No-brainer top-shelf garage from Europe (and beyond..?)

[mojogogo]

I Love UK Kaleidoscope. I did not know "Dive Into Yesterday" saw a release in 7" format. Another one by them that slays me is the title track from "Faintly Blowing." If that were a single, it would be a top want for me.

This scarce Azerbaijanian EP lacks just a snip of punch, sonically speaking. As a time capsule of sorts it performs admirably, with, yes, you guessed, Dive Into Yesterday being a highlight.

 

[mojogogo]

As much as I love the stuff, album (almost) only pop sike cuts are pretty far from the original thread topic. Possibly deserving of a new thread? Or is that beyond the purview of the G45 forum?

 

[mojogogo]

That "Azerbaijanian EP" depicted above looks to be of modern vintage. And the songs are alternate versions? Any Idea of the source?

 

[soundog III]

Yes, the tracks are sourced from BBC sessions.

Ha ha, never seen that before. I also got it wrong, it was Further Reflections In The Room Of Percussion that was on the B side of that Dutch 45.

They also did a BBC session version of Faintly Blowing which appeared on the recent Look At The Sun comp, apparently recorded in late 67, so it had been in their repertoire for a while before they released it.

I think I prefer the prefer the original pairing with "Holidaymaker" as the b-side.

This video features France Gall dancing along as the band plays both sides of their single.

Hmmm, seems these guys were Sweden based transplanted Englishmen? Anyone know any thing about them? The 45's a goodie...

 

[mojogogo]

The picture sleeve alone is fantastic, and both sides of the record live up to it. Great stuff in the Who/Creation mold.

Boss Group for sure

 

[swampthing]

The Group came from the UK (Birmingham?) and toured Sweden and the rest of Scandinavia for a short period. I believe one member moved here.

 

[swampthing]

Edit, they came from Hampstead....

As a follow on note for enthusiasts here's a press release from the AZ. EP Knot.

Isn't there some sort of saying regarding the benefit of another set of Eyes? If so, here goes --->

July 9. Yeah, I'd bet it was an all night session.



A noteworthy one, that's for certain...


Police sirens, clocks striking, cars skidding; You were maybe expecting something else??



As pre - Pupils as I've ever seen. Pupils = Eyes, geddit? :rolleyes:

And another Dutch language 45. Actually Het had their own language and were perhaps the personification of pop-art. The title of this is their own language and translates as roughly "can you go there?" or "can you imagine?"

Hmmm, seems that if these guys were set on going somewhere there may have been little recourse in attempting to stop them...

Here's one that's been a favorite of mine for a while...
