  • DEEP PURPLE, RHAPSODY in ROCK De Laquelle Tout Ce Qui Précède Ou Succède, Est Le Plus Souvent Négligé Et Minimisé
    JEAN-SYLVAIN CABOT DEEP PURPLE RHAPSODY IN ROCK LE MOT ET LE RESTE JEAN-SYLVAIN CABOT DEEP PURPLE rhapsody in rock le mot et le reste 2021 Bob Welch (1945-2012) Jon Lord (1941-2012) Alvin Lee (1944-2013) « Le but de la musique devrait n’être que la gloire de Dieu et le délassement des âmes. Si l’on ne tient pas compte de cela, il ne s’agit plus de musique mais de nasillements et beuglements diaboliques. » Jean-Sébastien Bach INTRODUCTION À ses débuts en 1968, Deep Purple est un caméléon qui se fond dans le paysage, s’essayant aux musiques à la mode et obtenant en Amérique un tube inattendu, « Hush », et réalisant en l’espace d’un an trois disques au carrefour des influences de l’époque : pop, psychédélisme, rock progressif, musique classique. Ces albums ont été diversement appréciés par la critique et les fans, les musiciens, eux-mêmes, ont voulu les effacer de leur mémoire et de leur histoire. Ce n’est qu’à partir de 1970, après l’arrivée d’un nouveau chanteur, Ian Gillan et du bassiste Roger Glover, que le groupe livre une série d’albums devenus des classiques : In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head et Made In Japan. Dauphin d’un Led Zeppelin qui, avec Black Sabbath, est l’incontestable accoucheur du hard rock – après que Blue Cheer, Vanilla Fudge et Cream en ont défini les bases –, Deep Purple devient, malgré ses excès et son exhibitionnisme instru- mental, un des groupes miraculeux des années soixante-dix et Ritchie Blackmore une icône emblématique du guitar-hero.

  • She Got the Wrong End of the Stick, but the Stick Still Existed
    She got the wrong end of the stick, but the stick still existed. ‘Winds of the world, give answer! They are whimpering to and fro - And what should they know of England Who only England know?' -The English Flag, Rudyard Kipling. The previous century started, arguably, not on New Year’s Day 1900 but 22 January 1901 when Queen Victoria, the personification of an age, died in the arms of her grandson, the Kaiser. Thus, as far as I’m concerned, 2013 left a mordant runway with the demise of Reg Presley on the 4th of February. Long before I was appointed official biography of The Troggs (Rock’s Wild Things: The Troggs Files [Helter Skelter, 2000] with Jacqueline Ryan), I entered Reg’s orbit in October 1985 at an extravaganza entitled Heroes And Villains at London's Dominion Theatre, perhaps the most pivotal event to nudge the 1960s revival out of neutral. It had, however, been long underway when I reeled into Dave Berry's dressing room in a flustered state after sunset had found me on the M4's hard shoulder, howling at the moon because of an overcharging alternator of a vehicle about one oil change away from the breaker’s yard. A sympathetic Dave steered me into licensed premises where Ronnie Bond, The Troggs’ drummer, was holding court. As a result, my recollections of the next few hours are now necessarily vague, but when roaming the backstage wastes of the Dominion, I passed a dozen famous faces along a single staircase; stood in the wings beside some stout cove who strode onstage to metamorphose into Chris Farlowe - and exchanged platitudes with a preoccupied Reg Presley.

  • Mark Irwin House of Shattering Glass
    Mark Irwin House of shattering glass On July 10th 1962 the Telstar communications satellite was launched and on that same day live television pictures originating in the United States were received in France. In October 1962 maverick independent record producer Joe Meek had a massive chart hit with the Tornados’ “Telstar”. Joe Meek changed the face of popular music and defined the role of the pop producer for decades to come. This paper will examine examples of his work and his pioneering approach to music production. Telstar It was number one in the UK charts the day I was born (7.10.62). It also became the first single by a British pop group to reach number 1 in the US charts. It was also Margaret Thatcher’s favourite record. [Audio example: play Telstar] Telstar (the name a homage to the Bell Laboratories designed and AT & T and NASA funded communications satellite launched on July 10th, 1962) by the Tornadoes is unquestionably the best-known recording by maverick pop producer Joe Meek. Meek defined the role of the independent pop record producer for decades to come and his influence is keenly felt in the genre to this day. Meek released over 300 records in his short career, 45 of which were top 50 hits. Addicted to slimming pills, obsessed with the occult and attracted to young men at a time when gay relationships were frowned upon even within the music industry, Meek lived the rock and roll life style long before it became ‘cool’. As Andy Partridge from the band XTC said, “Meek spoke to the dead and heard music from other planets, making number one hit records in his kitchen”.

An indispensable classic that defines the indefinable.” –John Zorn “Chusid takes us through the musical looking glass to the other side of the bizarro universe, where pop spelled back- wards is . pop? A fascinating collection of wilder cards and beyond-avant talents.” –Lenny Kaye Irwin Chusid “This book is filled with memorable characters and their preposterous-but-true stories. As a musicologist, essayist, and humorist, Irwin Chusid gives good value for your enter- tainment dollar.” –Marshall Crenshaw Outsider musicians can be the product of damaged DNA, alien abduction, drug fry, demonic possession, or simply sheer obliviousness. But, believe it or not, they’re worth listening to, often outmatching all contenders for inventiveness and originality. This book profiles dozens of outsider musicians, both prominent and obscure, and presents their strange life stories along with photographs, interviews, cartoons, and discographies.

Sign In Subscribe Music The Life of a Song: ‘Johnny Remember Me’ John Leyton’s hit about a cowboy haunted by his dead girl was born out of a séance and left behind a trail of tears Life of a Song DECEMBER 4, 2015 by: Cathi Unsworth Early in the 1960s, a morbid craze seized hitsville. The charts were haunted by songs such as Ray Peterson’s “Tell Laura I Love Her” (1960), the Everly Brothers’ “Ebony Eyes” (1961), Twinkle’s “Terry” and the Shangri-Las’ “Leader of the Pack” (both 1964) — all eerie evocations of teenage hot-rodders revving up and riding straight to hell. British movies such as Beat Girl and The Leather Boys were portraying juveniles playing for kicks in car races and bike burn-ups, too — so our moral guardians had to act. Attempting to suppress further fetishisation of the “live fast, die young, leave a good- looking corpse” credo, the BBC banned these so-called “death discs”. https://www.ft.com/content/8cd83e8a-91d1-11e5-bd82-c1fb87bef7af 1/4 10/16/2016 The Life of a Song: ‘Johnny Remember Me’ Singer John Leyton But Auntie Beeb could do nothing to stop the creepiest of all these fatal 45s: John Leyton’s “Johnny Remember Me (http://podcast.ft.com/2015/12/04/the-life-of-a-song-j ohnny-remember-me/)”, which, despite the BBC censor, went to number 1 in July 1961, stayed there for six weeks, then left behind its own trail of tears.
