Recent Scans....

Question for everyone that reads the blog......

I was just wonderin' everyone's opinion on hosting all the songs on 4shared.com. Is everyone havin' an OK time downloadin' 'em like they are? Would you like me to move the songs to another site?

Let me know.......

The Complete Brother Susan

Here it is, all four songs from the Winter and Spring of '74.

The first, is Ride Ride Ride b/w Flash. Both are solid numbers with a great guitar sound but are missin' that extra somethin' to put 'em over the edge as a memorable song.

Their 2nd single, See My Fingers Fly b/w Full Blooded Natural Man is where the kick into high gear. SMFF's 50's Doo Wop vibe harkens to Sisters' "There's A Raver Coming Home", which can't be bad.

So ya' know the drill by now, look to the right, and see how ya' can download The Complete Brother Susan, in one zip file.

Gang-Run, Run, Run

Sorry for the long wait, but this one is worth it.

From what I have gathered, Gang were a group of Teens in a BCR's kinda' mold. They have another single which is great too called "Lightning Lady" which I heard thanks to fellow Collector Tim Purr on one of his great comps.

This one starts off with a great drum sound and then a fuzzed out bass and guitar join the fray. Beach Boy like harmonies by the time the chorus kicks in and a great lead guitar part make this one to remember. It reminds me a touch of Hello if they had a more punky sound.

Listen for y'er self, look to the right to see how to download this one!

Five Dollar Shoes-Your Rock'n'Roll Band

I never thought that the day would come where I would actually go to a Kiss fansite, but Kissfaq.com actually had some interesting info on the LP that 5$S recorded before this great track....

Is alleged to features Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley on backing vocals, BUT this has not been substantiated. Five dollar Shoes was: Gregg Diamond (drums, percussion, vocals), Tom Graves (keyboards, vocals), Jim Gregory (bass, vocals), Mike Millius (harmonica, vocals), and Scott Woody (guitar, vocals).

Now I'm not gonna hold the possible Kiss connection against 'em, because this one great track! T-Rex female backin' vocals, check, Dolls-ey style boogie, 'nother check, and one cool-ass chord progression (you'll know what I mean when ya' hear it).

Look to the top right corner to get this Gem of JSG!
