| | Vanilla Fudge Renaissance/Near The Beginning CD - Import Vanilla Fudge Discography of CDs
2008 two CD set featuring the first two albums from this Heavy Rock outfit. Formed in New York in 1966 and signed to Atlantic's subsidiary Atco, Vanilla Fudge invented Heavy Rock. With a line-up of organ, guitar, bass and drums, they took existing Pop songs (and on later albums, Folk songs, classical music and their own compositions) and gave them extended, slowed-down, organ-drenched arrangements, which were an instant chart success with the burgeoning albums market. This release contains their third and fourth albums, originally issued in July 1968 and March 1969, both of which reached the Top 20. Renaissance contains the band's own compositions alongside their interpretation of Donovan's 'Season Of The Witch', another hit single. Near The Beginning features only four tracks, amongst which is the Fudge's seven-and-a-half minute reworking of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's classic 'Some Velvet Morning'. Edsel.
This two-fer from Edsel features a pair of albums by Vanilla Fudge: Renaissance and Near the Beginning, originally issued on Atco in 1968 and 1969. These two albums aren't representative of the band at their best and can only be recommended to collectors. Casual listeners should stick with Psychedelic Sundae: The Best of Vanilla Fudge on Rhino. ~ Al Campbell

| | Killing Floor CD (1995) (Import) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak; Germany
Renaissance/Near The Beginning
$25.39
The sheer toughness -- and overall derivative -- nature of Killing Floor's debut album, issued six months after Led Zeppelin's debut in 1969 on the Spark label, is a wondrous contrast to the overly slick treatment American blues were given by British artists. All of these tunes, with the exception of one, are revamped versions of songs from the blues canon with different words. The lone "cover" in the set was written by Willie Dixon titled "Woman You Need ...
| | Danny Kirwan Second Chapter CD (1975) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak
Renaissance/Near The Beginning
$19.79 
The first solo album from Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter Daniel David Kirwan has the future producer for Human League and Buzzcocks, Martin Rushent, utilizing those skills here, as well as engineering. The sound is crystal clear, and a feather in the cap for Rushent as well as Kirwan. It starts off with an uncharacteristic "Ram Jam City," which has more Lindsey Buckingham sounds than one would expect, especially since the two guitarists come from two different musical worlds. "Odds and Ends" is more lighthearted, the kind of music Paul McCartney toyed with ...
| | Legend CD (2007) (Import) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak; Germany
Renaissance/Near The Beginning
$25.69
In some circles, Mickey Jupp is something of a minor legend, a roots rocker with excellent taste and a cutting wit, best heard on the songs "Switchboard Susan" and "You'll Never Get Me Up in One of Those," both covered by Nick Lowe. Basher's endorsement is a clear indication that Jupp is a pub rocker, a guy who specializes in laid-back good times, so it shouldn't come as a great surprise that his first band, Legend, was proto-pub, an unabashed celebration of old-time rock & roll, filled with three-chord Chuck Berry rockers and doo wop backing vocals. Nevertheless, listening to their 1970 LP is ...

| | Madeline Bell Doin' Things CD (1968) (Import) United Kingdom
Renaissance/Near The Beginning
$18.09
Known for her smooth and memorable voice, British singer Madeline Bell is represetned across 18 tracks on DOIN' THINGS, first released during the 1960s.
Madeline Bell's final '60s album was, like her first (1967's Bell's a Poppin'), made in Britain under the production supervision of John Franz. And, like its predecessor, it unsurprisingly bore some resemblance to Dusty Springfield's late-'60s work, both because Franz also worked with Springfield, and because Bell sang backup vocals on Springfield records. To stretch the comparison even further, Bell had a style similar to Springfield's (especially in her slight vibratos at the end of phrases), as well as a similar bent for varied soul-pop material. The overall impression was something of a Springfield ...

| | Adrian Bourgeois CD (2008)
Renaissance/Near The Beginning
$15.19
The world is watching Adrian Bourgeois! Okay maybe not the whole world (that’d be kind of creepy), but probably Big Brother and at very least a good handful of local entertainment rags, powerpop blogspots, and online independent music reviewers; in short, that small elusive world in which buzzes are born. And they all seem to be saying the same thing. “There’s no doubt he’s a young artist poised for pop greatness,” reads this year’s International Pop Overthrow West Coast Guide, “Definitely one to watch!” “I can’t wait to see what’s next,” gushes an album review on the blog Powerpopaholic and Sacramento music magazine Submerge agrees that, “The future is bright indeed for this pop star in waiting.” Jackson Griffith of the Sacramento News and Review even makes the prediction that “One day in the not-too-distant future, Adrian Bourgeois will be an influential force in pop music.” The common message: The whole world is not watching Adrian Bourgeois….but maybe they should be! Perhaps this is all boilerplate talk, the type of thing that is written about an artist that is superfluous enough to make him sound good but not specific enough to commit to any type of serious interest. Not so in the case of Adrian Bourgeois who may not be old enough to remember when Ronald Regan was president but takes his main musical inspiration from the era of Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon and who recently finished his first year of college ...
