Real world concerns (nothing serious -- just irksome) are preventing me from posting promised stuff today and tomorrow. Until I return on Monday, please enjoy Herman's Hermits and the great Graham Gouldman's ode to bittersweet vacations.
I thank you.
HDtracks.com is an internet company that sells high resolution digital music. You can pick up some Hermans Hermits (a 20 plus song Retrospective) there in glorious blu-ray definition (music files only.) I would not have considered that purchase prior to wandering over to this blog. Now, it is probably only a matter of time.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys!

Graham Gouldman wrote some GREAT songs. I know all the hits, and i even bought an old solo album hoping for some more gems. Did he write any geat songs i may not know about?
ReplyDeleteHerman's Hermits music holds up really well, in part because they or their manager were seriously good at picking covers. They also did "music hall" before the Beatles got to it, with Mrs. Brown. Respect the Hermits!

ReplyDeleteLet's try this again but with the link this time.
ReplyDeleteGouldman wrote this one, which I'm inordinately fond of.

I also think he's playing on most of it; the Ohio Express in the video were some bar band that Kasenetz and Katz sent out on the road to pose as the mythical group.
But still a pretty neat bubblegum song...

Not always. The guitar on "Silhouettes," for example is either Jimmy Page of Big Jim Sullivan, if memory serves.
