Juke Jules SUBS 5th Apr 2021		CD Album Chris Rea - Blue Guitars	Well, I'd change this to EarBooks, Europe, and while you're at it, Universal Music Earbooks should be just EarBooks, Europe regardless of whether they are owned by Edsel or Universal Music, they are all large sets "with a hard-back book, 28.5cm × 28.5cm with approximately 100 pages of..."
Juke Jules SUBS 5th Apr 2021		CD Album Liz Phair - Exile In Guyville	Girls! Girls! Girls! is a track Liz first recorded when she was making solo cassette tapes under the name Girly Sound. Here she is again solo, without the studio musicians she uses on most tracks [YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 1st Apr 2021		Vinyl Album Llwybr Llaethog v. Tŷ Gwydr - MC D.R.E..	Track B4 is obviously "Believe In Living-Dub"
Juke Jules SUBS 30th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album London Philharmonic Orchestra - The Gates Of Greenham	The gates of the airbase have been used as a metaphor for the Stations of the Cross One of only a few releases* on the Sain label which is not in the Welsh language; many of the contributors are Welsh-speaking, and Sain has a long history of political protest *There were a few singles in English
Juke Jules SUBS 30th Mar 2021		78 RPM Conny Froboess - Die Kleine mit der Mundharmonika / Lausbub	Interesting that she is called Conny Froboess here. At this time she had releases on 45s under the name Die kleine Cornelia These two titles were on separate 45s, Pony Serenade and Lausbub
Juke Jules SUBS 25th Mar 2021		CD Single MGMT - Time To Pretend	[YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 24th Mar 2021		78 RPM Mr. Macdonough - I've A Longing In My Heart For You, Louise	Thank you Mike. This is hard to explain and one can only speculate. The disc may be cracked in half, but it would have to be a very accurate half or the asymmetry would stand out like a sore thumb: I guess 49/51% would be noticeable. A felicitously accurate crack, playing at the correct and un-speeded rate is the only possible explanation here. Some 'Tubers add noises just to try and convince the gullible, but the clicks here seem genuine and vary in timbre steadily from start to finish, and also this contributor does not add effects as far as I can see. Pity he never shows what he is playing the records on, indeed some of his videos never actually show the purported record, just others by the artist, with posters and publicity shots.
Juke Jules SUBS 24th Mar 2021		78 RPM Campbell And Burr - Summer Moon / Liberty Bell And National Fencibles Marches	Albert Campbell sings solo on Summer Moon. The video shows the label for about 3 seconds [YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 24th Mar 2021		78 RPM Mr. Macdonough - I've A Longing In My Heart For You, Louise	[YouTube Video] What speed would this be? The record appears to be broken or badly scratched, and clicks at 120 / minute

Juke Jules SUBS 19th Dec 2020		CD Album Jacob Collier - In My Room	Review Collier's first album was recorded, arranged, performed and produced in the small back room of his family home in Finchley, so the Beach Boys song had to be the title track of the album. Quote: "In My Room is the 2016 debut album of crackerjack arranger, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and Internet sensation Jacob Collier. Collier began uploading videos of multi-track solo performances -- often presented in a grid layout so that each vocal and instrumental take was visible -- as a 17-year-old in 2011. These performances, some of which approximate complex group a cappella, evolved over time to use a vocal harmonizer, part of the multi-media set-up he developed with MIT's Media Lab to enable solo, multi-track live performance. A key component of his sound, the device allows him to sing a pitch into a microphone and get simultaneous vocal harmony as dictated by the chords he plays on a keyboard, all on the fly. Fans of his videos will recognize his hyper a cappella take on the theme to The Flintstones that's included here. While Collier's done video renditions of "Isn't She Lovely" and "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing," Stevie Wonder is represented on the LP by a reverential, well-harmonized version of "You and I." Another cover is the title track, a likewise respectful version of the Beach Boys classic. "In My Room" is highlighted by an elegant jazz piano solo -- Collier's principal instrument -- though its persistent fluttering bassline may draw the most attention. Speaking of bass, funk is, perhaps surprisingly, a defining element of the album. The opener, "Woke Up Today," is a wildly funky kind of make-or-break track, especially for first-time listeners. It plays like a frenetic tour of Collier's music room and a demo of his studio skills. In general, the technical prowess on display on In My Room is impressive. However, listeners will find something more organic in nature in "Hideaway," an atmospheric wash of acoustic guitar and related stringed instruments, along with an udu-type drum and acoustic percussion, accordion, and, at its center, a refreshingly intimate, single vocal line. With Collier still a student at the Royal Academy of Music during the album's creation, one can only imagine what the young musical polymath's potential may hold in store. For now he now has, at the very least, a dazzling production reel of a debut..." [YouTube Video] 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Juke Jules SUBS 15th Dec 2020		78 RPM Johnny Hamp's Kentucky Serenaders - C-O-N-S-T-A-N-T-I-N-O-P-L-E / You're A Real Sweetheart	[YouTube Video]

Juke Jules SUBS 28th Nov 2020		CD Album Various Artists - Original Brit Pop	Review This is a strange album, not least because while none of the tracks are original 'hit' versions there are no details of where and when they were recorded. Some are live recordings, mostly in the later age of the artists, some seem to be by 'tribute' bands who have bought the rights to work under the name of the bands who had the hits. It starts with "Eric Burdon And The Animals" playing Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, and my natural instinct was to skip this old blues number as we know it so well with Alan Price on Hammond and Eric Burdon on fuzz guitar, but I got a surprise: it starts quietly with an etherial piano part, leaving you wondering who is the accomplished pianist. A hint of strings (synth) joins in, the pace remains very slow, and Burdon eventually joins in as a duet with the piano, singing as if struggling with his emotions. Then in comes the Hammond, joined by the drums. "If I seem edgy I just want you to know" is taken in a Blue-Beat style. Then comes a guitar break, played in the style of Eric Clapton, then back into Blue-Beat, leading up to a very slow ending. Total track length is 6:30 - I'd love to know where and when this was recorded. The Applejacks here have a singer in his later years. White Plains with My Girl however is on YouTube, from a 2009 album, though it doesn't sound like any of the 70s bands put together for the road by John Shakespeare [YouTube Video] The Troggs tracks sound like a tribute band playing through the repertoire, all except for "Black Bottom" which turns out to be the same track as released on a French 45, another terrific track with some unexpected humour! So don't buy this CD if you want to hear the original hits, but do buy it if want some interesting re-takes of the "Brit-pop" material. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Juke Jules SUBS 22nd Nov 2020		78 RPM Roy Fox - My Hat's On The Side Of My Head / On A Steamer Coming Over	Jack Hulbert, vocals [YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 17th Nov 2020		CD Album Various Artists - Celtic Tradition	Review Behind the blurry Celtic knot on the front lies an unexpectedly fine collection of contemporary Irish Folk music, this being a sampler for 13 albums from the Tara label O'Farrell's Welcome To Limerick starts the compilation in thoroughly traditional style with Irish Pipes, Bodhran, guitars and synth drone [YouTube Video] The Deer's Cry is a thoroughly traditional setting of the old hymn Saint Patrick's Breastplate though newly composed by Shaun Davey for Granada Television [YouTube Video] The Gale is also a Shaun Davey composition, which introduces the album Brendan's Voyage in a symphonic contortion of the Irish-Trad style before sailing into a storm while the music grows unexpectedly modern-Classical and violent. The single track is not on YT but the whole of Brendan's Voyage is, beginning with The Gale [YouTube Video] Causeway is a fast violin reel accompanied by drums, Hammond and guitars which deconstructs into syncopation before joining up for a traditional ending [YouTube Video] This is an arbitrary choice from the many fine tracks on this compilation which will send me out searching for several of these Tara albums 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
