X-ray Spex - Germ Free Adolescents (Peel Session)
I've not heard this for 40 years, then twice in two days (the first time from a recording of a whole Peel show). The stuff the sax player did in Essential Logic was great; I think she was a better singer than Poly as well:

Gethsemene from Jesus Christ Superstar, sung by Steve Balsamo
Another Biblical adaptation: Excerpt from "The Messiah" by Henry Cow (the drumming on this is great, and so is the singing).

Now this, from the same compilation: a suite of music from the Giallo "Who Saw Her Die?" starring George Lazenby and set in an off-season Venice concerning a sculptor mourning a dead child - made in the year before "Don't Look Now."
A great film, and great music.

Another Corona song:
Two scientists are racing
For the good of all mankind
Both of them side-by-side
So determined
Locked in heated battle
For the cure that is their prize
But it's so dangerous
But they're determined
Theirs is to win
If it kills them
They're just humans
With wives and children
Upwards to the vanguard
Where the pressure is too high
Under the microscope
Hope against hope
Forging for the future
But to sacrifice their lives...

Just come across this.
As I remember it, the NME one week did a parody review of a record that didn't exist, and the following week some Sounds journalists had formed a group and made the record a reality.
For a parody of a parody it's pretty good.
I used to see the singer years later, working in the Record and Tape Exchange book shop in Notting Hill Gate.

Disc 8 of this:  Which is part of a concert recorded in France, in 1973.
Spacey but very well-played jazz rock, with daft but endearing lyrics: The light gets stronger and all our eyes look
yonder to see what's going on
But that's all right you'll soon be out
of sight and surfing to the sun
The moonwheel's turning, the waves unfulling you're
learning you're Zero at the centre of the whirlpool
Your aquaman and in your hand is a watering,
can I now or can I not believe it leave it to be
The fun gods winking and we're all blinking and
thinking we're sinking in the sea
You're in your glider the tide you're riding inside her
is turnin with the moony like the sky... boy
Okay, you're Mister Illusion
Smiling in all this confusion
'cause you're young today, tomorrow start to play
I'd just like to say
No I never
No I never ever ever glid before
I never - oh no
Last warning tide turning
Moon burning slow motion
Waves that you ride
Just to bolster your pride
But if it's love that you're after
The craft of a hero
Will vibe at your side as alone you may glide
With a tiny afterthought
Flashing as the planet calls
I never never glid before
Open up the veil and let us take a peep in
through the moon and diving deep we'll meet the whale
Where rides the captain submarine
Who told the tale of pixies green
That sends us kisses in the brain
And out-far planets never seen
Except by technicolour dream
I never never glid before
That's another story - now's the time to go and find
The cuppa tea - see |
