The Beatles - REVOLUTION

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:41:34 +0200

From 1968, the Beatles' classic song (and one of my personal Beatles favorites) "Revolution" as performed on the BBC's DAVID FROST SHOW. (David Frost, of course, being a veteran British journalist and TV presenter) Probably Lennon's first overtly political song ever.

Marc Bolan & Friends - Children Of The Revolut

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 01:54:32 +0100

Marc Bolan was joined by Elton John and Ringo Starr in 1971.

The song is about teenage rebellion, and upon its release, some critics blasted the song, as it marked a change in the band\'s overall tempo. Some even believed the song was pro-communist propaganda, based on the title alone.

It was included in the film Born to Boogie, in the famous Apple Studios jam with Elton John. During the jam, Marc Bolan puts his head through a grand piano while Elton is playing. It was also included in the films Billy Elliot, in the scene after Billy\'s father confronts him about learning ballet, and Breakfast on Pluto, during a dance scene.

Marc Bolan and T.Rex - Jeepster 1971

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 01:46:52 +0100

"Jeepster" was a 1971 single by the British glam rock band T. Rex, from the group\'s second album, Electric Warrior.

The song peaked at #2 in the UK charts, and was controversial in that Fly Records released the song without singer Marc Bolan\'s prior permission, since Bolan had just left Fly for EMI, which had given him control of his own label, T. Rex Wax Co. Records.

The music and rhythm are quite close to that of the Howlin\' Wolf song "You\'ll Be Mine", written by Willie Dixon. In interviews, Marc Bolan has acknowledged that he "lifted it from a Howlin\' Wolf song".

The Sweet - Love is Like Oxygen * (fan tribute)

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 21:25:08 +0100

Sweet split from RCA in late 1977. The first album for new label Polydor, Level Headed, found Sweet experimenting by combining rock and classical sounds "a-la clavesin", an approach similar to UK band ELO - indeed "Love Is Like Oxygen" is often wrongly credited to ELO.

The resulting Level Headed album represented a new musical direction with its Led Zeppelin influenced rock style, interspersed with ballads accompanied by a 30-piece orchestra. With the addition of session and touring musicians keyboardist Gary Moberley and guitarist Nico Ramsden, Sweet undertook a successful British tour in February 1978.

However, "Love Is Like Oxygen" (January 1978) was their last UK, U.S. and German Top 10 hit. Scott was also nominated for an Ivor Novello Award for co-composing "Love Is Like Oxygen". One more single from the album, "California Nights" (May, 1978) only peaked at #23 on the German charts.

Death of Marc Bolan - 1977

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 11:15:07 +0100

Bolan died on 16 September 1977, two weeks before his 30th birthday. He was a passenger in a purple Mini 1275GT (registration FOX 661L) driven by Gloria Jones as they headed home from Mortons drinking club and restaurant in Berkeley Square.

The speeding car lost control and struck a Sycamore tree after failing to negotiate a small humpback bridge near Gipsy Lane on Queens Ride, Barnes, southwest London. Bolan died instantly, while Jones suffered a broken arm and spent a short time in hospital. Neither were wearing seat belts. Bolan\'s home, which was less than a mile away at 142 Upper Richmond Road West in East Sheen, was immediately looted.

At Bolan\'s funeral, attended by the likes of David Bowie and Rod Stewart, a swan-shaped floral tribute was displayed outside the service in recognition of his breakthrough hit single. His ashes lie at Golders Green Crematorium.

Bolan never drove a car or learned to drive, fearing a premature death exactly as happened. Despite this, cars or automotive components are at least mentioned in, if not the subject of, many of his songs. He also owned a number of vehicles, including a famed white Rolls Royce, which had been loaned by his management to Hawkwind on the night he died.

From the very day of the accident the site became a place of pilgrimage to Bolan fans and this was reported in newspapers from 1979 onwards. Since 1999 it has been cared for on a charity basis by TAG (T-Rex Action Group).

Marc Bolan (born Mark Feld; 30 September 1947 â 16 September 1977), was an English singer, songwriter and guitarist whose hit singles, fashion sensibilities and stage presence with T.Rex in the early 1970s helped cultivate the glam rock era and made him one of the most recognisable stars in British music of the time.

The Arrows - I Love Rock N Roll (original) 1975

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 10:36:57 +0100

The Arrows were a three piece Anglo-American band, based in London, England. The group was formed in 1974, and disbanded in 1978. They are best known for writing and recording the first released version of the well known international rock anthem, "I Love Rock \'n\' Roll," in 1975.

Slade - Everyday (1974) TOTP

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 10:27:59 +0100

Slade is an English glam rock and hard rock band. Slade were one of the most recognisable acts of the glam rock movement and were, at their peak, the most commercially popular band in the UK. They are well known for the deliberate misspelling of their song titles and for the song "Merry Xmas Everybody" (released December 1973), now one of the most iconic Christmas pop songs in the United Kingdom.

One of the most acclaimed British Rock bands of the 1970s, Slade are especially remembered for their brash songwriting and energetic live performances. Today, the band is often regarded as an obvious pre-cursor to late 1970s British Punk (Sex Pistols, The Clash).

The group dominated the British charts during the early 1970s. During the height of their success, Slade out-performed their chart rivals Wizzard, Sweet, T.Rex, Suzi Quatro, Mud, Smokie, Gary Glitter, Roxy Music and David Bowie.

Splinter - Costafine Town (1974)

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 10:23:42 +0100

Splinter was a two-man vocal group from South Shields, near Newcastle upon Tyne in the north east of England, consisting of Bill Elliott (William Elliott) and Bobby Purvis (Robert J Purvis).

They were connected with powerful people (George Harrison, of The Beatles) and had good groups of instrumentalists to back them on each album. One of those musicians was a guitarist by the name of "Hari Georgeson" (Harrison\'s pseudonym).

Splinter was the first artist signed to Harrison\'s Dark Horse Record label, when it was still partnered with A&M Records. All of Splinter\'s albums are out of print.

Ducks Deluxe - Coast To Coast (1974)

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 10:20:11 +0100

Ducks Deluxe were an English pub rock band from the 1970s. Martin Belmont, Nick Garvey, Sean Tyla and Tim Roper formed the band in 1972.

Ducks Deluxe remained a cult band throughout their career, with their first and best LP, Ducks Deluxe, achieving moderate commercial success only after the band broke up in 1975 (see 1975 in music) because the members had gone on to greater fame in Graham Parker & the Rumour, Tyla Gang and the Motors.
