PAUL REVERE & THE RAIDERS – Revolution! – (Columbia) – 1967
There is nothing quite like a Paul Revere and the Raiders album. To a relatively recent convert to their music, like myself, each album is a revelation. They have always worked a kind of musical juggling act between trying to … Continue reading
ALAN PRICE – Between Today and Yesterday – (Warner Brothers) – 1974
A mate gave me this some years ago. Thanks Mitchell! I relegated it and then thought twice and stuck it in a “maybe” pile for years. So, I’m approaching it afresh. The only other Price LP I had before this … Continue reading
THE BEACH BOYS – Surf’s Up – (Brother/Reprise) – 1971
OK – like the last beach Boys album I commented on I already have this album on CD. I sneak it in because I have just acquired the vinyl. And what a piece of vinyl it is. This is up … Continue reading
ROWAN BROTHERS – Rowan Brothers – (Columbia) – 1972
I had no knowledge of who the Rowan Brothers were before I bought this. The sleeve looked vaguely “country” so I assumed they were hopefuls hitching their horse to the country rock wagon. Pardner, forgive me for that twee imagery. … Continue reading

This is the second studio album by Sonny & Cher. My favourite subversive easy-listening hipster singing duo. I have commented on both “Sonny & Cher” and “Cher” albums before on this blog. Please refer to them for biographical detail. … Continue reading
TOMMY JAMES – My Head, My Bed & My Red Guitar – (Roulette) – 1971
Tommy James created some of the best pop of the mid to late 60s with his band Tommy James and the Shondells Allmusic: Tommy James & the Shondells — the very mention of their name, even to someone who doesn’t … Continue reading
BOBBY GOLDSBORO – Summer [The First Time] – (United Artists) – 1973
If you walk into a op shop you are bound to find a Bobby Goldsboro album. Check my other comments on Goldsboro for biographical detail and the usual observation that if you “Walk into a op shop and you are … Continue reading
JOHNNY RIVERS – And I Know You Wanna Dance – (Imperial) – 1966
I have commented on Rivers in the past on his 1966 album “Changes”. I noted there that I was a late convert to him. This album here immediately preceded “Changes” and is the last album in the sound that made … Continue reading
