Now it's time to give these weird sounds the credit they deserved.
It's amazing; just LOOK WHAT I HAVE FOUND in thrift stores, second hand markets and sometimes even IN THE TRASH CAN.
Thanks to CD I was able to save these unusual tunes on 45 rpm 7" records. It's obvious that these 45s have been played a lot, so surface noice is almost obligatory. No hi-tek cd quality, but just back to the times where no one had ever heard of digital recording studios.
All the songs on these compilations are from the original 45 rpm records released prior to 1980 when CD took over the world of warm vinyl sounds. I've tried to exclude any song that's been compiled before, but as I don't own each and every compilation album ever made, there might be some songs that you already own on another compilation album. Look, listen and enjoy...
LABEL: In The Trash Can Records
CAT # : GARBAGE46
Subtitle: Teasin' - 16 teasin' tracks to try out
Soul, blue beat, instro grooviness, whatever sound that can tease you... More like this you can find on vol 6, vol 17, vol 29, vol 32, vol 34, vol 35 and vol 40
(Decca F11590 from 1963)
Third Booth had a song called �Sounds Incorporated�, but I don�t know if there should be a link between those two bands. This instrumental was written for the film �Just for fun�. Other bands on the score of this Gordon Flemyng movie included The Tremeloes, Freddie Cannon, The Crickets and Bobby Vee
2. horse's collar - the peddlers
(CBS 3333 from 1968)
Another instrumental here by The Peddlers, a highly underestimated trio from Manchester. This B-side of �Handel with care� is one of the twenty-some 45s and they also released at least eight albums. They mix club-jazz and r&b with beatnik influences.
3. the goat - freddy & the kinfolk
(Dade 45-2016 from 1968)
An instrumental about an animal, this time a goat and you can hear it at least 10 times during those two minutes of funky Hammond grooviness. And if you have the change, just listen to �Blabbermouth�, its flipside.
4. bullseye - len barry
(MCA MCA-60014 from 1965)
A song about darts?! Originally on Decca 31827. I can�t imagine that this wasn�t on a comp before, but so far nobody could show me one. Philadelphia born Leonard Borisoff was in The Dovells prior to his solo career.
5. one eye open - the maskman & the agents
(Dynamo D-125 from 1968)
The A-side was already on vol 40 but this b-side is my favourite track. Uptempo soul by most likely a black band that released 45s on Gama and Dynamo in 1968 and 1969 and also one album.
6. teasin' - king curtis
(Atlantic 10.524 from 1970)
Although recorded in 1970 my 45 was released in 1974 b/w �Memphis Soul stew�. For me this is the best instrumental track by Curtis Ousley. Who? Yep, that�s the sax man, born in 1934 in Texas and killed in 1971 in New York City
7. detroit - sounds incorporated
(Columbia DB7239 from 1964)
It�s the b-side of �The Spartans� and it�s a terrific instrumental, fast and furious, r&b at its best.
8. secret home - willie mitchell
(Hi 45-2075 from 1964)
It�s the B-side of �20-75�. Hi Recording Co was a Memphis, Tennessee based label multi -instrumentalist (mostly keyboard and trumpet) Willie Mitchell recorded several 45s for. And that was easy as he was the president! And as you might have guessed: this is also an instrumental and an excellent one if you like dancing.
9. aunt dora's love soul shack - arthur conley
(Atco ATCO76 from 1968) (in US: Atco 6622)
�Sweet soul music� will always be his trademark, but Atlanta born soul singer Conley recorded plenty of splendid soul tunes. He was discovered by Otis Redding when he toured as Arthur & The Corvets.
10. come on and love me - tom & jerrio
(ABC-Paramount 45-10704 from 1965)
The A-side �Great goo-ga-moo-ga� has been compiled several times before including one using that same title. Here are the boogaloo brothers at their softer side. A nice falsetto soul ballad.
11. can't get through to you - the honeycombs
(Pye 7N15890 from 1965)
The A-side is the not so spectacular hit single �That�s the way�, but when I flipped the record, my mind was blown to bits. It�s one of the fastest songs from the mid-60s! Hoever, The Honeycombs from London will only be remembered for their �Have I the right� chart topper.
12. kiss me baby - the picknicks
(Ring RR805 from 196.)
(a=side = I am alone) This is Belgian beat. Forget the A-side and enjoy the powerful beat of �Kiss me baby�! Watch out because they�re previous release was �I�m alone�, a sleepy ballad (that sold more than 100 000 copies here in Belgium) b/w �I�m running�, and a later release was �I�m so alone� b/w �I�m in love�. And what�s more special about this Antwerp band? The band was nothing but the 4 Van Laere brothers together starting in 1960 with �Guitar boogie rock�.
13. nobody will ever help you - the klan
(Palette PB25647 from 1967)
(b-side= alone in the night) Maybe the best known Belgian freakbeat/popsike band from Brussels. This is their second 45 and as good as the first one �Already mine� which I put on vol 3. Later they split and one half resurrected as The Klan 2.
14. hold on i'm comin' - billly larkin
(World Pacific WP-77844 from 1966)
Super groovy Hammond instrumental version of that all time soul classic. It�s the B-side of �Dirty water� which I already put on vol 45.
15. blue beat - dinah lee
(Interphon IN-7708 from 196.)
A blue beat song called �Blue beat�; why not. I don�t have any information on this young lady, sorry. �Don�t talk about love� is the flip.
16. stop - sounds incorporated
(Decca F11590 from 1963)
It�s the B-side of the first track on this volume �Go�. Not so fast as that one, but equally groovy. Perfect to end this volume and to allow you to stop dancing and to have a well shaken not stirred cocktail in your beige & burgundy decorated living room.
