The late Terry Manning shared a story about playing # 1 Record for Carl Wilson. For @golftangohotel

[julio-viernes]

Corría el año 1969-70 y se juntaron varios músicos en los estudios Ardent - entre otros, Jody Stephens, Steve Rhea, Terry Manning, Thomas Dean Eubanks y ya andaban por ahí Chris Bell y Alex Chilton- y grabaron unas 12 canciones que permanecieron inéditas increíblemente más de treinta años, hasta 2003, año en que Manning las editó en CD en Lucky Seven Records bajo el nombre Rock City. Hay que ver lo requetebuenos, que eran Big Star y este disco perdido es una prueba más, un material de primera que sólo cabe preguntarse por qué estuvo tanto tiempo perdido en un cajón criando polvo. Me gustan Nazz, Raspberries, Stories, Blue Ash, Badfinger, Blue, y otros recordados grupos del incipiente "power pop" de los primeros setenta, pero Big Star me parecen superiores. Arriba, y abriendo el LP, "Think It's Time To Say Goodbye".

The night Terry Manning, Alex Chilton and Chris Bell played Big Star’s Number One Record for Carl and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys.

Cargoe - Feel Alright (1972)

Originally from Tulsa, Cargoe moved to Memphis and signed to Ardent around the same time as Big Star. There is a similarity in sound on this song, but also that Cargoe sadly met the same fate as Big Star - Ardent couldn’t really promote them, and they fell apart.

Terry Manning, the man behind some of your favorite recordings.

At home I had all these Satellite and Stax records that I'd been playing that said, "926 E. McLemore, Memphis, Tennessee" on the bottom of them, on the little curve. So one day I just got on a bus with a map and found the place, and there it was, a big old movie theatre with the Stax logo on the marquee.

I had a guitar in my hand, my '52 Telecaster (still have it), and walked up to the door and thought, "This is the record company, here I go to make records!" [laughter] I went up to that entrance, and went in and there was a secretary there. I think I was fifteen, and I explained that I had come to get a job, to sing, play, write, produce, engineer — whatever they needed I could do it all.

I started going there some, and I started going by John Fry's place a lot, and John would teach me some things.

Nos despedimos de Terry Manning, artista en solitario, productor, ingeniero de sonido, fotógrafo, miembro de Rock City- Icewater (el previo a Big Star), colaborador de Booker T. & the MG's, Isaac Hayes, Otis Redding, Johnny Taylor, Staple Singers, Al Green, Johnny Winter, Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, Fabulous Thunderbirds, y una lista interminable de músicos, y propietario de Privilege Records, copropietario de Ardent Records y fundador Lucky Seven Records.

Su primer LP en solitario, "Home Sweet Home", fue un curioso y extraño disco en el que cupieron versiones de Johnny Cash, Box Tops y Beatles, y varios originales. En realidad la que más me gustó fue su versión de "One After 909" - sobre todo su manera de cantarla- que puede hacer pensar en los primeros Flamin´ Groovies o en Earl Vince and the Valiants y que no está en el LP original sino que es una de las bonus tracks de la reedición en CD en 2006 de Sunbeam Records.
