Black Flag - Everything Went Black (1983)

Black Flag - Everything Went Black (1983)

When Everything Went Black was first released in 1983, Black Flag was in the
middle of a backbreaking legal dispute with Unicorn Records. As a result of
litigation, the band was prevented from using the Black Flag name on any
records. Hence the original packaging for this album, which listed only the
names of individual bandmembers on the cover (this was rectified on
subsequent issues). It's a double-album (on vinyl) compilation of previously
released material and outtakes -- though the European edition features a
wholly different running order. The material, dating from 1978 to 1981, is
excellent in places, average in others. However, only obsessives need track
it down -- as signified by the inclusion of two versions of several songs
(including stalwarts "Damaged" and "Police Story"). The fourth side of the
original vinyl issue also included a sequence of radio spots discussing
forthcoming Black Flag gigs, which is entertaining stuff, but it's more useful as a historical document than a listening experience. -- Alex Ogg

The Adverts - Crossing The Red Sea With The Adverts (1978)

The Adverts - Crossing The Red Sea With The Adverts (1978)

Artist: The Adverts
Album: The Adverts - Crossing The Red Sea With The Adverts
Audio CD (August 13, 2002)
Original Release Date: August 13, 2002
Number of Discs: 1
Format: Original recording reissued
Label: Fire UK
ASIN: B0000633G1

Product Description
'Ultimate' edition of the UK punk's classic 1978 debut includes 12 bonus tracks. 'One Chord Wonders', 'Quickstep', 'Gary Gilmore's Eyes', 'Bored Teenagers', 'Safety In Numbers' & 'We Who Wait' are taken from singles. 'On Wheels', 'Newboys', 'New Church', 'Gary Gilmore's Eyes', 'Drowning Men' & 'No Time To Be 21' are previously unreleased live tracks. 2002.

A devastating debut, one of the finest albums not only of the punk era, but of the 1970s as a whole, Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts was the summation of a year's worth of gigging, honing a repertoire that -- jagged, jarring, and frequently underplayed though it was -- nevertheless bristled with hits, both commercial and cultural. "No Time to Be 21," "One Chord Wonders," and "Bored Teenagers" were already established among the most potent rallying cries of the entire new wave, catch phrases for a generation that had no time for anthems; "Bombsite Boy," "Safety in Numbers," and "Great British Mistake" offered salvation to the movement's disaffected hordes; and the whole thing was cut with such numbingly widescreen energy that, even with the volume down, it still shakes the foundations. The band's original vision saw a rerecording of "Gary Gilmore's Eyes," a Top 20 hit during summer 1977, included on the album -- it was dropped (for space considerations) at the last minute. Several early '80s reissues of the album attempted to rectify the omission by appending the single version to side two of the LP, but it was 1983 before the rerecording itself made it out, as a minor U.K. hit single, and 1998 before Smith himself was finally able to restore Red Sea to its original glory, with "Gary Gilmore's Eyes" slotted in immediately before "Bombsite Boy," and another absentee, "New Day Dawning," following "Safety in Numbers." This revised CD release also wrapped up the remainder of the Adverts' 1977-era singles as additional bonus tracks; in 2002, the so-called "Ultimate Edition" of Red Sea appended a further six tracks, drawn from a riotous live show in early 1978, effectively doubling the original album's length. ~ Dave Thompson, All Music Guide

The title is a bit misleading for, although this is certainly "new" Blue Cheer, it is hardly an "improvement." It is important as a document of a band with some influence and certain cult status. Now that the Velvet Underground have achieved true cult superstardom, it is bands like Blue Cheer that continue to get rediscovered by devotees of '60s music. Here, bassist Dick Peterson and drummer Paul Whalley present two distinctly different Blue Cheers. Side two works much better. It is 14 minutes and 43 seconds of three Randy Holden originals, "Peace of Mind," "Fruit & Iceburgs," and the brief "Honey Butter Lover." "Peace of Mind" is great, a lilting hard rock riff, and a refinement of the blistering Blue Cheer sound that launched them into the consciousness of the public. This is the stuff Grand Funk should've listened to — or better still, should have covered. Although both sides of this album were produced by Milan Melvin, Dot recording artists Burns Kellogg on piano and organ, and Bruce Stephens on guitars, sandblocks, and tortoise shell, cannot help Peterson lift the basement tape vibe of side one to a place where it can compete with Holden's contributions on the second side. Even covering Dylan's "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry does not bring the effort anyway near the majesty of "Peace of Mind." Blue Cheer "As Different As Night and Day" would've been a better title for this disc. "Fruit & Icebergs" is heavy psychedelia. Black Sabbath's "Rat Salad" meets San Francisco's Big Brother & the Holding Company without Janis Joplin. The final track, "Honey Butter Lover," is a cute acoustic piece with more spirit than anything on side one, which makes this a real Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde album of Blue Cheer in transition.

Blind Faith - Blind Faith (1969)

Blind Faith - Blind Faith (1969)

Artist: Blind Faith
Album: Blind Faith
Released: 1969/2008
Genre: British blues, Psychedelic rock

Blind Faith is the self-titled album by the British supergroup Blind Faith, which consisted of Eric Clapton (The Yardbirds, Cream), Ginger Baker (Graham Bond Organisation, Cream), Steve Winwood (Spencer Davis Group, Traffic) and Ric Grech (Family). Their only album, Blind Faith was released in August 1969 (see 1969 in music).

There was an intense buzz about the band and its debut album Blind Faith, which on release topped Billboard's Pop Albums chart in America (as it did the UK charts) and peaked at #40 on the Black Albums chart, an impressive feat for a British rock quartet.

They began to work out songs early in 1969, and in February and March the group was in London at Morgan Studios, preparing for the beginnings of basic tracks for their album although the first few almost finished songs didn't show up until they were at Olympic Studios in April and May under the direction of producer Jimmy Miller. The music community was already aware of the linkup, despite Clapton's claim that he was cutting an album of his own on which Winwood would play. The rock press wasn't buying any of it, knowing that Baker was involved as well, and then the promoters and record companies got involved, pushing those concerned for an album and a tour.

The recording of their album was interrupted by such a tour of Scandinavia, then a U.S. tour from July 11 (Newport) to August 24 (Hawaii), supported by Free and Delaney & Bonnie and Friends. Although a chart topper the LP was recorded hurriedly and side two consisted of just two songs, one of them a 15-minute jam entitled "Do What You Like." Nevertheless the band was able to produce two classic hits; Winwood's "Can't Find My Way Home" and Clapton's "Presence of the Lord."

Tracklist:

1. Had To Cry Today
2. Can't Find My Way Home
3. Well Alright
4. Presence Of The Lord
5. Sea Of Joy
6. Do What You Like
7. Exchange And Mart [bonus track]
8. Spending All My Days [bonus track]
