Pure Production Library Music GOLD!

The great blog Moogsenstations has posted an absolute gem of a Now Sound LP by British Library legend Johnny Hawksworth, a jazzy contemporary of Syd Dale, Keith Mansfield and Alan Hawkshaw.  It's thirty four minutes of driving, brassy, fuzz-laden, wah-wah driven rock and proto-funk instrumentals from not later than 1970.
As you go to music blogs, especially those which get into the shadowy world of music like this which was never intended for commercial release, you tend to see the phrase "All Killer, No Filler" bandied about with the frequency that "lost classic" is used on psych blogs for any LP that ever fell through the cracks of history.

Simple!

Now in its 332nd glorious year, the Luxuria Music tradition of Beatles Day - in which the songs of the Feeb Four are played but only by third party representatives - is a great opportunity to see how musicians throughout the world have covered the composiitons of Messrs. Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starkey.  The contributions by Luxuria's stalwart DJs are so overwhelming, so far reaching, and so thoughtfully diverse that I personally felt my own musical resources would add little that was not already in evidence.

Delight, Luxurians, in the sheer, star-spangled GLOH-REE!

You'lln't enpour Tura into a Tureen, since this being of sexy, shall provide the enkickening of boweloo!

The clip is from the 1973 Bollywood classic "Yaadon Ki Baaraat" starring Zeenat Aman, from which my earlier screen capture was lifted ( http://luxuriamusic.com/blog/litlgrey/this-is-why-to-bollywood ). The song proved so popular that it wound up appearing on CD sampler after sampler only a few years ago, and subsequently it became the title of a Mumbai-produced flick in its own right. The surprise is, the theme was liberally lifted from there theme song to "If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium" by Donovan Leitch.
