BAE Vantare V12 (1 of 10). 

British Automotive Engineering (BAE) is currently working on a new Bond-style sports car in Essex, Great Britain. Of course, it will be a grand tourer with a V12 under the hood. To avoid having to start on a blank sheet of paper, the BAE team led by actor and TV presenter Bradley Walsh looked around intensively and finally selected a good existing base. This comes from the Aston Martin DB9, which rolled off the production line at Gaydon between 2004 and 2016. By using base cars that have already been approved, it is possible to concentrate on other things that have to be developed. Only the roof and windows remain from the original body. All other body parts are given a new look in the style of classic sports cars, such as those driven by Sean Connery as James Bond 007. State-of-the-art hybrid materials such as carbon fiber composite are used for this purpose.

An the end, the newly created vehicle goes by the name of Vantare and is limited to just ten units. All upcoming owners will be able to configure their respective cars completely freely. In addition to colors for the paint and interior, this also includes mechanical upgrades that provide more power. Without these modifications, the six-liter V12 with automatic transmission already ensures that the Vantare accelerates from a standstill to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and on to a topspeed in excess of 180 mph. Leather upholstery is available in a choice of smooth or suede and in modern or classic colors. There are also polished aluminium elements and hand-finished exposed carbon trim. Standard equipment also includes an advanced infotainment system with nine-inch touchscreen display, navigation system, DAB radio as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Hey gang, I'm sorry posts have slowed recently. In between Suede tour and day job stuff I've been a bit busy! I got COVID at the Essex gig and was down for a week or so but I'm back up and running. I work full time and have some chronic health problems so I'm going to be a bit more lax with the posting schedule - but I can assure you they are indeed coming! I've also got a write up about the summer gigs I went to coming as well as a few other both Suede and non Suede pieces elsewhere, so I shall keep you all posted.

Today's compilation:

Baby Boomer Classics: Rockin' Seventies 1990 Hard Rock / Blues-Rock / Rock & Roll / Progressive Rock / Glam Rock

Feel like I just listened to a Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack with this one 😂. Good selection and variety of early-to-mid 70s stuff that's pretty perfect for a road trip when you're in one of those easygoing classic rock kinda moods. Almost like you've tuned in to the most generic classic rock station in the US without having to be interrupted by commercials, traffic reports, and station IDs 😎. Basically tailgate or barbecue music for white people who lived through 'Nam.

Most interesting story behind any of these tunes is probably the one for Bachman-Turner Overdrive's "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet," which at this point feels like a song that's just going to continue to be used indefinitely in order to keep selling outdoorsy brands of jeans to touch-of-grey guys who go fishing with their golden labs. But do you have any idea how dangerously close we actually came to never hearing this thing?! "YASNY" was originally intended to be recorded in a single take as a joke for lead-singer-and-guitarist Randy Bachman's brother, Gary, and it also served as a 'work track' for the band in order for them to get their setups sounding right too. It wasn't supposed to ever be made public, but when their guy at Mercury Records proved unenthused with the output for the band's third album, Not Fragile, it was then suggested as a possible option, and immediately became the lead single as a result, and now it's fondly remembered as one of classic rock's most quintessential hits. So, if you think about all of this in a somewhat paradoxical kind of way, by recording an album that was believed to be lackluster, we actually ended up getting one of the two songs that went on to define BTO's entire career; and had they recorded something only slightly better at first, the only song that most of us probably would've ever ended up remembering them by instead would've been the far cheesier "Takin' Care of Business." So, go figure, huh?

And another song that deserves some space here is David Essex's extremely quiet and glammy classic, "Rock On," which became a #5 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in the winter of 1974. This is a tune in which Essex posits that rock & roll has reached a crossroads. He cycles through the genre's history by making reference to some of its big early hits, like Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues" and Carl Perkins' "Blue Suede Shoes," but then he asks the question, "and where do we go from here?" And that would appear to be answered by this very song in and of itself, which daringly decides to not even incorporate any guitar, suggesting that maybe a next possible phase for rock could be one that actually strips it of its own signature instrument? 🤷‍♂️ Pretty cunning and clever, I think. Guy sounds a little like Anthony Kiedis too, and I wonder if that's pure coincidence or if Kiedis actually drew any inspiration from him 🤔.

Exemplary piece of power pop brilliance in The Raspberries' "Go All the Way," UK band The Hollies doing their own swamp rock impersonation of Credence Clearwater Revival in "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress," and the warm and lovely Rhodes piano-filled "Ride Captain Ride" by Blues Image too. Sweet crop of 70s tunes, overall, even if a lot of it's been way overplayed at this point. Pretty fundamental for those who wanna get to know some big rock hits from the front half of this decade.

Highlights:

The Raspberries - "Go All the Way" Argent - "Hold Your Head Up" Golden Earring - "Radar Love" The Hollies - 'Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" Elton John - "Crocodile Rock" Eric Clapton - "I Shot the Sheriff" Foghat - "Slow Ride" Blues Image - "Ride Captain Ride" Bachman-Turner Overdrive - "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" David Essex - "Rock On"
