Link Wray - Link Wray

"Link Wray" è uno dei ritorni più ispirati e genuini della storia del rock, un album che segna un passaggio, quello dall'egemonia della British Invasion alla stagione frammentata e idiosincratica degli anni settanta. Insomma: un classico.

Negli anni cinquanta Link Wray era uno dei più radicali chitarristi di una scena rock strumentale vivace e in crescita, nel 1971 invece viveva nella fattoria di famiglia e nessuna major aveva intenzione di bussare alla porta di un quarantaduenne nativo americano. Eppure “Link Wray” è uno dei ritorni più ispirati e genuini della storia del rock, un album che segna un passaggio, quello…

The Dave Clark Five - Anyway You Want It (1965)

It’s funny that at one time the Dave Clark Five were second only to the Beatles.  They don’t get much respect, but this tune is an absolute stonker!

"Freddie Mercury was like a very rare gem or a rare painting. There will never be another like him."

"That was the kind, caring and generous one. In private Freddie was very different from the outrageous performer you saw onstage. He was so thoughtful. When we were recording in the Abbey Road studio he used to bring in a big hamper packed full with exotic food including caviar, salmon, different cheeses and his favourite Cristal champagne. In private he really was a lovely and caring man. And his generosity went far beyond his closest friends and fellow workers. Total strangers regularly benefited from his kindness.

If something came up on TV about someone in financial trouble he would send off a cheque anonymously through one of his companies. I remember him sending a cheque off a couple who were out of work and whose house had been repossessed. He did things like that so many times.

He would see something on the news or be told about someone's hardship and immediately reach for a chequebook. He liked real people. He may have been larger than life and one of the world's best performers when he was on stage but in private he was very, very human. It's the old story of the comedian who makes everybody laugh on stage, but off stage has a lot of sadness and sensitivity. You must never believe or be taken by the image."

“We’d already toured with the Dave Clark Five in late 1964 and often, to my ears, we blew them off the stage,” said Graham Nash of the Hollies. “I didn’t hang out with Dave – and I didn’t particularly like him. He was aloof and condescending, just a mediocre drummer … They thought they were the Beatles – and they weren’t. Their songs just didn’t cut it … On the last night of the tour, the Dave Clark Five were in the middle of their big number ‘Bits and Pieces’ when Eric Haydock and Peter Quaife, the Kinks’ bass player, took a huge bolt cutter to the stage power and cut those fuckers dead. Served ‘em right.”

Excerpt from the Tiger Beat magazine column "From London with Luv" by Chrissie Shrimpton, October 1966 issue🌱

"You may have seen it already-- but I am in the "Lucy Goes to London" show. For about ten seconds. It all came about very strangely. I was walking down Carnaby Street. I had my dog with me and a large basket on wheels. Somehow I managed to tangle the lead with the basket. All my shopping went all over the place. In the midst of this confusion, an American walked up. He asked me if I was a model. I said no. Was I a mod? No, again. Then he asked me if I wanted to be in the "Lucy Goes to London" show. I thought he was kidding. But next day I had a call from producers of the show. I was in🍂

I appear in a scene with Jenny Boyd (Pattie's sister), Samantha Juste, (She goes out with Paul Ryan) and Twiggy🪴

Twiggy is a model. She has huge eyes. And no one believes that she calls herself Twiggy. We were involved in a sequence with The Dave Clark Five. The idea was that they should run in and grab our hands. That was the idea!🍃

What they actually did was to pick us up and carry us off. This was fine. The only problem was that no one told us! The whole thing was filmed to the accompaniment of our bewildered screams. But it will probably look good."🍁
