Blue Cheer,was an American hard rock band from(ends 60´s-earlies 70´s),based in San Francisco. “Oh! Pleasant Hope”,is the sixth album on their discography.
On the song “I´m the light”,features the use of Sitar and synth,inusual on other albums by Blue Cheer.
While “Money troubles” and “Ecological Blues” are more oriented blues rock tunes,and “Traveling man” features country,other songs like,“Hiway man”,“Believer”,“Lester the arrester” and “Heart full of soul”,are in Southern rock,style .
Great guitar and vocal,Gary Lee Yoder,features previous an LP on the KAK band in 1969,a great psychedelic collector lp.
I can do recordings to be transfered in digital source
the most rare original pressings,are hard-to-find albums than often sound far superior to any reissues.Instead to pay an audio engineer,new labels use a quick mastering process than loose dynamics and destructive audio,to save money.
I have submitted masters to record labels and released digitizations with quite good dynamics.
If you have a piece of vintage audio that you would like digitized,please contact me.

AVIADOR DRO
Grupo pionero de la movida de Madrid,con un estilo minimal y Synth-pop.
Discipulos de Residents,Throbbing Gristle o Devo,el Aviador Dro y sus Obreros Especializados,es un colectivo de actores,musicos e intelectuales,que se disfrazan con monos y trajes futuristas.
Creen en un mundo distópico de robots y futuro post-nuclear.
Del mismo colectivo,tambien son Esplendor Geometrico,grupo Industrial de culto.
Con teclados,sintetizadores y cajas de ritmo,prueban de emular a los Kraftwerk
con melodias de pop pegadizo como,“Selector de Frecuencias”.
Mientras miraba por la tv el programa “La edad de Oro”,llamó un amigo y cuenta que el próximo fin de semana tocaran El Aviador Dro en Zeleste,y que compre la entrada porque se van a agotar.
En este concierto,presentaron su primer lp,“Alas sobre el mundo”.
LINEA VIENESA
Otro grupo de tecno pop electronico,Linea Vienesa,naive,nostalgico y elegante,pasan del glamour de los Roxy Music al rock siniestro de Souxsie.
El LP,fué editado por el sello indie electrónico de Domestica records,con un gran artwork echo a mano por el diseñador Jordi Serrano,gracias a unas cintas originales demo de 1981.
Carlos Berlanga,fundador de Kaka de Luxe,es autor de los temas ‘Cangrejos en la cocina’ o ‘Morir en primavera’.
La actuación fue en el Rock-Ola de Madrid en 1981,grabada del Diario Pop de Ordovas.

Los Residents actuan e interpretan “Mole Show” en Studio 54,la mayoría del público no comprendió este espectáculo.
Un álbum muy interesante y valido para prestar su atención.

British pop star,Peter Hammill,ex-Van Der Graaf Generator,played in Barcelona,Sala Cibeles,on 1986.
Can´t tell the essential difference between the VDGG stuff and Hammill’s solo stuff,maybe the progressive rock VDGG,were one´s of the pioners of their time.
I myself remember,when in my school times purchased VDGG-“Pawn Hearts”,and King Crimson-“In the court”,on a local record store,Gay & Company,the same people than brings the Rolling Stones,to gig in Barcelona on 1976.
Peter Hammill´s voice,describe sadness and anguish,and it was a memorable concert played alone with the acoustic guitar and piano.
Here,you could find some pop stars,talking about this great poet and musician,
VDGG-” did some music that was pretty far ahead of their time” (The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne)
“They were the very best, much darker than all the other bands of that era.” (Phil Collins)
“I discovered him in 1973. I was smoking a lot of pot, hanging around in darkened rooms, listening to music. One day I heard his album Chameleon in the Shadow of the Night. I knew a bit about Van der Graaf Generator [Hammill’s band], and that was it. It fitted in with what I was feeling ñ a bit out of my head, a bit depressed. I immediately wanted to collect his records” (Stephen Morris,Joy Division/New Order)
Bowie,”is asking his artist liaison manager to pick him up a few LPs at the record store before leaving for Switzerland that night.One of the albums is ìThe Quiet Zone / The Pleasure Domeî by Van der Graaf”.
Rotten / Lydon ,”has long been a fan of Hammill / VdGG and in 1977 he was given ample air time on a now-famous Capital Radio broadcast where he brought in his fave records to play, and shocked the audience by playing Hammill, Can, Beefheart, and others that no one would have dreamed he liked”.
Hammill played songs from some solo albums like,”Fools Made”,”The Quiet zone/The pleasure dome”,”In Camera”,”The Future Now”,”Patience”.
Until that period in 1986,PH recorded about 24 albums.

Dire Straits Live The Warner Bros.Music Show(79)Promo US.Orig.
The Britain´s favourite “lost” band,when somebody ask me two stunning psychedelic albums,I always named Kaleidoscope first albums,”Tangerine Dream” and “Faintly Blowing”.
Lead singer,Peter Daltrey played his first shows in 40 years,last 2012 for a short tour of California.
Peter played the gig with the Trembling Bells…US,band.
Kaleidoscope gig 2013,features Rob Bartholomew Campanella (Brian Jonestown Massacre, Quarter After) on Bass; Cheryl Caddick (Silver Phial) on drums; Nick Castro (Young Elders, Poison Tree) on mellotron and rhythm guitar; Christof Certik (Young Elders, Winter Flowers) on lead guitar.
Peter Daltrey-“The Sky Children”
SONG …… “Sky Children”
“A million white flowers in a field in the sky Seemed to spell out a greeting as the children flew by A guard in a chariot of silver and gold Gave the children all tickets, then the story he told Of a time in the future that was sunshine and flowers And the children grew sleepy in the sky’s white towers They dreamed of the story that the guard had displayed They saw all the wonders, tiny minds were amazed They saw candy forests and dragons that breathed fire On all that was evil in the misty mire
They came to the village where the turtles in caves Made pies for the people and the lemonade The people lived out by the sea and each day The seagulls would wake them as they passed on their way The people were kindly, they would sing to the sky And each bright new morning, the sun shone from their eyes The children passed over and all the people could see As they dived from the sky to the treacle sea They bathed on the white sand, minutes turned into hours And the children all giggled and gave each other flowers
The King from his castle came down to the sea And he spoke to the children so patiently He gave them small presents and bid them farewell And the children unwrapped them, tiny silver bells Their tinkling floated across the island with ease And it came back toward them on the perfume breeze They smiled at the tinkling, they gazed at the sun And they smiled at each other, pretty little ones A beautiful white horse came down to the sea And the children all climbed up as he knelt on one knee
They rode through the valleys and high over hills And they laughed oh so loudly, their fear to kill They came to a lakeside of deep velvet and green And they all stared in wonder at its beauty serene They climbed from the white horse, they watch as it goes As they stood by the green lake for to kiss their toes A boat in the distance was suddenly there Waiting to take the children to anywhere The porcupine captain said that he didn’t mind In his coat of black needles, he looked very kind
His crew were six rabbits with fluffy white ears And the children all stroked them and lost all their fears They sailed through the sunshine, across the green lake And they drank lemonade and they ate ice-cream cake They landed in a dark cave as the boat disappeared And they all stood in darkness, through the shadows they peered But out of the blackness shone diamonds so bright Their tiny white hands shielded eyes from the light In a pool of quicksilver stood Neptune so wise And pearls were his white teeth, bright diamonds his eyes
He spoke to the children in a voice of velvet And he beckoned them to him, in a circle they sat He told of sky island and of his magic cave And magic pink seashells to the children he gave They listened intently as the music came far From the magic pink seashells and nobody talked But Neptune had vanished when they lifted their eyes So they walked from the cave as two kingfishers cried In the bright shiny sunlight, they got down on one knee They listened to the sea shells of the magical sea
But the day grew much darker, so they climbed on the breeze And they floated to the village, and the people were pleased To see them so happy with their tinkling bells And the people all listened to the musical shells But the children were so sad, the time had come to leave So the people waved goodbye and begged them to believe Of the wonders they had seen in the island of the sky And the children said they would and away they did fly Through the white clouds of no time till forever it seems And the children stayed children and they lived in their dreams”

Recuerdo que era un lunes por la noche después de clase,estudiaba Relaciónes Publicas en la Uni,un curso que me sirvió de poco,excepto para viajar hasta la Patagonia,visitar al Papa en una recepción,o ir al Ayuntamiento de Cadiz,invitado por la comisión de turismo y protocolo.
Estaba encerrado en mi cuarto y puse el programa diario Pop del gran Ordovás,sonaba el tema de Derribos Arias-“A Flúor”,era una emisora friki en época post-franquista,un programa musical de punk e independientes,cuando anunció un concierto para el próximo fin de semana en Madrid,los Tuxedomoon.
Enseguida llamé por teléfono a dos amigos invitandoles a ir al concierto,Carlos tuvo un arresto de fin de semana por llegar un dia tarde,porque estaba haciendo la mili.
Al dia siguiente,me puse la chupa de cuero negra de motorista Inglés,cogí mi bolsa de discos,y fuí a comprarme un LP a discos Castelló de la calle Tallers,Tuxedomoon-“Holy wars”.Estaba tan excitado que puse rápido el lp en mi tocadiscos,”Some guys”,”In a manner of speaking”,”Bonjour tristesse”…. esa melancolía,tristeza,angustia, depresión,era una música que llamó mi atención,fantástico LP.
El “viaje”,en tren de Barcelona a Madrid,duró 8 horas y escuché no se cuantas veces un cassette del “Metamatic” de John Fox con un walkman portátil.Llegamos justo a tiempo antes que empezara el concierto,era un pequeño teatro con asientos muy moderno “El Villa de Madrid”.No había demasiado público en el concierto,claro que es un grupo de New Wave y Avantgarde,lejos de otros grupos de punk rock, Buzzcocks,Stranglers, Magazine,Joy Division,Wire que eran más potentes con grandes discos y muchos más seguidores.
Aquí teneis la discografía completa de Tuxedomoon,recomiendo los LPS, “Half Mute”,”Holy Wars”,y los primeros maxis que son muy difíciles de encontrar.
El grupo actuó los 3 dias seguidos,fue un concierto histórico.Vimos el viernes,sábado y domingo a los Tuxedomoon.Por suerte,pude documentar el concierto ya que los grabé en directo con un cassette Aiwa stereo.Después de digitalizar la grabación,(volumen,normalizar,dither,ajustar canales….),subí a este post,el concierto integro del primer dia.
