Mystery Album: Innovations by Duffy Power chosen by Alan

“Back in the 60s, Britain had some of the finest (and earliest) white blues singers. Some became household names; step forward Rod Stewart and Joe Cocker. Some were destines for fame’s spotlight to illuminate them only briefly; Long John Baldry and Chris Farlowe springing to mind.

And then there was Duffy Power.

A product of the Larry Parnes (Shillings and Pence) stable, alongside Billy Fury, Georgie Fame and other ‘dynamically’ re-christened artists, Power recorded a slew of singles for Parlaphone between 1962 and 1965 backed by such luminaries as ‘Big’ Jim Sullivan, The Graham Bond Organisation and, before springing to fame as Procol Harum, Southend’s finest R ‘n’B combo, The Paramounts.

In 1965, Power’s manager arranged a mammoth recording session where around two dozen tracks were demo-ed which would show the direction Duffy would take for several years. Utilising respected Jazz musicians Phil Seaman, Jack Bruce and John McLaughlin, plus ace rhythm section Danny Thompson and Terry Cox a full 3 years before they “broke” with Pentangle, Duffy produced a melange of jazz, folk and blues which was not only light years ahead of it’s time in musical terms but also years ahead of record company expectations. The result? The album was shelved for 6 years and, even when released in 1970 at a time when John McLaughlin was the brightest star in the Jazz/rock firmament and artists such as Tim Buckley and John Martyn were treading similar paths, the record was under promoted and quickly deleted. Innovations has been re-released several times since, plus there are various compilation albums which are all worthy of investigation.”

Side note: By the latter part of the 70s, Duffy Power, disillusioned with the music business, had “retired” and taken a government job. In the late 90s he began to record again and has re-surfaced most recently with the album Tigers in 2012”.

Mystery Album: Old No. 1 by Guy Clark chosen by Philip.

“It’s funny how you can remember how and where you bought certain records. I first came upon “Old No1” while browsing through the bargain bin in Debenham’s record department one lunch time in the late 70s. I recognised it’s sleeve having seen it illustrated in the NME’s “Best of 1976” list. Knowing nothing more about it, and considering the cut price, I thought, “What can I lose?” (NME was wrong: it’s one of the best records of 1975 but was presumably too late for that years vote.) In fact, on getting it home, I discovered one of the most perfect sets of songs I have ever heard; I thought so then and I think so now.

It was Guy Clarke’s debut album, at the age of 35, by which time he had already lived a full and varied life. A Texan who as a young man moved to California, he made his living in various ways including carpentry and boat building, art direction for a TV station and guitar making and repair, including a stint at the Dobro guitar workshop in Los Angeles.

In 1971 he left California for Nashville where he established himself as song writer. The song “LA Freeway” on Old No1 is about the desire to leave Los Angeles’ concrete jungle. The record does not have the standard Nashville country production sheen, and Guy Clarke’s voice is too rough for mainstream country hits. Several of the musicians were members of Elvis Presley’s entourage, but the most interesting names in the credits are among the backing vocalists; Emmylou Harris providing a high harmony on “That Old Time Feeling” and a 20 year old Steve Earle also featuring, 11 years before his “Guitar Town” debut in 1986. Every song is a highlight but particular favourites include the childhood memory of “Texas 1947”, the portrait of good-time girl “Rita Ballou”, the gorgeous love song “Like A Coat From The Cold” and the story of old men in “Desparados Waiting For A Train”.

Guy Clarke does not think of himself as a country artist but as a folk singer. In his long career there has of course been some inconsistency in his output but I would especially recommend the albums “Better Days”, Boats To Build” and “Workbench Songs”. For me, however, “Old No1” is still number one”.

Guest Biscuit: All Butter Shortbread Fingers

Mystery Album: Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers chosen by John.

“It’s the mid-nineteen seventies… progressive rock has moved from the underground to the hideous excess of King Arthur on ice, soul music has turned into disco, the stalwarts of the folk-rock scene are changing personnel at a rate that renders them almost unrecognisable, singer-songwriters are going too far beyond their acoustic roots and covering everything with a glossy sheen (yes Al Stewart, I do mean you). What are we left with in a rapidly stagnating UK music scene?

Pub rock, that’s what. And then along came punk and all the pub rockers who had an ounce of credibility and two ounces of energy suddenly became supercharged with punk’s vibrancy and relevance. Among them Dr Feelgood, The Count Bishops, Eddie & The Hot Rods and… The Stranglers.

I first saw The Stranglers on 4 June 1976 at St Osyth’s College where I was a student and a member of the “Ents” Committee. They lasted about 15 minutes before being booed off. Fast forward almost a year and ‘Rattus Norvegicus’, The Stranglers’ debut album, became the soundtrack to the final term of my degree. I revised to it, mounted my exhibition to it, drove up and down the country with it blasting out of a (borrowed) portable cassette player hanging from the dashboard of my ’63 Beetle. From the opening two-note intro of ‘Sometimes’ to the gurgling plughole noises at the end of ‘Down in the Sewer’ there was forty minutes of growling bass, swirling keyboards, razor-sharp guitar chords and unique drum patterns overplayed with acerbic vocals. This is an album where every song makes its own individual mark – no fillers, no repetition but a cohesive sound that holds the many different strands together; melody against angular riffs, cascading keyboards against slashing guitar, tight drumming against free-form solos… it’s all here and more besides.

Ok, the lyrics are misogynistic (an accusation that they later refute and claim as tongue-in-cheek). They also denied the obvious American west-coast influences but later admitted an admiration for bands like The Doors and Love.

It’s an album I never tire of hearing – there are still, after all this time, many ‘shivers down the spine’ moments; the point at which the bass comes in on ‘Hanging Around’, JJ’s rant over the tacet in ‘Ugly’ to name but two. It would take something very special to nudge this album out of an ever-changing ‘Top 3 Favourite Albums’ list where this one (most of the time) resides at Number One. A classic.”

Mystery Album: An Awesome Wave by Alt-J chosen by Andrew

“As mentioned on the night, I found selecting my mystery album very difficult. RPM, to me, is about experiencing a wide variety of interesting and unusual songs, many of which I have not heard before. I wanted to choose an album which continued this for other people whist still being one of my favourite albums.

Δ, pronounced as Alt-J, are a fairly recent band which I discovered around May 2012. The band formed in 2007 whilst at university in Leeds (One English literature student, three fine art students). The band’s very distinctive sound developed from the need to keep noise, particularly bass, down to a minimum when practicing in the halls of residence. This resulted in their very limited use of what Tim would call proper instruments (i.e. bass guitar and bass drum) instead they use electronic synthesisers. The psychedelic album artwork is actually a three layered satellite radar image of the delta of the Ganges. The band’s name originates from the keyboard shortcut on the Apple Mac operating systems for the capital Greek letter delta, which ties in with the artistic vision of the album and in particular the song Tessellate.

As for the album, I particularly enjoy the following tracks:

“Tessellate” is a fun upbeat track about a physical relationship

“Breezeblocks” is about committed love ending and the lengths you would go to win that person back (my personal favourite track)

“Something Good” is about an infatuation which does not materialise into a relationship but the person remains constantly in your head.

“Fitzpleasure” is a heavy bass track which feels raw, almost unfinished. However, it works really well.

“Matilda” is about Natalie Portman’s character at the dramatic climax of the Luc Besson film Léon.

“Taro” is a powerful song about the war photographer Robert Capa, as he dies and his emotions as he is reunited with his partner Gerda Taro.

I also like the use of the three interlude tracks particularly the third which acts as a palate cleanser after the heavy bass in “Fitzpleasure”.

When I bought this album around June 2012, it literally did not leave my CD player for the next six months and there are only 3 or 4 other albums which I can say that about. I find it a very easy album to get immersed in and it also won the Mercury Prize and BBC 6 Music’s debut album of the year in 2012. The band categorise themselves as alternative folk influenced sub pop, a blend of alternative, experimental and folk influences which results in an innovative sound which I feel works really well and does not feel over complicated. An Awesome Wave is not only a great selection of songs but it flows really well when listened to as a complete album. I thought it would work well for the mystery album and I hope you liked it”.

Guest Biscuit: Viscount Mint Creams

Mystery Album: The Big Lebowski Film Soundtrack chosen by Jonothan

“I can't really mention the Soundtrack without mentioning the Film itself, which inspired my purchase. It's my favourite film by a mile. Superbly cast and perfectly acted, a storyline that keeps my attention with some great dialogue, and some great tracks to accompany the action. I always feel happier for going on the journey that is "The Big Lebowski".

I honestly can't remember the first time I watched the film, but I remember the iconic images of the bowling alley The Dude and his buddies hang out at, and where so many of the scenes are shot, and that I was particularly taken by the music that accompanied the film. For me, the soundtrack mirrors the film in many respects, in that each piece of music is totally different, as with the characters in the film. I know that sounds pretty obvious but, for me, it's a case of the whole being far greater than the sum of its parts. And some parts!!

Bob Dylan kicks us of with "The Man In Me", past Elvis Costello via Captain Beefheart, onto Yma Sumac whose voice can span 4 octaves!! Nina Simone marks halfway with a song about the pain of love, some strange breathy stuff from Meredith Monk, then some beautiful tear-jerking (not me obviously) German opera, signaling its time for Lujon by Henry Mancini. I defy anyone not to be instantly whisked off to some southern French coast road, in an open top sports car on the way to a relaxed lunch, the warm breeze in your hair, by listening to this track......whatever you're doing now, go and find, and listen to that track. It's only about 2:35min long but really manages to take me on a trip every time; a real example of the power of music. Thank you Henry. Hotel California for the Eagles fans, is given a Spanish twist. Watch the film and hear what "The Dude" has to say about The Eagles when he's in the back of the cab! Then we're onto Townes Van Zandt with "Dead Flowers", which happened to be a very biographical song for him. God bless your soul Townes. How the film makers got to use the track is also a very interesting story . Watch the film first before finding out though.

The only disappointment is that they obviously couldn't get permission to put the Creedence Clearwater Revival track "Looking out my back door" onto the Soundtrack. I'm clearly not endorsing the smoking of pot, or drinking of beer whilst driving, but it is a great, memorable scene in the film. The Soundtrack album only covers about half of the music used in the film. Music is woven through most, if not all of the scenes, and even enjoyed by the characters as they are acting. You'll see what I mean when the Creedence track is played.

I relate to "The Dude" character in the movie in more respects than I would probably ever admit to. The dialogue is fantastic, I love the character John Goodman plays, and Steve Buscemi supports the other two beautifully. I'm trying not to say too much about the movie, as I'm lending my two copies out to members of our music club, and hope to convert more of you as fans and followers. Like I said when I introduced the Soundtrack on the night, there seems to be something for everyone on this, and something for every mood I find myself in; surely, a no finer endorsement for my favourite CD. Thank you for letting me play it for you all. The Dude Abides”.
