A
Most records buyers probably weren`t
even aware of this album`s original release
18 months ago. Everything But The Girl`s
seventh studio LP created hardly any
interest among a public for whom the
band`s brand of guitar playing had long
been little more than a feeble copy of other
musicians. Re-released now, following the
huge success of the popular single Missing,
the album`s selection of basically pointless
songs seems more tired than ever. Only the
new version of Missing makes any lasting
impression and provides a reminder of the
power once found at the heart of Everything
But The Girl`s music.
A GREAT DAY IN HARLEM
by Various Artists
B
At last, an alternative to the terrible
collections so often sold as introductions to
jazz! A Great Day in Harlem is based on a
delightful documentary of the same name
which tells the story of how some of the
finest musicians in jazz history came to be
photographed together in front of a New
York building in 1958. Excellent examples
of the work of 18 of them are found on the
12 recording with dates ranging from 1936
to 1994. Particular success are Count Basie
with his band, including Lester Young, and
Charles Mingus`s original version of
Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, written in memory
of the same Lester Young only two months
late after his death and less than a year after
the original photo was taken.
HERE AND THERE
by Elton John
C
This was originally produced in 1976
together from shows in London and New
York, but it has now explained to a great-
est live hits’ format with 16 more songs
from those nights. Three of these –
Whatever Gets You Through The Night,
Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds and I
Saw her Standing There – feature John
Lennon in his last onstage appearance.
WHO`S NEXT
by The Who
D
Considered by many to be the band`s
best, 1971`s Who`s Next was their only
Number 1 album. Like many projects, it
was developed from an earlier idea, in this
case an attempt to combine rock-music
opera with the limited technology of the
time. With seven extra songs, four of them
previously unreleased, notes by one of the
band members and previously unseen
photographs, this is definitely a collector`s
item.
KING OF THE DRUMS
by Sandy Nelson
E
Despite the enthusiasm of the
accompanying notes, this album really
centers on just one masterpiece – the 1961
instrumental hit Let There Be Drums, with
its marvellous rhythmes and rousing
guitar-playing. Let There Be Drums
actually followed another hit – the inferior
Teen Beat – and Nelson spent the
remainder of the 1960s trying
unsuccessfully to produce similar hits. All
these attempts are gathered among the 24
pieces here and this album provides a
lesson in just how short a musician`s stay
at the top can be.
