D-Sides, Orphans, and Oddities

Bill Haley‘s ”Rock Around The Clock” and The Beach Boys post-Pet Sounds greatness, as well as some off-the-wall disco, is featured on this episode of ”D-Sides, Orphans, and Oddities.”

Is re-recording your big hit from years ago desperation? Or a profound need to...no, it‘s desperation. This time on ”D-Sides, Orphans, and Oddities”, some VERY obscure remakes, more Gene Pitney, and other crazy records.

My vinyl record collection gets stranger and stranger on this episode of ”D-Sides”.

Songs from the dark world of anti-abortion preaching. Why do anti-abortion songs all seem so dour? It's funny how, deep down, society in the age of flower power disdained women just as much as it ever did, only in a different lexicon.

There is a one-man connection to Wendy and Bonnie (1969) and Wendy and Lisa (who played in Prince and the Revolution) and that connection is Lisa's father Mike Melvoin, an in-demand session player in the '60s and '70s, who had a prominent role in recording this record, a curio of a simpler time.

A potpourri guaranteed to please you! From George Burns to Mike Curb, The Partridge Family to Chuck Berry! So much fun for you from "D-Sides, Orphans, and Oddities".

Os Mutantes and Rita Lee are Portuguese royalty because of their music, the movement they headed, and their fearlessness. In 1968, in their country, you could go to jail for what they were trying to do. Some did.

Sha Na Na recorded their own compositions in the early 70's. They were sort of a...real band. These records were not successful but come with me and enjoy four of them. Also, some releases from Ringo and George's record companies in the '70s.

Dave Mason, Cass Elliot, Laura Nyro, and a RARE disco single by Paul Revere and the Raiders.

This episode of "D-Sides, Orphans, and Oddities" is fully intended to convert you and yours into Mormons. Don't fight it, you heathen swine.
