FLAMING CREATURES | Jack Smith 1961

The film, in full. 

The most famous (and arguably most notorious) of Jack Smith's films, a satire of Hollywood B-movies and a tribute to Maria Montez and made using discarded color reversal film stock .  Authorities considered scenes to be pornographic and copies of the movie were confiscated at the premiere (in 1967) and it was subsequently banned (and technically, are to this day).

Inspired by Maria Montez, with whom Jack Smith never met as she died (drowning in her bath) before he began making films, he prayed to her calling her "the Holy One" and "the Miraculous One." After a screening of one of her films, he told a friend, "The Miraculous One was raging and flaming. Those are the standards for art."

"It is a world of flowers of evil, of illuminations, of torn and tortured flesh; at  which is at once beautiful and terrible, good and evil, delicate and dirty... 

BOWIE 1965! ★ David Bowie

BOWIE 1965! ★
Released for Record Store Day 20 Apr 2013.  Reissue of  a 4-track limited 7” which collects together both of the singles Bowie released in 1965, with The Manish Boys and The Lower Third.  Not released in the US or Canada, EU release exclusively.  Sent to me my a mysterious friend and lets thank that person who did those great hd cover scans.

Tracklist:
A1 Pity The Fool [The Manish Boys]
A2 Take My Tip [The Manish Boys]
B1 You've Got A Habit Of Leaving [Davy Jones (& The Lower Third)]
B2 Baby Loves That Way [Davy Jones (& The Lower Third)]


Side One gives you the single released by Bowie's group of the time The Manish Boys - first up a version of Bobby Bland's "I Pity The Fool" which features a blistering guitar solo from Jimmy Page. Next up is the first Bowie song to make it onto vinyl - the distinctly Mod-flavoured "Take My Tip". Side Two has our man billed as Davy Jones & The Lower Third - and the tracks on offer here are firstly "You've Got A Habit Of Leaving" - which if it sounds slightly Who-ish should be too surprising as it's produced by Shel Talmy who was producing both bands at the time - and again featuring a Jimmy Page solo. The proceeding are rounded off with "Baby Loves That Way" another Bowie original and somewhat typical of the period.

LIVERPOOL ECHO

Liverpool Echo | S/T  2005
For fans of The Beatles, Merseybeat, and early ‘70s pub rock The first reissue in any format anywhere ever for this lost power-pop classic from 1973.

A band name borrowed from an old Merseybeat-era newspaper, a "Fabs" headlined copy of the paper for an album cover. Liverpool Echo have an uncanny grasp of the Merseybeat sound circa 1963 and 1964. But due to the record label's lack of promotion, both band and LP sank within seconds, to lie forgotten until revived by Rev-Ola.
