Barry,Kay / Evans,Maureen - Embassy Girls Volume 2 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Easy listening
- Description: Jasmine's extensive revisitation of the catalogue of Woolworth's famous Embassy tag continues to provide a wealth of great music for lovers of late 50s/early 60s pop. Once reviled by record buyers as being no more than cheap knock-off soundalikes, collector opinion has changed in the last couple of decades and Embassy 45s are now as avidly collected as both the original versions and cover versions on major mainstream labels. Rightly so, too, as they are at least as good as the latter and perhaps even more so considering the quick turnaround conditions under which they were made. We've already brought you collections featuring two of Embassy's leading ladies, in Maureen Evans and Jean Campbell. This month it's the turn of Barbara Kay, the tag's 'Kay Barry' whose complete recordings from 1960 to 1962 are joined by all the remaining Maureen Evans recordings that there was not room to fit onto our earlier InchEmbassies And OriolesInch set. Like her tag mates Barbara was a quick study, and able to cover anything and anyone from Helen Shapiro to actress Dorothy Provine and even Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons! Years of experience as a band singer made her able to adapt easily to any and every musical situation, as you will hear here. Maureen's selections are every bit as good as those we've brought you previously, and there's a bonus on hand in her duet recording of 'Goodness Gracious Me' with beloved radio DJ Brian Matthew playing Peter Sellers to her Sophia Loren! Their inclusion here means that every one of Maureen's Embassy recordings are now available on Jasmine. As always, the best available sources have been used in the preparation of the audio for this collection, with annotation that tells not only the story of the artists it features but also of the Embassy tag itself. Album Tracks 1. My Friend the Sea - Kay Barry 2. Don't Bring Lulu - Kay Barry 3. I

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8. Dai the Flu 9. Headup 10. MX
