RESURRECTION is a 15-track release by the Beatle-influenced St. Louis band The Aerovons, featuring "World Of You," "With Her," and "Bessie Goodheart."
The dozen songs that would have been on the Aerovons' album had it come out (though a couple of the songs did come out on a 1969 single) form the core of this release, Resurrection,the U.K. bonus edition also tacks on four bonus tracks. The Aerovons' unusual story -- a band from the American Midwest recording in Abbey Road in 1969, led and produced by their 17-year-old singer-songwriter -- might be the main reason there was interest in excavating these sessions, but this CD is not a mere curio. It's quite respectable late-'60s Beatles-style pop/rock, if a little green around the edges and pretty derivative. In fact, in a couple of spots it's downright imitative, with "Say Georgia" taking licks from "Oh! Darling," and "Resurrection" itself lifting from "Across the Universe." (Neither of those songs had yet been released by the Beatles at the time of the sessions, but the group heard them by virtue of working in Abbey Road.) Fortunately, those are the only blatant cops, though Beatles comparisons abound throughout, particularly in the Paul McCartney-esque piano-playing. Songs like "With Her" and "The Years" recall the acoustic outings of both John Lennon and Paul McCartney on The White Album, while "Bessie Goodheart" uses McCartney's more vaudevillian Sgt. Pepper-era outings as an obvious launching pad, and "Something of Yours" brings to mind "Michelle." To this list you could also add the very Lennon-esque echo on the vocal of "The Children." The Aerovons leaned more toward wistful and sadness-tinged moods than the Beatles did, though. One of the best tracks, "World of You," brings out that quality very well, recalling the better late-'60s orchestrated Bee Gees opuses. The bonus tracks include both sides of a non-LP 1969 single ("The Train," their poppiest number, which echoes both the Hollies and the Bee Gees), the outtake "Here" (very much like McCartney's piano ballads), and a demo of "World of You." ~ Richie Unterberger

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Not bad for a bunch of kids!!
I liked a few of the tracks, especially World of You, She's Not Dead, The Train, Everything's Allright & Song for Jane. In fact I'd like to hear The Train on the radio!! I think it would be appropriate for this time. But that's my humble opinion! Later, Commodore X!

This is a 45 track, 2 disc compilation of Marc Bolan's entire career. If he were alive today, he could fill the post of headmaster at the celluloid School Of Rock. Iconic from head to toe, Bolan's glam image, on-stage theatrics and blistering pop songs helped soundtrack the first half of the 1970's and have inspired many ever since. Rarely less than vital, unlike most of his contemporaries he even harnessed respect from young punks, as the tastes of the decade mutated and his late 70's TV show 'Marc' became essential after school viewing. Children Of The Revolution celebrates the magnificence of the man. Features sleevenotes by former Blow Monkey Dr. Robert, who like Bolan, is no stranger to eye make-up, throwing shapes and the allure of a pink feather boa! Music Club. 2005.
With such an overabundance of T. Rex compilations out there, it's pretty darn hard for a newcomer fan to pick which set is the best as a primer/starting point. Well, with the 2006 double-disc Children of the Revolution: An Introduction to Marc Bolan, you've certainly come across one of the better ones -- but not quite definitive. While this impressively assembled ...
