ruudtes 60s music - stereo remixes & processed 'stereo' - 2

"Free" was an English rock band formed in London in 1968. They disbanded in 1973 and lead singer Paul Rodgers went on to become a frontman of the band "Bad Company" along with Simon Kirke on drums. Lead guitarist Paul Kossoff formed "Back Street Crawler" and died from drug-induced heart failure at the age of 25 in 1976. Bassist Andy Fraser formed "Sharks".

The band was famed for its sensational live shows and nonstop touring. However, early studio albums did not sell very well – until the release of "Fire and Water" which featured the massive hit "All Right Now". The song helped secure them a place at the huge Isle of Wight Festival 1970 where they played to 600,000 people.

By the early 1970s, Free was one of the biggest-selling British blues rock groups; by the time the band dissolved in 1973, they had sold more than 20 million albums around the world and had played more than 700 arena and festival concerts. "All Right Now," remains a rock staple, and had been entered into ASCAP's "One Million" airplay singles club.

Rolling Stone has referred to the band as "British hard rock pioneers". The magazine ranked Rodgers No. 55 in its list of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time", while Kossoff was ranked No. 51 in its list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".

The song has an impressive charts history, a # 1 hit in over 20 charts, e.g.:
Netherlands 1
France 1
Italy 1
Austria 1
Denmark 1
Norway 1
Sweden 1
UK 2
Switzerland 4
US 4
Germany 5
Belgium 10

Still I thought it was about time to pump up the volume, the sound, the bass, the base drums... hope you like it, let me know! By the way, this is the stereo single version, which in my opinion is far far better than the polished album version, that has a rhythm guitar that sounds totally different (lacks the repetitive striking of the guitar strings). This single version is also on the album ("Fire And Water" Japan UICY 9132 2001 remaster).

Personnel:
Andy Fraser - bass, piano (1968–1971, 1972; died 2015)
Simon Kirke - drums (1968–1971, 1972–1973)
Paul Kossoff - guitar (1968–1971, 1972–1973; died 1976)
Paul Rodgers - lead vocals, piano (1968–1971, 1972–1973)

later members:
John "Rabbit" Bundrick - keyboards (1972–1973)
Tetsu Yamauchi - bass (1972–1973)
Wendell Richardson - guitar (1973)

ALL RIGHT NOW
(Andy Fraser/Paul Rodgers)

there she stood in the street
smiling from her head up to her feet
I said "Hey, what is this"
now baby, maybe maybe she's in need of a kiss
I said "Hey, what's your name baby"
maybe we can see things the same
now don't you wait or hesitate
let's move before they raise the parking rent

all right now, baby, it's all right now
all right now, baby, it's all right now

let me tell you now

I took her home to my place
watching ev'ry move on her face
she said "Look, what's your game, baby
are you tryin' to put me in shame?"
I said "slow don't go so fast,
don't you think that love can last?"
she said "Love, Lord above,
now you're tryin'

"Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season)" is a song written by Pete Seeger in the late 1950s. Except for the title which is repeated throughout the song and the final verse of the song, the lyrics are adapted word-for-word from Chapter 3 of the Book of Ecclesiastes, set to music and recorded in 1962. The song was originally released as "To Everything There Is a Season" on The Limeliters' album "Folk Matinee" and then some months later on Pete Seeger's own album "The Bitter and the Sweet".

The song became an international hit in late 1965 bowing at #80 on October 23, 1965, before reaching #1 on the Hot 100 chart on December 4, 1965, #3 in Canada (Nov. 29, 1965), and also peaking at #26 on the UK Singles Chart. A #15 hit in Holland. In the US the song holds distinction as the #1 hit with the oldest lyrics (Book of Ecclesiastes), theoretically authored by King Solomon.

Source file of the edit is the version on the 1965 album "Turn! Turn! Turn!" (blu-spec cd - Japan 2012 remaster) where it is a stereo bonus track.

TURN! TURN! TURN! (TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON)
(king Solomon/Pete Seeger)

to everything, turn, turn, turn
there is a season, turn, turn, turn
and a time to every purpose under heaven
a time to be born, a time to die
a time to plant, a time to reap
a time to kill, a time to heal
a time to laugh, a time to weep

to everything, turn, turn, turn
there is a season, turn, turn, turn
and a time to every purpose under heaven
a time to build up, a time to break down
a time to dance, a time to mourn
a time to cast away stones
a time to gather stones together

to everything, turn, turn, turn
there is a season, turn, turn, turn
and a time to every purpose under heaven
a time of love, a time of hate
a time of war, a time of peace
a time you may embrace
a time to refrain from embracing

to everything, turn, turn, turn
there is a season, turn, turn, turn
and a time to every purpose under heaven
a time to gain, a time to lose
a time to rend, a time to sew
a time for love, a time for hate
a time for peace, I swear it's not too late

Edit (version 1) for headphones. This is the "crisp" version, with güïro (ratchet-like sound). It was on a single, together with "Fortune teller", but the single was withdrawn, so only a few hundred copies exist. Released January 1964 on an EP that also had "Bye Bye Johnny", "Money" and "You Better Move On" on it. The first 15 seconds Brian sings second voice, as well as 0:35 to 0:40 and further on, like 1:53 and so on. I think this was the reason the group re-recorded the song. Pity, "Brian's" version sure is the best. There is a take of this first version WITHOUT güïro on the bootleg "No Stone Unturned + 7 bonus".

First recorded on August 18, 1963, this take was suppose to be released as the follow-up single to "Come On", but it never happened. It was released in the UK on the album "Saturday Club" in Jan, 1964. Re-recorded November 14, 1963 and released in the UK on the EP "The Rolling Stones", on Jan 10, 1964. Released in the US on "More Hot Rocks 2", in 1972.

Electric guitars: Brian Jones & Keith Richards. Background vocals: Brian Jones (also vocal harmony), Mick Jagger & Bill Wyman. Lead vocals & güïro: Mick Jagger. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts.

POISON IVY
(Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller)

she comes on like a rose
and everybody knows
she'll get you in Dutch
you can look but you'd better not touch

poison ivy, poison ivy
well late at night when you're sleeping
poison ivy comes a creeping all around

she's pretty as a daisy
but look out man she's crazy
she'll really do you in
if you let her get under your skin

poison ivy, poison ivy
well late at night when you're sleeping
poison ivy comes a creeping all around

measles make you bumpy and mumps'll make you lumpy
and chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
a common cold'll cool you but whooping cough'll fool you
but poison ivy's gonna make you itch

you're gonna need an ocean
of calamine lotion
you'll be scratching like a hound
the minute you start to mess around

poison ivy, poison ivy
well late at night when you're sleeping
poison ivy comes a creeping all around

measles make you bumpy and mumps'll make you lumpy
and chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
a common cold'll cool you and whooping cough'll fool you
but poison ivy's gonna make you itch

you're gonna need an ocean
of calamine lotion
you'll be scratching like a hound
the minute you start to mess around

poison ivy, poison ivy
well late at night when you're sleeping
poison ivy comes a creeping all around

PICKNICK
(Boudewijn de Groot) * translation is below

de bloemenwei is groen getooid
we hebben bloemen rondgestrooid
het goudgelokte lentekind en wij
vriendinnen, vrienden, allemaal
gezeten rond de vruchtenschaal
ook u bent welkom, lach en kom erbij

We geven' picknick
onder wilgen, onder linden
tussen klaprozen en blinden
teer beminden neem mijn hart
en sluit je ogen, pluk een bloem

daar zijn Tony Vos en Lennaert Nijgh
van wie ik nog een tientje krijg
het goudgelokte lentekind slaapt zacht
en zoete rook van blauwe kant
omgeeft mijn hoofd als haartooiband
en druppels honing geuren op mijn vacht

we geven' picknick
met tante Bet en pater Jansen
die als elven samen dansen
leliekransen in hun haar
kom maak muziek, pluk een bloem

we vragen u erbij
de rest verzorgen wij
Lennaert Nijgh en ik
wij geven' picknick

nu speelt de blikken blazersband
die meer dan honderd nummers kent
het goudgelokte lentekind speelt fluit
gekleed in vijgenblad van schuim
vliegt Dylan door het hemelruim
speelt hymnen op zijn harp en gouden luit

we geven' picknick
voor de elven en de feeën
voor de runderen en reeën
voor de twee en iedereen
moet aardig zijn, pluk een bloem

* translation of the lyrics by Google Translate:

the flower meadow is decorated green
we have scattered flowers
the gold-leaved spring child and we
girlfriends, friends, all of them
seated around the fruit bowl
you too are welcome, smile and join us

We give 'picnic
under willow, under linden
between poppies and blind people
to love dear take my heart
and close your eyes, pick a flower

there are Tony Vos and Lennaert Nijgh
from whom I still get a decade
the gold-leaved spring child sleeps softly
and sweet smoke from blue side
surrounds my head as a hair band
and drops of honey smells on my fur

we give 'picnic
with aunt Bet and father Jansen
dancing together like elves
lily wreaths in their hair
come make music, pick a flower

we ask you
we take care of the rest
Lennaert Nijgh and me
we give 'picnic

the cans now play wind band
who knows more than a hundred numbers
the gold-leaved spring child plays flute
dressed in fig leaf of foam
Dylan flies through the sky
plays hymns on his harp and golden lute

we give 'picnic
for the elves and the fairies
for the cattle and roe deer
for the two and everyone
must be nice, pick a flower

edit (alt) for headphones. this is a stereo studio take from the album "lola vs powerman and the moneygoround and percy pt 1" (deluxe edition 2014), bearing the title "lola (alternate version)". the song is in true stereo and has the original lyrics, saying "where you drink champain 'n the taste is like coca cola, I can't stand coca cola" (the line ray davies had to change as the bbc refused to play it).

the official release was a #1 hit in Holland, and in 1981 its live version was a #1 hit in Holland too.

LOLA
(Ray Davies)

I met her in a club down in North Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola
C-O-L-A cola

She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her name and in a dark brown voice she said, "Lola"
L-O-L-A Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walk like a woman and talk like a man
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Well, we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said, "Little boy won't you come home with me?"

Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes
Well, I almost fell for my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Lola lo lo lo lo Lola lo lo lo lo Lola

I pushed her away, I walked to the door
I fell to the floor, I got down on my knees
I looked at her, and she at me

Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola

Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls
It's a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world
Except for Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Well I left home just a week before
And I've never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said, "Little boy, gonna make you a man"

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola... (times five)

DEAR ELOISE
(Allan Clarke, Tony Hicks, Graham Nash)

dear Eloise I am writing to say
a number of funny things I heard today
I heard that he's left you and run off to sea
could be the best thing that's happened to me

writing a letter to make you feel better
sorry to hear that he left you that way
I could have told you, he was much older
so much older than you

you rushed in blindly, he treated you kindly
until he found out what he could get from you
you should have departed before he got started
now you've been burned just like I said you would

pa pa pa's...

writing a letter to make you feel better
sorry to hear that he left you that way
I could have told you, he was much older
so much older than you
so much older than you
so much older than you

dear Eloise, I am writing to say
a number of funny things I heard today
I heard that he's left you and run off to sea
could be the best thing that's happened to me

(and a few hundred more pa pa pa's...)

Live lead vocals on the tv show "Shindig!" 11 August 1965. Songwriters: Eleanor Louise "Ellie" Greenwich, Jeff Barry and Phil Spector.
Lead singer: Veronica Bennett (later known as Ronnie Spector). Backing vocals: Ronnie Spector-Bennett, Nedra Talley, Estelle Bennett.
Supporting backing vocals: Ellie Greenwich, Nino Tempo, Bobby Sheen, Sonny Bono, Cher, Darlene Love, Fanita James, and Gracia May-Nitzsche.

I changed the original video that had a black & white photo intro and an animated single photo outro, and made it a bit smoother.

"Be My Baby" was released as a single in August 1963. The song was the Ronettes' biggest hit, reaching number 2 in the U.S. and number 4 in the UK. It is often ranked among the finest songs of the 1960s, and it is regarded by some as the greatest pop record of all time.

Spector produced "Be My Baby" at Gold Star Studios with his de facto house band, later known as "the Wrecking Crew". It marked the first time that he recorded with a full orchestra, and the song is regarded as the quintessential example of his Wall of Sound recording technique.
Wikipedia says: Ronnie Spector (then known as Veronica Bennett) is the only Ronette that appears on the track. (?)

Edit 3 for headphones. Dubbed & super dull video, sorry for that, this is a music channel, not a video channel... (they are actually playing "I'm Alright").Third edit for headphones, heavier, heavyyy, less channel separation, percussion on both channels, wider, broader, fuller guitar sound, and dear Bill's bass all up and over it... oh boy, what a song, what a band, what a Brian Jones' harmonica skills... absolutely impossible anyone can do this song better, not even mister Morganfield...

Recorded June 10 & 11, 1964 in the famous genuine great fabulous Jewish Chess Records studio, Chicago. Hurray for the Jews, and a giant big booh on all islam stupidity, a killer movement even forbidding women to make music... Released on "December's Children (and everybody's)" (US) in 1965. In April 1971 on "Stone Age". Source file of the edit was on the album "december's children (and everybody's)", Japanese mini lp remastered 2006 - uicy-93018.

LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE
(McKinley Morganfield aka Muddy Waters, as his grandma nick named him for playing in the nearby river)

now look what you've done
now look what you've done
look what you've done baby
now look what you've done
you left me here
the lonely one
and all I can say
is look what you've done

a broken heart
a worried mind
because of you baby
dying all the time
I once had a dream
but now I've none
your taking your love
and see what it done

I saw you last night
out moving round
with your new turf
you paint the town
that is OK
you're having your fun
because some day
they call you done

and now your bird cries
the shadow falls
gloomy memories
and I recall
your love is my life
as warm as the sun
but now it is gone
and see what it done

Not an edit. Just a nice love song of the album "Afterglow" (1995 reissue by Sundazed SC 6074). "Afterglow" was an American psychedelic rock band in the late 1960s. Most of the album's tracks were written by Tony Tecumseh (from the native American tribe Modoc), with Gene Resler taking the majority of lead vocals.The album was released in 1968 on the MTA label, but was not successful at the time and the band split up shortly afterwards.
In later years the album acquired a cult reputation, being described as "a classic example of California pop and psychedelic" and "like a sampler of American psychedelic styles", recalling the music of the Doors, Jefferson Airplane, the Byrds and others. In 1995 members of the band reunited to perform, though without Topny Tecumseh because of his poor health. Tony Tecumseh came to be regarded as "a forerunner in Native American involvement in rock and roll music" and was awarded the Native American Music Association's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011. He died in 2012.

MEND THIS HEART OF MINE
(Gene Resler)

there's nothing I can find
to mend this heart of mine
there's nothing
that can make me forget you

well I tried everything
that pleasure could bring
but my soul feels empty and blue

'cause I know that I'm nothing
without you by my side

you brought me sunshine every day
took all my blues away

I long for your embrace
and to see your smiling face
that makes my life seem worthwhile

well I just can't bear
to know that you're not there
because I need you to reconcile

'cause I know that I'm nothing
without you by my side

you brought me sunshine every day
took all my blues away

Edit 3 (pbtal) for headphones. This edit has more volume on the treble. Turn out your lights and let the colors of the video fill your room. Otherwise this is just a stupid video. Or maybe better: close your eyes and enjoy the music. For music is best experience with eyes shut. Source file of this edit is the version of the 2010 PBTHAL vinyl rip of a 1967 German release of "Flowers" (SLK 16 487-P). PBTHAL's vinyl rip sounds so much better than the far to bassy official cd versions!

Harpsichord: Brian Jones. Guitars: Brian Jones (lead) & Keith Richards (rhythm). Percussion: Charlie Watts & Brian Jones. Lead vocals: Mick Jagger. Bass: Bill Wyman. Backing vocals: Keith Richards. An "Aftermath" sessions song that was released on "Flowers".

SITTIN' ON A FENCE
(Jagger/Richards)

Since I was young I've been very hard to please
And I don't know wrong from right
But there is one thing I could never understand
Some of the sick things that a girl does to a man, so

I'm just sittin' on a fence
You can say I got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is too horrifying
So I'm sittin on a fence

All of my friends at school grew up and settled down
And they mortgaged up their lives
One things not said too much, but I think it's true
They just get married cause there's nothing else to do, so

I'm just sittin' on a fence
You can say i got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is too horrifying
So I'm sittin on a fence

I'm just sittin' on a fence
You can say I got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is too horrifying
So I'm sittin on a fence

The day can come when you get old and sick and tired of life
You just never realize
Maybe the choice you made wasn't really right
But you go out and you don't come back at night, so

I'm just sittin' on a fence
You can say I got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is too horrifying
So I'm sittin on a fence

SITTING IN THE RAIN
(John Mayall)

I'm sittin' now here in the rain baby
under that old green tree

I'm sittin' now here in the rain baby
under that old green tree

well I'm sittin' now here for my baby
wonder why she don't come back to me

I got a blister on my heel baby
splinter run right through my heart

I got a blister on my heel baby
splinter run right through my heart

while I'm sittin' now here in the rain baby
wonder why she and me had to part

well I'm so sorry baby
we're not allowed to be

I said I'm so sorry baby
we're not allowed to be

gonna lock you in my heart baby
before I throw away the key

I'm sittin' now here in the rain baby
under that old green tree

I'm sittin' now here in the rain baby
under that old green tree

well I'm sittin' now here for my baby
oooh oh pity on me

I never heard "Tell Me" sounding stereo like this, stunning! Congratulations!!!

"Sad Day" was recorded December 3-8, 1965 in Los Angeles, RCA Studios, Hollywood, released first in the US as a B side single for "19th Nervous Breakdown" on February 11, 1966. Released October 1973 in the UK on "No Stone Unturned". In the US in 1989 on "Singles Collection, The London Years". Further more, as usual, on tons of other compilation albums... like "Stray Cats" which is album 15 of the "The Rolling Stones In Mono". It even was released as B side to "You can't always get what you want" in 1969. In Holland "Sad Day" was released as a single June 9, 1973 (its B (!) side was "You can't always get what you want"); it reached nr 19 in the Dutch Top 40.

Guitars: Brian Jones, Keith Richards. Vocals: Mick Jagger. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts. Piano: Jack Nitzsche; in my opinion this time it is Jack Nitzsche who did a real great trick, playing those "false" notes which makes this song stand out far far above the rest of the Rolling Stones' repertoire.

SAD DAY
(Jagger/Richards)

someone woke me up this mornin' and I lit a cigarette
found myself when I stopped yawnin', started getting myself dressed
then I felt I had a dream, I remembered the things I'd seen
I could still hear the things you said with that bad dream in my head
it was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day

so I called you on the phone and your friend said she's not home
so I told her where I'd be at and that you should call me back
then I looked at the morning mail, I was not even expecting a bill
your letter a-started "Dear", and it left me with these tears
it was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day

think of the times that we had rows, but we patched them up somehow
think of the times I tried to go, but you screamed and told me no
there is only one thing in this world that I can't understand, that's a girl
I keep a-readin' the things you said, like a bad dream in my head
it was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day

oh, what a sad, sad, old day - a sad, old day
it was a sad, old day
a sad, old day. It was a bad, old day, sad old day a bad old day
if there is one awful thing in this world that I can't understand, that's a girl
it was a sad, sad old day, sad old day
it was a sad, old day

Edit for headphones. The Lemon Pipers included singer Ivan Browne, guitarist Bill Bartlett, keyboardist R.G. Nave, bassist Steve Walmsley and drummer William Albaugh. The group is best known for this number one bubblegum hit "Green Tambourine" and several follow-ups, all written by the team of Paul Leka and Shelley Pinz. The Lemon Pipers actually wanted to play more psychedelic music; they only recorded "Green Tambourine" because their label would have dropped them had they refused. They eventually got the artistic control they wanted and ended up dropping off the charts for good with their first self-produced album. They broke up in 1969.

"Green Tambourine" reached no 1 in the US Februari 3, 1968. Other hits were: Rice Is Nice (April 20 1968 no 46 US) - Jelly Jungle (Of Orange Marmalade) (June 1 1968 no 51 US).

Paul Leka was their producer.

GREEN TAMBOURINE
(Paul Leka/Shelley Pinz*)

Drop your silver in my tambourine
Help a poor man fill his pretty dream
Give me pennies I'll take anything
Now listen while I play
My green tambourine

Watch the jingle jangle start to chime
Reflections of the music that is mine
When you drop a coin you'll hear it sing
Now listen while I play
My green tambourine

Drop a dime before I walk away
Any song you want I'll gladly play
Money feeds my music machine
Now listen while I play
My green tambourine

Shelley Pinz was a New York songwriter, poet and psychotherapist, born in 1944, who died in 2004. She told about the inspiration for "Green Tambourine", just before meeting with Paul Leka in the Brill Building ** precinct of New York: "In early Spring, 1966, while standing in front of the Brill Building I watched a man holding a tambourine begging for money. I wrote a poem about him and called the poem, Green Tambourine. I added it to my lyric collection. Sometimes I wonder what happened to the man in front of the Brill Building, holding a tambourine begging for money. I remember writing the lyric, ‘watch the jingle jangle start to shine, reflections of the music that is mine. When you toss a coin you'll hear it sing. Now listen while I play my Green Tambourine’ as if it were yesterday..; in the 60s, on the streets between Seventh Avenue and Broadway there was a magic one could only imagine."

**
The Brill Building was a musical "factory" in Manhattan where songwriters, record producers and recording artists assembled to produce a steady stream of Top 40 songs for American pop music radio stations. It was the 1960s equivalent of "Tin Pan Alley" of the early 20th century. (Thank you Robert Cross.)

Edit 2c for headphones. Video even more improved. Recorded June 9 and October 2 - 5, 1967. Harpsichord, mellotron & brass instruments: Brian Jones. Lead vocal: Mick Jagger. Electric guitar: Keith Richards. Drums & peccussion: Charlie Watts. Piano & mellotron: Nicky Hopkins. Bass: Bill Wyman. Released on "Their Satanic Majesties Request" in December of 1967. Source file of the edit is from a Japanese mini lp version of the album (2006 remaster) [uicy-93026]. You may buy the album to support the artist and their surrounding leechers... like UMG, ABKCO, the truly great assholes of the International Federation of ass lickers of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), the United States Asshole RIAA which I don't even give a shit what that bunch of pocketliners institution's abbreviation stands for, for their and those other forementioned niggles' only goal is to get huge wages. Well, there must be SOMEONE who they can bully to slime their way to the record executives ! Isn't it? (Yes, again an ifpi copyright strike, on ruudtes1, you guessed it right...)

The chorus of this song refers to actress Candy Darling (real name Slattery) and her friend Taffy, who the Rolling Stones had previously met at the Hotel Albert in New York City. According to Candy Darling: "We met them in the Hotel Albert. We were on the floor above them and we dangled a bunch of grapes down on a string outside their window. You see, the Citadel is New York and the song is a message to us – Taffy and me". Darling died of leukemia on March 21, 1974, aged 29.

CITADEL
(Jagger/Richards)

men at arms shout who goes there
we have journeyed far from here
armed with bibles make us swear

Candy and Kathy, hope we both are well
please come see me in the citadel

flags are flying, dollar bills
from the heights of concrete hills
you can't see the pinnacles

Candy and Taffy, hope we both are well
please come see me in the citadel

in the streets of many walls
here the peasants come and crawl
you can hear their numbers called

Candy and Taffy, hope we both are well
please come see me in the citadel

screaming people fly so fast
in their shiny metal cars
throug the woods of steel and glass

Candy and Taffy, hope we both are well
please come see me in the citadel

Not an edit. Dubbed video, I used a live video and replaced the live recording with "Like It This Way" from the double album "The Vaudeville Years Of Fleetwood Mac 1968 to 1970". My apologies for some bad synchronisation. The video is Fleetwood Mac during a live performance, November 3, 1969 in Norway in the Oslo sports hall 'Njardhallen'. A place where sports people think they are doing the world a good service and don't realize they are just ego tripping. I have worked as a porter in a hospital and watched the crowds come in with sports injuries. They don't do this world any good, no, they cost us tons of money!
No, as far as that concerns... I don't like it this way... *

LIKE IT THIS WAY
(Daniel David Kirwan)

better love me, baby

better love me, baby
let me know you're mine
don't care what you say
you're gonna like it this way

give me all your love
'cause I know you need
give me all your love
'cause I know you need
a little bit of that holdin'
a little bit of that squeeze, yeah

better love me, baby
love me all the time
you better love me, baby
let me know you're mine
I don't care what you say
you're gonna like it this way

* You might think I'm overreacting: well, that's mostly because sports today is an idolatry, an idolatry that runs so deep, that for more and more people life is about sports only, it controls their thinking and acting. That is stupid, for a game is about pleasure and never should it be a way of life.

Edit 4 for headphones, January 2022. For a deeper experience of the song... For some reasons * I think this is the best song from the album. On vinyl it sounds way better, hence this edit.
Recorded April 3, 1968. Released on the album "Beggars Banquet" in 1968.
Source file of the edit is "Beggars Banquet" (1989 European reissue, London 800 084-2).
Mellotron: Brian Jones. Vocals: Mick Jagger. Electric guitars and bass: Keith Richards. Drums: Charlie Watts. Piano: Nicky Hopkins. Congas: Rocky Dijon.

* one of the reasons: the sound of the two solo guitars on the left and on the right channel; a majestic find ! ! !

STRAY CAT BLUES
(Jagger/Richards)

ah...
yeah, I got some tail

I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs
I know you're no scare-eyed honey
there'll be a feast if you just come upstairs
but it's no hanging matter
it's no capital crime

I can see that you're fifteen years old
no I don't want your I.D.
I can see that you're so far from home
but that's no hanging matter
it's no capital crime

oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
I Bet, bet your mama don't know you scream like that
I bet your mother don't know you can spit like that

you look so weird and so lost from home
but you don't really miss your mother
don't look so scared I'm not no mad-brained bear
but it's no hanging matter
it's no capital crime
oh, yeah
woo!

I bet your mama don't know that you scatch like that
I bet she don't know you can bite like that

you say you got a girlfriend, that she's wilder than you
why don't you bring her upstairs
if she's so wild then she can join in too
it's no hanging matter
it's no capital crime

oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
I bet you mama don't know you can bite like that
I'll bet she never saw you scratch my bac

Edit (slightly) for headphones, May 2022. The single was released in November 1968, but withdrawn in the UK (probably as it was already on the September 1968 album "Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Status Quo". Though for several weeks in the Dutch tip parade (a pre charts thing) it didn't reach the charts in Holland, nor anywhere on earth. Strange, for I like it.

Status Quo are a British rock group who are best known in home country for their heads-down twelve-bar boogie rock which they have played since the 1970s. They enjoyed 22 Top 10 hits in the UK between 1968 and 1990, including one chart-topper in 1974's "Down Down." Their biggest American hit was the psychedelic "Pictures Of Matchstick Men," which reached #12 in 1968.

TECHNICOLOR DREAMS
(Anthony Frederick Lilly aka Anthony King)

I see your face at the dawn of the day, gold as the sun begins to shine
I see your face now at the end of the day, purple shadows dancing in your eyes.

technicolor dreams are all I see
technicolor dreams of you and me

I see your shadow tripping through a silver glade, tiptoeing over crimson sand
luring me onwards into a sea of jade, leading me gently by the hand

technicolor dreams are all I see
technicolor dreams of you and me

if I could escape through the windows of my mind
I would fly to your magic mountain land
there we would stay 'til the world had passed away
with a love only we could understand

technicolor dreams are all I see
technicolor dreams of you and me

I see your face at the dawn of the day, gold as the sun begins to shine
I see your face now at the end of the day, purple shadows dancing in your eyes

Not an edit. This is from a Frankenstein bootleg, which says: "This is a Frankenstein Christmas gift, a little gift to celebrate Christmas, in the pure Frankenstein tradition, a mix of Keith & Mick's voices on two tracks they have interpreted.
Wishing you all happy holidays and long life to the Stones, by Norbert (aka StonyRoad)."

This song is on the bootleg "Mick & Keith Mixing Voices: A Little Gift For Xmas 2019!" (Frankenstein Production - xmas2019).

I tell you: what has been done is ultra difficult, a warm thank you to Norbert for an outstanding editing job !

SILVER THREADS AND GOLDEN NEEDLES
(Dick Reynolds/Jack Rhodes)

I don't want your lonely mansion
with a tear in every room
all I want's the love you promised
beneath the halo moon

but you think I should be happy
with your money and your name
and hide myself in sorrows
while you play your cheating game

silver threads and golden needles
cannot mend this heart of mine
and I dare not drown my sorrows
in the warm glow of your mind

you can't buy my love with money
for I never was that kind
silver threads and golden needles
cannot mend this heart of mine

silver threads and golden needles
cannot mend this heart of mine
and I dare not drown my sorrows
in the warm glow of your mind

you can't buy my love with money
for I never was that kind
silver threads and golden needles
cannot mend this heart of mine

* The Lord's Taverners Charity Album is the title usually given to an LP album produced by Decca Records in 1965, featuring fourteen artists under the Decca label (Decca LK 4695). Decca itself advertised the album under the name of 14 Great Artists, while the name on the sleeve is 14 New Recordings. In the United States the album was released as England's Greatest Hitmakers (London Records LL 3430).
The sleeve also carries this text: "The profit from this record will be donated to the LORD’S TAVERNERS for the National Playing Fields Association, together with the royalty which has been personally given by each of these famous artists."
This text is missing from the US version, which also has a more prominent title.

Great true stereo version! The music is from a video of the channel "Steven Michael Bogaratof". Alas, the video and his his channel have been removed. Thank you Steven for this precious gem. "Ice in the sun" was recorded in 1968, and appeared on the lp "Picturesque Matchstickable Messages", released in August 1968. It was also released as a single in the UK in August 1968 and was Status Quo's second hit single. #8 in the UK, #15 in Norway, #17 in Ireland and Germany, #18 in Belgium, #22 in New Zealand, #24 in Holland, #28 in Australia.

There is another video of this tv show with the stereo version, but it has a fade in and a fade out, and the tv host is removed by changing the screen width, causing the video size to be just a bit too small. Leaving the cold end out was a mistake, I extended the video to save the cold end.

ICE IN THE SUN
(Marty Wilde and Ronnie Scott)

I'm not a little boy, I've lived alone and never loved so more
but when she touches me I'm on the way, I'm underneath the floor

like ice in the sun I melt away
whenever she comes I melt away
like in in the sun I melt away

I sit down in a chair and read a book as if I couldn't there
but she is in a room and I must look I see her everywhere

like ice in the sun I melt away
whenever she comes I melt away
like in in the sun I melt away

she opens up her eyes as if to speak
she looks at me and I am weak
her eyes they seem much bigger than before
I cannot think anymore

like ice in the sun I melt away
whenever she comes I melt away
like in in the sun I melt away

like ice in the sun I melt away
whenever she comes I melt away
like ice in the sun I melt away
