Hallelujah1971

Hallelujah Babe

It was recorded in London and all the musicians who played on it, sang on it and wrote all the songs were British! Of course, Keith Forsey and Paul Vincent (who essentially WERE Hallelujah) did indeed make a living in Germany. Forsey eventually went on to become both an in-demand session drummer and hotshot producer to the stars based out of Munich.

I am actually surprised how much I like this. It’s basically sing-songy rock with slight progressive, psychedelic and folk touches, but it does it very well, with some nice vocals and very lovely melodies indeed. If you know what you’re in for, you could be in for a treat with this. I didn’t, and I was pleasantly surprised. Underrated!

LadiesWC. 69' ( venezuela )

This is a great psychedelic rock record from Venezuela from the '60s. Sung in English, the album is a masterful contribution to the genre. The fuzz
and the wah-wah here dress up cool ballads ("Heaven's Coming Up") and screaming rockers ("I Can't See Straight") on this varied time capsule. This tends
more to power electric blues and hard rock then to flower power. This had been a vinyl album as sought after as it was hard to find, so it is great that
this CD edition is now available of this important 1969 release, perhaps the most important rock release from South America for that year.

This late-’60s Venezuelan band is another fine discovery from Shadoks, who seem to be unearthing an endless stream of worthy, neglected psychedelic albums.
The liner notes leave many questions unanswered, but the story appears to begin with Venezuelan-born American Steve Scott. A bassist and singer, he found
two Venezuelan brothers, Mario and Jaime Seijas, and they then completed a foursome with Adib Casta. Inspired by the times, they recorded one album and
became quite popular, playing regularly to large crowds. There’s no information, though, about where the strange name came from, or what happened to the
group.

In any case, drummer Mario Seijas and Scott lay down a strong, solid rhythm section, with the bass more prominent than usual on records of this time.
Jaime Seijas’ rhythm guitar generally lies low and lets lead guitarist Casta wah and wail his way around the songs. That turns out to be a good idea,
because Casta can really shine, whether playing clear melodic lines, warbly wah-wah, or intense fuzz leads.

The 10 songs here represent, for the most part, prime acid rock. Recorded in 1969, it feels like it, with wah and fuzz represented in spades. Scott’s
vocals are strong and clear, with that high-end wail you can hear in so many Nuggets-era bands. Showing some of their blues heritage, they pull out the
harmonica for emphasis on a number of songs, with "Put That In Your Pipe and Smoke It" a particularly good example of Scott’s skill there.

The 34 minutes range from "I Can’t See Straight" and its harmonica and guitar lead to the vocal harmonies of "And Everywhere I See The Shadow of That
Life," with a break featuring some truly blazing psych lead guitar. In general, actually, this album belongs to Casta’s lead guitar displays. From
brittle, high-end twangs to watery wah and, best of all, totally space-bound fiery fuzz, he makes me wish the band had recorded more albums.

A few of the songs veer from the blues-centered rock. "To Walk On Water" is really a pop song, slow and more orchestrated than most of the others here.
The vocals are more in a crooner style than the usual rock feel, but it still works. "The Time Of Hope Is Gone" feels somewhat more calculated, very
much of its time. With organ and ending with a portentous spoken-word section, it’s a reasonable attempt at overtly mystical psychedelia.

The studio work throughout the album contains a number of nice touches, as they toss in sound effects to liven things up. From the opening toilet flush
to a baby crying, they were clearly having fun with it.

Definitely a good find, Ladies W.C. can stand with many of the psych stars of the time. If you’ve been enjoying some of the other Shadoks finds like
Spectrum and Iota, you won’t be sorry if you pick this one up. You may wish, like me, that the band recorded more than 34 minutes.

IRON MAIDEN

Gli Iron Maiden (non correlati con l'omonima band britannica heavy metal "Iron Maiden") furono un gruppo hard rock che si formò nel 1966 con Barry Skeels, Steve Drewett, Chris Rose e Alan Hooker nella città di Basildon nell'Essex, presso Londra prendendo nome dalla Vergine di Ferro (Iron Maiden in inglese), strumento di tortura medievale.

Gli Iron Maiden suonavano pezzi dei Rolling Stones e anche pezzi blues anche con il nome di "Growth". Nel 1967 uscirono dal gruppo tutti i componenti tranne Drewett e Skeels. Con solo Drewett e Skeels che suonarono blues con il nome di "Stevenson's Blues Department" nei pub e nei club dell'Essex e di Londra. Supportarono molte band tra cui i Jethro Tull (che coincidenza ispirarono i più famosi Iron Maiden), Fleetwood Mac, The Groundhogs e i King Crimson.

Nel 1967 si aggiunsero al gruppo Trev Thoms alla chitarra e Paul Reynolds alla batteria e nacquero i Bum. Scritturati dall'etichetta Gemini nel 1968 realizzarono il singolo con il nome di Bum God of Darkness/Ballad of Martha Kent, e dopo il tour australiano, nel 1969 ripresero il nome di Iron Maiden e nel 1970, uscì dal gruppo il batterista Paul Reynolds sostituito da Steve Chapman, registrarono il singolo Falling/Ned Kelly, che uscì nel 1970. Registrarono l'album Maiden Voyage lo stesso anno, con sonorità e testi molto vicine ai Black Sabbath, gruppo con cui fecero alcune date quando si chiamava ancora Polka Tulk e faceva cover blues e dei Beatles. Quindi gli Iron Maiden si possono definire insieme ai Black Sabbath i fondatori del doom metal. Nel 1970, l'etichetta chiuse e Maiden Voyage non venne pubblicato e la band poco dopo si sciolse. Con i nastri duplicati di Skeels ben ventotto anni dopo nel 1998 venne pubblicato l'album Maiden Voyage.

kaleidoskop (1974 germany)

VERY RARE KRAUT-PROGRESSIVE
Günter Blendermann (bass), Peter Burkhold (saxophone), Ulrich Framke (saxophone, clarinet), Wolfgang Schmeer (saxophone, flute), Dietmar Schmidt (drums, percussion), Wolfgang Schmidt (organ, electric piano, steel guitar)
A band with their roots in Bremen/Hannover, going back to the 1960's. It was reputedly "extraordinary soul jazz rock album with great grooves and charming careless playing" according to one source - which turned out to be not too far off the mark. Kaleidoskop played a richly textured jazz-prog that was actually quite dated for 1974, with lots of winds, and 90% instrumental, with hints of Nucleus, Xhol and Zappa/Mothers styles, but less experimental and a touch cheesy in some of the jazz breaks. The song in "Stranger Blue" takes the sound Emergency territory.
