EVARISTE

" Often regarded as the French Kim Fowley, Evariste is a well-kept secret needing to get out there NOW. Genius, creative and with a very poisoned language in the lyrics of his songs. A mix between ye ye, garage and hallucinated experimental rock. Evariste is probably one of the most interesting musicians from the French 60s rock scene, though maybe too weird to have really had that recognition from the public and media at the time! And Michel Colombier is involved in these recordings too! This first time ever reissue of his works includes his complete discography, thats two Eps and one single. Remastered sound, and limited to 500 copies. "
A portuguese label (no smoke records) released this LP a few days ago. Shame on the french record industry!

A Little Village Motherf***er.

"... The grainy, out-of-focus picture of Williamson that fills this front cover is no exception; in fact, in a way, it established the rule. It isn't that he looks mean, he just looks like he could care less. Such a look of indifference has perhaps never before been captured by the camera. It could easily have been taken during some of the discussion that occurs between the artist and his producers during the recording of a song called "Little Village." It was the reissue producer's decision to put an entire 11 minutes of takes, re-takes, and related arguing on the first side of this collection, complete with a severe warning that the proceedings are not suitable for airplay. ..."

Wally Richardson - soul guru

Wally Richardson - khyber pass boogaloo


Wally Richardson came out of a rhythm and blues,soul jazz and pop experience. Because of this background and music reading ability, he was very active as an all around studio guitarist in the late 50’s/60’s/70’s. He recorded a good cult album of psychedelic jazz funk which is now a collectors item. “Soul Guru” came out in 1969 on Prestige Records in New Jersey.

Janko Nilovic goes voodoo

" Janko Nilovic is one of these extremely productive musicians. He was especially hyperactive in 60s and 70s and it is almost impossible to gutter all the information about his recordings. He says that he has recorded at least 150 singles and maybe even twice that figure. He has recorded also under following pseudonymous: ALAN BLACKWELL, EMILIANO ORTI, JOHNY MONTEVIDEO, ANDY LOORE, HEINZ KUBE, BILL MAYER, ENNIO MORANDI, PHILIPPE GRAY, THE TEXAS TRAVELLERS and probably some more. He is still very active and composing in all the styles as he used to (clasical, pop, jazz, funk...). " From Janko Nilovic official webpage.

Now you can listen to 3 Janko's VERY RARE 7' records, under the alias "Voodoo Ju Ju". Thanks to the original "diggers/rippers/uploaders" Dj Alfonso and Christian Aubrun

"The Hiltonaires were named for Kingston's Hilton Hotel, where they were the house band. Though not necessarily the best mento group ever recorded, The Hiltonaires may have been the most prolific, recording six LPs during mento's middle period. They also toured North America.
this LP adds an electric guitar ska chop to some tracks, but the music is really still mento in both instrumentation and repertoire (even if the word "Ska" is worked into some of the titles of familiar mento songs, like "Ska and Fall Back" instead of "Dip and Fall Back")". via mento music
