Today's Random Babe, LaTischia DuVet-Tögrating [19 my ass - Ed.] has a passion for vocals of the female persuasion. "They just turn me on!" she breathed during her surfside photo-shoot yesterday, reading from a script prepared by a random skeevy internet fantasist. "Do you want to see who's in my box?"
In the unlikely event th' Four Or Five Guys© are interested in this-type situation, a discreet link, guaranteeing satisfaction, is provided in the comments.
EDIT: The super-swell album R.I.H.T.B. had in her box is linked in the comments, and so, now, are the first two albums by this verrrrrry inneresting band, featuring the swell vox of Candy Givens, who died (it says here) while drunk in a hot tub. Now I don't know the context for this, but on the face of it I can think of worse ways to go. I like these albums way more than I expected.
Collect the set! Except there's a super-rare fourth I can't find.
Here's ya link. For shame you should be looking at this-type material, your age.
ReplyDelete... and as usual, if you cheat, keep it to yourself! (Link in above comment - not this one).
ReplyDeleteDownloaded, imported into Audacity, and reversed the track so I could listen to the backmasked guitar the way it was recorded. Vocals are all backwards that way, so I have no idea who it is.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried reversing the backmasked vox? Maybe it's easier to guess if you listen to it that way.
DeleteReversing the reversal and listening the way the artist intended? Hmmmm.....
ReplyDeletedon't know the song but is it Annette Peacock or Kathy McDonald?
ReplyDeleteDorothy Moskowitz?
ReplyDeleteMamie Eisenhower?
ReplyDeleteHeather Butkiss?
ReplyDeleteIs it random internet bikini babe herself?

ReplyDeleteYou're struggling with this one! Here's the next track on the album, see if this helps -

ReplyDeletebut THIS is not so good.
Ahhh - wait until you hear the whole album.
DeleteIs it Betty Jo Bialofski?
ReplyDeleteNancy?
Deletelol.............
DeleteLynn Hughes?
ReplyDeleteThis really DOES show just HOW much music from the finer sex the 4-or-5 actually listen to. Oh, and, don't look at me. I'm in the same boat, adrift in the obliviousness. Somewhere between the Psychedelic Soul atolls just off FMF Isle, near the Bermuda Triangle of death (by too much Country Rock?) and taxing Quiz Questions.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to make it easy for everybody, but mainly me. Go here for the album:

It's the best unknown (to me, and probably you) album I've heard for a while. The two tracks I uploaded won't prepare you for the variety of excellence. It's a real MUSIC album, real musicians, good songs, and that sense of surprise as they shift stylistic gears. They remind me of IABD in a good way, a definite sunshine hippy vibe, and from '73 (that airbrush cover).
The band (in different configurations, with Tommy Bolin) made a couple of albums antecedently, which I don't think I'll enjoy as much from what I read. But this is a beauty.
... and here's the first two.

damn I thought of Ms Givins couple times but Candy's more Janis sounding songs, edged me away, go with your first instinks I reckon
ReplyDelete4th lp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJIb28SHyDM
ReplyDeletea live lp recorded in 1973 came out years later https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1jGvUuvld0

ReplyDeleteIt's always a great pleasure for me to discover something old/new that blows my socks off and then puts them back on the wrong feet. I'd read somewhere that the first two albums are "heavy blues" - nothing could be more wrong. They're hard rock with a jazz edge. Fantastic rhythm section and Candy's fan-tahhhh-stic voice. Very much in the San Fran style. Plays super-sweet next to prime Airplane. This is the band Janis needed. Made my weekend!
Deleteyea can't never trust ''labels''folk put on music,as an aside I recall Tommy Bolin telling a story at an after party in Cleveland I crashed while he was in the James Gang that Candy wrote to the Playboy forum back in the late 60's asking how to be a woman bluesy singer and not be seen as just another Janice, they told her just ignore that stuff and keep on singing
DeleteBetter !
ReplyDeleteThanks !
The first two albums "better"? Nope - different.
DeleteWow. And I have that. Sunset Ride. In rather poor condition, I mite add. The "retro cool" cover made me pick it up. Flying boat/'20s/'30s look, airbrush art, as I recall. Very Pan American Clipper-y. Has to be the same album I'm thinig of... WBros., maybe.
ReplyDeleteNow, to peek at the link, see if I'm write...
Got it for dirt cheep. Then found out it's sorta "rare". Or was, when I got it, a coupla-few decades ago. I've never listened though... Now's my chance.
This is weird. No, not that there's NO rugrats in costumes runnin around about now...
As it is Saturday Sale-in' day...
I wonder...
MIGH be a good question to pose for the next Farq Kwiz...
What is an LP you picked up for dirt cheep? And what's the Full Story?
Optional: Time, place, price(s), pressing deets, ephemera enclosed, girlfriend put the inner sleeve in wrong, etc. And you can say "Good," "Great" or whatever before the "LP" part if you wish. You have my persimmon. That's my idea, go with it, steal it, ignore it, toss it in the Cylindrical File, whatever.
I'll save my answer til it's time to run it up the Isle's flagpole.
O.K., a "preview": It was a "two-fer." Grabbed (dirt cheep, of course) at a yard sale. A Dylly and a Lennon. (..."leftie" 'hood finding...)
man I don't know which one but a ton of my favorite lps are cut outs scored in 1973 from a great rack in North Ridgeville's Revco drugstore for between 50 cents and a buck per
DeleteI started buying second-hand albums in the early seventies - back then, there wasn't a collector's market, and you'd find boxes of them in every thrift store. I picked up everything that looked interesting, because they were so cheap. There was a real sense of discovery - pre-internet, you'd grab something without knowing anything about it at all, or even consider the resale value - because there wasn't any. The other source of cheap albums was the high street record store, which once or twice a year would get in a shipment of cutouts for the sales. I don't know exactly when collecting became a thing, but it took all the fun out of it!
DeleteI've never been a "collector," in the sense that I care about what an LP is worth. If I want an investment, I'll buy a good mutual fund...but I'm not above picking up something entirely to trade it in at Amoeba Records in Berkeley. Best buy was going through a stack of Chinese LPs in a vintage living-room-furniture console someone was yardsaling (just made up that word...)...the entire stack was albums with Chinese characters...and tucked right in the middle of it was James Brown Live At The Apollo...and it still had the shrink wrap on it. How it had wandered into that particular stack....the only thing I can think of is maybe the baby sitter left it behind in 1964.
DeleteMIGHT not "MIGH"...
ReplyDelete(SIGH)
Thass a good 'un, Cap. For the Bulging Bookmarks file...
They even have that QMS 1st "Foil" dealio I'd mentioned here some daze ago.
And without all the wear I've got on my copy...!

Little known fact: if it weren't for intrepid island-hopping geologist Dr. LaTischia DuVet-Tögrating, we still wouldn't know where all that water falling in Niagara comes from. Unfortunately, due to the lack of sunny beaches in Niagara, we still don't know where it all goes though it is suspected it comes out the other side in China (we may never know for sure due to cultural restrictions on attire or lack thereof).
ReplyDeleteYo, Farq, you've gotten around to pickin' up that elusive fourth album from Youtube yet? 'Cause if you didn't, I can make your life a little easier.
ReplyDeleteSeparated and correctly tagged, which was a bit of a son of a bitch because the running order wasn't at all what it was supposed to be (according to Discogs) and there were also two bonus/extra tracks in the middle to be identified. I left the running order the album had on You Tube.

It doesn't sound much like the first three albums except for moments here or there and Miss Givens' voice, but if you like a crisp early Eighties r'n'b/new wave sound, it's quite good!
Awesome work, Dude! Thank you!
DeleteAs for the first three albums, I quite like the first one and definitely the third one which is definitely the most varied. I don't have much use for the second one which is ultra heavy on long blues-rock workout with shrieky faux-Janis Jolin-style vocals. It's interesting though, how "Sunset Ride" opens with a number in that style, though thankfully with much more restrained vocals my Mrs. Givens, before it wanders into jazz, singer/songwriter and even some slightly country-ish stuff.
