Baba Dise / Sensations - Wanted / I'll Always Love You - Gas 118

Baba Dise / Sensations

Wanted / I'll Always Love You

Gas: 118 (45s)

One of those elusive GAS 45's that rarely comes to market. Two great sides!

1969 Skinhead Reggae from Hopeton Reid under one of his several aliases, guided by the creative Winston Riley. Between them they craft an unusually catchy dance groove, the deliberately simplistic arrangement is peppered with Hopeton's squeals, shouts and chants. Penny-whistle decoration, blends in with a saxophone, sweeping percussion brushes across the whole arrangement, winning your undivided attention. Then addiction takes over, your hooked, soon requiring another hit of Winston Riley's off-the-wall-production.

Flip it over for cheeky but nice bit of plagiarism; Copying Ivy Joe Hunter & Mickey Stevenson's composition The Spinners hit with at Motown and The Gladiators wowed the Mods in the UK with the same year.

A strong version of The Spinners Motown classic, like The Gladiators on Direction steer away from Reggae toward a straight Soul version.

The Sensation take on this great song, they credit themselves as being the writers, naughty but forgivable as "I'll Always Love You" is again given the respect it deserves, giving up a captivating version.

Two great sides, check out the sound file because the vinyl has a few marks.

DAVID BOWIE rarity alert!

Radio station RARE 1971 Bowie promo from 17th. May 1974 in MANSHIP MINT condition.

The Arnold Corns were a band formed by David Bowie during 1971 this 45 being one of only two releases they had for this short lived Soho based UK label. Who were just starting to specialize in up and coming Rock bands

David Bowie wrote and produced both sides of this failed single, sang vocals and played guitar. It also marked a strengthening of the Bowie / Mick Ronson relationship as they journeyed towards the groundbreaking Bowie period of "Spiders From Mars" & "Ziggy Stardust" with The Arnold Corns project, the springboard for Bowie’s inventive side to coming to fruition.

Bowie took inspiration from Pink Floyd for this recording but shimmers with Bowie characteristics, being an important crossroads in the birth of "Spiders" & "Ziggy" and ultimately leading to Bowie's worldwide success.

As Bowie mania becomes even stronger, records relating to his early development are becoming increasing difficult to secure.. as wise vinyl investors swoop on every opportunity..

This immaculate promo is the attempt by B&C Records to cash in on Bowie RCA success, that attempt miserably failed, leaving this 45 as a very hard to acquire Bowie British artefact.

Rudy Mills / Bobby Ellis - A Long Story / Now We Know - Island WI 3092

Rudy Mills / Bobby Ellis

A Long Story / Now We Know

Island : WI 3092 (45s)

1967 Jamaican "Move & Groove" production by Derrick Harriott, a tight double helping of authentic uplifting Rocksteady.

Rudy Mills & Derrick Harriott collaboration, Rudy co-written with Derrick producing from his HQ at Derrick's One Stop 125 King Street, Kingston, Jamaica. Harriotts summons up a simplistic but highly effective horn section pumping up the landscape holding Rudy's long held vocal notes. Producing a sense of the music coming from above, hanging aloft in at atmospheric state of dance.

Flip it over Derrick conducts Bobby Ellis and the Desmond Miles Seven on an effective brass instrumental journey, peppered with almost flippant piano notes and drum rimshots, has trombones, saxophone, trumpets all bounce off each others audacious mingling. Drenched in feigned naivety; attempting and pulling off a simple-is-genius jam-session that you will find yourself playing many more times than once. Mission accomplish Bobby Ellis...

Presented here on the seldom seen 1966 UK press on the highly sought after red & whit Island imprint in fine clean condition.

David Bowie - The London Boys / Love You Till Tuesday - Decca F 13579 DJ

David Bowie

The London Boys / Love You Till Tuesday

Decca : F 13579 DJ (45s)

The rare PROMO copy made to promote with the coinciding British release in 1975 of the 1973 compilation David Bowie - Images - the disc combines the former "B" side "The London Boys" with the album version of "Love You Till Tuesday"

A 45 showcasing his early years, Bowie's Deram album "Images" from 1975. Picking out two early Bowie recordings, that are just to rare in the original form to contemplate finding.

"London Boys" a Bowie composition that started life as a Deram flipside to "Rubber Band" now considered by many as a masterpiece. Capturing the very essence of Bowie's creativity, with a hint of "Laughin' Gnome" moments in the arrangement. But this is no laughin' matter, as Bowie's poetry woven into a background of moody organ work pelted with a trumping euphonium. Bowie tells the story about a 17 year old MOD runaway from home for the first time, and the downfalls that are about to manifest themselves. The writing of a 19 year old proud of his London ancestry and neighborhood (Bright Lights of Soho - Wardour Street) as he walks you through the qualities of "his" Town and the London Boys and the inevitable loneliness and the temptation of drugs. This is Bowie at his most prophetic painting picture of the perils in London. Actually a work of sheer genius. As the sad story of a young MOD unfolds, regretting his decision to runaway to London.

The flipside again underlines Bowie's versatility with an upbeat mish-mash of cheery lyrics that make no sense but make you feel all the better for hearing it.

A Bowie time-capsule - presented here as a stunning condition 1975 British promo.

Very nice collectors-piece two fabulous windows into Bowie's teenage poetic mind.
