    Wow – that link to the milesmiles list contains some pretty important information. The post is from trumpet player Michael McLaughlin, who taped this show and said it was “one of the best things I ever saw in my life.” But McLaughlin says also that he ran into Palle Danielsson a few years later with another band:

    “I asked Palle if he remembered that night in Minnesota. His eyes lit up and he said, that was the best gig we ever did! It was fantastic! I carry a copy of it with me everywhere. And he reached into his backpack and pulled out a cassette of it. He said probably half of the concert was improvised, he said they just went for it.”

    So not only does Danielsson agree this was their finest hour, but he actually had a recording of it – presumably one of better province than Michael’s audience recording. Who knows, maybe that version will be an ECM “archival” release one day….

    Sadly, I also learned that McLaughlin passed away earlier this year.

    Thanks for all the information from that discussion.

    We’re ultra lucky to have secured some copies of The Wooden Shjips / The Heads tour split 7″Ltd to 500 copies this will disappear fast so pay attention… I present the 7″ vinyl to the turntable bowed on one knee like its some sacred offering… The needle hits the wax and my vision turns into trails of psychedelic colours, Phil has transformed into a hedgehog and brett has breasts. This live recording of ‘Handlar Med Jonesie’ is some trippy psyche rock…. OOOOOOOOooooohhh and then it kicks in with an amp blowing scorcher of a riff and blistering guitar noise devastating everything in its path, an incredibly powerful sound. A swirling metallic force has lifted me into the air and I’m floating above my body. Oh fuck not another bald spot…Man this is fantastic… I’m gonna have to change my pants and I haven’t even played the Wooden Shjips side yet…. Here we go, everyone’s favourite rockers with a live tune . I read once that they’d not been influenced or heard much by The Doors which is amazing as they really have that 70’s sound going. ‘Death’s Not Your Friend’ appears here in the form of a live version recorded April 23rd 2008. You can imagine all the stoners and acid freaks that attended that show. I bet there were naked flower eating people and all sorts… So this is very classic rock sounding and actually a catchy little number. They have two sides to them sometimes they can be weird but this is their more accessible side albeit still all trippy and analogue sounding. Both sides are top notch but the Heads just pip it for me.

    Well, Annie and Dave. Nuff said. I had to check date and location on db.etree.org because the cover had absolutely no
    info about it. Have some fun.

    This is Part 3 of 13 from the rips I did from the Silvers I was allowed to borrow from the now closed store I spent the last
    12 years as a customer and employee. I ripped and encoded them in an overnight session the night before it closed, about 30
    Silvers, and the more interesting (or obscure) I wanted to share with my fellows on TTD and Zomb. One for every year since
    1995. Hope you´ll enjoy that.

    26 Turkish Beat, Psych & Garage Delights: rarities from beyond the Sea of Mamara (also called Turkish Delights) is a compilation of Turkish rock groups from the 1960s and 70s. The album highlights the early and classic 1966-77 rock periods in Turkey, including giants such as Mavi Is,iklar, Erkin Koray, and Mog(ollar. Informed by the music coming out of Britain and the United States, the fourteen bands in this collection run the gamut from early beat sounds of garage bands to mid-seventies psychedelic explorations, simultaniously infusing the music with a distinctively Turkish sound.

    In the mid-1960s, the British invasion led by generals John, Paul, George, and Ringo and supported by units such as the Who, the Kinks, the Rolling Stones and the Yardbirds swept across the United States and Europe, forever altering the static-dusted sounds coming from the radio. It wasn’t long before young people all over the world were plugging in amps, setting up drums, cracking cases of beer and crunching out imitations of their favorite rock 45s. Most of these groups were, perhaps fortunately, lost to time, never amounting to anything more than a handful of misspent afternoons and adolescent laughs. Even so, there are countless examples of recordings available to the scholarly, curious, or just plain demented. The United States and Europe boast an impressive number of specialty stores, magazines, and conventions devoted to the quest for finding that one obscure gem, the recording that time forgot. Over the last decade the seemingly bottomless well of obscure U.S. and British bands began to dry up, forcing the now junkie-like record collectors to turn elsewhere for their fix.

    If it were mapped on a globe, the widely accepted history of rock and roll would appear to bounce back and forth between Britain and the U.S. Contrary to conventional wisdom, however, varieties of rock spilled over into any region that had transistor radios and sullen youth with too much time on their hands. Starting with the release of the now infamous Cambodian Rocks album over a decade ago, European and American collectors have plumbed the relatively uncharted depths of garage and psychedelic rock from around the world. The curious can listen, among countless others, to rave-ups by Japanese, Greek, Indian, Korean, Italian, French, Peruvian, or Brazilian bands. Turkish Delights is just one installment in a long line of 1960s re-releases from around the globe.

    One of the greatest impediments to the total global domination of rock and roll was language. The young and curious in non-anglophone regions were often put off by their inability to decipher the frequently slurred and confusing lyrics of rock and roll. Such was the case in Turkey, which, although it had a small rock contingent in the 1950s, did not truly jump on the bandwagon until a decade later. Early on, the interest in Euro-American popular music was fueled in Turkey primarily by instrumental bands such as the Ventures or the Shadows. Then the Beatles broke and, as happened in many popular music scenes around the world, everything changed.

    No matter the era, most novice rock bands (and some more experienced groups) have participated in the time-honored tradition of copying hit songs, and the garage, beat and psych bands in Turkey were no exception. Turkish Delights includes several covers of early rock songs, ranging from SelÁuk Alagˆzís Turkish reworking of a tune by the Israeli group The Cedars (Track 18) to renditions of tunes by more well-known European acts such as the Atwoods or Shocking Blue (Istanbul Erkek Lisesiís "In the Deepings," Track 4, and Mavi Is,iklarís ìAsk «iÁeg (Track 11), to songs by large top-forty and super-groups like the Yardbirds (I.zmar ÷zel Kars,iyaka Lisesiís "Over Under Sideways Down," (Track 8) or Paul Revere and the Raiders (Mavi Is,iklarís "The Great Airplane Strike of 1967."

    This is ultra rare stuff folks, enjoy!

    Nigeria Rock Special shines a light on the flipside to the well-documented sounds of Highlife and Afrobeat coming out of Nigeria in the 1970s – young bands caught up in the wave of Psychedelic & Progressive Rock that was sweeping Europe and the States in the late 60s and early 70s.

    In the early 1970s the sound of Jimi Hendrix & bands like Santana had started to seep into the mainly soul ûbased sets of a handful of young bands playing western influenced pop.

    Spurred on by Cream drummer Ginger Baker’s visitsto Lagos and his band Airforce (featuring many Nigerian musicians), the sound of fuzzed out Rockreverberated around the Universities and nightspots of Lagos and Ibadan. The craze that followed hit the youth & student population of Nigeria hard – mixing fuzz-guitar & heavy African rhythms with elements of Led Zeppelin, Traffic & The Chambers Brothers.

    Featuring tracks from cult bands like Mono Mono, Ofege, The Action 13, The Elcados and Tunji Oyelana amongst many others, this album contains 15 of the best cuts from the scene, available for the first time in 30 years.
