LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide) is considered an entheogen because it can catalyze intense spiritual experiences, during which users may feel they have come into contact with a greater spiritual or cosmic order. Users sometimes report out of body experiences. In 1966, Timothy Leary established the League for Spiritual Discovery with LSD as its sacrament. Stanislav Grof has written that religious and mystical experiences observed during LSD sessions appear to be phenomenologically indistinguishable from similar descriptions in the sacred scriptures of the great religions of the world and the texts of ancient civilizations.

VA - Desert Blues 1+2+3 [1995, 2002, 2008] (6 x CD's)

DESERT BLUES

VA - Desert Blues 1+2+3 [1995, 2002, 2008] (6 x CD's)

Brilliant series of three disks. The birth of the blues can be heard here.

It is 24 years since the label Network began recording artists from the Sahara, Sahel and neighboring countries. The journey to the serene side of African music has since been awarded international prizes, has been in the charts for months and is regarded as the "best-selling compilation of African music of all time" (fRoots). Many stars from the countries around the Sahara have allowed themselves to be inspired by the Desert Blues.

VA - Desert Blues 1 [1995] Ambiances du Sahara
This is a great 2 CD set to give you a taste of known and the unknown, the good and the merely interesting. Quite a variety and the two CDs are quite different in mood, so you can choose bouncy or laid back. There are a couple of artists represented twice. African singers who are still unknown and deserve some airtime. We've picked up a couple of new unknowns from this album and are now trying to track them down for more of their enchanting sounds. Makes a good present for friends who are intrigued by the idea of "African music" but don't know where to start.  I was in Egypt and thought I had discovered a CD which wasn't available normally. So I was surprised to see it's listed here. I've listened to this album a thousand times and can sing N'Dour's "Sama Guent Gun" almost by heart (though I don't understand what it means). You're depriving yourself of a true musical wonder if you pass up this one. (Amazon)

VA - Desert Blues 2 [2002] Reves D'oasis
I have thousands of albums, but I am not sure I have anything better than this. It's astoundingly good. It's also very hard to pick out the best tracks - there's no slack whatsoever. At a push I might just take 'Hakmet Lakdar' by Hasna El Belcharia to my desert island if I could only take one with me. The first listen easily exceeded my expectations, and anybody interested in African blues from around the edge of the Sahara region is guaranteed, in my view, not to be disappointed. The best-known artist is Djelimady Tounkara, but the vast majority were unknown to me and as soon as you listen to them make you want to find the original albums. There is a large variety to the blues on offer and I can but totally recommended it. Found the influences seemed to draw upon so many rock/pop/jazz/blues stuff I thought I had heard elsewhere, but soon I then realised this is the origin of all that music anyway. Most contemporary music since the fifties has it's seed of origin in Africa, and much of it seems to be from Saharan Africa. (Amazon)

VA - Desert Blues 3 [2008] Entre dunes et savanes
For Desert Blues 3, the editorial team has evaluated all the new releases of recent years and is now presenting the creme of musicians from 10 countries and their highly emotional ballads: including, super-stars Khaled and Souad Massi from Algeria; Malouma "The Lady of the Blues" from Mauritania; the poignant voice of Dhafer Youssef from Tunisia; Gigi, the current queen of Ethiopian soul music; expressive music from Mali by Amadou and Marian, Ali Farka Toure, Oumo Sangare, Rokia Traore with the Kronos Quartet; "Fula Flute" from Guinea; Tuareg music from West Africa by the successful group Tinariwen. And all of this is complemented by several completely new discoveries and first releases. A musical dream journey to the voices and vibes of the oases, the savannas, the caravans, the endless seas of sand and Tuareg campfires. Long-format double CD. More than 2 hours playing time. This compilation is full of beautiful voice, melodies envoutantes or magic full of smells of Africa. (Amazon)

VA - The Official UK Top 50 Singles Chart: 01 July 1973 - 07 July 1973 (50th Anniversary 2023 Remastered Edition) [1973] (3 x CD)

K SPECIAL PART 7 of 12

VA - The Official UK Top 50 Singles Chart: 01 July 1973 - 07 July 1973 (50th Anniversary 2023 Remastered Edition) [1973] (3 x CD)

1973 was a stellar year for music, particularly in the UK where so many great singles were released, and a perfect opportunity to celebrate 50 years since so many legendary songs graced the charts.

Acts like David Bowie, Gary Glitter, the Sweet, Slade, the Carpenters and Wizzard would have the best chart years of their careers. Teenybop stuff was alive and well with David Cassidy and The Osmonds peaking.

Plus, lots of new acts like Mud, David Essex, Suzi Quatro, Medicine Head and, erm, Barry Blue came through.

Tony Orlando and Dawn had the best-selling single of 1973 with "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree", which spent four weeks at the top spot and lasted 11 weeks in the top 10.

Slade became the first act to have three singles enter the UK charts at number-one; "Cum On Feel the Noize", "Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me", and "Merry Xmas Everybody" (which also became the year's Christmas number-one single).

The glam-rock group had two further singles in the UK top 10 this year. They also reached number two in October with their single "My Friend Stan". They had five entries in total this year but this included "Gudbuy T'Jane" from the latter part of 1972.

Another glam-rock band who made it big in 1973 was Wizzard, fronted by Roy Wood. Wood had previously achieved chart success a member of both The Move and Electric Light Orchestra.

Wizzard scored four top 10 singles during the year, which included the number-one hits "See My Baby Jive" and "Angel Fingers", as well as their Christmas classic "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday", which peaked at number four for four consecutive weeks.

10cc achieved the first of their three UK number-one singles in June of this year with "Rubber Bullets", which spent one week at the top spot. They also reached number ten in September with "The Dean and I".

One-hundred and twenty-eight singles were in the top ten in 1973. Eight singles from 1972 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year, while "The Show Must Go On" by Leo Sayer and "You Won't Find Another Fool Like Me" by

The New Seekers featuring Lyn Paul were both released in 1973 but did not reach their peak until 1974. "Nights in White Satin" by The Moody Blues, "Shotgun Wedding" by Roy C and "Solid Gold Easy Action" by T. Rex were the singles from 1972 to reach their peak in 1973. Twenty-nine artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 1973. David Essex, Leo Sayer, Marie Osmond, Mud and Wizzard were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top 10 single in 1973.

The 1972 Christmas number-one, "Long Haired Lover from Liverpool" by Little Jimmy Osmond, remained at number-one for the first three weeks of 1973. The first new number-one single of the year was "Block Buster!" by The Sweet.

Overall, seventeen different singles peaked at number-one in 1973, with Slade (3) having the most singles hit that position.

Twenty-nine artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 1973. Donny Osmond secured the record for most top 10 hits in 1973 with six hit singles. He scored three top 10 entries in 1973 as a solo artist, with "The Twelfth of Never" and "Young Love" both reaching number-one, and "When I Fall in Love" peaking at number four in November. His sister Marie made her top 10 debut in November with the number two hit "Paper Roses". Donny's total was boosted to six by his participation on The Osmonds recordings. The family group scored two top 10 entries in 1973 with "Going Home", which peaked at number four in July and "Let Me In", which peaked at number two in November. Their number two hit from November 1972, "Crazy Horses", remained in the top 10 for the first three weeks of 1973.

David Bowie peaked in the top 10 with five singles in 1973. He reached number two in January with "The Jean Genie", while "Drive In Saturday", "Life on Mars" and "Sorrow" all peaked at number three.

His single "The Laughing Gnome", originally released in 1967, also entered the top 10, reaching number six in October. Little Jimmy Osmond had two individual entries, including "Long Haired Lover from Liverpool" from 1972 and his

number four single "Tweedle Dee" in April, as well as being a part of The Osmonds collective.

David Cassidy and Gary Glitter scored four top 10 entries in 1973. The Partridge Family singer David Cassidy had two hit singles as part of the group - "Looking Through the Eyes of Love" at number nine and "Walking in the Rain" peaking at number ten -

as well as the number one hit "Daydreamer"/"The Puppy Song", and "I am a Clown"/"Some Kind of a Summer" which reached number three. Gary Glitter's first two entries, "Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)" and "Hello, Hello, I'm Back Again", both peaked at number two, while

the remaining two, "I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am)" and "I Love You Love Me Love", both spent four weeks at number-one.

Solo artists Suzi Quatro, Barry Blue and David Essex all made their top 10 debut in 1973, and all three scored a second entry later in the year. Suzi Quatro made her top 10 debut in May with "Can the Can", which spent a week at number-one in June, while "48 Crash" peaked at number three in August. Barry Blue made his top 10 debut in August with "Dancing on a Saturday Night", which peaked at number two, while "Do You Wanna Dance" reached number seven in November.

David Essex made his top 10 debut in September with "Rock On", which peaked at number three, while "Lamplight" reached number seven in December.

The Sweet had three top-ten entries, among these chart-topper "Block Buster!". The other artists with three top 10 singles were 10cc, Elton John, Paul McCartney, T. Rex and Wings.

Gilbert O'Sullivan was one of a number of artists with two top-ten entries, including the number-one single "Get Down". Alice Cooper, The Carpenters, The Partridge Family, Rod Stewart, Roxy Music and Status Quo were among the other artists who had multiple top 10 entries in 1973.

Here is the seventh part of my month by month series featuring classic top 50 UK singles charts from selected weeks in 1973. BBC Radio 1 also introduced a new logo in 1973 which is featured on the cover art above.

This 3CD set contains many rare and extremely hard to find tracks, with quite a few featured in their original 7" single versions and edits. Only the original studio mixes are included. No later remixes, 'stereo enhanced' or live versions here (unless the officially released track was indeed a live version) - Elvis!  Compiled as always using the very latest and highest quality digital remasters, with a considerable amount of tracks sourced from the original master tapes for superior sound quality and enjoyment. 

I hope you are enjoying this ongoing series and have had the opportunity to revisit a few old favourites and long forgotten hits.

  BIRTH OF SOUL

VA - Birth Of Soul Vol. 01 - Vol. 04 [1996-2007] (4 x CD's)

This fantastic 'Birth Of Soul' series from 'Kent/Ace' records combines the unheard and astounding with the familiar yet evocative. There are so many top songs on these CD's it's hard to pick out favorites.  An alluring assortment of late 50's and early 60's black music that heralded the 60's soul explosion of this very successful series, collates many tracks that fall between other musical niches. Change and innovation are often tricky subjects to take in one's stride, and nowhere was this more apparent than in the hyper-activity of musical creativity unleashed in the black American music circles of the early 60's. The move from R&B into the richer pastures of soul took time, effort and sometimes courage in the face of critics who saw it as 'selling out'. Outstanding. (Amazon)
