can we give some love to the ladies of the 60's/70's that aren't receiving any hipster kisses?

^agreed

also the quality of their boots is usually not too crash hot

hmmm that is a bummer to hear, i really enjoy their releases :-(

everything they put out is put out without that artist's or artist's estate's knowledge

I'm not going to defend Fallout--they do substandard work generally and so forth--but when I was writing liners for the Asterisk reissues of the Caroline Peyton records (Fallout had already reissued Intuition in 2007, with only minimal liners, no extras and pretty lousy sound; Asterisk got the master tapes for their reissues), Peyton told me that she did indeed know about the Fallout edition, and met with them in London. They did pay her, not a lot. So she at least knew what was going on; but, unlike many of the people Fallout has revived, she has been a pro musician her whole life, had a career after her hippie days. But yeah, the Fallout Intuition is substandard, no doubt about it.

most of the fallout releases i've heard sound better than the radioactive releases, for what it's worth.

i think the same dude (plummer) is also running phoenix records, who are basically reissuing the "highlights" of the radioactive back catalog (first one i noticed was henske/yester) in little faux-LP sleeves.

Phoenix has issued a few expensive boot-looking things, like the first Silver Apples (first one that comes to mind, though there are a few others IIRC.. Flower Travelin' Band...)

on LPs that is. I dunno about CDs, but a while back I saw Newbury Comics in RI had a load of Radioactive CDs for under $10.

!!! awesome link!

pretty sure my grandma owned the same afghan featured on the cover of the geoff and maria - pottery pie lp

"On the subject of Rita C. - aparently her sister, Priscilla, made a great record called Gypsy Queen on Sussex; anyone heard it?"

LOVING this recently. so great.

also digging the Lily & Maria album that don mentions up above.

and lots of other stuff! i'll post more faves later today. been hearing some great near-forgotten records.

Lovers of this thread would love this list.

Unfortunately all the backup info is in Japanese. He's got an even more extensive list of 70s hippie dudes:

such a huge fan of gayle mccormick's work with smith and was excited recently to get three of her 70's solo albums but none of them do it for me. (reading latest ugly things some rocker who knew her says that she wanted to go in a more kick-ass rocking direction, but labels didn't want her too. which is sad. i can imagine that she had a great mama lion/ck strong album in her.)

been listening to a ton of jackie deshannon records from the 60's/70's and loving most of them. when is she gonna get her hipster reappraisal? her records - even the 60's ones - sell for peanuts.

also digging the dozen sammi smith records i ended up with. um, on the country tip.

and sandy posey! i need more sandy posey in my life. though morrissey is probably a fan.

i bow down before ruth copeland's self portrait this week. i haven't heard anything so beautiful in ages. but hepcats know about her. her two invictus records being basically parliament + groovy female vocalist. and her version - she wrote it - of the silent boatman just friggin' kills me so hard. i want to marry it.

"Copeland, Ruth, age one day..." CUE TRUMPETS!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH! i love it so much. just kills me dead.

hey, i like bonnie koloc!

that's a good thing! that's what this thread is all about.

i came within a few minor scuffs of buying a ruth copeland album off the wall in ian's shop sunday.

i think we have two copies of that kickin' around; next time yer in & i'm there i'm happy to give ya a discount!

btw sang freud, e-mail me so i have yer email info. Chapman's on for the 14th at thes tore--5:30.

whoa! i'll be there with bells on. and a baseball cap.

before i forget, you know what are pretty good? the two early 70's Gloria Loring albums on Evolution Records that I have. total hippie stoner folk pop. waaaaaay mellow. *sing a song for the mountain* and *...and now we come to distances*. buy them now cheap before espers namedrops them. some of the more rousing orchestral numbers/covers are a little dudly, but half of each album is mellow goodness. you can never have enough trippy covers of "dolphins" if you ask me.

jackie deshannon records from the 60's/70's and loving most of them. when is she gonna get her hipster reappraisal?

i've been trying to spread the news but i'm not hip. i think her poppy, raspy voice doesn't do it for the kids into more folkie stylings

i love the phrase "hipster kisses"

"dig that barbara keith tune scott"

i've gotten to know barbara and her husband a little bit. they are awesome. they come in my store. and they have a seriously rocking power trio with their son. their band is big in texas for some reason! they go and do little tours down there. i love her album on reprise. and i have always been fond of her first band Kangaroo. they made one album in 1968. i still need a copy of that first solo album though. her husband tells great stories. he grew up with and was good friends with terry melcher. so, that was exciting to me, because i'm such a big terry fan. he used to party in that ill-fated house of terry's. and hang with dennis wilson, etc. he wrote for t.v. munsters episodes! but they both got their fill of the t.v. and record business and moved east long ago. everyone covered barbara's songs in the 70's. even streisand on stoney end ("free the people").

Just to say I love this thread....

More ladies in '11 please

milton, thank you so much for that emmanuelle parrenin. loving it, although i didn't hear any ladies singing.

just picked up a copy of Catherine Ribeiro + Alpes "Le Rat Débile Et L'homme Des Champs". so great. thought of you

she's playing hurdy gurdy on that track. whole album is a creeper, it starts off completely folky and then side 2 kicks off with that proto-techno track and then veers off into total cosmic music

side 1's more like this:

this ended up being more of a Veronique Chalot thread but she belongs on this thread too: Emanuelle Parrenin 'Maison Rose' 1977

<3 Ribeiro. that's one's the one with 'Un Regard Clair (Obscur)'.

this is for milton:

Soviet videos really turn me on.

somewhat in the Parrenin/Chalot vein is the Kristen Noguès' 1976 album Marc'h Gouez. it's French Celtic harp music, but it isn't grand and progressive like Alan Stivell or medieval traditionalist like Chalot or trippy like Parrenin in her weirder moments. Parrenin's 'Plume Blanche, Plume Noire' is a good point of comparison for Noguès' rural-sounding, entrancingly repetitive folk that has just the right amount of understatedly odd touches in the arrangements to keep it from being merely pretty (not that "merely pretty" is always a bad thing). dig the abrasive electric keyboard bit that seems to interrupt the singer in mid-verse in the last 30 seconds of the first clip and the electronic whine bubbling under the surface of an otherwise tranquil harp solo in the last 30 seconds of the second clip (actually the very end of the album).

I'm really liking the first Bonnie Dobson clip that jaxon posted upthread. somehow I had her pegged as a straight, old school folkie like Pete Seeger (I love Seeger, don't get me wrong) but she was a very formidable pop singer evidently.

Fantastic record by Rosemarie Taylor, an American woman living in Ireland in the '70s. So obscure, I can't find a pic, so you have to do with my crappy photo, never mind a youtube.

Has Susan Pillsbury been mentioned here yet?

really digging the first two Jennifer Warnes albums on Parrot when she was simply "Jennifer". mix of originals and covers and the production on them is awesome. both produced by Marty Cooper. just tons of cool little touches. atmosphere. double-tracked vocals. and her voice is likewise really cool on them.

I believe I have four Dana Gillespie songs on my hard drive (including an excellent cover of "Pay You Back with Interest"), and three from Twiggy. I was especially surprised by how great Twiggy could be.

All very folky and lovely, except Karen Alexander which has been a wtf record for me. Seriously who is she? I saw that she has another record, but the net gives little info on her.

Scott Seward seemingly knows more about Karen Alexander than anyone else in the world, including Karen Alexander herself.

at any rate, this thread of his convinced me a while back that Voyager is a remarkable album. I still haven't heard a note of her music though.
