New links for the deleted zippy links!!!

Hello Folks,
as i said in the posting before i have no clue what is happening with zippy. I have created new links for all the files people mentioned in their comments. Moby Grape is still in progress but i think it will also up in ten or fifteen minutes. Someone wrote me it had happened on other sites, too. I don't know. I hope everything will go on now fine again.

Frank

p.s.: Beryl Marsden, Shotgun Express, Normie Rowe, Shane, Moby Grape all with new links.

ZIPPY KILLS ?

Hi folks, as you may have noticed, files have been deleted by Zippyshare after a very short time. This have happened on other blogs and sites as well.

Mod/Power Pop by The Pleasers - Thamesbeat 1977 + EP & Single (1997 Lost Moment Records) Flac & mp3@320

10 years earlier this album would probably have hit like a rocket in the charts. Yeah, but that's how it is with pop music. It's often not enough to release a very good album, also the timing has to be right. That this is a very good album will not seriously deny anyone who deals with pop music of the sixties and seventies.

Absolutely recommendable for everyone who loves sixties mod pop sounds and of course the Beatles. Power Pop fans will certainly love the album, too. The band has a fine sense for great melodies and the arrangements also show sensitivity for the songs. The album was produced by Tommy Boyce. Hope you like it.
Have fun

Paul McCartney - Run Devil Run (1999 Parlophone) Flac & mp3@320

When Paul McCartney returned to the studio a year after his wife Linda's death, he wanted to cut loose and have a good time. He gathered a bunch of friends, most notably guitarist David Gilmour, with the intention of cutting a collection of rock & roll oldies with minimal rehearsal and a handful of takes.

On the surface, that makes Run Devil Run like Choba B CCCP, but there are subtle differences that make Devil a far superior effort. This time around, there's a real freshness to the performances. Gilmour, in particular, amazes, turning in some of his finest playing in years. Similarly, McCartney is invigorated, leaving behind his vocal schtick, laying back and rocking out with a set of fairly unfamiliar oldies.

Only three songs -- "All Shook Up," "Lonesome Town," and "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" -- are radio staples; and while "I Got Stung," "Blue Jean Bop," "She Said Yeah," "Honey Hush," and "Movie Magg" are known by aficionados, they're not ubiquitous standards.

This leaves room for a few more obscure numbers, such as Little Richard's "Shake a Hand," the Vipers' "No Other Baby," and the Fats Domino B-side "Coquette," plus three terrific new songs from McCartney: "Run Devil Run," a fantastic Chuck Berry-styled narrative; "Try Not to Cry," a strong bluesy pop number; and "What It Is," a catchy up-tempo shuffle.

Best of all, McCartney and co-producer Chris Thomas create an appealingly out-of-time production -- heavily compressed sound, yes, but cleaner than '50s recordings and livelier, grittier than most '90s albums. It all adds up to a dynamic, loose, carefree, and utterly infectious record, one of his best solo albums.(allmusic.com)

Even today, in 2017 it is still one of his best solo albums for me. Without doing hero worship here (and the danger is always given to me by Beatles musicians) Macca presented a very expressive album here. The choice of songs is brilliant and his vocals almost become the yardstick for his other solo productions. And by the way he delivered  probably the best rock' n' roll album of 1999. Absolutely recommendable and not only for Beatles fans. 5 stars out of 5. Hope you like it like i do.
Enjoy
