Little Richard

The Incredible Little Richard!

Sings his Greatest Hits, Recorded Live

@ 1966 UK Pressing

****

The Incredible Little Richard Sings His Greatest Hits – Live! is the first of two albums Little Richard made for the Modern Records label. A live recording from the Domino Club in Atlanta compiled from more than one concert.

all the tracks on the album have overdubbed audience noises, that obviously trying to mimmic the success of the Beatles on records. But nevertheless the record contains a batch of good live songs from Little Richard on his height of performance.

John Lennon

Imagine (Film Soundtrack)

@ 1988 UK Pressing

*****

In 1988, the John Lennon estate released the documentary Imagine: John Lennon. A loving, airbrushed look at his life, the film offset the negative press generated by Albert Goldman's vicious unofficial bio The Lives of John Lennon, providing an unabashedly biased and entertaining chronicle of one of rock's greatest icons. Fanatics cherished the rare footage scattered throughout the documentary, and they also were thrilled by the first official release of "Real Love," a demo Lennon recorded at his Dakota apartment during the late '70s. (It would later be overdubbed and released as a Beatles' track on Anthology 2.) Despite the inclusion of this and a rehearsal take of "Imagine," the soundtrack is geared toward casual fans. There's a brief roundup of nine major Beatles songs (including "Help!," "In My Life," "Strawberry Fields Forever," "A Day in the Life," and "The Ballad of John & Yoko"), then a summary of his solo works. Imagine may be a double album, but as it turns out, 21 tracks barely scratches the surface of a catalog as deep as Lennon's, especially if it attempts to cover both band and solo recordings. That means, of course, that many great songs -- particularly early singles like "Cold Turkey" and "Instant Karma" -- are missing. The featured songs emphasize Lennon's sensitive ballad side -- it's all the idealistic dreamer, with Lennon the rocker or the social activist pushed to the side. Such an approach is bound to frustrate some fans, but the end result is an entirely listenable compilation and one that says a great deal about how Lennon was perceived at the conclusion of the '80s.

@ 1971 UK RCA Red Seal Pressing

****

I'd forgotten just how lovely this recording is! John Williams and Julian Bream were pretty much at the peak of their careers, so the music is beautifully played and the recording quality is extremely good.- so good that I can hear the traffic rumble ( or is it turntable rumble?) You can certainly hear the difference between John's more mellow toned guitar (a David Rubio) and Julian's brighter one (I believe it was a Manzanero) and I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but 40 years is a long time, anyway it doesn't really matter - just enjoy the wonderful music!
