Howdy Kids,
Well it's been a month since my last post (x-mas, new years and all that fun stuff) and I'm back. I thought it would be a treat to upload a full LP this time to start 2008 off right. I've been ripping singles left right and center to build up a great inventory of digital goodness for the year ahead. One element of my blog has always been early roots reggae and I find I've been remiss in including any here for a long long time. Well that may be the next reason for this post as well. It's not that I'm not diggin' this stuff anymore, it's that, well....I've just been stuck in a rut of other genres which had up until now been occupying my playlists. Today I'm presenting you one of my favourite LPs. Bang Bang Lulu is a compilation from 1968 put out by the ever elusive PAMA label (Do the Mohawks ring a bell?). As a matter of fact, this album's catalogue number is PMLP4, whereas the incredibly hard to find Mohawks is PMLP5. This is on the Orange/Red cover/label version which I believe (in my hunt for answers) was released at the same time as the Black and Blue covers, although the black covers seem to be more common (10:1). Anyway, I believe the comp was put together by Lloyd Terrel (correct me if I'm wrong) and features some very recognizable names for this genre. Eric 'Monty' Morris is here as well as Lynn Tait and the Jets. Lynn Tait's incredible single "Out on a Funky Trip/Steppin' Up on Randy's" was posted by me a few months back. I'm posting a link to download the whole album and one song so you get a flavour before commiting to the whole 85mb download. Warning, this LP is chock full of innuendo and sexy lyrics. Sit back with your favourite rude girl and take in the titilating tunes of Bang Bang Lulu....most of all SHINDIGGIT!
