Hello Hello: The Best Of - Claudine Longet

Claudine Longet, the very model of the breathy, sexy French waif as the US and world audience perceived her - film star, TV star, singer/notsinger, a fey presence in a beautiful forest, where The A&M SOUND enveloped her in an embrace of Bossa Nova and reverb while Nick De Caro and Tommy Lipuma, masters of The A&M Soun, took us all on a journey where being a singer or not a singer didn't matter as long as the languid erotic vibe was there. A journey where A.C. Jobim came and wrote and played, where there was a PARTY, and Henry Mancini wrote, as he had done for Audrey Hepburn, the perfect song/notsong, for the ethereal beauty Claudine to sing/notsing as Peter Sellers desperately searched for the bathroom and Blake Edwards collapsed laughing. A magical person in a magical world, in a magical time, "Sleep Safe And Warm" never had a more definitive reading, as Claudine brought her own take on 'vaga' to the non-latino world, and if you know what that all means you'll RUSH out and buy this...

Introducing….
		At last the re-release of one of the best and rarest albums of the sunshine pop / light psychedelic harmony genre of the late sixties. The Four King Cousins “Introducing…” is one of the last undiscovered masterpieces of that golden age. Produced, arranged, and conducted by the great David Axelrod under the pseudonym Lex de Azevedo, the already seductive four female voices are charged still further by Axelrod's characteristic sensuality. The Four King Cousins covers of period material such as Bacharach-David's ‘This Girl's In Love With You’, Brian Wilson's ‘God Only Knows’ and Roger Nichols' ‘Love So Fine’ are as good as any contemporary recordings and compare favourably with giants such as Harper's Bizarre, the Association and the Free Design. Vocal music is currently undergoing a huge renaissance and Axelrod is big business and hip anyway…	Our Price: £9.95 click to see more

Surf, Sex and Cycle-Psychos… (A Diverse Potpourri Of Antediluvian Film Music By Stu Phillips)
		Stu Philips has had a long, varied and successful career music. He has gone from playing piano in cocktail lounges to conducting theLos Angeles Philharmonic. In between he has spent time as an arranger and conductor for night club performers; as a successful A & R record producer; as a composer for television and film. Stu studied music at the high school of music & art in New York City and at the Eastman school of music in Rochester NY. His first professional job was as a copyist for 'The Milton Berle Texaco Hour'. at Eastman he wrote arrangements of pop tunes for the Rochester Civic Orchestra. Among some of the artists he accompanied and was musical director for were Jimmie Rodgers and Chris Connor. Whilst at Colpix, Stu produced three number one hits; 'Blue Moon' for The Marcels', 'Johnny Angel' by Shelley Fabares and James Darren's 'Goodbye Cruel World'. He also produced Nina Simone, Vince Edwards, The Chad Mitchell Trio, The Skyliners and Jimmy Beaumont and The Ronettes (before 'Be My Baby' and Phil Spector). At Capitol Records, Stu Phillips created and produced the Hollyridge Strings - who remarkably at one point in the early sixties had three albums simultaneously in the American top 20. As head of West Coast A & R for Epic Records, he recorded The Doodletown Pipers as well as Nancy Ames, Enzo Stuarti and Bob Crane. Stu also worked as a composer on 'The Donna Reed Show', ‘A Few Gidgets' and 'The Monkees'. During the sixties and early seventies he also composed the music for approximately 15 feature films including the celebrated score for Russ Meyer's 'Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls', 'Ride The Wild Surf' and 'Macon County Line' and the soundtracks for the potpourri of surf, sex comedy and biker films featured in this collection including 'Hells Angels On Wheels' (starring Jack Nicholson) and the extraordinary surfing travelogue 'Follow Me', one of the most creative and skilfully realised film scores of the period. Some of the artists who have recorded songs written by Stu and various co-writers are Nancy Sinatra, Tammy Wynette, BB King, George Hamilton, Dino Desi & Billy, The Sandpipers and Lynn Carey. In 1974, Phillips began a six year undertaking at universal studioscomposing the music to 'The Six Million Dollar Man' pilot, followed by 'Mccloud, 'Quincy', 'Switch', 'The Hardy Boys & Nancy Drew''Battlestar Galactica', ‘Buck Rogers' 'Knightrider' and others. When Glen Larson left universal for 20th Century Fox, Stu accompanied him, scoring 96 episodes of ‘The Fall Guy', as well as 'masquerade' 'Automan' and 'The Highwayman'. Among some of is other credits are 'Spiderman', 'Chicago story' and 'Along Came Bronson'. He has been nominated for four Grammys. The resurgence of fan interest in 'Battlestar Galactica', 'The Monkees' and 'Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls' has found Stu attending cult film and fan club conventions involved with those shows. Now Stu's autobiography 'Stu Who? Forty Years Of Navigating The Minefields Of The Music Business' has been published. It tells the story of his colourful and stellar career in the music business and is deservedly garnering excellent reviews.	Our Price: £9.95 click to see more

Home & Away
		DEL’S LEGENDARY 1967 LOST MASTERPIECE! PRODUCED BY ANDREW LOOG OLDHAM! FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES! Recorded at London’s Olympic Studios in February 1967, Home & Away was intended by Rolling Stones producer/Immediate Records founder Andrew Loog Oldham to be the British answer to Pet Sounds. Del’s passionate lead vocals are supported by a soft psychedelic tour de force of sound. The ambitious recordings feature a baroque mixture of harpsichords, flutes, and French horns. Home & Away also features numerous legends of the Immediate family, including Nicky Hopkins, Steve Marriott, John Paul Jones, Andy White, Twice as Much, PP Arnold, and Billy Nicholls—who contributed three songs as well as backing vocals. Although some singles from the sessions were released at the time, the LP that was to comprise Home & Away languished in the vaults for many years. Included here are all of the tracks that were intended for Home & Away, along with mono single mixes of five songs from the album. Mastered by Alan Brownstein FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES! The 16-page, full-colour booklet includes rare photos by Gered Mankowitz, and extensive liner notes by noted music historian Kieron Tyler. Release Date: 26/11/2012	Our Price: £9.95 click to see more
