Robin Lane - Heart Connection EP - 1984

From a musical family (father Kenny Lane was Dean Martin's pianist and a writer of the standard "Everybody Loves Somebody"), Robin Lane's early bio includes a marriage to a pre-Police Andy Summers and vocals on "Round & Round" on Neil Young's Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere LP.

Moving east to Boston in the late 70's, she formed Robin Lane & the Chartbusters with former members of the Modern Lovers Asa Brebner and Leroy Radcliffe.  They signed to Warner Brothers, had early success with the single "When Things Go Wrong," but were dropped by the label after the second album stalled and Lane became a mother.  Lane kept working, producing the independently released EP "Heart Connection" in 1984. Never issued on CD, this is a rip from the vinyl.

The Beatles Strange Mixes

With the recent re-release of Sgt. Pepper I thought I'd post this. And since I mentioned Sgt. Pepper, I can't believe all the negativity I've been reading about good ol' Sergeant and the four lads. I'm seeing people discredit it and comparing the Fabs work to others, most noticeably The Beach Boys. I'll tell you this, to this day I still don't get "Pet Sounds." What am I missing? Sure, "Wouldn't It Be Nice, God Only Knows and Caroline No are the songs I would listen to again but other than that I think it's just endless doodling, with ideas not fleshed out. In this day and age anybody with a keyboard (this author included) can spout any amount of non-sense they want (just look at all of the nimrods who think the media is only on a witch hunt and agent orange has done nothing wrong). Also I love Van Morrison but Astral Weeks leaves me cold same for Harvest, Master Of Puppets, any Grateful Dead, Steely Dan, The Wall, Velvet Underground and Nico, Hotel California I know it's me, but for the most part, all of those that I've listed just don't get my toes a tappin'. That doesn't mean I haven't spent my hard earned money on everyone one of those I've just talked about. And some I own 2 or 3 copies of, be it imports, special editions, etc. How bout you? What is your list for albums that are considered to be, without them, you are a non-musical listening cretin. No Back Cover.

Super Groups Salute To The South - Sept. 5, 1981

In 1981, Super Groups came back with a new look for their syndicated radio shows.  Gone were the premium "boxed set" packages, audiophile sleeves, and premium paper inserts. The new look was like the King Biscuit product: a monochrome disc label, photocopied cue sheets, and cheap paper sleeves...and the similar look wasn't coincidental:  the shows were produced by D.I.R. Broadcasting Corp., also the producers of the King Biscuit shows.

It looks like they were etching a show number into the run-out groove that numbers the shows in a simple ascending numbering scheme.  If that's right, this is the second show in the new series (SG-002)

For this one, broadcast on a Saturday at the start of the Labor Day weekend, Super Groups adopted a "Southern Rock" theme for a "compilation show" with live spots from the Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Molly Hatchet, Outlaws/Henry Paul Band, Rossinton Collins, .38 Special, and the Johnny Van Zant Band.   Each group gets one to three songs per LP side, so this doesn't play like a real concert, but it's a good overview of the genre.

...and they wrap the whole thing up with a long version of "Freebird" (or "Free Bird").  If you were ending a Southern Rock smorgasbord, is their any other choice?

It's hosted by Pat St. John,  a Yankee D.J. who shows up hosting a lot of these syndicated shows..

 Unfortunately, there were no cue sheets with this one.  I've included a scan of a disc label.  The vinyl on Side A presented some challenges, but I put in a week of work and made it listenable.   Flac files of wavs!

Gotta a chance to see these guys once a long time ago.  Louder than fuck.  Even though they were still a year away from the massive success they would later achieve, they still played like their life depended on it even if there was only 50 people to see 'em. I always liked these guys.  See Scans

12th Annual Bammies - Feb. 25, 1989 - KFOG-FM

Here's most of the music from the 1989 Bammy Award show at the S.F. Civic, as broadcast by KFOG.  I edited out the talking.  This one is a diverse mix, ranging from the R&B of Tony! Toni! Toné! through Buck Owens Bakersfield sound (uh...that's not in the Bay Area!), to a big jazz-rock jam with Carlos Santana and Pharaoh Sanders.

If anyone knows the names of either of the Satriani instrumentals, could you be so kind as to leave a note in the Comments?

Todd Rundgren / Westwood One In Concert #89-18, The New Ritz, NYC, Aug. 1989

Okay, gang, here's the latest project.  I've been running slow as the needle on the turntable went kablooey and I had to track one down.  In the meanwhile I promised the boss I'd get an Aerosmith show done while he was on vacation and I was totally wrong, I end up finishing off the Todd Rundgren show instead.

Flac files of wavs!  You get a 300 dpi scan of the cue sheet and all four disc labels!  I found a snooty New York Times review of one of the two concerts and tossed that in, too!  I found a scan of a ticket for you!

THE ANNOUNCER:  Steve Downes, American disc jockey and voice actor...famous as the voice of MASTER CHIEF Petty Officer John-117 in the video game HALO.

THE COMMERCIALS:  Hey!  That's Toots & the Maytals doing a Budweiser commercial!  What a voice!

THE VENUE:  While announcer Steve Downes calls it "the Ritz in New York," this was recorded at the NEW RITZ, at 254 West 54th Street, New York City...the former site of STUDIO 54, the famous 1970's disco.  The Ritz was at 119 East 11th Street from 1980 to April 1989...three miles away from where this was recorded.

The revamped New Ritz opened on April 6, 1989, with a show by the Radiators. Capacity was about 3,000 seated and standing, roughly double that of the old Ritz.

THE RECORDING CREDITS:  First of all, Todd Rundgren actually mixed the show.  It's unusual for an artist to mix their own syndicated concert.

But take note of the recording engineer for Westwood One!  It was DALE PETERS, from the James Gang!
