VA - Classic Rock Stories Vol. 1 (A Butterboy Compilation) (6 x CDs)

CLASSIC ROCK 

VA - Classic Rock Stories Vol. 1 (A Butterboy Compilation) (6 x CDs)

Classic Rock Stories is a compilation that captures the full narrative power of rock music, not just its sound, but its storytelling soul. 

In an age of algorithmic playlists and disposable hooks, this six-disc anthology stands as a defiant act of preservation, a candlelit archive of narrative songs that speak not just in melody, but in memory. These 114 tracks are not chosen for their chart positions or radio ubiquity, but for their ability to inhabit characters, evoke places, and trace emotional arcs with cinematic clarity. Each song is a short story, a confession, a myth, or a moment frozen in time, and together, they form a sprawling, genre-crossing tapestry of human experience.

CD1: Opens with “Waterloo Sunset,” a quiet observation of urban solitude that sets the tone for what follows: songs that see the world through the eyes of outsiders, dreamers, and doomed romantics. “Shooting Star” and “The Boxer” chronicle the rise and fall of fame and resilience, while “Hurricane” and “Billy Austin” confront injustice with unflinching detail. Springsteen’s “The River” stretches across eleven minutes of working-class ache, and Lightfoot’s “Edmund Fitzgerald” turns maritime tragedy into elegy. Even the more whimsical entries, “Walk on the Wild Side,” “Willin’,” “Buffalo Soldier”, carry the weight of lived experience. These are songs that don’t just tell stories; they bear witness.

CD2: Dives deeper into mythic Americana and personal folklore. “1952 Vincent Black Lightning” is a love story wrapped in chrome and mortality, while “Jungleland” and “American Pie” stretch across decades of cultural reckoning. Archie Roach’s “Charcoal Lane” brings Indigenous perspective into the fold, and “Ode to Billie Joe” remains one of pop’s most haunting mysteries. From the psychedelic fable of “Chestnut Mare” to the political urgency of “Ohio,” this disc balances intimacy with scale. It’s a map of the American psyche, fractured, poetic, and endlessly compelling.

CD3: Turns inward. “Piano Man,” “Cat’s in the Cradle,” and “Me and Bobby McGee” are portraits of longing and loss, while “Ziggy Stardust” and “Aqualung” introduce characters who blur the line between persona and pathology. “Telegraph Road” is a novel in song form, tracing industrial decay with Dire Straits’ signature precision. Even shorter tracks like “Magic Hollow” and “Starry Eyes” carry emotional weight, while “A Day in the Life” and “Sally Simpson” remind us that even legends like the Beatles and The Who were storytellers first. This disc is a gallery, each track a frame, each lyric a brushstroke.

CD4: Celebrates the misfits, prophets, and poets. “All the Young Dudes” and “Baker Street” are anthems of alienation, while “The Pretender” and “At Seventeen” explore the quiet despair of adulthood. “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” and “Mr. Apollo” inject theatrical flair, and “The Raven” and “Tales of Brave Ulysses” draw from literary tradition. Suzanne Vega’s “Luka” and Lennon’s “Mother” close the disc with raw vulnerability. These are songs that speak for those who rarely get to speak, the overlooked, the misunderstood, the brave.

CD5: Is a kaleidoscope of character sketches and cultural snapshots. “Eleanor Rigby” and “Up the Junction” are masterclasses in lyrical economy, while “Tweeter and the Monkey Man” and “Don’t Like Mondays” unfold like tabloid noir. “You Set the Scene” and “Vincent” offer poetic transcendence, and “The Day John Kennedy Died” reframes history through personal lens. Even the more playful entries, “My Friend Jack,” “You’re So Vain,” “The Ballad of John and Yoko”, carry narrative heft. It’s a disc of contradictions: fame and anonymity, satire and sincerity, myth and memory.

CD6: Is a culmination, a place for long-form storytelling and emotional resolution. “Stairway to Heaven” and “Murder Most Foul” bookend the disc with spiritual and political gravitas. “Madame George,” “Army Dreamers,” and “Alice’s Restaurant” are sprawling character studies, while “The Ballad of Danny Bailey” and “Sutter’s Mill” resurrect forgotten figures. “Astronomy” and “House on the Hill” lean into the surreal, and “All Those Years Ago” and “The Beverly Hillbillies” offer wry reflections on legacy. Even “The Window,” a lesser-known Genesis gem, earns its place, a quiet meditation that echoes the compilation’s core theme: seeing the world through another’s eyes.

This set is not a greatest hits collection. It’s an archive of narrative songs that prioritize emotional truth over commercial polish. It’s for those who listen with intent, who hear the story behind the chord, the character behind the chorus. Whether it’s a convict, a waitress, a soldier, or a ghost, each voice here is given space to speak. And in doing so, they remind us that music is not just sound, its storytelling, its memory, its humanity. (B)

L.A. POP

VA - L.A. Gemstones, The Pop Box [2010] (5 x CDs)

My friend Jose over at his excellent blog Tommentón En La Cuadra recently posted L.A. Gemstones: The Rock Box (1964–1969), a fantastic 5-CD set packed with vintage West Coast garage, psych, and fuzz. You can find it here: http://tommentonenlacuadra.blogspot.com/2025/09/va-la-gemstones-rock-box-1964-1969-5-cd.html

This set originally appeared around 2010-2011 on the now-defunct blog crystalsphere1, and it was actually part of a larger two-part project: The Rock Box and The Pop Box, each five CD sets. I’ve had both archived for years, and seeing Jose revive The Rock Box inspired me to dust off the companion set and share it here.

Since Jose has already posted The Rock Box, I won’t duplicate it, but I highly recommend visiting his site, which is full of lovingly curated compilations and deep cuts. http://tommentonenlacuadra.blogspot.com/

So, here’s my contribution: VA- L.A. Gemstones: The Pop Box [2010], featuring 144 groovy pop tracks that capture the melodic, harmony-rich side of the L.A. scene.  This sprawling set is a kaleidoscopic journey through L.A.’s pop underground and sunshine sound, spanning the golden years of 1964 to the early ’70s. It’s packed with mono 45s, needledrops, and deep cuts that balance chart charm with cult mystique. You’ll hear surf-pop from The Survivors and The Rip Chords, garage sparkle from The Hondells and Fantastic Baggys, and harmony-rich gems from The Association, Harper’s Bizarre, and The Yellow Balloon.

There’s a strong presence of West Coast auteurs, Van Dyke Parks, Curt Boettcher, and Roger Nichols, whose baroque arrangements and lyrical eccentricity give the set its emotional depth. Psychedelic pop is threaded throughout, from Sagittarius and Strawberry Alarm Clock to obscure acts like Chocolate Tunnel and Storybook.

Major artists like Elvis, Roy Orbison, The Beach Boys, and The Byrds appear in lesser-known forms, while cult figures like Tim Buckley, Gene Clark, and Fred Neil add introspective weight. It’s a lovingly sequenced listen for big ears, curious, melodic, and full of surprises.

Enjoy the ride, and thanks again to Jose for sparking the revisit. (B)

K SPECIAL - VA - Super Soul 64 - The Greatest Soul Songs of 1964 (60th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition) (6CD) (2024)

K SPECIAL


PLEASE THANK K for this wonderful compilation

VA - Super Soul 64 - The Greatest Soul Songs of 1964 (60th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition) (6CD) (2024)

Due to the overwhelming response, praise and feedback of my previous Super Soul 65 compilation with over 1,500 downloads...

http://butterboycompilations.blogspot.com/2025/07/k-specal-va-super-soul-65-greatest-soul.html

I decided to revisit the previous year 1964 and take a look at all the amazing soul music recorded and released during that incredible 12-month period.

1964 was a significant year for soul music, with several artists and songs leaving a lasting impact on the genre. Some prominent artists and songs from that year include Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, The Supremes, Martha and the Vandellas, and James Brown. The year saw the rise of several important soul tracks, including "Good Times" by Sam Cooke, "Baby Love" by The Supremes, and "Dancing in the Street" by Martha and the Vandellas.

Key artists and tracks from 1964:

Sam Cooke:

A hugely influential soul artist, his 1964 release "Good Times" is considered a soul classic.

Otis Redding:

Known for his powerful vocals and emotive style, Redding's "Security" and "Chained and Bound" were released in 1964.

The Supremes:

With "Baby Love" being a major hit, The Supremes contributed significantly to the Motown sound in 1964.

Martha and the Vandellas:

Their energetic hit "Dancing in the Street" became a quintessential soul anthem.


Other Notable Soul Tracks from 1964:

"The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)" by Betty Everett.

"Need to Belong" by Jerry Butler.

"Mercy, Mercy" by Don Covay and the Goodtimers.

"Keep on Pushing" by The Impressions.

"Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um" by Major Lance.

"Under the Boardwalk" by The Drifters.

"My Guy" by Mary Wells.

"Wish Someone Would Care" by Irma Thomas.

"Steal Away" by Jimmy Hughes.

"Hi-Heel Sneakers" by Tommy Tucker.

"The Way You Do the Things You Do" by The Temptations.

"Oh No, Not My Baby" by Maxine Brown.

"Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" by Solomon Burke.

"Walk on By" by Dionne Warwick.

"Baby Love" is a song by the American music group the Supremes from their second studio album, Where Did Our Love Go. It was written and produced by Motown's main production team Holland-Dozier-Holland and was released on September 17, 1964.

"Baby Love" topped the Billboard pop singles chart in the United States from October 25, 1964, through November 21, 1964, and in the United Kingdom pop singles chart concurrently. Beginning with "Baby Love", the Supremes became the first Motown act to have more than one American number-one single, and by the end of the decade, would have more singles hitting the top slot than any other Motown act (or American pop music group) with 12, a record they continue to hold.

The Supremes were an American girl group formed in Detroit, Michigan, in 1959 as the Primettes. A premier act of Motown Records during the 1960s, the Supremes were the most commercially successful of Motown's acts and the most successful American vocal band, with 12 number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. Most of these hits were written and produced by Motown's main songwriting and production team, Holland-Dozier-Holland. Their breakthrough is considered to have made it possible for future African-American R&B and soul musicians to find mainstream success. Billboard ranked the Supremes as the 16th greatest Hot 100 artist of all time.

Otis Ray Redding Jr. (September 9, 1941- December 10, 1967) was an American singer and songwriter. He is regarded as one of the greatest singers in the history of American popular music and a seminal artist in soul music and rhythm and blues. Nicknamed the "King of Soul", Redding's style of singing drew inspiration from the gospel music that preceded the genre. His vocal style influenced many other soul artists of the 1960s.

In March of 1964, Otis Redding released his debut album "Pain In My Heart". Side 2, track 10, is the single "Security". The single peaked at #97 on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart and #23 on the R&B Chart. It would be the final of 4 singles from the album. It was written by Otis Redding.

Maxine Ella Brown (born August 18, 1939) is an American soul and R&B singer.

Maxine Brown began singing as a child, performing with two New York City based gospel groups called the Angelairs and the Royaltones when she was a teenager.

Brown was poised to become a star and signed to the New York-based uptown soul label, Wand Records, a Scepter Records subsidiary, in 1963.

Brown recorded a string of sizable hits for Wand over the next three years. Among these was the Carole King/Gerry Goffin song "Oh No, Not My Baby", which reached number 24 on the pop chart in 1964.

"Oh No, Not My Baby" is a song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. The song's lyrics describe how friends and family repeatedly warn the singer about a partner's infidelities. The song is regarded as an American standard due to its long-time popularity with both music listeners and recording artists.

The first released version of "Oh No, Not My Baby" was by Maxine Brown, according to whom the song had first been recorded by her Scepter Records' roster-mates the Shirelles with the group's members alternating leads, an approach which had rendered the song unreleasable.

Brown says that Scepter exec Stan Greenberg gave her the song with the advisement that she had to "find the original melody" from the recording by the Shirelles: "they had gone so far off by each group member taking their own lead, no one knew any more where the real melody stood."

Brown recalls sitting on the porch of her one-level house in Queens listening to the Shirelles' track play through her open window. A group of children skipping rope on the sidewalk picked up the song's main hook before Brown, hearing the children singing "Oh no, not my baby" as they skipped, gave Brown the idea for the song's melody. Brown recorded her vocal over the Shirelles' track with the group's vocals erased; Dee Dee Warwick provided the harmony vocal on the chorus.

Released in September 1964, Brown's "Oh No, Not My Baby" spent seven weeks in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1964 - January 1965 with a #24 peak. The song was included on her second studio album Spotlight on Maxine Brown, released in 1965. In Canada the song was #32 for 2 weeks.

"Walk On By" is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for singer Dionne Warwick in 1963. Warwick's recording of the song peaked at number 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the Cash Box Rhythm and Blues Chart In June 1964 and was nominated for a 1965 Grammy Award for the Best Rhythm and Blues Recording.

The original version of "Walk On By" by Dionne Warwick was recorded at Bell Sound Studios in New York City, the same late November/early December 1963 session that yielded her hit "Anyone Who Had a Heart". "Walk On By" was the follow-up to that single, released in April 1964 and reaching number 6 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the Cashbox's R&B chart. (Billboard did not print rhythm and blues charts during 1964, the year of the song's peak performance). The song also reached the top 10 in a run on Billboard's easy listening survey. The song was ranked number 51 on the Rolling Stone list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. "Walk On By" became Warwick's second international million seller, following "Anyone Who Had a Heart" in January 1964. Warwick also recorded a German version of the song, titled "Geh vorbei".

Isaac Hayes recorded the song five years later, in 1969, and his version reached number 30 on the Hot 100 chart and number 13 in the R&B charts. "Walk On By" has since charted numerous times in various countries, with wildly different arrangements, as noted below.

In 1978, the Stranglers recorded a version of "Walk On By" which reached No. 21 on the UK singles chart. This six-minute version of the song features extended Hammond organ and guitar solos which Gene Becker of AllMusic likened to the Doors' "Light My Fire". A music video was produced for the single, parodying Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 film Blowup. As with key sequences of the film, the Stranglers video was filmed largely in London's Maryon Park. The single's chart performance may have been impaired by the fact that an EP featuring the song had been given away with the first 75,000 copies of the band's album Black and White.

"Dancing in the Street" is a song written by Marvin Gaye, William Stevenson, and Ivy Jo Hunter. It first became popular in 1964 when recorded by Martha and the Vandellas whose version reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for two weeks, behind "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" by Manfred Mann and it also peaked at No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart following a re-release in 1969. It is one of Motown's signature songs and is the group's premier signature song.

Reeves recounted that she initially regarded the song as too repetitive. Gaye and Stevenson agreed and including new Motown songwriter Ivy Jo Hunter added in musical composition. Martha Reeves remembered Marvin Gaye recorded the song first and sang it as though singing to a lover. Reeves, envisioning block parties and Mardi Gras, asked the producers to let her sing it her way. The song was recorded in two takes. The song's writers made sure to include Detroit as one of the cities mentioned with the lyric: "Can't forget the Motor City".

Billboard named the song No. 29 on their list of 100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time.

The Tams are an American vocal group from Atlanta, Georgia, who enjoyed their greatest chart success in the 1960s, but continued to chart in the 1970s, and the 1980s.

"Hey Girl Don't Bother Me" is a popular single by The Tams. Written by Ray Whitley, it was originally released in 1964 and reached number 41 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 10 on the R&B chart. In Canada it reached number 21.

It later became a favourite on the Northern soul scene in the UK, belatedly reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in September 1971. The single was also number one on the Irish Singles Chart, for one week, the same month. nThe group appeared on BBC's Top of the Pops with the song on eight separate occasions in 1971: August 19 and 26, September 7, 16, 23 and 30, October 7 and December 27.

In 1964, soul music, a genre that evolved from rhythm and blues and gospel , experienced significant growth and popularity. Key artists like Sam Cooke, The Drifters, Otis Redding, and The Supremes released hits that defined the era. Songs like "Mercy, Mercy," "Under the Boardwalk," and "My Guy" became staples of the soul sound.

Here's a more detailed look at the soul music landscape in 1964:

Key artists and songs:

Sam Cooke: His soul-infused gospel style continued to resonate with fans.

The Drifters: They released the iconic "Under the Boardwalk".

Otis Redding: His vocals and songwriting style contributed to the emergence of soul.

The Supremes: They delivered hits like "Baby Love".

Other notable artists and songs: The Temptations with "The Way You Do the Things You Do," "Martha and the Vandellas with "Dancing In the Street," Bobby "Blue" Bland with "Ain't Nothing You Can Do," and Mary Wells with "My Guy".

Genre Development:

Soul music continued to evolve, incorporating elements of gospel, rhythm and blues, and blues.

The term "soul" began to be used more broadly to describe African American popular music.

Impact and Influence:

Soul music gained widespread popularity, influencing other genres and impacting the cultural landscape.

It became a soundtrack for social and political change, reflecting the experiences of African Americans during this period.

In 1964, soul music was evolving, with artists like Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, and the Impressions establishing themselves as key figures in the genre . This year also saw the emergence of influential artists like Martha and the Vandellas, The Supremes, and The Temptations, as well as the continued success of established soul artists like Dionne Warwick. Key Soul Artists and Songs of 1964:

- Aretha Franklin: Although not fully recognized as the "Queen of Soul" yet, her early recordings began to showcase her power and influence.

- James Brown: While not as widely known as some other soul artists in 1964, Brown's influence continued to grow throughout the decade.

- Ray Charles: Continued to be a major figure in soul and R&B, known for his cross-genre approach.

Northern soul, a UK-based music and dance movement, emerged in the late 1960s, drawing inspiration from a particular style of American soul music, particularly from the mid-1960s. While it didn't originate in 1964, the music and styles associated with Northern soul often feature recordings released in that year. Many of the singles and albums that became iconic in the Northern soul scene were indeed released in the mid-1960s, including 1964.

Key aspects of Northern soul in relation to 1964:

Emergence of the scene:

The Northern soul scene started to take shape in the late 1960s, drawing from the British mod scene.

Focus on obscure soul:

The scene was characterized by a love for obscure and rare American soul music, including many releases from 1964.

Dance music:

The music was primarily focused on dance music, often with a fast tempo and heavy syncopated beat.

Cultural phenomenon:

The Northern soul movement became a significant cultural phenomenon in Britain, especially in the North of England.

Recordings from 1964:

Many of the records that became staples of the Northern soul scene were originally released in 1964, such as those from Cameo Parkway, and other labels.

Examples of 1964 Northern Soul releases:

Cameo Parkway Singles:

Several singles from Cameo Parkway, like those by Dee Dee Sharp, The Orlons, and Candy and the Kisses, are considered highlights of the Northern soul scene.

Loma Records:

Loma Records also released several tracks in 1964 that became part of the Northern soul canon, such as those by Billy Storm, Little Jerry Williams, Clyde and the Blue Jays, and others.

In essence, while the Northern soul movement itself emerged later, many of the musical foundations and iconic records that define it were released in 1964.

In 1964, soul music emerged as a prominent genre, often described as the evolution of rhythm and blues, with influences from gospel, jazz, and blues. Key elements included powerful vocals, driving rhythms, and soulful instrumentation, often featuring horns and powerful back-up singers. Major labels like Motown and Stax/Volt played a crucial role in shaping and popularizing the soul sound.

Northern Soul: Out on the Floor - all released in 1964!

This isn’t just about hits, there’s B-sides, obscurities and many hard to find tracks that have gone on to become Northern Soul classics.

So, after months of exhaustive and extensive online research, plus my own recollections and memories, here is my personal compilation of what I consider to be the 164 best and most important soul tracks from 1964.

This fully packed 6CD set contains many rare and extremely hard to find tracks, with a number featured in their original mono 7" single form. Only the original 1964 studio mixes are included. No later remixes, 'stereo enhanced' or live versions here!

*** PLEASE NOTE: A few tracks featured in this collection were actually released at the very end of 1963 but didn't hit their peak chart position (mostly on Billboard) until January or February 1964 and that's why I've included them.

Compiled as always using the very latest and highest quality digital remasters, with a considerable number of tracks sourced from the original master tapes for superior sound quality and enjoyment.
