https://amf.didiermary.fr/twist-leopoldville-with-manu/
The year 1960 found Dibango playing the Anges Noirs in Brussels where he met Congolese singer Joseph Kabasele and his African Jazz. Dibango made his first recordings with African Jazz the following year, then joined the band in Congo-Kinshasa for a re-introduction to Africa that would encompass two years, gigs with African Jazz, and jobs […]

RON GEESIN
A Raise Of Eyebrows
1967 UK pressingOne of the weirdest and most eccentric underground albums of the #60s .
It’s an absolute masterpiece of electronic experimentation and absurdist British art; mixing humorous and satirical spoken word with musique concrète, avant-garde jazz, all built with tape manipulation and sound collage.
Throughout the record, Geesin uses milk bottles and gas cans, along with more traditional instrumentation like guitar, banjo, and piano.
It’s also mixed very interestingly and uniquely. Sounds ping-pong back and forth between channels, creating very unique stereo placements.
The album is a real showcase for ALL of Geesin’s talents, and he played everything himself, at his home studio in Notting Hill, London.
A real wild and unique artistic experience.

Clouds
Joni releases her second album on May 1, 1969. She continues her look at love, loss and the heavy social issues of the time. It includes her classic, Both Sides Now. Stephen Stills helps out on bass and guitar. Joni produced almost the entire album and that's her self-portrait on the cover. The album garnered her a Grammy for Best Folk Performance 1969. "The Fiddle and the Drum" still haunts and is still relevant today. #jonimitchell #clouds #60smusic #music…

VARIOUS ARTISTS
Anthology Of British Rock (The Pye Years - A Compleat Collection)
1985 U.S. 2xLP pressingBought this from a thrift store this morning.
The whole first side (and the first song of side B) is all David Bowie, and it’s got other great songs by Donovan, Sandie Shaw, The Kinks, and Status Quo amongst others.Pretty solid $1 find, man.
Cool little compilation.The two Donovan tunes are without question his two best songs, IMO.

JOHNNY CASH
Now, There Was A Song!
1960 Canada pressingA bit of a change of pace for last spin of the night.
I wanted to listen to some Johnny, so I did a blind pull from the Cash section of my library, and this was the one.This is one of Cash’s “songbook preservation” records; focusing on traditional folk and country songs. Much older songs that had long been in the American consciousness, but stripped down and totally Cash-ified.
Old railroad tunes, frontier songs and murder ballads, all carrying heavy weight with Johnny’s baritone voice. Songs of moral compass, regrets, the pain of heartbreak and longing.
This kind of acts like a bridge between Cash’s SUN stuff and the kind of records he made in the late 60s.
Repeat after me:
ALL CASH IS GOOD CASH.
Tip your waitress well.
She worked hard tonight.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #retro #vintage #art #music #country #johnnycash #1960s #60s #60smusic

All the squares go home!
April 27, 1968 ~ Sly and The Family Stone release Dance To The Music. The album lays the foundation for funk music to follow and is the standard bearer for psychedelic soul. Beyond the great music, the band was a rare example of a racially integrated, multi-gender group. Ah, the communal spirit of the 60's.

THE BYRDS
The Notorious Byrd Brothers
1968 Canada pressingLast spin of the night.
Unequivocally one of my three all-time favorite #60s albums.
This was the very first Byrds album I heard start to finish. My uncles (all 9 of them) all listened to country and folk music, but a few branched out into the more #psychedelic areas of those genres.
That’s where I first heard The Notorious Byrd Brothers. From my Uncle Ed, who sadly, passed away last week.
I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to hear this album without thinking about him, and how he taught me that they were much more than those few hit songs I heard on oldies and classic rock radio as a kid.
This album features a lot of different studio effects for the time, & it’s one of the first LPs to ever feature a Moog synth.
Gene Clark actually came back for a few weeks, & may or may NOT be on some backing vocals on 2 songs.

THE WOZARD OF IZ
An Electronic Odyssey
1968 Canada pressingA truly bizarre and twisted gem.
I’ve been digging into a lot of Mort Garson lately, and I pulled this out of a box I had in my basement this morning, totally unaware that I had it.
The music on this album was composed and executed by Garson, but the whole project is conceived and written by Jacques Wilson.
It trippily re-imagines the 1939 film The Wizard Of Oz, but sets the story in the #psychedelic 60’s, giving all the characters a hippie identity.
Dorothy is an acid-head flower child seeking the “far-out” and “where it’s at”.It’s all quite hysterical and ridiculous, but Garson’s music is the PERFECT backdrop for what’s going on. By this point, Garson had MASTERED the Moog #synth , and these was nothing he couldn’t do with it.
A really wild and entertaining record.

JOHNNY CASH
Ride This Train
#60s Canada reissue
[Columbia “Two Eyes”, black text]I’m starting the daunting task of going through all of my boxes in the basement; sorting them, cleaning them, and filing the really excellent stuff into my regular library.
At least half of it will be culled, but I’ll worry about that later.This morning, I came across a box that was mostly filled with outlaw country stuff; Johnny, Waylon, some Hank, and other legends.
I love the early Johnny Cash, and this is a great one. It’s got “Slow Rider”, “Going To Memphis” and “Old Doc Brown” on it.
Just great songs.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #retro #vintage #art #music #country #outlawcountry #countrymusic #johnnycash #1960s #60smusic
