If I remember right Freedom guys had something to do with Procol Harum and Totty is just a Southern rock band finding from YouTube some years ago.

Eich, thats not groovy. Its menacing!!!

Reminds me of Russian made war documentary "Unknown War" shown on finnish television in 70's featuring symphony no 7. The documentary was hosted by Burt Lancaster.


This is another Youtube finding. I tried to find more information about Len Green, but my efforts were in vain. Anyways I like it a lot.

Len Green - Piano-Solo



Chantays - Move It (1963)

I was moving around my vinyl albums the other day and I found an old supergroup album that featured Dylan, Jagger, Lennon, and McCartney. It brought back fond memories of the late 60s when all sorts of recording artists were forming ad hoc groups to make albums: Blind Faith, Bloomfield/Cooper/Stills, CSN&Y, etc., but this was a historic blending of talents who, in order to maintain a degree of anonymity (and to avoid contract conflicts beteween the record labels) performed under the nom de plume, The Masked Marauders. Take one of the main cuts as an example - Dylan and Jagger sing together:




Yes, it's not real: the whole album grew out of a joke review by a music critic at Rolling Stone Magazine; he wrote about this fictitious assemblage as a parody of all the real life 'supergroups' and collaborations springing up at the time. However, there were an awful lot of people who believed the review was real and flooded record stores with requests for the album, which caused the stores to try seeking out which label was distributing the album. The editors at Rolling Stone were so amused they hired some musicians to record the parody and Warner Records released the album and a single from the album. The thing actually sold over 100,000 copies...

...of course, not all customers were satisfied:

Too bad you live in the wrong country...

Try searching YouTube for "The Marked Marauders"; there are several other videos with the same numbers, Season Of the Witch and Saturday Night At The Cow Palace; I just selected what appeared to be the best quality videos...

As a make good, here is a video by a young lady you might not want to bring home to meet the folks, that is, unless you are expecting a large inheritance and want to rush along the whole coronary/fatal stroke scenario:



I miss Chrissy...

For a change of pace, here is a great singer singing a great number:




...and live...





Sorry, again, for the problems...

Damn these regional restrictions(sigh). I could find only the season of the witch by The Masked Marauders.
..Anyways it proved to be good quality hoax.


The Masked Marauders - I cant get no nookie





Divinyls is totally unknown band to me. Chrissy Amphlett is a scary gal but seem to have a very personal voice and knows how to use it.

Judy is one of my favorite female singers. I love her dark and powerful voice, she never fails.

Thanks

This number was actually the single taken from the album (B-Side: Cowpie); I had a bit of fun when the single came out and I went to special order it since almost all the record stores wouldn't stock it because of the title. I went to the local Sears store, where I had special ordered other records; the man behind the countered was middle-aged and looked every inch like a Nixon supporter (remember this was 1969); he asked me for the name of the single so he could look it up on the listings; when I told him, he turned various shades of red and pink and became very flustered and demanded to know if I was playing some sort of joke; I told him no, it was a legitimate record; he looked it up, found it, became more confused and upset than ever; he actually got on the phone and called the record distributor to verify the single's existence; in the end, he had to take my order. It arrived later in the week, and, when I went to pick it up, it was given to me in plain brown paper wrapper, by the same fellow, who handled it as if it were nuclear waste...

BTW, a few years later someone else perpetrated another great hoax by releasing an album titled The Best Of Marcel Marceau: the album consisted of two sides, each a long stretch of absolute silence: the punchline to this hoax for those not familiar with Marceau - he was a very famous French mime...

Chrissy was one of a kind, an original voice and gifted songwriter; I feel she was much underappreciated...

I also have admired her voice. In a time when female singers were of the delicate folk singer-ish style, she was, as you said, dark and powerful; she had an almost cabaret tinge to her singing. I have long thought Grace Slick got a lot of her style from Judy...
