Donovan - 1966 - Sunshine Superman (Stereo Special Edition) (2011)



Donovan - 1966 - Sunshine Superman (Stereo Special Edition) (2011) @320


Forty-five years after the 1966 US release of Donovan’s trailblazing Sunshine Superman album, this expanded reissue coincides with a celebratory, anniversary-marking Royal Albert
Hall appearance, and a sympathetic new stereo mix allows the songs to flex as never before.
(The original mono mix comprises Disc Two.)

A labyrinthine web of circumstances led Sunshine Superman into sounding the way it did in the first place. In terms of subject matter, it simultaneously mourns the absence of his future wife, Linda Lawrence – pursuing a modelling career in the US at that time – while softly and persuasively beckoning her to return. The decorous Legend Of A Girl Child Linda is immersed in introspection, and a similarly indulgent seam of sumptuous melancholy runs through Celeste. Conversely, the recreational habits of a young hash-head pop star with a freshly acquired LSD fascination inform wantonly unconcealed compositions such as The Trip and The Fat Angel. Taken in tandem, everything significantly points towards manifestations of love, peace and an expansion of the universal consciousness…

Key also is the intervention of producer Mickie Most and arranger John Cameron, who, from Sunshine Superman onwards, would work with Donovan until the close of the 60s. Most’s
vulpine pop instincts stimulated Donovan’s creativity, while Cameron’s fearlessness as an arranger rationalised a heady brew of influences encompassing beat poetry, Celtic folk, boho jazz, chamber music and mainstream pop. In the new mix, harpsichord and string bass tickle the cochlea on the title track and wide-eyed Swinging London paean Sunny South
Kensington, one of a welter of bonus tracks including the vastly superior first takes of ’67- era songs Museum and Epistle To Dippy. Shawn Phillips’ sitar describes serpentine convolutions across Ferris Wheel and Three Kingfishers, while Season Of The Witch gains an ambient extra dimension in its tense spaciousness.

The Bonzo Dog Band - 1974 - The History Of The Bonzos



The Bonzo Dog Band - 1974 -
The History Of The Bonzos
 @320



Originally released in 1974, two years after the greatest comedy rock band in history discovered that, contrary to the title of their reunion album, they couldn't make up and be friendly, The History of the Bonzos has long been one of the most fondly remembered compilations of the age. Like the Beatles' red and blue collections, the Rolling Stones' Hot Rocks, and the Who's Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy, albums that so effortlessly absorbed the oeuvre that a discography seems

incomplete without them, the two-album History of the Bonzos was conceived, designed, and universally lauded for delivering precisely what it promised, a seamless history and a priceless artifact. Drawn from (but not restricted to) across the Bonzos' years with Liberty, which in turn sums up their entire career bar three odd singles at the beginning, History runs from the psycho-sleaze drama of "Big Shot" to the compelling inanity of "Jollity Farm," from the turbo-charged psychedelia of "Mr Apollo" to the fey denouement of "Narcissus," and onto a selection of post-split singles by Viv Stanshall, Roger Ruskin Spear, and Neil Innes. And it is nigh-on perfect. Obsessions trail like running jokes -- a hint of music hall madness, a healthy disrespect for cabaret, a tearful, fearful recollection of school, and a positive hatred of societal stereotypes. The sneering athletics master who torments the odd boy who doesn't like sport, of course, is the same ghastly being that dwells on the far edge of the drainpipe's pink portion -- the kind of person who would never have his hair sculpted in the shape of the Queen Elizabeth ocean liner, who would never think of rhyming "we want our freedom" with "we dig Bert Weedon." Like the best of Monty Python, the most obvious of their disciples, the Bonzos were funny not because they made you laugh, but because they could also make you feel very uncomfortable about your fellow man. The original vinyl release cannot be recommended too highly. The Beat Goes On CD reissue, however, is deeply flawed, and that despite retaining the original booklet and liner notes. Almost every track on disc one loses a fragment of its fade-out, while "Noises From the Leg," "Narcissus," and (on disc two) "Rhinocratic Oaths" not only appear in the same inadvertently clipped format, they also lose their very punch lines. And, while the Bonzos never relied purely on humor for their impact, it does still help to hear it. (AllMusic)
