Comments and Reviews

mojofilter 6th Sep 2016		Review I think the blurb on the back cover deserves to be preserved for posterity. It says: "Hi there, hipsters, flipsters and finger poppin' daddies! From the world of wild wild and wooly wax that's colored black and kept in a rack ' til we bring it back for you Jills and Jacks comes CHAM Solid Gold! Twelve groovy goodies that you can kick off your penny loafers and jive to, change the paper in your rabbit hutch to... whatever's cool for you. Here are one dozen swingin' sides that you used to hum while you cruised for burgers. Dig this really regal rock 'n' roll revival. You get refound old sounds like Everybody's Talkin' by Harry Nilsson, during which you'll hear him do his unique vocal interpretation of a New York police car... The Friends Of Distinction with their world famous interpretation of Grazin' In The Grass, and you can sing along with them as they go Ikindigityoukindigithecandigitshekindigittheykindigit and later go through the fun of having your tongue put in traction... Mike Nesmith And The First National Band standing in the light of the Silver Moon watching their faces get all furry, and, of course, there's a super set of simply sensational sound souvenirs by The Guess Who - These Eyes, No TIme (the sad story of a man whose favourite news magazine has been sold out by Harry, the magazine vendor), and Hand Me Down World, a tune that examines the consequences of getting a used Rand-McNally globe. Remember Blue Suede Shoes by Carl Perkins? There's A Moon Out Tonight by The Capris? Angel Baby by Rosie & The Originals? That's funny! So do I! Too bad they aren't on this album. Well, when you get this record home, kick off your shoes, grab your favorite guy or gal and say, "Put up your hands and hand over your money," which is physically impossible anyway." 2 people found this review helpful.   ✔︎ Helpful Review?
