Feel good music for a Tuesday



Martha Velez is a bluesy vocalist with lots of soul (the Janis Joplin & Ruby Starr style) with a few albums to her credit. My favorite is this one, Fiends and Angels, released in 1970 on the Sire label. It is a vinyl rip at 256k and the files are broken up between side one and side two. Tracks listed below. (Although I tried everything to fix it, track 3, the Dylan cover tune on side two has a skip or two that weren't fixable, sorry).


Side One:I'm Gonna Leave You/Swamp Man/A Fool For You/In My Girlish Days/Very Good Fandango/Tell Mama

Side Two:Feel So Bad/Drive Me Daddy/It Takes A Lot To Laught, It Takes A Train To Cry/Come Here Swwet Man/Let the Good Times Roll.

By request, the other Dr. Dopo Jam LP Entree. Just as good as the other. If you liked it, you'll like this.

Try this for some pop sike sunny happy bubblegummy groovy listening music with some garage thrown in for good measure. It NC6's Revelations released in 1968 on Mercury records also at 256k. This as the Martha Velez is ripped off of vinyl and each file contains a whole side.

Side One:I Will Always Think About You/Dandy Howdy Man/Girl Unsigned/Treat Her Groovy/Summertime's Another Name For Love (love that title!!!)/Just Feel Worse

Side Two:Can't You See Me Cry/We Will Love Again/Things I'd Like To Say/Hold Me With Your Eyes/You Know Better

Here's more of the same, from Timothy Clover, who wasn't really Timothy Clover, but studio people put together for the "concept" and produced by the guys who produced Teddy & the Pandas. Interesting worthless trivia: album released before this one on Tower in 1968--The Smoke-same, album released after--the Love Exchange-same. Lotsa cool stuff on that Tower label.

This album reminds me of swinging London type pop-sike although is really was created in Bosstown (or Beantown as it says here). Check out the track "when You're Dreamin" my personal fave or the bunch.

Had a hard time finding a pic of this. Giant Crab's Cool It...Helios released (again) in 1968 on Uni (I think they were one of the coolest labels in the late 60's). This one starts pretty wild and then tames down to be a nice dreamy psych album. Fun album, ripped from vinyl (yes again) and files are as foillows (because most of the tracks flow into each other):

01:the Invasion of Helios
02:Cool It
03:Hello Yesterday/Trust Somebody/Don't Make Me Leave You/What Became of Yesterday's Hero/Welcome to the World/Help Yourself
04:It's Getting Harder/Who Can Teach A Songbird How To Sing?/Everything Comes Sooner or Later/Cleo/Don't Jump To Conclusions/Popcorn Double Feature/Walking In Different Circles/I Don't Want To Live This Way.

I also have Fiends and Angels on vinyl (with no way to rip it).
I'd like to get the whole album;
any ideas?

BTW: Did you know that Clapton, Kossoff, and a host of others played on that album uncredited. Apparently the poem on the reverse is supposed to give some clues.

Hi Claude. The whole album is there, but there are a couple skips on that one track. As far as ripped vinyl to CD, I would need to know what equipment you have (and don't have). The best thing to do is a google search ("burning vinyl to CD-R" should do the trick). There are hundreds if not thousands of tutorials on the subject.

patrick--sorry no Daughters of Albion (I'd like to check them out though).
