Tonpei Hidari – Hey You Blues
Trio Records – 3A-118 Released 1973 Japan Track A – とん平のヘイ・ユウ・ブルース Hey You Blues I have promised myself to do a post on Hidari’s “Hey You Blues”, since the day of his passing back in 2018. That was 7 years ago! Why do these things take me so long to get to? I recently pulled […]

Vetty – Nicolas
Riviera 231328 France Released 1969 Track B1 – Nicholas Well here’s a favourite french 7″ that fits into a few categories. It’s beat ye’ ye’, it’s groovy French pop, it’s got a funk kick and it could definitely be filed under oddities. This is all I could find out about the mysterious Vetty that…

Raffaella Carra – Chissa’ Chi Sei
RCA Italiana – PM 3581 1971 Track 1: Chissa’ Chi Sei Here is a real fire cracker from Raffaella Carrà! After losing her just a short time ago (on 5 July 2021), I thought this would be a good time to post what I think is one of her best tracks! Shine on Raffaella! Raffaella […]

Nolan Porter – If I Could Only Be Sure

Columbia 16540 Year 1979 India Track: Mausam Hai Gaane Ka So I just recently returned from a short but incredible trip into country India, which I’m just refusing to let go of at the moment. The experience was one I’ll never forget because of the people I met, the things I saw, and the sounds […]

New Holidays – Maybe So, Maybe No
Soulhawk Records USA Cat.# 1008 Year 1969 I thought researching this extremely beautiful and soulful New Holidays composition (and one of my top ten I must add) was either going to be fairly easy (such an outstanding recording from them…surely credit and facts should be well documented)…or quite...
