The Who - WHO (deluxe edition 2020)


The Who - WHO - 2019 (deluxe edition 2020

A limited deluxe edition of The Who's 2019 album WHO. Packed with a special LIVE AT KINGSTON CD that was recorded at the show put on by us on the 14th February 2020.

The songs on the deluxe version of ‘WHO’ were recorded in Kingston on Valentines Day this year exactly 50 years to the day since The Who’s seminal show at Leeds which became the infamous live album ‘Live At Leeds.’ The deluxe version of ‘WHO’ is preceded on 5th October by ‘Beads On One String (Yaggerdang Remix)' of this new version of the song Pete Townshend says "This is a cowrite with Josh Hunsacker who I met on Soundcloud. He wrote the music, I wrote the lyric and vocal melody. In 1932 on a visit to London the spiritual master Meher Baba said that he had come to draw all the religions of the world together like beads on one string. We wait in hope, with love."

ABOUT LIVE AT KINGSTON

To promote the album WHO, The Who staged four intimate acoustic shows at PRYZM in Kingston upon Thames. Billed as their smallest-capacity shows in four decades, these shows are the most recent live recordings from The Who.

Seven songs from those February 2020 shows make their physical debut here. Among them, the live staples “The Kids Are Alright” “Substitute,” the fan-favorite “Tattoo” (played on stage for the first time since 2008) and pair of songs from WHO. In the vulnerable setting of this intimate gig, The Who present slightly stripped-down arrangements of the jaunty, Simon Townshend-penned “Break The News” and the jazzy “She Rocked My World.” All this before a show-stopping “Won’t Get Fooled Again.”

VA - Electric Ladyland Redux


















VA - Electric Ladyland Redux - 2015 

After waiting several months, we can finally answer the obvious question: does Electric Ladyland Redux honour its glorious model? The answer is without a doubt “yes”. Firstly, because each one of the bands involved found different ways of making their respective cover song their own. That ALL THEM WITCHES would take on the lengthy blues jam “Voodoo Chile” seems obvious a priori. It remains so a posteriori as the Tennessee-born quartet walks on Hendrix’s steps with ease. There’s a certain nonchalance to their version, as if they didn’t have to push themselves. In doing so, the band manages to bring back the original spirit of the song. Just as EARTHLESS does, rolling out their acid groove on “Let The Good Times Roll” as if the track was written for them. As they manage to own the song without ever betraying its initial style (or their own), EARTHLESS reveals the role Hendrix’ music plays in their artistic identity. Even bands whose musical styles are further away from Hendrix’ music managed to find a gimmick to make their covers interesting. Superchief’s raw vocals beef up “Crosstown Traffic” while TUNGA MOLN disorients the listener with their Swedish version of “All Along The Watchtower”. In this game, though, ELDER pulls the longest straw with a full and extensive reshaping of “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)”. The band dares to change the song beyond recognition as they allow themselves to move across different styles and atmospheres, starting with a lengthy psychedelic intro, then stepping into a heavy rock saturation block which gives way to a distorted solo wandering into experimental territories. ELDER’s “Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)” is a tour de force which honours the original Electric Ladyland diversity.

02. Open Hand - Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland)
03. Superchief - Crosstown Traffic

White Lightning – Strikes Twice 1968-1969


White Lightning – Strikes Twice 1968-1969 - 2000

Hard fuzz trio featuring the blazing leads of Zippy Caplan (ex-Litter). The band was less garagy and more pounding hardrock than the Litter. "Under the Screaming Double Eagle" collects studio tracks from 1969. White Lightning was a slang term for LSD at the time (and bootleg whiskey prior to that). The group added two new members and shortened their name to Lightning. They continued in the hardrock mode but now with dual leads. "Lightning" is another excellent effort, just missing the certain magic they possessed as a power trio.

"White Lightning" was formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1968 by ex-"Litter" guitarist "Zippy" Caplan and bassist Woody Woodrich. The two musicians had been jamming together for close to a year before they decided to become a group.

The name "White Lightning" was picked by "Zip" Caplan and Woody Woodrich during their drive back from the "Litter's" filming of "Medium Cool" because it was another name for acid.

"White Lightning's" original drummer, Garr Johnson, quit the group after only a months rehearsals because he didn't believe a three-piece act could make it in Minneapolis. Mick Stanhope was immediately brought in from Chicago by Ronn Roberts to fill the empty drummer's chair.
