappalardi sometimes contributed additional instrumentation for his imaginative studio arrangements and he and wife, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:GAILCOLLINS">Gail Collins</a>, co-wrote "Strange Brew" with <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:ERICCLAPTON">Eric Clapton</a>.In 1968, Pappalardi was asked to produce an Atlantic Records band called <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:THEVAGRANTS">the Vagrants</a>, which featured a young guitarist named <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:LESLIEWEST">Leslie West</a>. The following year, he produced <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:WEST">West</a>'s solo album <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=2:MOUNTAIN">Mountain</a>; after <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:CREAM">Cream</a> disbanded, Pappalardi and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:WEST">West</a> formed the hard rock band <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:MOUNTAIN">Mountain</a>, whose hit single "Mississippi Queen" remains a staple of classic rock radio. <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:MOUNTAIN">Mountain</a> broke up in 1972, reunited in 1974, and disbanded again in 1975; afterwards, Pappalardi was forced to, for the most part, retire from performing due to partial hearing loss caused by <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:MOUNTAIN">Mountain</a>'s extreme volume. However, he was able to return to production, and also recorded an album with the Japanese hard rock outfit <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:CREATION">Creation</a>, who had opened for <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:MOUNTAIN">Mountain</a> on their Japanese tours; <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=2:FELIXPAPPALARDI&CR">Felix Pappalardi & Creation</a> was released on A&M in 1976. In 1979, Pappalardi released his first proper solo album, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=2:DON\">Don't Worry, Ma</a>, which reflected his growing interest in funk, jazz fusion, and reggae, and featured a large supporting cast, including bassist <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:CHUCKRAINEY">Chuck Rainey</a> and drummer <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:BERNARDPRETTYPURD">Bernard "Pretty" Purdie</a>.On the night of April 17, 1983, tragedy struck: Pappalardi was shot once in the neck by his wife, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:GAILCOLLINS">Gail Collins</a>, and killed. He had been involved in a long-standing affair with a younger woman, of which <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:COLLINS">Collins</a> had knowledge; however, a jury supported <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:COLLINS">Collins</a>' claim that the shooting was accidental, occurring while Pappalardi was showing her how to use the gun. She was convicted of criminally negligent homicide rather than the far more serious charge of second-degree murder; sentenced to four years, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:COLLINS">Collins</a> quietly disappeared afterward. </div><div> </div><div><a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/40449650/Felix_Pappalardi___Creation_-_1975_-_ST.rar.html">Clique p/ Baixar!</a></div>Melomano Discoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18019125990441375773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883878866354400255.post-67565252426994423022008-09-10T16:38:00.000-07:002008-09-13T16:53:12.294-07:00Bugsy - 1969 - ST "Charley Maugh" Butterfield Blues Band<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtnAAPdgE9HrFBbvfG88EFMEprl6_tV1lXvwPEO9xPveyQQujVgdlsPmwacdULrWryhhu7krRuNiQ2S3BlXgb33Zi5V8u1SisZrpT5TSV2xMLaoB0PsZVkJOu5uJa0AregMZhto8Fv2h0m/s1600-h/folder.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244545017732695410" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtnAAPdgE9HrFBbvfG88EFMEprl6_tV1lXvwPEO9xPveyQQujVgdlsPmwacdULrWryhhu7krRuNiQ2S3BlXgb33Zi5V8u1SisZrpT5TSV2xMLaoB0PsZVkJOu5uJa0AregMZhto8Fv2h0m/s320/folder.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Primeiro Album Solo do Baixista / Vocalista da banda de Paul Butterfield</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Blues Pop Psych</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>DOT Records DLP 25917 - 1969</div><div> </div><div><a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/40444598/Bugsy_-_1969_-_ST.rar.html">Clique para baixar!</a></div>Melomano Discoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18019125990441375773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883878866354400255.post-51493961824452965752008-09-10T16:17:00.000-07:002008-09-13T16:52:56.891-07:00Mason Proffit - 1971 - Last Night I had The Strangest Dream - Country Rock<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT2Z6Srm1x6cj9c0Z9kI1jHK1U-9QzPIWmdPzuZD8D4NELLT81eSsn4j_YexNbT1-GvS4JrzsFZLDkUMzBjrBMCldBbcdxhUQpKfJPea5UI61Vjkga_rREFupl6QIiWV6nMwAhZrT-Xjg9/s1600-h/Folder.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244536214126109954" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT2Z6Srm1x6cj9c0Z9kI1jHK1U-9QzPIWmdPzuZD8D4NELLT81eSsn4j_YexNbT1-GvS4JrzsFZLDkUMzBjrBMCldBbcdxhUQpKfJPea5UI61Vjkga_rREFupl6QIiWV6nMwAhZrT-Xjg9/s320/Folder.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div>Though this album sank without a trace when it was released, time has been kind to Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream, and it is now hailed as a work of genius. Justifiably so, since every track is proof of a band with wonderful instincts for melody and how to frame a musical idea. Mason Proffit was an ensemble that played a blend of music that was more country than rock, with occasional folk and blues influences to make things interesting. Though a few of their songs were straightforward love songs and celebrations of country virtues, many were uncommonly sophisticated for 1971. The song "Jewel" is a pure tearjerker, a sad tale of a young black woman who is used and abandoned by a wealthy white man. The tragic story is set to a weeping steel guitar and is sung in a voice that sounds anguished, and it is a marvelously affecting track. The title track and "Eugene Pratt" are noteworthy for their gentle insistence that something is wrong with the society in which we live, and something should be done about it immediately. Other bands were experimenting with country-rock but never achieved this subtlety and grace, and there was a whole genre of protest music which lacked those same two attributes. The fact that both were in the same package, but were ignored at the time that they were released, is just a darn shame. This band's catalog cries out for a re-evaluation and re-release, starting with this album. ~ Richard Foss, All Music Guide </div><br /><p><a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/40444569/Mason_Proffit_-_1971_-_Last_Night_I_had_The_Strangest_Dream.rar.html">Clique para baixar!</a></p>Melomano Discoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18019125990441375773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883878866354400255.post-15488512380027093322008-09-10T16:10:00.000-07:002008-09-13T16:52:56.891-07:00Miguel Cantilo y Grupo Sur - 1972 - ST (Kubero Diaz)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU5tTzXAITVe_Cv4c9TuZGdsijRx1tfmSlGFlZ11I5Xw349FfOMSTzsp-Eqw8H5zyc-Z6jY2ukA05x9TVb1b3gOSInSZWS7X0DFUaEiiWRXE0hHFadkuD9KggnqE8763gS1k3IVSGTHEVL/s1600-h/Folder.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244534508567735986" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU5tTzXAITVe_Cv4c9TuZGdsijRx1tfmSlGFlZ11I5Xw349FfOMSTzsp-Eqw8H5zyc-Z6jY2ukA05x9TVb1b3gOSInSZWS7X0DFUaEiiWRXE0hHFadkuD9KggnqE8763gS1k3IVSGTHEVL/s320/Folder.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div>Argentinian Miguel Cantilo joined a hippie commune in the fall of 1972. There he wrote many songs together with Kubero Diaz (La Cofradia de la Flor Solar), incredible hard-psychedelia and a slight folk flavor at times. This is an absolute must for any psychedelic rock fan with overwhelming dual guitar, and no doubt it's one of the best Argentinian records of the '70s.</div><div> </div><div><a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/40444555/Miguel_Cantilo_y_Grupo_Sur_-_1972_-_ST__Kubero_Diaz_.rar.html">Excelente registro, clique para baixar</a></div>Melomano Discoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18019125990441375773noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883878866354400255.post-26189458709813353842008-08-30T19:16:00.000-07:002008-08-30T19:27:54.865-07:00Hustler - 1974 - High Street - UK Hard Rock<a href="http://www.alexgitlin.com/npp/hustler75.jpg"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.alexgitlin.com/npp/hustler75.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> Personnel:<br />Tony Beard - Drums<br /></span><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Kenny Daughters - Keyboards</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Steve Haynes - Vocals</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Mickey Llewelyn - Guitar, Vocals</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Kenny Lyons - Bass, Vocals</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Henry Spinetti - Drums</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">A heavy rock outfit with a good reputation. High Street is very much in Free/Bad Company mould. Tracks like Just Leave A Good Man and Jack The Lad are hard rocking songs with strong melodies and good vocals and guitar work. There are some mellower moments on Let The Wind Blow and Miranda, whilst The Hustler is reasonably orchestrated. Get Outa Me 'Ouse, the only track where Micky Llewelyn sings, is in a more pub-rock direction and Piranhas has a long instrumental break with keyboard progressive overtones in a Deep Purple direction. A good example of this genre.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Taken from The Tapestry of Delights - The Comprehensive Guide to British Music of the Beat, R&B, Psychedelic and Progressive Eras 1963-1976, Vernon Joynson ISBN 1 899855 04 1</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div><a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/40334989/Hustler_-_1974_-_High_Street.rar.html"><span style="font-family:arial;">Vale a pena conferir!</span></a></div>Melomano Discoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18019125990441375773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883878866354400255.post-6822281038891790622008-08-30T18:36:00.001-07:002008-08-30T19:28:08.132-07:00Tony Campello - 1965 - CS Pertinho do Mar / O meu bem só quer chorar perto de mim<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYZj2g_pSx4yUvAr_p9bry-BQcbUTzQNLLeG6fjt4-uNsctsjnZ3uBjv25StZcUmgoXPo_AdTNlrWjpNCL_S_rVDyaSP6Tj5e5ZgKuFscoFzF2BeKlZYazT9JSEL_oiP7bzbclaoK6HFeq/s1600-h/campello-p.jpg"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240491496935326594" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYZj2g_pSx4yUvAr_p9bry-BQcbUTzQNLLeG6fjt4-uNsctsjnZ3uBjv25StZcUmgoXPo_AdTNlrWjpNCL_S_rVDyaSP6Tj5e5ZgKuFscoFzF2BeKlZYazT9JSEL_oiP7bzbclaoK6HFeq/s320/campello-p.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><div></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Compacto Simples Lançado pela Odeon - 7B-125 em Setembro de 1965</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">01 - Pertinho do Mar (South of the border) [Jimmy Kennedy - Michael Carr - Versão Pepe Ávilla]</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">02 - O meu bem só quer chorar perto de mim (Hamilton Di Giorgio)</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/40359163/Tony_Campello_-_1965_-_Pertinho_do_Mar__CS_.rar.html"><span style="font-family:arial;">Vale a pena Conferir!</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><div></div>Melomano Discoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18019125990441375773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883878866354400255.post-44760683199448651742008-08-30T18:21:00.000-07:002008-08-30T19:23:16.824-07:00Tiger - Same - 1976 - pré Samson<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2fAUGAMs63AdBd0x3piBKHtYjxey78AWM-12i8K1vJan8EU-poYg0658nLmt4fS08TZMgyCNfO6JYyOYyITWRbtPuq3NSNmTOQHoG28jRqrAZQzPXHGBrU2byL9k6RJiQ-tC9kHZiPtOl/s1600-h/tiger.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240488853580390706" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2fAUGAMs63AdBd0x3piBKHtYjxey78AWM-12i8K1vJan8EU-poYg0658nLmt4fS08TZMgyCNfO6JYyOYyITWRbtPuq3NSNmTOQHoG28jRqrAZQzPXHGBrU2byL9k6RJiQ-tC9kHZiPtOl/s320/tiger.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/139022932/Tiger_-_1976.rar.html"></a>320 kbps - vinyl rip incluindo capa e contracapa<br /><div></div><br /><div>Big Jim Sullivan (guitar)<br />Nicky Moore (vocals)<br />Les Walker (vocals)<br />Ray Flacke (guitar)<br />Phil Curtis (bass)<br />Billy Rankin (drums)<br />Dave McCrae (keyboards)<br /><br />Discografia:</div><div>- same (retreat 6006) UK 1976<br />- Going down laughing (emi 3153) UK 1976</div><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/139022932/Tiger_-_1976.rar.html"><strong>Vale pela raridade!</strong></a></div><div> </div>Melomano Discoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18019125990441375773noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883878866354400255.post-30574111238316056972008-05-04T17:22:00.000-07:002008-05-04T18:32:44.462-07:00Glass Harp - 1972 - It Makes me Glad<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2563/2808/1600/11399/B000BFH2T6.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V1131649690_.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2563/2808/1600/11399/B000BFH2T6.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V1131649690_.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Rock progressivo com uma postura blues e um toque de cristianismo. É isso. Um bom disco de 1972 do Glass Harp.<br /><br /><br /><br />Glass Harp is known as much for its extended live jams and improvisations as for being the vehicle that gave rise to Contemporary Christian guitarist, singer and icon Phil Keaggy. Keaggy joined the band while still in high school and helped propel it from local to regional status and beyond. At its peak, Glass Harp toured with The Kinks (at Madison Square Garden), Iron Butterfly, Yes, Traffic, Humble Pie, Alice Cooper, Grand Funk Railroad, Ted Nugent and Chicago.<br />Phil Keaggy left Glass Harp in 1972 just after the release of It Makes Me Glad. The following year, after a brief stint with another influential Christian group Love Song, he recorded his first solo album, What a Day. Since then, Keaggy has released dozens of albums earning popular acclaim for his guitar virtuosity, songwriting and Beatle-esque vocal flavor. He also spent much of the ‘70’s and ‘80’s recording and performing with myriad Contemporary Christian artists while, in effect, helping to build the very healthy CCM genre.Bassist Daniel Pecchio later co-founded the Cleveland rock outfit the Michael Stanley Band. The group enjoyed a ravenous local following and a reputation as a great live band. The pop charts also boasted several AOR/pop singles from the band in the early 1980’s.Drummer John Sferra worked as a solo artist and has sometimes performed as a member of Keaggy’s band.<br /><p><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/112609059/Glass_Harp_-_1973_-_It_Makes_me_Glad.rar.html">Vale a pena Conferir!</a></p><p></p>Melomano Discoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18019125990441375773noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883878866354400255.post-60388680611738652202008-05-04T16:52:00.000-07:002008-05-04T17:03:46.958-07:00Grupo Mel da Terra<a href="http://i.s8.com.br/images/cds/cover/img3/1799433.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i.s8.com.br/images/cds/cover/img3/1799433.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Album de estréia do Mel da Terra, o grupo pop da cidade de Brasília, sucesso nos anos 80 com a música "Estrela Cadente".
