For the completists.......2007-07-02

Having obsessive collecting tendencies, this was a must have for me. It is a very interesting and humorous look at one of the greatest bands of our lifetimes, however, it is no real extension of their musical catalog.

I like the album. It is fun, but being that it isn't really an album, I have rated it as such.

Be warned, Army is the edited version (which is fine with me, since I have the explicit version as well).

A Spike that promises but delivers only now and then!.......2006-11-23

This 2002 Spike Jones indie release of some rather rare tracks in the Jones arsenal is one that promises alot but doesn't really deliver overall.
Harlequin is an indie company in England who makes their living obtaining copies of sometimes rare/hard to find records now in the hands of private collections and releasing them onto records/CDs....a great way to get around copyright laws in many countries.Harlequin,Proper,Flapper,ASV,et al have done very well over the years trying to fill the niche collectors market in material that the biggies won't or aren't interested in releasing.This release while produced in England was made in the Czech Republic....make of that what you will,if anything.
This is great for collectors and compleatists looking for those rare items to add to their favourites collections.But like everything else in this world caveat emptor,buyer beware.Not all indie releases are made equal as some companies take more pains to get their work done as well as they can while others are just out there to exploit a gullable public.
While this release doesn't fall into the latter category by any means it is certainly from a audio point of view rather disappointing.It's a mixed bag with some tracks sounding quite well while others sounding pretty poor.
There are two main factors involved here: 1) the person on the sound board,i.e. the expertise/committment at equalizing and remixing the sound the best he/she possibly can and 2)the source material involved,i.e.how worn/damaged are the pressings they have to work with.
And this is the crux on which buying these releases rest on.You takes your chances and settle for what you gets.
Another bone of contention I have with the release are the liner notes.For the most part they are all over the place.They are written by a member of the Spike Jones International Fan Club who(should have known BETTER) wrote them like he was releasing them to a bunch of buddies instead of a more generalized public.It's filled with alot of inane patter,in-jokes and references.While I "got" many of them this kind of liner note is NOT for general fan consumption and shows a disturbing lack of professionalism and subsequent lack of respect for the buyer.
To top this the liner notes do blurbs on just 13 of the 23 tracks on the disc!! The best thing about the booklet really are the pictures included,not much else.
In conclusion unless you are a Spike Jones compleatist who REALLY wants these performances,about five released studio recordings and the rest split between alternate takes and live recordings,then I suggest you give this a pass.The sound varies considerably on these tracks and are no where near what you would hear on official releases and should have been better than they are.And let's not get into the liner notes again....as annoying as a Popcorn Sack!!

New To Spike? Don't Buy this until you complete "Slickers 101".......2006-07-28

If you are new to Spike and the Slickers, buy one of the "Best of Collections" first! The reason is simple: those CDs contain the polished, finely tuned performances that made us fans. This CD contains material that an old time Spike fan like me appreciates as "the other stuff Spike did".

And now for some REAL info?.......2003-05-15

Incredible performances: just listen to the live performance of "Dance of the hours", or Tommy Dorsey trying to fit in Spike's rendering of his own sig tune "I'm getting sentimental over you" (also live)... a bunch of other gems too. BUT: again, like with the other Harlequin records, you have to know already a lot about Spike & Slickers, because their liner notes keep referring to "insiders only facts". I like the style of the notes, but the contents are lost on me... Since I actually would have liked to rate this CD SIX stars, leaving of one for the liner notes still gives me five stars. Hahaha!

Long lost Spike Jones tracks surface!.......2003-01-25

Harlequin has been releasing hard-to-find Spike Jones items since the 1980s, beginning with the Standard Transcriptions. But this new release, Fonk, is absolutely the best of the litter! Even if you are a rabid Jones collector, you will find a goldmine of long out-of-print discs, previously unheard radio excerpts, interviews, and even several alternate performances from Spike's golden days with RCA Victor. The sound is quite good on all tracks. There is not a "lemon" among them!

The program was created specifically to allow bands to perform with complete artistic freedom. This interview remains one of the earliest available! Interview II King Biscuit Flower Hour- 1976 *An astounding and very recent discover, this interview is a truly long lost treasure. It was recorded between late 1976 and the beginning of the tour in April 1977. The interviewer is Alan Freeman, one of England's most respected DJs. In a casual exchange Jimmy Page provides a unique and rare insight into his thinking about the band, the music and the future. The interview was never transmitted and has remained hidden for 20 years. Interview III The Publicity Interview-1990 *Recorded in the summer of 1990, it was intended that htis interview be used for promotion on syndicated radio. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones each take a look back at their albums, their success and their determination to produce music that changed both them and their audience. Each of the trio gives their own personal recollections and anecdotes which makes this piece enormously entertaining.

Only a total lunatic could enjoy sitting through this disc...and the sound quality! Don't expect that this was recorded for anything other than the interviwer's personal use. And what's the deal with this being a picture disc? What CD doesn't have a picture on it? If it were vinyl they'd have something going but this is just stupid. About the only thing redeeming on this disc is the part where the thickly accented German interviewer (funny in itself) gets Ian going about his hair (Sonic Temple era long)...Ha, Ha, Ha. "...long hair...it's quite natural for a man really." I can just imagine him flipping his locks as he's saying this.

How not to........2007-06-18

I am unashamedly fascinated by Colin Newman, and I'm always baffled as to why everybody else in the world isn't. He's such a feisty, intense little character, interesting too, at least to me and a few (unfortunately VERY few!) of his fans.
`Commercial Suicide' (a typical Newman title, good, but bleeding obvious and he DOESN'T CARE!) isn't as good as `Not To'. Not many albums are, but it is very good. The music has been opened out considerably, and some of the arrangements are simply sensational.
The first song, `This Terrain' is a neat example of the case in point. The whole entourage he's assembled here give it some proper welly to get us off and running. The sound is dense yet crystal clear. He's put together a top cast of mostly European musicians, who no-ones heard of, and they play beautifully a bewildering array of instruments, all flugal horns and oboes. In fact, that quietly blistering opener sounds like he's got a full brass band on board. (I swear to you, he's been listening to Roy Harpers' `When an Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease')
Perhaps all these Dutch and Belgian musos are something to do with his record label; Crammed .(perversely pronounced cram-med) who I think are/were based in that bastion of taste and excitement, Brussels. Pity about the inference, because `crammed' sums a lot of his music up, as in full-to-bursting with novel ideas, wit, intelligence and mystery.
NB; Newman himself lived in Brussels at the time, even though he's from Watford! You couldn't make it up!
Anyway, Newman and his continental cohorts attack `Commercial Suicide' with such warmth and verve it is absolutely impossible to resist. The last four songs remind me, a lot, of the last four on `Closer', not so much musically, but in their utter completeness, in their single-minded totality.
There is a school of thought that has at its core, the belief that some music can be TOO perfect, that even the most classic albums need a few flaws. I'm not sure about this. I understand the premise, but surely it's every artists duty (and responsibility) to make their work as good as it can be. (Fortunately, there's not many with this problem, see today's ludicrous pop scene.) and fortunately `Commercial Suicide' does have a few imperfections to keep the `rock' intellectual happy. (It often puzzles me why sweet, melodic music like this is perceived as `difficult' and only attracts pseuds and students, while monstrous sexist TUNELESS rappers and their ilk, inhabit the upper reaches of the charts and win awards. Go figure, then e-mail me with the answer.)You could (perhaps) opine that `Commercial Suicide' is too relentlessly, forcibly beautiful, but again, I'm not sure this is a down. Is it supposed to, at certain points, deliberately fail? Just a thought...
Not `Not To' then, but a sensibly creationist semi-follow up, with Newman having enormous fun with an enormous music, and you also get the added `bonus' of him talking utter tosh over an ambient style backing for 10 minutes, as an extra track, (WHAT!?...exactly.) where our hero semi-seriously bemoans the fact that even if he got himself arrested, he'd NEVER make the tabloids
Being honest, this is unique. The title half gives it away, it IS an extremely commercial sound, but Colin Newman knows that he, most definitely isn't.
And being more honest, I kinda like it like that. Best kept secrets etc, I wouldn't begrudge him a few quid though. Perhaps those Belgians......

Can I keep you guessing.......2004-05-16

I bought this just recently and I got quite a shock when I heard this. It wasn't like Wire's punky stuff or even their synthy stuff. It just sounded so alien and strange. Plus there was no beats which kinda gave it this world of it's own. I don't know why I found this in the world section because it could have easily be put in at the rock/pop section but that doesn't matter really. The music sounds haunted and Newman's vocals backed up by his wife Malka Spigel's rather ghostly vocals give up this rather spooky quality. I don't mean spooky in a " give me the creeps " sort of way - just a calm effect that you weren't expecting.

The interview part is hilarious since Colin really has nothing to say and is talking " virtual rubbish " throughout the course of the interview. He says at one point " I'm not getting paid for this. Maybe I should!" and then we have the remix of the interview which has some things you might have missed out on from the original review. It's good fun and if you feel like joining in the fun you can always turn it off when Colin says for you to turn it off....but then you could always disobey

Who needs a music CD when you can sit back, relax, put on the headphones and listen to George talking all day long!!! It's like he's whispering in your ears!!!

You must buy this interview CD if you are a fan of George Clooney (and even if you are not). There's no music, just George being interviewed.

This is an interview with the who you are better without! The interviewer has a strange accent which is almost impossible to decipher. Roger and John are asked silly questions and get quite irritated. All this on top of terrible backgroud noise and the fact that (in certain points) the interviewer has the mike too close to the tape machine, and the tape machine is VERY noisy. Other sections are recorded in a car and a hotel lobby where the phone keeps ringing! If you want professional iterviews with the who, sitck to promos like 'filling in the gaps' or 'talking about quadrophenia' to get real quality and quantity.
