bite it deep june 2013 saturday 29 june 2013 the wackers hot wacks 1972 so continuing on with the bob segarini story after the family tree s 1968 s popsike classic miss butters reviewed here came the less inspired and not so good roxy lp in 1969 thankfully the roxy period was a short one and segarini and bandmate multi instrumentalist randy bishop joined forces with michael stull lead guitar piano vocals william kootch trochim bass slide guitar vocals and spencer t earnshaw drums percussion and moved on to another project originally called ernie the incredible chickens quickly renamed the wackers the plan this time was to go against the grain of the current trend of pretentious rock that was popular at the time and take music back to it s more innocent times of three minute songs with three harmonies and choruses you could sing along to the raspberries big star and the flamin groovies were also thinking along the same lines around this time and were essentially laying down the foundations of what would come to be known as powerpop the first wackers album wackering heights was released on elektra records in 1971 and was produced by gary usher byrds beach boys there are some great tracks on this record including a rousing version of elvis presley s don t be cruel which was most likely the inspiration behind cheap trick s version of the song some of the slower tunes have got a strong crosby stills and nash vibe thanks to the vocal harmonies everything on here though is ultra melodic with plenty of beatlesque touches in the song writing especially segarini s sun king inspired body go round the wackers l r stull bishop segarini trochim earnshaw wackering heights didn t sell too well but elektra had enough confidence in the band to let them record a follow up once again with gary usher producing 1972 s hot wacks album saw the band move away from the acoustic dominated sound of the first album to a more powerful sound more electric guitars and heavier compressed drums but still pure pop at the same time the recording lasted just six days at le studio in montreal quebec in canada a favourite spot for the wackers and a place where segarini would most of the decade recording hot wacks opens with my favourite wackers song i hardly know her name which is a one minute and fifty second pop gem which revisits the early beatles sound next up is we can be the longest track on the album at four and a half minutes but grooves hypnotically away with some booming mccartney style bass lines and she s so heavy guitar the beatles influences are all over this record and the bands intentions for their version of john lennon s oh my love was for it to sound as though it was done by the beatles themselves rather than lennon solo and with it s jeff lynne trademark crunching snare drum it reminds me a lot of free as a bird which i suppose is another lennon song so no big surprise there so convincing was their attempt at oh my love that it turned up many times over the years on beatles bootleg albums wait and see pre dates that big star radio city sound in particular mod lang which sounds quite similar if you hadn t picked up on the abbey road vibe on the album this far then you certainly will when you flip it over to side two which is a medley of six short songs which blend perfectly into one another thanks to some smart editing by usher the late beatles sound is present throughout including some spine tingling leslie speaker effect guitar find your own way bears some lovely lennonesque lysergic laced lyrics sometimes it feels that the world isn t real and i m floating in gelatin skies which you can hear for yourself on my bite it deep mix vol 02 here richie unterberger s liner notes for the cd reissue of the albums mentions that the band ended up being kicked off a post jim morrison doors tour for being happy and having too much fun the band were not happy with usher s mix of hot wacks and was not asked to produce the follow up 1973 s shredder this is my least favourite of the three wackers albums but it does have some quality moments eventually even you even me has a t rex slider feel to it and apparently the band s stage outfits had been getting quite glam randy bishop looks very lady like on the inner gatefold sleeve much to elektra s disliking the best track on the album is the raspberries alike it s my life which saves the album shredder is worth a listen and as long as you don t spend too much on a copy or get your hopes up too high you ll be happy nice sleeve too the album like the previous two did not chart but would provide the band with their only us hit single day and night which made it to number 65 in the billboard chart another wackers album wack and roll was partly recorded but winded up being rejected by elektra which ultimately led to the band s demise segarini s next beand would be the dudes whose one and only album we re no angels on columbia records in 1975 i haven t heard so i ll have to save that story for another time for now though here s the wackers doing what they did best posted by peter gough at 20 00 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday 20 june 2013 i get so excited real mccoy 1968 vs i get so excited the equals 1968 i get so excited has been recorded by many artists including geno washington don fardon the grass roots brownsville station and even captain sensible my favourite interpretations of the song are the original version by the equals and the one by the real mccoy which incidentally was the first recorded cover came out in released two months after the original the equals the equals version is pure hard pop less soulful and more beaty than those recordings made by other artists in the following years their version like most of the bands recorded output is bursting with a driving energy equally good is the flip side the skies above check it out here this single was the equal s fifth and like the four before it flopped like a fish their defining single baby come back was released just two months later there s loads of hidden gems among the equals back catalogue that will interest readers of this blog and i d recommend you dig a little deeper into the works of eddy grant and co the real mccoy the real mccoy s version brings out the bubblegum ness from the track and is more melodic thanks to the vocal harmonies throughout rhythmic acoustic guitar and hand claps pad out the song and some over the top phasing which is used almost all of the way through giving it a psychedelic tint the b side somebody s taken maria away is a chris andrews penned tune which sounds rather like the hollies circa 1965 this was the bands first of seven singles on the rarely seen target record label and made it to number 68 in their native irish chart the single also got a uk release on pye but it failed to chart there is an lp on the marble arch record label that was released in 1970 that brings together both sides of their first five singles i ve never seen a copy but would be interested if anyone out there has one to sell so if i had to choose my favourite out of the two i d most likely go with the real mccoy version mainly for its killer phasing check it out posted by peter gough at 19 44 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest

off single is roger peacock a singer who had been in the music business since the early sixties fronting british beat bands such as the cheynes mark leeman five and dave anthony s moods as well as cutting a solo single for columbia records in 1965 an r b georgie fame alike song called everybody s talkin bout my baby b w time have changed peacock relocated to italy in 1969 joining the primitives then the godfather roger peacock singing in the primitives it was during the early 1970 s that he hooked up with his old friend lally stott who wrote and produced both sides of this solo record the a side just a lonely man vocally sounds quite different to his earlier solo single and he appears to have picked up a bit of an italian accent it s a decent enough pop ballad but the b side is the real killer sun was in your eyes is a slow burning abbey road style ballad bass pumped up to the max double tracked acoustic guitar multi layered vocals a la sun king the song picks up the pace a little by the last chorus when the tambourine and leslie speaker effect electric guitar kick in this song gave me goosebumps the first time i heard it on the wonderful mr toytown presents volume 3 a couple of years ago and is one i ve wanted to share on this blog but had to wait until i had my own copy on the spanish accion label with a picture sleeve of peacock sporting a rather mean looking horseshoe moustache in front of a union jack flag background a british copy of the single exists on the famous record label and was also released in october 1971 roger peacock never released any more records after this to my knowledge and would settle in the indian hippy haven of goa he died in a car accident in 2007 listen to the killer sun was in your eyes posted by peter gough at 17 05 1 comment email
