"I'm, like, the Zombies biggest fan!" Gushed pert n' pouting Susanna Hoffs, yesterday! "Just thinking of Colin Blunstone's oh-so-husky voice causes my lady garden to moisten!"
She was delighted to act as clickbait for an underperforming post featuring a significant upgrade to what the cognoscenti are already calling yet another fucking fan playlist. "I think what you've done is simply magnificent, Farq! It must come as a crushing disappointment that nobody gives a bag of possum farts! Why - you're crying! Let Susikins comfort her big boy!" [tape runs out - Ed.]
This [left - Ed] is a rethink of an album featured here a couple of times. A reshuffle, cuts, and surgical razorblade edits. Voilà. This is as sweet as I can make it. If the mood or the production didn't quite fit, it didn't make the cut. The album runs a little short, eleven songs, but better that than too long, a common failing of this type of exercise. This is consistent quality all the way through, with no compromises in the name of completeness or "authenticity". You, apparently, don't give a bag of possum farts.

You can play this right after Odessey & Oracle and you will not be disappointed! [Ri-i-ght, like that's gonna happen - Ed.]
A note about the title: I mis-spelled Iliad to mirror the mis-spelling of Odyssey. That's the kind of granular detail I put into these exclusive audio initiatives. Pearls before swine!

ReplyDeleteI'll post again as soon as I can think of something I want to write about!
Your silences can be as eloquent as your screeds; thank you.

It's hard to understand why O&O didn't sell, but the effect was for the band and the label to lose confidence, and this gawjuss collection of impeccably-produced (state of the art, for the time) earworms never came together, with Colin Blunstone recording as a go-nowhere solo act as "Neil McArthur". The music industry is as baffling as the public's taste!
DeleteThis is by a massive amount my least-read post ever, so far. If you already have the deliverable, replace it with this. It's only a few clicks away, and it'll get you humming through the day.
As for here, everything's copacetic, and Bambi sent me a sweet rip of an old favourite I'll put up nextly. But in terms of the future, once again I'm getting the feeling that I've done everything I wanted to do and starting to rely on repeats and reposts.
ANON RF: I rode my motorcycle up to St Alban's from time to time from North London, a quick zip up the M1. It's a gorgeous town, and as some of the Zom-boyz schooled/grew up there, I could imagine them hitting the pub down by the river or wandering around the Roman amphitheatre, soaking up the pastoral air. Love this share, many thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, RF! (St Albans featured in an Al Stewart song - "St Albans is miles away")
DeleteANON RF: Just checked, it's a big lake (Veralum Lake), not a river.
ReplyDeleteIlliad....arf!
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you beaucoup!
DeleteAs FT3 mentioned above, Colin Blunstone briefly became Neil MacArthur, here’s 8 tracks, singles mainly from 1969 - contains a great different version of She’s Not There.

All I can offer in exchange for the nifty version of "She Is NOT There" is my last bag o' stoat toots. May they open without damage.
ReplyDeleteStoat Toots always welcome, Snorky.
DeleteSnorky, I think the Neil MacArthur tracks make a nice collection of tunes while waiting for Colin Blunstone to release the fabulous One Year album in 1971. He briefly worked as a clerk in the insurance business after the split of the Zombies.
DeleteOne Year and Ennismore:

I've only just got beneath Susanna Hoffs, exercising her orgasm inducing vaginal musculature yet clearly concerned about lice in her barnet. Anyway, Zombies abound in ever increasing numbers, soon to become the majority. May avoid the forthcoming due to advancing age (85), but pity to miss the whole shit house coming down as beyond here lies nothing. Good to know the ugly pills are taking effect.
ReplyDeleteDo you return shopping carts?
DeleteOooooh! Ennismore as well, thanks FT3, I have been enjoying the new O&I and also O&O today, looks like Ennismore this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteHis voice is like a drug.
DeleteYep, he sings on this Alan Parson Project track - very Beach Boys like backing vocal too.
