The Bonzo Dog Band (also known as The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, The Bonzo Dog Dada Band and, colloquially, as “The Bonzos”) are a band created by a group of British art-school denizens of the 1960s. Combining elements of music hall, trad jazz, psychedelic rock, and avant-garde art, the Bonzos came to the attention of a broader British public through a children’s television programme, “Do Not Adjust Your Set”.

Good morning, something out of the ordinary today. It
is because I need a certain fragment of this album for a
project that I had to digitize it this morning. When I was
about 15/16 years old I listened to a whole lot of jazz-rock,
stuff like Stanley Clarke, Jeff Beck, Billy Cobham and the
Mahavishnu Orchestra. This how I got to listen to John
McLaughlin’s work among which this record. The free-jazz
here is no music you will find at the GG in general.
An exception ..

Goeiemorgen, eens iets totaal anders vandaag. Ik heb een
passage van deze plaat nodig voor een project, zodoende
moest ik hem vanmorgen digitaliseren. Toen ik zo’n 15/16
jaar oud was luisterde ik veel naar jazz-rock. Muziek van
Stanley Clarke, Jeff Beck, Billy Cobham en ook the Maha-
vishnu Orchestra. Zodoende kwam ook deze eerste van John
McLaughlin op mijn pad. De free-jazz hier is geen muziek
die je op de GG vaker aan gaat treffen hoor.
Een uitzondering ..

De menselijke geest is een vreemd iets. Hoe vaak het me
niet gebeurt dat er ‘s nachts muziekjes en bijbehorende
muzikanten door m’n hoofd spoken. Soms komt dat door-
dat je, de avond of dag ervoor, iets gehoord hebt. Soms ook
zijn het dingen zoals deze. De plaat die ik vandaag post is
er een die ik in geen jaren beluisterd had. En toch komt ie
dan op een of andere manier in het brein naar voren. Jim
Capaldi was een van de leden van Traffic. In mijn ochtend
dromen kwamen hij en Steve Winwood vooral tevoorschijn.
Steve is op deze plaat ook van de partij. Samen schreven zij
de meeste nummers voor Traffic. Lees meer over de heren
in hun Wikipedia pagina’s ..
P.S. Nergens wordt een woord gerept over
het piepkleine nummer 8, We’ll meet again ..

The human mind is a strange thing. How often it happens
to me that I dream of certain music and the musicians con-
cerned. Sometimes it is because you have heard something
the night or day before. But it also occurs it concerns a record
like the one we have here. A record that I had not listened to
for ages. Still it pops up in your mind somehow. Jim Capaldi
was one of the original members of the band Traffic. In my
morning dreams he and Steve Winwood were mainly there.
Steve is also present on this album. Together they wrote
the majority of Traffic’s songs. Read more about the
gentlemen on their Wiki pages ..
P.S. Nowhere mentioned is the
tiny track #8, We’ll meet again ..

From the same year as yesterday’s album, same label and
also with Sly, Robbie, Barry Reynolds, Wally Badarou, Mikey
Chung and Sticky Thompson we’ve got this stunning record
by Joe Cocker. Also starring are Adrian Belew, Jimmy Cliff
and Robert Palmer. What a great line-up and ditto album.
Sly & Robbie guarantee an incredible fatback sound again ..

Uit het zelfde jaar als gisteren’s album, zelfde label en ook
met Sly, Robbie, Barry Reynolds, Wally Badarou, Mikey Chung
en Sticky Thompson hebben we deze pracht plaat met Joe
Cocker. Ook van de partij zijn Adrian Belew, Jimmy Cliff en
Robert Palmer. Wat een Line-up en ditto elpee. Sly & Robbie
staan wederom garant voor een ongelooflijk dikke sound ..

Vandaag maar eens een heel andere kant op. In de lange
lijst Sly & Robbie projecten is dit een plaat die hoog staat
op mijn lijstje. In 1982 kwam hij uit en scoorde direct als
geen ander. Barry Reynolds werkte jaren met Marianne
Faithfull met wie hij op deze plaat ook enkele nummers
schreef. 10 strakke tracks die naast Sly & Robbie werden
opgenomen met een aantal artiesten die vooral bekend
staan om hun werk in de reggae. We zien Wally Badarou,
Mikey Chung en Sticky Thompson. Prachtige backing vocals
door Marcia Griffiths en Judy Mowatt. Een
snoepje van de bovenste plank ..

And now for something completely different. In the long list
of Sly & Robbie projects, this is a record that stands in high
position. It appeared in 1982 and immediately scored big time.
Barry Reynolds worked with Marianne Faithful for years. She
co-wrote a number of songs on this album. 10 tight tracks
that, next to Sly & Robbie, were recorded with artists we
mainly know from reggae music. We find Wally Badarou,
Mikey Chung and Sticky Thompson. Great backing vocals by
Marcia Griffiths and Judy Mowatt. A slice of sweets ..

There’s hardly a man, woman or child in Jamaica who doesn’t
know the voice of Prince Buster. Turn on the radio any hour of
the day or night, and his infectious Blue Beat is certain to start
echoing round the room. His records dominate the jukeboxes,
and wherever he appears, the “House Full” signs are displayed
long before he makes his entrance on stage. ( backsleeve ..)

Prince Buster’s Blue Beat, later called Ska, conquered England
and America already in the sixties. Later his songs were covered
by many groups such as the Specials when ska music relived
from the late seventies. Contains his famous Al Capone
and Ten Commandments. Get it & spread it ..
