Stephen's Quote of the Day: "It was always about me, me, me - as with many performers. But I've had to learn to do other things. Instead of touring America, for example, I started growing tomatoes."

K Tells Vol. 19
K tells - Yes, it's Number One, it's Top of the Pops!
All three of these albums were the titles of smash hit #1 songs, but surprisingly not one featured the actual songs!
Good Vibrations - 22 Original Hits - 22 Original Artists (Ronco RR 2004 UK - P 11773 US - CSPS 661 CAN) (2021 Remastered Expanded Edition) (1973) When this album was originally released by Ronco in 1973, you would have automatically assumed by the title that the Beach Boys 'Good Vibrations'
would have been included. It was not. I have now put things to rights and added this classic 1966 number one hit as a bonus. The album was released in the UK, US and Canada all with different track listings. I've compiled this 2021 remaster to include the best tracks from all versions, expanding to a 26 track compilation with a running time of 79:49 CD length.
Get It On! - 20 Original Hits - 20 Original Artists (Ronco P 12101 US - CSPS 783 CAN) (2021 Remastered Expanded Edition) (1974) When this album was originally released by Ronco in 1974, you would have automatically assumed by the title that T. Rex's 'Get It On' would have been included. It was not. I have now put things to rights and added this classic 1971 number one hit as a bonus. The album was released in both the US and Canada with virtually identical track listings. This 2021 remaster is now expanded to 22 tracks, with a total running time of 75:20 CD length.
Block Buster - 20 Original Hits - 20 Original Stars (K-tel TU 2430 US - TC 229 CAN) (2021 Remastered Expanded Edition) (1976) When this album was originally released by K-tel in 1976, you would have automatically assumed by the title that The Sweet's 'Block Buster!' would have been included. It was not. I have now put things to rights and added this classic 1973 number one hit as a bonus. The album was released in both the US and Canada with different track listings. I've compiled this 2021 remaster to include the best tracks from both versions; 15 from the US edition, and 8 from the Canadian edition, making a 23 track compilation with a running time of 79:51 CD length.
Enjoy!

SOUL MEETS COUNTRY
VA - Leo Blokhuis Presenteert The Sound Of The South 1961-1976, Where Soul And Country Meet [2011] (4 x CD's)
Leo Blokhuis is an award-winning author and music journalist familiar to Dutch TV audiences as host of a prime-time music show ‘Top 2000 a Gogo’. In his latest ‘sound book’ he writes of the period in the 60's and 70's when soul and country music traditions married together to create country soul and vice versa. The book part is 176 pages of Dutch text and since my near neighbours language is not one of the main languages that I can read I am unable to comment on Blokhuis’ writing skills. What I can say is that the text is interspersed with photographs of significant artists, record labels and a page on each featured song that lists studio details and participating musicians. Clearly a labour of love the book looks great and feels substantial. Don’t be put off if you cannot read Dutch because the ‘sound’ part includes four CD's featuring no less than ninety-seven songs from a host of golden evergreens from Arthur Alexander to Irma Thomas to Aretha to Cissy Houston, just four picked at random. Some of the selections are a tad too familiar but maybe couldn’t be left out. Thus, we get James Carr eternal ‘Dark End of The Street’, Percy Sledges’ When a Man Loves a Woman’ Tony Joe White’s ‘Rainy Night In Georgia’, Clarence Carter’s ‘Patches’ each one a thing of great beauty but surely owned already by just about all lovers of this genre. By way of compensation though Blokhuis selects lesser-known delights from Ann Peebles ‘(You Keep Me) Hangin’ On’, Bobby Womack’s take on Charlie Rich’s ‘Behind Closed Doors’ and Kip Anderson’s ‘I Went Off and Cried’. The inclusion of the deeply moving Vietnam deep soul ‘Mama Hold My Hand’ by Troy Seals was a pleasant surprise and clearly Blokhuis knows his subject also including outstanding cuts by Tommy Tate, Lattimore Brown, George Soule and Bettye Lavette.
This more than worthy labour differs from other surveys of country soul by including several cuts on each CD by artists normally classed as out and out country. I have no doubt that some die-hard soul fans will find the warbling of the likes of Larry Jon Wilson, Bob Dylan, Cher, Ronnie Milsap et al highly irritating. For myself I found that I actually warmed to a number of country intrusions particularly Delbert McClinton’s ‘Lesson In The Pain Of Love’ and Bobby Gentry’s ‘Fancy’. (Amazon)

RICHARD THOMPSON
Richard Thompson - The Life & Music of Richard Thompson [2006] (5 x CD's) + Bonus
For Richard Thompson fanatics (and those who admire the brilliant songwriter and virtuoso guitarist tend to be quite ardent about him), this five-disc set of obscurities, outtakes, live performances, and previously unreleased material is the holy grail. Earlier releases from Free Reed found the label mining the riches of British folk-rock from the likes of Fairport Convention (which featured Thompson in its most popular incarnation), but here they've hit the mother lode. This isn't the place for a newcomer to start with Thompson, as other "best-of" anthologies and career-spanning compilations might provide a better introduction. Instead, this is a treasure trove that will offer discovery for even the most devoted fan. Each disc has a theme--epic ballads, discarded songs, the essential canon--with the disc of cover versions particularly fascinating. From performance tapes, Thompson makes everything from the Who's "Substitute" and Squeeze's "Tempted" to the traditional "Danny Boy" and "Shenandoah" sound like his own. The expansive selection illuminates Thompson as an artist of great range and subtlety, humor and heart, from the intimacy of his solo acoustic performances to galvanizing, electrically charged renditions of masterpieces such as "Shoot Out the Lights," "For Shame of Doing Wrong," and "Calvary Cross." (Amazon)
A sixth CD "RT on FR" is offered free of charge by returning a coupon included in the 5,000 box sets. (included in this post).
The tracks date from 1971 (the year RT left Fairport convention) to 2005 (including two tracks recorded specifically for this project. There are twelve tracks from the seventies and the rest are fairly equally distributed over the next three decades.

K's 1979 SPECIAL VA - The 150 Best Singles of 1979 (2022 Super Deluxe Edition) (8 x CD's)
As a follow up to the recent "Revolt into Style 1979" here is my own compilation of the 150 best singles of 1979.
I've said for years that for me 1979 was the best year in music as so many styles came together at the same time: Punk, New Wave, Mod, Ska, Reggae, Pop, Rock, Disco, Rap and Electronic. It was such an exciting time for music. In fact, more singles were sold in the UK in 1979 than any other year before or since, and you can see by the wealth of classics featured in this compilation, just how amazing the variety of music was.
Hope you enjoy my selections.
Enjoy!

MAURICE FRAWLEY TRIBUTE (R.I.P)
VA - Long Gone Whistle, The Songs of Maurice Frawley [2010] (3 x CD's)
Great songs live forever. Whether you write 'em, sing 'em, or just love the stories they tell and the way they make you feel, make no mistake - the great ones will survive the blessed lot of us. Maurice Frawley left scores behind when he departed this world, after a short fight with cancer, in May 2009. To some folks - Paul Kelly, Charlie Owen, Tex Perkins, Tim Rogers, Mick Thomas and Don Walker for instance, plenty were already classics. For the rest of us, Long Gone Whistle is a gift we never heard coming. This triple CD set features original performances by Maurice Frawley, plus new interpretations of his songs by Adalita, Chrissie Amphlett, Sarah Blasko, Clare Bowditch, Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson, Drones, Renee Geyer, Paul Kelly, the Charlie Owen & Chrissie Amphlett, Panics, Tex Perkins, Luke & Katy Steele, Dan Sultan, and many more. Many of these singers - like most of the rest of US - never had the good fortune of knowing Maurice Frawley. But his songs came from a place that we all share, both geographically and emotionally. (Amazon)
It has the poetic sense of Bob Dylan or even, at times, Woody Guthrie. It's real and its life in regional places, it's human relationships and the heartaches and joys that are to be truly human and in touch with oneself. Especially in 'Lonesome', the local rhyming slang is beautifully quaint and almost makes you pull a twisted smile knowing it will be lost on most international listeners. This adds to the sense of nationalistic pride, like a code to remind the listener that some of our local product is as high quality as any produces anywhere in the world. When Adalita covers this song, it is done beautifully, there is no doubt Mr. Frawley would have been impressed. With his beautiful writing capturing that sense of rural town so beautifully and her awesome rendition it is like the blending of Dylan, P J Harvey, some of Leonard Cohen's wordsmanship all rolled together.
