Santana - Abraxas (1970) - Lp

Santana is an American Latin rock band formed in San Francisco, California in 1966 by Mexican-American guitarist Carlos Santana. The band first came to widespread public attention when their performance of "Soul Sacrifice" at Woodstock in 1969 provided a contrast to other acts on the bill.
In the years that followed, lineup changes were common.
Carlos Santana's increasing involvement with guru Sri Chinmoy took the band into more esoteric music, though never quite losing its initial Latin influence.

Abraxas is the second studio album. Building upon the interest generated by their first album released in August 1969 entitled Santana and their highly acclaimed live performance at the Woodstock Festival in August 1969, the band released Abraxas in September 1970.
The album's mix of rock, blues, jazz, salsa, and other influences was very well received, showing a musical maturation from their first album and refining the band's early sound.
The title of the album, which features Mati Klarwein's 1961 painting, Annunciation, on the cover, comes from a line in Hermann Hesse's book, Demian, quoted on the album's back cover: "We stood before it and began to freeze inside from the exertion. We questioned the painting, berated it, made love to it, prayed to it: We called it mother, called it whore and slut, called it our beloved, called it Abraxas...." The word "Abraxas" has use within Gnostic cosmology.


Abraxas features a mixture of Latin influences with familiar rock themes such as showcased electric guitar, organ, and heavy drums. The album also demonstrates Santana's stylistic versatility, including tracks such as "Samba Pa Ti" (a classic slow-burning piece) and "Incident at Neshabur", both being instrumentals. The latter has several rhythm and time signature changes consistent with its jazz feel. Latin percussion — congas, bongos and timbales, as well as a conventional rock drum setup, expanded Santana's foray into Latin rhythm.
The piece 'Samba Pa Ti' was originally recorded in the key of G, and is in fact two separate unfinished pieces which were combined to a single piece comprising a slow emotive first part followed by an extended play out in a faster tempo; This piece along with 'Black Magic Woman,' written by Peter Green, helped underpin the truly unique blend of Latin American / Blues / Rock style created by the artist.

The Cats - We Wish You A Merry Christmas (1975) - Lp

The Cats waren een popgroep uit Volendam. Ze bestonden van 1964 tot 1985, zij het met enkele onderbrekingen, en waren van 1968 tot 1975 een van de meest succesvolle bands van Nederland.
De bezetting bestond uit Cees Veerman, Piet Veerman, Arnold Mühren, Jaap Schilder, Theo Klouwer en (van 1972 tot 1975) Piet Keizer. Jan Buijs was vanaf de oprichting de manager.
Ze ontwikkelden een oorspronkelijk muziekgeluid dat de naam palingsound meekreeg.
Het kenmerkt zich door de dramatiek in de stem van Piet Veerman, de achtergrondzang van de andere leden, de composities van Arnold Mühren en het studiowerk van Klaas Leyen en Wim Jongbloed.
De stijl vond navolging bij veel andere Volendamse artiesten, zoals Maddog, Left Side, Next One en vanaf 1977 BZN.

We wish you a merry christmas is een muziekalbum van The Cats uit 1975.
Op het album staan meerdere nieuwe nummers van eigen hand, maar ook klassiekers zoals Silent night (Stille nacht) en White christmas. Ook staat een van de eerste nummers erop, Ave Maria no morro, dat The Cats nog in de tijd van Durlaphone uitbrachten. Verder werkten songwriters mee als Henny Vrienten (later bij Doe Maar) en Karel Hille (bekend van het weekblad Story).
Het album stond vier weken in de Albumlijst en behaalde nummer 22 als hoogste positie.

BZN - We Wish You A Merry Christmas (1981) - Lp

Uiterst succesvolle Volendamse groep, samen met plaatsgenoten The Cats de vaandeldragers van de zogeheten 'palingpop', die zich kenmerkt door een toegankelijke combinatie van Zuideuropese volksmuziek en gezellige meedeinpop. Hun constante stroom van albums wordt stuk voor stuk goud of platina.

We wish you a merry Christmas is het eerste kerstalbum van BZN. Het werd eerst op de toen nog gebruikelijke LP en MC uitgebracht, later ook op CD.

The Mamas & The Papas - The Papas & The Mamas (1968) - Lp

The Mamas & the Papas was an American folk rock vocal group that recorded and performed from 1965 to 1968, reuniting briefly in 1971. They released five studio albums and seventeen singles, six of which made the top ten, and sold close to 40 million records worldwide.
The group was composed of John Phillips (1935–2001), Denny Doherty (1940–2007), Cass Elliot (1941–1974), and Michelle Phillips née Gilliam (b. 1944).
Their sound was based on vocal harmonies arranged by John Phillips, the songwriter, musician, and leader of the group who adapted folk to the new beat style of the early sixties.
The group was formed by husband and wife John and Michelle Phillips, formerly of The New Journeymen, and Denny Doherty, formerly of The Mugwumps. Both of these earlier acts were folk groups active from 1964 to 1965.
The last member to join was Cass Elliot, Doherty's bandmate in The Mugwumps, who had to overcome John Phillips' concern that her voice was too low for his arrangements, that her physical appearance would be an obstacle to the band's success, and that her temperament was incompatible with his. The group considered calling itself The Magic Circle before switching to The Mamas and the Papas, apparently inspired by the Hells Angels, whose female associates were called "mamas".

The quartet spent the period from early spring to midsummer 1965 in the Virgin Islands "to rehearse and just put everything together", as John Phillips later recalled. Phillips acknowledged that he was reluctant to abandon folk music


The Papas & The Mamas is a 1968 album by The Mamas & the Papas. It was their fourth and final album together before the group temporarily broke up before a brief 1971 reunion.
Unlike previous studio-recorded albums, The Papas & The Mamas was recorded at the home of John and Michelle Phillips, although with the same production team as on previous albums.
With the exception of the very successful cover version of "Dream a Little Dream of Me" (which is not representative of the rest of the album), the album's subject matter is often downbeat and world-weary, most notably in the lyrical content of "Safe in My Garden", "Mansions", "Too Late" and "Rooms".
There are few love songs and it is also more experimental - the Hendrix-like guitar textures of "Gemini Childe" being one example.
All the material was new upon release with the exception of "Twelve Thirty", which had been released as a single in August 1967 as "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon)".
The track "Meditation Mama" featured the first lead vocal ever on a Mamas and the Papas track by John Phillips. All four members of the band contribute lead as well as backing vocals on this album.
The vocals for "For the Love of Ivy" reportedly took one month to record.
Although it was the first album from the group not to peak in the top ten, it was a commercial success upon its release, becoming the band's fourth and last top 20 album in America and producing two hit singles (one of which, "Dream a Little Dream of Me", would begin Cass Elliot's solo career).
This album is included in its entirety on All the Leaves Are Brown, a retrospective compilation of the band's first four albums and various singles.

Frankie Laine - High Noon (1971) - Lp

Frankie Laine (born Francesco Paolo LoVecchio; March 30, 1913 – February 6, 2007) was an American singer, songwriter, and actor whose career spanned 75 years, from his first concerts in 1930 with a marathon dance company to his final performance of "That's My Desire" in 2005.
Often billed as "America's Number One Song Stylist", his other nicknames include "Mr. Rhythm", "Old Leather Lungs", and "Mr. Steel Tonsils".
His hits included "That's My Desire", "That Lucky Old Sun", "Mule Train", "Cry of the Wild Goose", "A Woman In Love", "Jezebel", "High Noon", "I Believe", "Hey Joe!", "The Kid's Last Fight", "Cool Water", "Moonlight Gambler," "Love Is a Golden Ring," "Rawhide", and "Lord, You Gave Me a Mountain."
He sang well-known theme songs for many movie Western soundtracks, including 3:10 To Yuma, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, and Blazing Saddles, although he was not a country & western singer. Laine sang an eclectic variety of song styles and genres, stretching from big band crooning to pop, western-themed songs, gospel, rock, folk, jazz, and blues.

He did not sing the soundtrack song for High Noon, which was sung by Tex Ritter, but his own version (with somewhat altered lyrics, omitting the name of the antagonist, Frank Miller) was the one that became a bigger hit, nor did he sing the theme to another show he is commonly associated with—Champion the Wonder Horse (sung by Mike Stewart)—but released his own, subsequently more popular, version.
Laine's enduring popularity was illustrated in June 2011, when a TV-advertised compilation called Hits reached No. 16 on the British chart.
The accomplishment was achieved nearly 60 years after his debut on the UK chart, 64 years after his first major U.S. hit and four years after his death.

The Kinks - Golden Hour Of The Kinks (1971) - Lp

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, in 1963 by brothers Dave and Ray Davies.
They are regarded as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era.
The band emerged in 1964 during the height of British rhythm and blues and Merseybeat, and were briefly part of the British Invasion of the US until their touring ban in 1965.

The selection is just perfect and I guess I will just have to recreate it on my iPod! I had only heard some of the mid-70's Kinks (Schoolboys, Sleepwalker, Preservation Act 1) at the time I got this record, and once I heard Golden Hour, I really knew why the Kinks were among the immortal British bands--and why Ray Davies was the songwriting equal of Lennon/McCartney, Townsend, Jagger/Richards, etc. Although you will love EVERY song on Golden Hour,

I encourage you to get the original albums from which these gems are harvested: Face to Face, Something Else, Lola Powerman & Apeman vs. the Money-go-Round, Village Green Preservation Society, Arthur and a few other early ones.
In particular, Lola, Face to Face and VGPS are among the best records made by any band--EVER; that is, if you like melodic, poetic, wry pop-rock that can range from gentle ballad to edgy garage.
They have all been reissued on terrific great-spounding remastered versions with some incredible extra tracks. But--Golden Hour is a tremendous introduction to the roots of the Kinks, starting with You Really Got Me and going through Days, say 1964-1970, and the selection and sequencing of the songs is truly artful.

Jan & Dean - The Jan & Dean Story (1979) - Lp

Jan and Dean were an American rock duo consisting of William Jan Berry (April 3, 1941 – March 26, 2004) and Dean Ormsby Torrence (born March 10, 1940).
In the early 1960s, they were pioneers of the California Sound and vocal surf music styles popularized by the Beach Boys.

Jan and Dean reached their commercial peak in 1963 and 1964, after they met Brian Wilson. The duo scored an impressive sixteen Top 40 hits on the Billboard and Cash Box magazine charts, with a total of twenty-six chart hits over an eight-year period (1958–1966). Jan and Brian Wilson collaborated on roughly a dozen hits and album cuts for Jan and Dean, including the number one national hit "Surf City", written by Brian Wilson, in 1963. Subsequent top 10 hits included "Drag City" (1964), the eerily portentous "Dead Man's Curve" (1964), and "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena" (1964).

In the early sixties, innumerable recording artists helped spread the “surf sound”: however only two groups from this genre have stood the musical test of time – The Beach Boys and Jan & Dean. Throughout the sixties, Jan & Dean were always close second to The Beach Boysin popularity, yet there was no rivalry between these two bands as they often sang on each other´s records and even swapped tunes.Jan Berry and Dean Torrence met at Emmerson Jr. High School in West Lost Angeles.
They became close friends in their senior year at University High where they both made the varsity football team and happened to get team lockers next to each other. In the shower room, with its natural echo chamber, Jan, Dean and a few other friends began working out vocal harmonies to the hits of the day. After football season ended, the boys decided to form a group together called The Barons. They got their first break singing at their schoolk assembly, the group soon broke up due to other interests, leaving only Jan & Dean.
After teaming up with Lou Adler and Herb Alpert, Jan & Dean hit with “Baby Talk”, “There´s A Girl”, “Clementine”, “We Got Together” and “Gee” for Dore Records and “Hearts  and Soul” for Challenge Records.
As they weren´t given a very large recording budget to work with, they had to do all the background singing themselves with Dean singing the lead in a high falsetto. Since Jan & Dean were doing a lot of hops with The Beach Boys into helping them out in the studio by cutting the instrumental tracks for their records and adding some vocal parts. In fact, it was in the studio where Brian Wilson gave the duo the composition “Surf City”, which became Jan & Dean´s only number one record. After “Surf City” they hit again with “Drag City” “Littgle Deuce Coupe” and “Dead Man´s Curce”. “The Little Old Lady From Pasadena” was their next top-tenner and was written about a real little old lady who was doing local Dodge TV commercials. Their next single was “Ride The Wild Surf”, the title tune of the movie of the same name that were supposed to star in along with Fabian.Undauted, Jan & Dean made a lot of appearances on TV, including the Ed Sullivan Show and Dick Clark´s American Bandstand.
In April 1966, Jan totalled his corvette on Whittier Blvd, and was so damaged physically and mentally that he almost died, in fact, he was totally paralysed for over a year. Dean tried to continue on his own, but soon gave it up for a new vacation – designing album covers for his own company, Kittyhawk Grapics. After Jan recovered most of his coordination, he recorded a few singles with his first producer Lou Adler which went nowhere. The duo attempted one comeback at a Surfer´s Stomp Reunion in 1973, but the result was disappointing.
In 1977 Dean decided to once again return xto the recording studio. Slight nostalgia crept in here when Dean,coupled with some of his close friends from the past (utilizing today´s sophisticated recording equipment) decided to recut 10 of the most memorable songs Jan and he sung together in the early 60´s. We´re pleased that these 10 songs from Side A of his album.
Perhaps the reason that Jan & Dean´s music is still enjoyable to listen to is that, in addition to their vocal prowess, they always added a sense of humor to their topical tunes. The liner notes on their “Command Performances” album called them “The Laurel and Hardy of the Surf Crowd”, and it is their satirical sense as well as their musicianship that makes their tunes transcend the times.

Janis Ian - Stars (1974) - Lp

After a three-year (1971-1974) hiatus, singer/songwriter Janis Ian (guitar/vocals) reinvented her craft on the groundbreaking Stars (1974) long-player.
Her penchant for hauntingly beautiful melodies and incisive lyrics remains at the center of Ian's craft as she weaves an array of uniquely expressive observations with timeless poignancy.
She has publicly acknowledged that the introspective title track that opens the album was inspired by Don McLean's "Vincent." Ian's reflections are almost naked in their intimacy as she looks within the psyche of celebrity and draws comparisons between the respective astral and physical bodies that "Stars" inhabit, albeit briefly in either case.
The song's sparse acoustic guitar self-accompaniment is somewhat an anomaly as the remainder of the album incorporates various backing combos.
The cosy and laid-back "Page Nine" demonstrates a jazzier side to Ian's arrangements and features some inviting contributions from percussion legend and studio heavyweight George Devens (vibraphone), who had been performing in Ian's studio coterie since her second release, For All the Seasons of Your Mind (1967). "The Man You Are in Me" is instrumentally highlighted by Richard Davis (bass), who impels the rhythm and provides Ian with a sonic backdrop beguiling the listener into its practically hypnotic melody.

There is also a fair share of folk-infused material, ranging from the easygoing and heartfelt peon "Thankyous" to the decidedly more political and strident "Dance with Me" -- which deals fairly directly with the Vietnam experience. Perhaps the best-known cut on Stars also obliquely references the war and is considered the disc's crown jewel. "Jessie" is a riveting love song that is as beautiful as it is soul-wrenchingly poignant. The delicate understated score only adds to the composition's empathy.
"Applause" fittingly concludes the effort in a Broadway-esque fashion with a grandiose production reminiscent of something out of Cabaret or A Chorus Line.
The understated and comparatively reticent middle section is dramatically bookended with an otherwise embellished and knowingly campy arrangement. Stars set the stage for Ian to further develop her mature and meditative themes utilizing a wide variety of musical styles -- a hallmark that separated her from her weepy and otherwise introspective peers.

Youp Van ‘T Hek - Eerste Officiële Echtscheiding (1983) - Lp

Joseph Jacobus Maria (Youp) van 't Hek (Naarden, 28 februari 1954) is een Nederlands cabaretier.

Een van Neerlands meest populaire grappenmakers. Verrijkt de taal met de termen als huppelkut en sleurhut en is in zijn eentje verantwoordelijk voor de ondergang van het biermerk Buckler. 

Verkoopt bijzonder veel boeken en cd's, waarop hij ook liedjes zingt.

Zijn roepnaam was aanvankelijk "Joep", maar in 1973 maakte hij er "Youp" van, nadat een vriendin de letter P toevoegde aan de woorden op een T-shirt "We help you". Sindsdien schrijft hij zijn naam nooit meer anders. In dat najaar richtte hij Cabaret NAR op, samen met Debby Petter (toen nog vriendin, nu zijn vrouw) en Daan van Straaten.

In het begin speelde NAR vooral in buurthuizen, jeugdsociëteiten of zelfgehuurde zaaltjes.
De samenstelling wisselde, maar Van 't Hek was een constante factor. Vanaf het vijfde programma (1977) kreeg NAR enige bekendheid.

Van 't Hek krijgt een Edison voor het album uit 1983 "De Eerste Officiele Echtscheidings CD".
 Bovendien maakt hij in het theater zijn solo-debuut met Verlopen En Verlaten.

Seth Gaaikema - Dat Typisch Hollands Vingertje (1976) - Lp

Seth Regner Gaaikema (Uithuizen, 11 juli 1939's-Hertogenbosch, 21 oktober 2014) was een Nederlands cabaretier, musicalschrijver en vertaler.

Gaaikema werd geboren als zoon van twee doopsgezinde predikanten. Zijn grootvader van moederskant was Armeniër. Na een studie Nederlandse Taal- en Letterkunde, waarin hij de doctorandustitel behaalde, begon hij teksten te schrijven, onder meer voor Wim Kan. Zijn eerste eigen optreden als cabaretier was in 1967.
Aanvankelijk trad hij op met een gezelschap, later maakte hij solo-voorstellingen.

"Dat Typisch Hollands Vingertje" is live opgenomen in o.a. de Stadsschouwburg te Haarlem, 1976. Met dank aan Simone de Waard en Joan Thierry voor het aandragen van ideeen en Jan Swinkels voor foto´s en hoesontwerp.

"Aan de ene kant zou ik twee dingen willen zeggen".
Maar de wisselvalligheid van dit kabinet ,,aan de ene kant´´ en ,,anderzijds´´ het tijdsbeeld van 1976, dat uit sommige liedjes spreekt, hebben me er toe gebracht nu al een paar seizoengebonden bloemen uit het programma ,,Familie Willekeur´´ voor u te plukken.
Een klein herfstboeket teksten, onder de titel ,,Dat Typisch Hollands Vingertje´´.
Dat schoolmeesterachtige Hollands vingertje, dat zo parmantig en pretentieus omhoog kan gaan en zo met klem in bepaalde richting kan wijzen als een Nederlander de ander van z´n gelijk wil overtuigen.
Dat typisch bedillerige Hollands vingertje: misschien wel overgenomen van drie eeuwen predikanten-wie zal ´t zeggen.

Jane Froman - With A Song In My Heart (1952) - Lp

Jane Froman (November 10, 1907 – April 22, 1980) was an American singer and actress. During her thirty-year career, Froman performed on stage, radio and television despite chronic injuries that she sustained from a 1943 plane crash.

Her life story was told in the 1952 film With a Song in My Heart. She was portrayed by Susan Hayward, who was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Froman.

Froman's life story was the subject of the movie With a Song in My Heart (1952), starring Susan Hayward as Froman. Froman was deeply involved in the film's production: she supplied Hayward’s singing voice and served as the film's technical advisor.
The Capitol album of songs from the movie was the number one best-selling album of 1952 and remained in the catalogue for many years. DRG recently re-issued the album on a compact disc along with the 1952 revival cast album of Pal Joey, in which Froman sang the role made famous by Vivienne Segal, Vera Simpson.

 From 1952-1955 Jane starred on CBS-TV. Her first program, USA Canteen, had servicemen in the audience. The program was renamed The Jane Froman Show and the format was changed to a twice weekly 15 minute program on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

After the show was canceled in 1956, Froman appeared on various programs for the next few years. She also appeared on stage in Las Vegas.

It is Regal´s privilege to bring to you this exclusive album of hit songs in the dramatic and colourful 20th Century Fox motion picture soundtrack of her life "WITH A SONG IN MY HEART".

John Denver - Autograph (1980) - Lp

Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr. (December 31, 1943 – October 12, 1997), known professionally as John Denver, was an American musician, singer-songwriter, record producer, activist, actor and humanitarian, whose greatest commercial success was as a solo singer, starting in the 1970s.
He was one of the most popular acoustic artists of the decade and one of its best-selling artists.

By 1974, he was firmly established as America's best-selling performer, and AllMusic has described Denver as "among the most beloved entertainers of his era". After traveling and living in numerous locations while growing up in his military family, Denver began his music career in folk music groups in the late 1960s. Throughout his life, Denver recorded and released approximately 300 songs, about 200 of which he composed, with total sales of over 33 million.

He recorded and performed primarily with an acoustic guitar and sang about his joy in nature, his enthusiasm for music, and his relationship trials. Denver's music appeared on a variety of charts, including country music, the Billboard Hot 100, and adult contemporary, in all earning him twelve gold and four platinum albums with his signature songs "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "Annie's Song", "Rocky Mountain High", "Thank God I'm a Country Boy", and "Sunshine on My Shoulders".

Autograph is the 14th album by American singer-songwriter John Denver released in February 1980.
John Denver's music has always expressed themes of peace, harmony, and nature, and there is yet another dose of this spirit right here for those who love him. Imagine John Denver, the ever-so charismatic, message-bearing singer/songwriter/prophet, delivering songs with a high-intensity group of fellow musicians. It is here, during the recording sessions of Autograph, that Denver pulls out his magic, singing joyous mountain-music jams and sweet, teary-eyed ballads with his backup group, his friends the Sharks. Johnny and the Sharks come through here with grace and pizzazz, delivering messages of laughter, hope, and wisdom through strong folk storytelling.

The opening of the record sustains with rich color and enchantment, attached to a wistful, lighthearted jam. "Dancing With the Mountains" is certainly danceable, as much as "In My Heart" is smooth and easygoing, ready for the slow-dance scene. "The Ballad of St. Anne's Reel" is filled with texture, percussive wittiness, and vibrant, long-lasting jamming.
The Sharks and Denver go airborne during this tune, appearing to soar to higher heights with eagles in cobalt mountain skies. Denver's merry charisma shines through with delightful resonance during his yodeling and singing in "Wrangell Mountain Song," a song about how "time goes by so slowly": a song about the excitement of anticipation. Dashing further away from Denver's pop-folk rock ballad formula is the hauntingly beautiful tune "Whalebones and Crosses," a charming, prophetic statement of grief, gratitude, and compassion for those sailors and loved ones, those fallen fathers lost to the perils of sea. "American Child" rings clear with visions of the icy blue seas of Alaska, and the adventurous trek of a child to pursue his dreams, to find a sense of solitude and fulfillment.
The land of the midnight sun soon unfolds into the following tune of deep lyrical sentiment, "You May Say the Battle Is Over." "Most men are ruthless, but some will still weep when the gifts we were given are gone," is a strong statement of a melody that carries themes of peace, and of those who wish and pray, "let the war be over." Autograph is a genuine and sentimental statement displaying the strong and crafty songwriting of John Denver.

Denver was an avid pilot and died in a single-fatality crash of his personal experimental aircraft at the age of 53.
