Kim Weston - "Take Me In Your Arms" (1965)
One of my all time Tamla Motown faves courtesy of the fantastic Ms Weston, with the late, great James Jamerson on his Fender Precision. I had the privilege of seeing her live @ Blackpool Football Club & heard this classic live !! Ner ner nene ner ner !
The Action (see previous post) did a decent version of this too.......
The Action - "I'll keep on holding on" LIVE ! Ready Steady Go 1966
Spencer Davis Group : Dust My Blues (1966)
Just about every 1960s Blues band played this Elmore James classic, but apart from Peter Green's version with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, in my opinion this is the best version by a UK group.
DEAD KENNEDYS : Holiday in Cambodia / Police Truck / MTV Get Off The Air
Sheer genius proto Punk from the United States... Flame Up the Herb, Woof Down the Beer.
Buzzcocks & Magazine : B'dum B'dum (Granada TV 1978) Full show...
The enduring genius that is Howard Devoto in The'cocks & then Magazine. Great footage from Manchester's Granada TV, 1st shown 1978. Apologies for the scary pic of Mick Hucknall on the vid title frame (above). Had I been a bouncer at Belle Vue then he wouldn;t have been able to have gone on to create such atrocious muzak.
Helena Ferguson : Soul Time (Come On and Dance Now)
Well... we always knew it as & called it "Soul Time"......
BOB & EARL : Harlem Shuffle
Great, much covered floor filler from my misspent (was it really) youth ...
Remembering Keith Moon......
In memory of the late, great & completely unique Keith John Moon, who died aged just 32, 38 years ago yesterday.
THE (ENGLISH) BEAT, MANCHESTER, OCTOBER 2016...
