Beards & Denim: Heavy Rock 68 to 79

This download is a selection of heavy rock from between 1968 & 1979. It was put together by The Loftmonkey in one of his more ‘rock’ moments and he's even included some notes & comments on each of the songs. There's some real classics on here as well as some lesser known songs so time to grow yourself a beard, get the denim on, stick your thumbs in your belt loops and start to rock.

DOWNLOAD THE BEARDS & DENIM COLLECTION

Here's the tracklisting (320kbps)...
01) Everything I Need - Tiger B. Smith (Germany 1972)

Power trio from Frankfurt heavy on riffs & hair but light on subtlety. Taken from their seminal debut produced by the legendary Dieter Dierks.

02) T.N.U.C. - Grand Funk Railroad (USA 1975)

Live offering from Detroit's finest. Unashamed crotch-thrusting, foot-on-the-monitors rock. For more on Grand Funk, consult your school library.

03) Ain't Gonna Take No More - Highway Robbery (USA 1972)

Obscure trio from their sole album. Nice wailing vocals.

04) Searching For A New Dimension - Mariani (USA 1970)

Even-more-obscure Texas power trio. From their 1970 unreleased acetate.

05) Hard Rain Fallin' - Sir Lord Baltimore (USA 1970)

Legendary New York trio rocking out. Taken from their debut album "Kingdom Come" famous for the fact that a 1971 review contained the first documented use of the term "heavy metal" to refer to a style of music.

06) Shot Down In Flames - AC/DC (Australia 1979)

From "Highway To Hell"...

07) Persecution - Third Power (USA 1968)

It seems that Detroit skipped psychedelia & went straight from garage rock to heavy rock (Stooges, MC5, Grand Funk etc.). In 1968 when most bands were folking themselves silly & putting flowers in things, bands like Third Power were turning their Marshalls up to 11 & rocking (as they say) out.

08) I'm A Man - The Yellow Payges (USA 1972)

LA heavy garage rock outfit with some wild psychedelic guitar shenanigans.

09) One Eyed Jacks With Moustaches - Slade (UK 1977)

The Black Country's finest rock out in the year of Punk. Kipper tie, Noddy?

10) Do It - Pink Fairies (UK 1971)

Debut release by freakrock/festival legends formed from the ashes of Mick Farren's Deviants.

11) White Lace & Strange - Thunder & Roses (USA 1968)

Philadelphia power trio from their sole album issued in 1968. This track was covered by Nirvana for a radio session in the late 1980's.

12) Brighton Rock - Queen (UK 1974)

Before they became awful, Queen could occasionally rock with the best of 'em as evidenced on this opening track to "Sheer Heart Attack". [Ernest's Note: This album was the first ever record I really wanted. Shame, as you say, they became shit.]

13) Summertime Blues - Blue Cheer (USA 1968)

The god-like genius of Blue Cheer's debut album "Vincebus Eruptum" should never be underplayed. Named after a brand of acid, the San Francisco trio's take on Eddie Cochrane's standard captures their style perfectly. Guitarist Leigh Stephens claimed in a 1980's interview that he hadn't actually taken acid... he was lying (as evidenced during the middle part of the song... “Snap out of it Leigh, ya trippin' fool!!!”).

14) It Couldn't Be Me - Power Of Zeus (USA 1970)

Back to Detroit again for a slice of heavy pysch from their sole release.

15) Angeline - Genesis [USA] (USA 1969)

One-off single release by US rockers Genesis who had nothing to do with Phil Collins (mercifully).

16) Bad Woman - Speed, Glue & Shinki (Japan 1972)

Thoroughly unhinged power trio from Japan who named themselves after their favourite drugs (apart from guitarist Shinki Chen who named himself after, um... himself). Taken from their self-titled second & final album.

17) Sweet Leaf - Black Sabbath (UK 1971)

How else to finish? All hail Black Sabbath. From their third album "Master Of Reality".

Sepultura - Best Of

Here's a best of collection from Brazilian rock gods, Sepultura. I hadn't listened to them for ages and then stuck this on and man, it's fucking great. The band was formed in 1994 and while basically being a metal band they're not just a straight-up metal band like Slayer (not that there's anything wrong with Slayer ;). The name is Portuguese for grave apparently... and how metal is that. Anyway this is a really good selection of tracks from them, including some of their more industrial / groove / nu metal tunes so if you like to rock then give this a listen.

Here & Now - Fantasy Shift/Been & Gone

Here & Now are an English space rock band formed in early 1974. They have close connections with the band Gong and in 1977/1978 worked with Gong's Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth under the name Planet Gong. The lineup changes at the end of the 70s caused a slight shift in the bands approach to their songs, moving from their more improvisational style to a more structured approach. This show was a farewell performance by the band recorded at Dingwalls in Camden on the 31st January 1986.

Even if this was a farewell show they're still going strong today and you can give them a listen at their myspace page.

Ernest's Adventures In Space

I had a dream about Hawkwind the other night (nothing sexual you'll be glad to hear) so I decided to put together a new collection/mix of space rock. Most of the tracks are fairly recent but there's some older stuff as well (Monkey 3, Porcupine Tree). Most of the songs aren't straight up space rock but they have more of a stoner'ish feel, think bands like 35007. It's all pretty cosmic though so I hope you enjoy it. I've mixed the tracks together and it should fit onto a blank CD.

SST Records - Blasting Concept Vol.II

SST Records were an American independent record label formed in 1978 in Long Beach, California by musician Greg Ginn. The company was initially called Solid State Transmitters through which Ginn sold electronics equipment. Ginn repurposed the company as a record label to release material by his band Black Flag. SST released many key albums that were instrumental in the development of American alternative rock, including releases by the Minutemen, Hüsker Dü, the Meat Puppets, Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. This is volume two of the two part series. I don't think this album is as good as volume one but it still has some excellent tracks on.

Harry Nilsson - The Point

I absolutely love this album so I'm gonna re-up it for you. I remember liking it as a kid and then when I was about eighteen some friends and I were at a jumble sale and there it was. It even had the original comic book with it (scans included with the download). Obviously my mate's took the piss out of me for getting so excited but after we dropped some acid and then listened to it they were converted. In fact, if it wasn't for LSD then the whole thing would never have existed. This is what Nilsson had to say about it...

"I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, 'Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's a point to it.'" [Harry Nilsson]

Basically The Point is a tale by musician and songwriter Harry Nilsson about a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in the Pointed Village, and his dog called Arrow. The story is told through both song and narration and is great listening for children as well as adults.

There was also an animated film version of The Point!. The TV version was originally narrated by Dustin Hoffman but because of contract issues the film release used Ringo Starr as the narrator. The version embedded below is with Dustin Hoffman and is available on video.google.com.

Blyth Power - A Little Touch Of Harry

UPDATE: I've re-ripped it from a different tape so the quality of this download is better. It's still from a 25 year old tape though :)

LATEST UPDATE: The Old Punk has given me some good news about this. Someone by the name of Paco has released a vinyl pressing of this classic. It's only £6 plus a bit for postage. It comes with a poster and a copy of the original booklet too. Get it here - La Vida Es En Mus.

A Little Touch Of Harry In The Night was the first release from Blyth Power. It was originally released on cassette in 1984 so the actual quality of the files is not exactly perfect.

Blyth Power are a British 'folk punk' band formed in 1983 by singer/drummer Joseph Porter, formerly of Zounds and The Mob.

Blyth Power's music shows strong influences from punk rock and folk music, and the band members have described their sound as a cross between The Clash, Steeleye Span and The Rubettes.

Most of the tracks were recorded on the 28th April 1979 at the Paris Theatre in London except for tracks 1 & 6 which are from the 4th December 1976 at the Paris Theatre.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Sky

This is a live show from Pink Floyd that was recorded on the 17th of February 1972. It's basically a live version of Dark Side Of The Moon from before the studio album was released. The good thing about this show is that the tracks are completely different from the ones that are on the studio album so it's refreshing to hear these other arrangements.

Paperhouse - A (1991 Cassette)

This is a copy of a tape by a band called Paperhouse which was released in 1991. I saw them live years ago and thought they were excellent so I bought a copy of their tape. Coming from somewhere in Surrey they play a psychedelic mix of dub-tinged space rock, very much in the same vein as early Ozric Tentacles and bands like that. The sound quality isn't perfect but considering it's taken from a 20 year old tape then it's not bad at all. The lineup of the band is Jake (Guitar), Andy (Bass), Phil (Drums) & Brian (Keyboards).

60s Proto-Punk/Psychedelia Collection

This is a collection of 60's proto-punk/garage rock songs mainly taken from the albums Nuggets and the Pebbles Series. Not all the tracks are really proto punk, things like Indian Rope Man are just classic 60s psychedelia... which is no bad thing.

The Pebbles series describes the recordings on their albums as "Original punk rock and psychedelic rock from the fabulous Sixties." These recordings were primarily made by the numerous American bands that were formed in the wake of the British Invasion. Essentially referring to the young age and lack of sophistication of the musicians, the term "punk rock" was coined (or at least popularized) by Lenny Kaye, who was involved in compiling the original Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968.

Krautrock Collection

This download is a selection of krautrock and 'trancerock'... but to be honest I'm not entirely sure what genre this should be. Basically most of these tracks are long and repetitive, hopefully causing a euphoric trance-like state rather than inducing a stroke or coma ;) It goes on for just under 80 minutes so it will fit onto a CD.

Krautrock is a generic name for the experimental music scene that appeared in Germany in the late 1960s and gained popularity throughout the 1970s, especially in Britain. BBC DJ John Peel in particular is largely credited with spreading the reputation of krautrock outside of the German-speaking world. The book Krautrocksampler by Julian Cope describes the underground music scene in Germany from 1968 through the 1970s and is well worth a read if you like this stuff.

Slayer - Undisputed Attitude

Undisputed Attitude is the seventh studio album by American thrash metal band Slayer. The album is mainly a collection of punk covers of bands like Minor Threat, T.S.O.L. & D.R.I.. Guitarist Jeff Hanneman used two of the four punk songs he had written in 1984 and 1985 as part of a side project called Pap Smear, while King and vocalist Tom Araya wrote an original song titled "Gemini". I've also included a few other cover songs that Slayer have done... and some of those are definitely worth hearing. In fact this is basically Slayer playing 'us-style' hardcore punk & it's fucking great ;)

Subhumans - 1981 Demo & Extras

Here's a download of a 3 track demo from 1981 by the UK punk band Subhumans along with some other Subhumans 'related' stuff.

Blues Brothers OST

First off let me wish you all a happy Christmas and New Year, hope you have a good time :) This download is the soundtrack of the Blues Brothers film. I was talking to the wife the other day and was claiming I didn't like musicals when she then proceeded to list off about 10 I do like (Blues Brothers, Quadrophenia, Tommy, Crossroads, Rocky Horror and more which I cant remember now) so I guess I do like some musicals. Anyway I'm starting to ramble now so basically this sound track is an absolute gem, chock full of excellent soul/blues. Nearly all the songs on it get you *ahem* shakin' ya ass... and the film is a good watch too. So download it and shake your tail feathers :)
