The Great Sixty Eight...

[dr wu]

Bands like this... and MC5... Pure proto-metal

Blue Cheer - Doctor Please

Those first 2 old Cheer lps go for $50-60 bucks in good shape in record stores these days.

btw if you like Cheer I highly recommend Red Weather (psych rock) by Stephens the first guitarist for Cheer and also recommend Population II (heavy blues psych rock) by Holden the second Cheer guitarist both are fun and came out in 1969 and 1970

Elvis Comeback Special.

According to the book "Jim Morrison: Mr Mojo" by Dylan Jones, Elvis borrowed this look from The Lizard King, Jim Morrison. Not as effective at all.

When radio played a huge part in daily life, (an old Russian song)

Mary Hopkin - Those Were The Days.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

When radio played a huge part in daily life, (an old Russian song)

Mary Hopkin - Those Were The Days.

She was so young, but manages to sound like a forlorn old woman that's lamenting. Beautiful and sad.
