Alix Dobkin - Lesbian Code (1980)
Café Crème - Unlimited Citations (1978) Everyone was clamoring for fake audience noises exhorting the band playing Beatle disco music. I think they were Spanish. This is not music. It's excrement. It's insulting. Let's DANCE!!! This presaged the bigger "Stars on 45" series of rock and roll abortions by a couple years. This is 10 minutes.
Jackie Lomax - Don't Pull The Trigger (1974) I never liked Jackie Lomax, but for you Beatle completists out there, here he is outside the hothouse of Apple Records.
Alix Dobkin - Living With Lesbians (1975) Shazam gets the years wrong most of the time.
Freddy Canon - 20th Century Fox (1967)
Freddy Canon - Cincinnati Woman (1967)
Freddy Canon - Friday Night Fox (1968)
Freddy Canon - The Laughing Song (1966) Shazam needs to learn the classics! Missed every Freddy Canon song. They're terrible, but still...
Maybe it's my cranky mood, but I find almost every contemporary of The Beatles as if a scared arctic animal finding a floating ice berg and just staying there for the rest of their career. So it is with Gerry Marsden, who never extended himself artistically, putting himself in the hands of whichever producer thought they could "break" him to a new audience of grannies. Not bad, but not great, not even close.
Gerry Marsden - In The Year of April (1968) I hear the slight influence of "MacArthur Park".
Gerry Marsden - Please Let Them Be (1966)
The Band of the Irish Guards - Help (?)
Alix Dobkin -View From Gay Head - (1973)
Sonny and Cher - Hey Jude (1971) Live, for your pleasure. Some nice stage patter.
Jackie Robinson - In My Life (1975)
J Jocko - I'm Gettin' Over (1975) Member of Sha Na Na records an album I am trying to track down. He wrote this, and looks like he's having fun on the cover. My pal (I will always call him that) Elliott Randall produced this. Shazam got it!!
Jackie Lomax - Rock Salt (1972)
Jackie Lomax - Sour Milk Sea (1968) This is the one with The Beatles playing (except John). Sounds like The White Album. Nicky Hopkins on piano.
Badger (Jackie Lomax was in this bad) - White Lady (1974) One of my favorite songs from the Apple Records cadre even though it wasn't on Apple. Jeff Beck places a wonderful lead. Tony Kaye of Yes was in Badger.
John Denver - In My Life (1966)
Alix Dobkin - The Woman In Your Life (1973) I think I was made aware of Alix Dobkin thru David Letterman, like most people. However, to be honest, it must have been nice for lonely, confused girls to find a real, live record album that spoke to them and told them that it's ok to have those feelings, and that they were by no means alone.
Sha Na Na - Oh! Lonesome Boy (1972)
Miss Pat Collins, The Hip Hypnotist - Goin' Out Of My Head (1967)
Some borscht-belt hack - Hey Jude
The Four Freshman - Hey Jude (1969)
Sha Na Na - Canadian Money - (1971)
Ben Colder - Almost Persuaded No. 2 - (1966) This is actually Sheb Wooley, who had a hit with "The Purple Eater". The things people did to stay in showbiz.
Sha Na Na - Sleepin' On A Song (1972) The Night Is Still Young is NOT a bad record. I would have liked to have heard more development of these interesting ideas.
George Harrison - Sour Milk Sea (Mono demo) (1968)
