Geese - Honky Tonk Women (2000's?)

Honky Tonk Women

Geese

Unknown release

(2000s?)

Not THAT band Geese, but the sound of geese honking their way through the Stones classic, Honky Tonk Women.

No information on this one, as it was a relic from the pre-DSL (56k modem) days of internet downloads. Hence, also the low quality.

This was one of many, MANY songs I downloaded from April Winchell's blog before it went down... but she had some phenomenal playlists... "Celebrities Who Insist on Singing," "Terrifying Christian Songs," "Kid records" to name a few... it was also the first place I heard classic curio albums like the production musical "The Bathrooms Are Coming!" and (her father,) Paul Winchell's album, "Chips of Wisdom."

The Green County Boys - Intro/Hemorrhoids (1960s?

Intro - Hemorrhoids 

The Green County Boys

Borborygmi

(1960s?)

A collection of jaunty piano-and-vocals medical parodies, apparently sung by real doctors. Only real doctors could have gotten away with singing such explicit material in the '50s/early '60s period these songs were probably recorded. It definitely wasn't for the general public - only other medical industry professionals would understand all the references.

I assume if Tom Lehrer became a doctor, instead of a math teacher, his music would have leaned more in this school of parody as opposed to satire.

Hear them massacre the old Foy Willing hit "Detour" that'll leave a pain in your ears as well as your ass!

Buck Anderson - Encounters/I Like Girls (1978?)

Encounters/I Like Girls

Buck Anderson

Benson Sound Inc. 5021

(1978?)

The web gives no information on Buck Anderson, the label and recording studio was out of Oklahoma City. 

Here we have a real people country singer who probably wrote these songs between Star Trek reruns and D&D sessions. Given the catalog number,  references to Star Wars and Close Encounters... I am assuming this vanity press was recorded around 1978.

For as much thought as he put in the A side, the B side is his ode the ladies complete with an inept drum solo an a chorus of ladies he probably picked up from a bar.

How this ended up in a dollar bin in Pasadena is beyond me, but I'm glad I found it. 

May the force be with you, my Skywalker!

John Trubee & Ugly Janitors of America - Aldo Ray (2015)

Aldo Ray

John Trubee & Ugly Janitors of America

Nude Woman Exdocrius

(2015)

John Trubee... probably most famous for being the author behind the infamous song-poem "Blind Man's Penis." 

He has continued to be musically active since the 70s, with his albums being a veritable grab bag of outsider art, noise, poetry and prank phone calls. 

Here he is with his backing band, Ugly Janitors of America doing his tribute to classic macho leading man, Aldo Ray.

Bill Haley Y Sus Cometas - Florida Twist/Negra Consentida (1961)

Florida Twist/Negra Consentida
Bill Haley Y Sus Cometas
Orfeon 1047
(1961)

In 1960, Bill Haley moved to Mexico. The hits had stopped, the well had run dry and a series of bad luck events had occurred post-"Rock Around The Clock."

He had left the U.S. to evade the IRS. He also found that if he signed to a Mexican label, AND kept the money in Mexico, the IRS couldn't touch it.

And so it goes, the first king of Rock n Roll became the king of the Twist. He would record a whole album of Twist songs, and would have the biggest record out of Mexico (up to that time.)

Is that him singing in Spanish on the flip? It sounds like him, but I never researched it.

Robert Mitchum - You Deserve Each Other-I'm Confessin' (1967/1956)

a) You Deserve Each Other

Robert Mitchum 

That Man... Robert Mitchum Sings

(1967)

b) I'm Confessin'

Robert Mitchum 

Capitol Demo (Tall Dark Stranger CD)

(1956, released 1997)

A couple odds and ends from Robert Mitchum. First up, him doing the country pop thing. A bizarro world Dean Martin, if you will.

Then, a demo he cut for a nixed album from Capitol, before he pivoted directions from standards to Calypso.

Sex Appeal

Barbara Rylska

Sex Appeal

(1965)

Found in a thrift store a couple decades ago. Couldn't resist the cover. Musically, visually... I can assume she's the Liza Minelli of the Eastern bloc.
