The Walker Brothers - The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)/Make It Easy On Yourself 7" (1965)


The Walker Brothers hit single "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)" backed with the Bacharach-penned classic "Make It Easy On Yourself" from Smash records. Uber-classy pop tunes! Recommended! 320 rip.

Tracks:

02 Make It Easy On Yourself

The Shadows of Knight - Gloria/Dark Side 7" (1966)


Two fuzzy rips of two fuzzy songs. Dark Side should have been the A side in my opinion although both tracks are great. Recommended listening for all the psych and garage fans out there. 320 R.I.P.

Tracks:
01 Gloria
02 Dark Side

Sven Libaek - Inner Space 7" (1973)


Here are two excellent tracks by Mr. Sven Libaek that were originally featured as the underwater soundtrack to Ron & Val Taylor's Inner Space (a thirteen part underwater nature documentary/television series), which apparently was narrated by William Shatner. I haven't seen it (although I would love to) so correct me if this information is wrong... The music is dark, spacey, psychedelic and remains pretty low key and subdued most of the time with the exception of a couple dramatic builds here and there. If any of you listen to the Cowboys from Sweden mixes, you may recognize Dark World from the "Smoke" mix. Danger Reef has a cool shark jazz feel, with ultra atmospheric/psychedelic vibes and wah-wah guitar. Super highly recommended! Also this may still be in print, so please try and purchase it if you come across it. Sometimes www.dustygroove.com has it. 320 kbps includes scan.

Tracks:
01 Dark World
02 Danger Reef

Tracks:
01 Vem Kan Segla Forutan Vind (Who Can Sail Without The Wind)
02 Hey Cowboy

Jack Nitzsche - The Lonely Surfer/Song For A Summer Night 7" (1963)


Next up is a Jack Nitzsche single that I bought the other day for a buck, oddly enough it was also released in 1963. The A side sounds like a twangy surfer/biker soundtrack and the B side is more of a swanky saxophone driven strip tease number (think Raumpatrouille era Peter Thomas). Both are very cool! 320 rip.

01 The Lonely Surfer
02 Song For A Summer Night

New Link! Françoise Hardy - EPL. 8111 7" (1963)



So today I sat around for a few hours and ripped a bunch of 45 singles for fun. Naturally, I thought I should share them with everyone. First up is a 4 song EP from 1963 by the lovely queen of Ye-ye, Françoise Hardy. This is really cool, very early work that features arrangements by Marcel Hendrix and his Orchestra. Kind of a western cowboy pop vibe. Short and sweet (9 minutes of music)! Ripped at 320 Kbps. Get it!

Tracks:
01 Qui Aime-t-il Vraiment (Your Nose Is Gonna Grow)
02 Saurai-Je
03 Bien Longtemps
04 On Dit De Lui (It's Gonna Take Me Some Time)

Les Paul and Mary Ford - "I'm A Fool To Care" (1954)


Here is a short 4 song 7" EP by Les Paul and Mary Ford. Really tasteful guitar playing by les Paul and nice smokey vocals by Mary Ford. The songs are kind of a jazz/blues/country lounge kind of thing. Nice music. Keep in mind this record is from 1954, and I had to scrub some mold off it to rip it, so the rip is pretty crackly. Just pretend you are in your den, sitting in front of a warm fire place (your freezing apartment) listening to this on your vintage Hi-Fi (your crappy ipod dock). Enjoy this 320 rip!

Track Listing:
01 I'm A Fool To Care
02 I Really Don't Want To Know
03 Auctioneer
04 It's A Lonesome Old Town
