33 & A Nerd #12: You Can Hear The Beards

 



With the ever popular team of Ola, Blue Paul & Dr J on the line we address the latters bug bear - "authenticity in music". where b&w photographs suggest serious and sincere, humour has no home
and selling out is not an option

We also discuss those dream / missed / cancelled and downright terrific gigs we've moved heaven, earth and bank balance to see plus the retirement of a giant American television pioneer.

Yes! We talk about something that isn't music on the twelfth '33 & A Nerd' podcast!

Please - you're welcome to pull up a chair and listen - we won't 'jardine' you.

As we say many times throughout the podcast, Ace Records are your first stop shop for all things girl pop but we specifically recommend

Girls With Guitars Vol.I
Destroy That Boy: Girls With Guitars Vol.II
and the newly released
The Rebel Kind: Girls With Guitars Vol.III

And their monumental 'Where The Girls Are' 8 volume (so far) series which kicks off with 'Condition Red' by 'The Goodees' 
Where The Girls Are Vol.I

All Shangri-Las is good but this catch-all comp is tough to beat buy here

The wonderful Light In The Attic Records are responsible for unearthing the solid gold class of Honey Ltd.
Honey Ltd : the Complete LHI Recordings

The Liverbirds complete discography is available on one handy CD 
From Merseyside To Hamburg: The Complete Star-Club Recordings
from (yes, you guessed it) Ace Records. 

Here are the band shaking up a storm on the very first episode of German TV's legendary 'Beat Club'.

The biker on the 'He's A Rebel' sleeve was a far less threatening prospect than the song or other pop culture of the time made him out to be. 

As The Whyte Boots sound in their dramatic disc 'Nightmare' - they are not to be messed with.

The Marvelettes 'Twistin' Postman' perhaps had a little more about it in the live version - see what you think.

The long deleted but wonderfully packaged 'One Kiss Can lead To Another: Girl Group Sounds Lost And Found' can be picked up new and used from the tax dodgers if you're feeling flush.

And finally here are The Shangri-las standing on a street corner chatting about their guys.
