Wax tracks
This is one in a nice series of lps called “Sound Stories” which features races, racetracks, racers and cars around the world. This one is the 17th Monaco Grand Prix 1959. Beautiful art here.
Weekend warriors
“It All Happens On Saturday” The Harry Stoneham Five” (From the BBC TV Parkinson’ Series). EMI Studio 2. These two blokes in a boat are living the high life, not a care in the world. Toasting their own good taste and good fortune.
East side story
Clifford Coulter “East Side San Jose” on Impulse ABC Records (1971) Check out these cats!: Mel Brown, Guitar; Cornelious Bumpus (that’s right!), Saxophone; Jimmy Calhaun, Bass; Billy Ingram, Drums; etc. Side One opens with a funky, jazzy take on Steely Dan’s “Do It Again,” then the title cut “East Side San Jose” which is great. For me the stand out track though is “Big Fat Funky Shirley” on side two.
Cross country
The Ferguson Trio. A righteous threesome for God with a honey of a hotrod and trailer. “Sing the Gospel” on Praise records. Even I’d honk for God if I passed them rolling down the interstate!
