Strange this one,that chas and dave ( under the name oily rags)recorded an LP with oliver nelson on flying dutchman records in 1974, I didn't purchase it as I was really dubious about it, was I right to do this?
I did pick up a double LP by peter covent though on philips from 1971 "the happy sound of" though not non stop thank goodness.It has great versions of "immmigrant song" "tequila" "house of the rising sun" and much more splendid happy madness.I picked it up as the name "Bearb" was on it, whcih I persume is the same guy from the chris bruhn LP "jump in" though I may be mistaken.
Picked a new James Last LP a month or so ago "james Last and the rolling trinity" from 1979.
"hey all you boys and all you girls" is cool funky disco.
Whilst "(better watch out ) the booman" is to "mr giant man"/"voodoo lady loves" what "chilli con carne" is to "happy brasilia" recorded years apart but is virtually its close cousin.
Complete with scary male and female vocals, check it out I kid you not.
Also the sleeve would be banned today due to dubious photo of kids on the back eating ice cream, front shot there on roller skates.
I picked up an Lp called "film themes for amateur movie makers volume 3" by Eric Pep and dave anthony on acorn records months ago which has 2 great tracks on "funky ride" sounding like lalo and quincy.
And the greatly named "charlie chaser" which is hypnotically good fun.
Has anyone got volume 1 or 2 and what are they like? and is there anymore? any info would be great.
