Harry Sacksioni – Harry Sacksioni: Gitaar (LP) (1975) – €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

 

Harry Sacksioni (Amsterdam, 23 oktober 1950) is een Nederlands gitarist.
Hij werd in de jaren zeventig bekend om zijn akoestisch gitaarspel, dat hij vooral door zijn samenwerking met Herman van Veen onder de publieke aandacht kon brengen.
Zijn composities spreken, bij gitaristen en anderen, zeer tot de verbeelding.
Beroemde stukken zijn onder meer Meta Sequoia, Vensters, Elixer, Thee bij tante Josephine, Bello en Paddentrek.
Verreweg het meeste van zijn oeuvre bestaat uit eigen composities, van een hoofdzakelijk instrumentaal karakter. Reeds vanaf zijn eerste plaat “Harry Sacksioni: Gitaar” (1975) liet hij zich bij zijn gitaarcomposities door andere instrumenten begeleiden, variërend van een banjo, viool of tuba tot een band, orkest of menigte autoclaxons.

“Huiswaarts” is een duivels meesterwerk om te componeren en dan ook op die manier te spelen!
En in hetzelfde rijtje staan ook “Elixer” en “Meta Sequoia” als toppers van dit album.
“Goofy” is ironisch maar ook weer meesterlijk gecomponeerd en je wordt er bij het luisteren zelf ook sloom van.

Mary Martin & John Raitt – Annie Get Your Gun (OST) (1957) – €5,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

 

The two stars compliment each other superbly. Ms. Martin is a different Annie from Ethel Mermanz, and brings he own star quality performance to the role. Mr. Raitt as always is a superior vocalist who always brings his game to anything he sings. An enjoyable recording of Mr. Berlin’s classic musical.

Mary Martin and Ethel Merman ranked as the two most important female performers in the Broadway theater from the 1930s to the 1960s.
But they almost never played the same part. The exception is the role of Annie Oakley in Annie Get Your Gun. Merman originated the part on Broadway in 1946; Martin headed the national tour that began in 1947. The two had completely different styles, and they approached the role completely differently.
Merman was brassy and matter-of-fact. Possessed of a clarion voice, she made each of her characterizations oversized and overpowering. Martin always seemed as much a soubrette as a leading lady, using her warm, intimate voice with its rounded tones to achieve a kittenish, lightly comic tone. Accordingly, Merman’s Annie Oakley emphasized the character’s blunt, competitive side, which made it so hard for her to win the love of Frank Butler.
Martin’s Annie had a more subtle appeal. Employing more than usual of her native Texas twang, Martin gave a good-humored performance that brought out the character’s conflict between independence and romantic longing.

Merman’s portrayal was immortalized on the original Broadway cast album in 1946, but it took until 1957 for Martin to get her version on record.
Ten years after she had toured the country in the show, Martin was engaged to record an album, perform in a West Coast tour, and do a live television broadcast, in that order. Her co-star was John Raitt, another Broadway veteran who had played Frank Butler in summer stock.
Their album, recorded on September 16, 1957, might as well be billed as a duo album rather than as a TV soundtrack, since it features only the two leads, backed by a chorus and orchestra.
Songs written for secondary players have been eliminated so that, for example, “Who Do You Love, I Hope?,” one of the show’s hits, is missing.
But both Martin and Raitt, who has a strong, clear tenor, are marvelous, and they are also marvelous together on “They Say It’s Wonderful,” “Anything You Can Do,” and “There’s No Business Like Show Business.”
This may not be a true soundtrack/cast album, but it chronicles one of the two major interpretations of the part of Annie Oakley in Annie Get Your Gun, and for that it is an important part of musical theater history.

  2. John Raitt – I’m A Bad, Bad Man

The Whispers – Love For Love (LP) (1983) – €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

 

Love for Love is the fourteenth studio album by the American R&B/Soul vocal group the Whispers, released in 1983 by SOLAR Records.

The bouncy, irresistible “Tonight” gets this reissue off and flying. Originally released in 1983, Love for Love dissects, analyzes, and emotes on relationships via a solid set of love songs.
These nine meaty tunes include the spunky “Keep on Lovin’ Me,” a staple of their live show, and “Do They Turn You On,” a scintillating ballad written by Caldwell.
Here’s a tip: Go straight to the songs penned by Caldwell on Whispers’ albums, the guy writes gems; a Whispers album featuring Caldwell songs only is overdue.
The title track, “Had It Not Been for You,” and “Try It Again” are jazzy, piano-tinkling torchers that are even more enjoyable with your boo, a glass of wine, and soft lights.

 

Side one

  1. Tonight – 5:46
  2. Keep On Lovin’ Me – 5:50
  3. Love For Love – 4:25
  4. This Time – 5:22

 

Side two

  1. Had It Not Been For You – 4:10
  2. Try It Again – 3:47
  3. Do They Turn You On – 5:20

Vangelis – Soundtrack – Chariots Of Fire (LP) (1981) – €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

 

Chariots of Fire is a 1981 musical score by Greek electronic composer Vangelis (credited as Vangelis Papathanassiou) for the British film Chariots of Fire, which won four Academy Awards including Best Picture and Original Music Score.

The film score combines styles from across the musical spectrum including prog-rock, symphonic classical music and new age.
Vangelis’ electronic score for a film set in 1930s Britain seemed an odd match at first, but the title theme, with its echoing, manipulated rhythm box and melodic hook, became one of the most popular theme songs of the early ’80s.
Just hearing the opening 30 seconds conjures up — for those who have seen the film — shots of men running on the beach in slow motion, and has been borrowed, adapted, and ripped-off ever since. Suffice it to say that the other six tracks here can’t quite match the punch (if that’s the word for something so fey) of the title theme.
Much of the rest is very sappy, if often melodic, proto-smooth jazz with a burnish of electronic screeches, washes, and fuzzy fake strings.
If it works for the insular “Five Circles,” it doesn’t for “100 Metres,” which so desperately wants to be Elgar’s “Pomp and Circumstance” but can’t quite get there with its watery synths — suddenly you realize what a full orchestral arrangement could have added.
Side two is a side-long “suite” of the themes on side one, created, one feels, to fill up space. Vangelis went on to snag more soundtrack work, notably Blade Runner.

 

Side one

  1. Vangelis – Titles – 3:34
  2. Vangelis – Five Circles – 5:21
  3. Vangelis – Abraham’s Theme – 3:21
  4. Vangelis – Eric’s Theme – 4:19
  5. Vangelis – 100 Metres – 2:05
  6. The Ambrosian Singers – Jerusalem – 2:47

The Valentine Brothers – First Take (LP) (1983) – €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

 

The Valentine Brothers were an American recording act in the late 1970s and 1980s, comprising brothers John and William “Billy” Valentine. One of their biggest hits, as singers and songwriters, was “Money’s Too Tight (to Mention)“, which reached no. 41 in the R&B chart in 1982 and was later recorded with greater worldwide success by Simply Red.

The brothers were born in Columbus, Ohio. Billy Valentine performed as a singer with Young-Holt Unlimited in the mid-1970s, before joining with his brother John to begin performing as The Valentine Brothers in 1975.
Starting in 1977, they began a three-year stint as part of the touring company of The Wiz musical. Their first self-titled album was issued by Source Records in 1979, and their second album, First Take in 1982, featured the single “Money’s Too Tight (to Mention)”, written by the duo and produced by Bobby Lyle.
The record spent 14 weeks on the Billboard R&B chart, reaching no. 41. The following year, another track from the album, “Let Me Be Close To You”, also reached the R&B chart.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo – Shaka Zulu (LP) (1987) – €5,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

 

Shaka Zulu is a 1987 album by South African a cappella group Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo are a light and pleasant choral group, yet demonstrate none of the requisite complexity, interest, edge, intellect, or virtuosity, to earn acclaim as singular or significant musical artists.
Though Paul Simon is a respectable and successful songwriter, he has been known to fall into the trap of ‘easy-listening’.
‘Shaka Zulu’ does absolutely sound like an album by Paul Simon’s backing vocalists. ‘Graceland’ was the man’s strongest work post-Garfunkel, but it was his songwriting that buoyed it.

Following the collaboration on Paul Simon’s 1986 album Graceland which brought the group to international prominence, Shaka Zulu (produced by Simon) marked the band’s first genuine international hit.
Shaka Zulu was a collection of newly recorded versions of older Mambazo hits, such as “Unomathemba”, “Hello My Baby” and “Lomhlaba Kawunoni”.
Shaka Zulu won a Grammy in 1988 for Best Traditional Folk Recording.

The album was also featured in Robert Dimery’s 2006 musical reference book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

 

Side one

  1. Unomathemba – 3:46
  2. Hello My Baby – 3:07
  3. At Golgotha – 3:58
  4. King Of Kings – 4:05
  5. The Earth Is Never Satisfied – 2:54

  1. How Long? – 3:05
  2. Home Of The Heroes – 3:12
  3. These Are The Guys – 4:38
