The Great Alvin Lee. He passed away in 2013 from surgery gone bad in Spain at 68 years of age.  He still had some good years left. He was best known for his blistering performance at Woodstock in 1969 with Ten Years After, but had a killer solo career as well.

Letra

Everywhere is freaks and hairies Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity?

Tax the rich, feed the poor 'Til there are no rich no more

I'd love to change the world But I don't know what to do So I'll leave it up to you

Population keeps on breeding Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy Life is funny, skies are sunny Bees make honey, who needs money? Monopoly

I'd love to change the world But I don't know what to do So I'll leave it up to you Oh, yeah

World pollution, there's no solution Institution, electrocution Just black or white, rich or poor Them and us, stop the war

I'd love to change the world But I don't know what to do So I'll leave it up to you

Album Number Three Hundred Thirteen. “One of the Boys” is the third studio solo album by #rogerdaltrey. It was released in 1977, on Polydor in the UK, and #mcarecords, in the US. The sessions were recorded at the Who's Ramport Studios during the winter of 1976 (vocals were recorded at #pathemarconistudios in Paris, due to tax complications), and Daltrey allowed students from the local Battersea technical school to film them as an educational project. This also marked the first time that Daltrey had written or co-written a song since "Here For More" (released as the B-side of the Who's "The Seeker") in 1970, and Lisztomania in 1975. Daltrey's original choice for producers were #JerryLeiber and #mikestoller, but they declined. My copy is on MCA Records - MCA-2271. #goldhawkeproductions #theseventies When #leosayer launched his own career as a singer, Daltrey called on a widening group of friends to write for and perform on his albums. #paulmccartney contributed the new song "Giddy" to #oneoftheboysvinyl where the band included Hank B. Marvin of the Shadows, #ericclapton, #AlvinLee and #mickronson as well as calling on a member of the Who, #johnentwistle. #JimmyMcCulloch #AndyFairweatherLow. https://www.instagram.com/p/CcVzzK1u8fk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Between Christmas songs, I jammed “A Space in Time” from Ten Years After. A solid piece of work; and I always listen to "I'd Love to Change the World" 3-4 times—such a good tune.

KISS MAYHEM Three attacks by the US destroyers

KISS, US kings of heavy rock in heavy make-up, are at last to play three gigs in Britain next month.

Despite the transatlantic publicity they have so far made little impact on record here but their fourth UK album ‘Destroyer’ will be released on Casablanca to coincide.

The label also plan to back up the full frontal assault on the British market with giveaways at the concerts including arm bands and Kiss masks and a TV advertising campaign.

The dates are: Manchester Free Trade Hall May 13, Birmingham Odeon 14, Hammersmith Odeon 15. The band may use their own jet-liner on the tour.

‘UNOFFICIAL’ FLOYD A PINK FLOYD single taken from ‘Wish You Were Here’ is being released in this country in a special limited edition of 10,000.

It will be ‘Have A Cigar’ b/w ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ and comes through an exclusive distribution deal arranged by Lightning Records with the Dutch company who originally released it.

The last of the official Floyd singles released in the UK was ‘Point Me At The Sky’ and they have recently again vetoed any further single releases here, though they put them out in every other record buying country, because of what they regard as the lightweight pop image of the charts here.

ALVIN, FAIRPORT IN FOOTBALL FEST BANK HOLIDAY Monday is now set to be the biggest day ever in live rock in the UK – another huge football ground festival probably starring Alvin Lee has been announced, coinciding with the Who and Co. putting the boot in at Charlton (see opposite page).

The Southend Charity Festival Committee say that contracts are expected to be signed this week for a line-up starring Alvin and Friends, Budgie, and the debut of the new Fairport Convention.

Support acts planned are The Dave Bromberg Band, Magna Carta, the Mickey Jupp Band and Crossbreed with our very own John Peel compering.

Confirmation came from the business end Alvin and the Fairports that they were likely to do the gig though it was still being negotiated – neither band’s line-up has yet been announced.

The Festival is run for the benefit of Christian Aid relief and development projects in the third world.

It starts at 11 am and runs through to 9pm at Southend United Football Ground. Tickets are now on sale from the ground in Victoria Avenue at £2 though they will be £2.50 on the day. Postal applicants should send an SAE with cheques and postal orders made out to ‘Southend Sounds ’76.’

SOME OF THESE KNIGHTS GLADYS KNIGHT And The Pips will tour Britain later this month doing two shows a night in five venues, her last visit for some time as she is pregnant.

The dates are: Bournemouth Winter Gardens April 23, Manchester Palace 24, Southport New Theatre 25, London New Victoria 27, Birmingham Odeon 30.

They will be bringing their own rhythm section and the tour coincides with the UK release of their States hit ‘Midnight Train To Georgia’.

Gladys is also starring in a movie titled ‘Pipedreams’ due for release in Britain in the autumn.

STILL NO TUBES Tubes’ record company A&M say that they cannot tour the UK in May as their new album ‘Young and Rich’ (produced by Ken Scott who worked on the Supertramp albums) will be released then and they will be touring the States to promote it.

But they have been trying to arrange a London venue to do a possible week of shows later in the year as well as provincial dates and A&M said they were “virtually certain” to come to Britain in ’76.

The great Alvin Lee.  He died in Spain in 2013 from a relatively common procedure on his heart to address an irregular heartbeat. Surgery went bad. Tragic loss.
