The preeminent purveyor of Sixties Production Pop, Andrew Sandoval, explains everything about his “Come to the Sunshine” show on WFMU’s Rock ‘n’ Soul Radio channel.
Andrew is on every Monday night, usually but not always with a new show, and here’s where you’ll find him tonight starting at 6 ET.
Prue says that Ringo was the “snap-happy” Beatle, taking pictures on the set of A Hard Day’s Night. He took this one of her.
That was in March, 1964. Until that month it was Paul who had been the shutterbug.
David Crosby got high, and he got a liver. Crosby living as long as he did is even more surprising than it was when fellow diabetic drug user Jerry Garcia died at age 53.
Crosby had a reputation as being the #1 a-hole of Folk-Rock. His musical contributions are nonetheless undeniable.
Taking a cue from the Beatles in maximizing the enjoyment of, and taking money from, their fans, the Rolling Stones in Mono set is being re-released on LP in colored vinyl.
The original LP box set is out of print and selling for much more than the $450 list price for “In Mono In Color.” So anybody who has been thinking of getting the first set can buy this one instead. My copy of the Stones in Mono is purely digital, in 96/24 FLAC format, which seems to be no longer available as a download purchase.
This Stones track is a curiosity, and not because the subject is supposedly LSD. To me it sounds very much like something the Kinks would have done.
P.S. Does $450 sound like a lot of money for a 16-LP box set? A typical discounted price for an album in 1976 was $5.99. Adjusted for inflation that would be about $30 today. For sixteen records that comes to $480.
Another reminder to enjoy every sandwich.
