I thought Dusty's version was only a minor hit, but I've just checked and it peaked at no. 10, much higher than I believed, so you're right, it doesn't qualify for the thread.

Apologies for posting it!

P.S. Although I'm glad I did post it, it's a brilliant track!

Vabosity's Third Anniversary Review Of The Thread - Post #29.

One of the more surprising aspects of this thread has been the large number of French tracks (most of them very good indeed) that have been submitted to it. Five of those French tracks can be found below.


France Gall - Laisse Tomber Les Filles (1964)
First submitted to the thread in June 2010.
A year before performing the winning song at the 1965 Eurovision Song Contest the delightful France Gall recorded this superb example of French Yé-Yé music.

Jacques Dutronc - Le Responsable (1969)
First submitted to the thread in June 2010.
Prior to the start of this thread I’d never heard of Jacques Dutronc, but subsequently, after reading posts by very knowledgeable contributors such as Ohglobbits and Capablanca, I soon got the impression that he was one of the best, if not the best, French artists of the sixties. Of the many fine Jacques Dutronc tracks submitted to the thread this one is my favourite, mainly because it really rocks.

Michel Polnareff - La Poupée Qui Fait Non (1966)
First submitted to the thread in August 2010.
Fabulous track by one of France’s most talented artists, Michel Polnareff, aided and abetted on guitar by one of the UK’s most talented musicians, Jimmy Page, proving that there’s nothing like a good bit of cross-Channel co-operation.

Françoise Hardy - Mon Amie La Rose (1965)
First submitted to the thread in August 2010.
Gorgeous song. Gorgeous voice. Gorgeous girl.

Michel Polnareff - Love Me Please Love Me (1966)
First submitted to the thread in September 2010.
Michel Polnareff yet again, et pourquoi pas? This track is very different from La Poupée Qui Fait Non, but just as excellent. Don’t let the English title fool you, it is sung in French.

"Everybody Gets To Go To The Moon" is a tremendous song penned by that great songwriter, Jimmy Webb. The best known version is probably the one by the Three Degrees from the seventies, but here's a very good version from the sixties:-

Vabosity's Third Anniversary Review Of The Thread - Post #30.

There is no theme to today’s post in the Third Anniversary Review. It just contains five tracks that I like a great deal that were first submitted in the early days of the thread..


The Youngbloods - Get Together (1967)
First submitted to the thread in May 2010.
This excellent song, an appeal for peace and brotherhood, was written in 1963 by singer-songwriter, Dino Valenti (later a member of that fine band, Quicksilver Messenger Service). There have been several cover versions of the song throughout the years; this one by the Youngbloods is my favourite by a country mile.

Peggy Lee - Is That All There Is? (1969)
First submitted to the thread in June 2010.
The definitive version of Leiber and Stoller’s magnificent ode to disillusionment, with orchestral arrangements by the great Randy Newman, and words sung (but mainly spoken) by legendary Jazz singer Peggy Lee; I have no hesitation in calling this track a masterpiece.

Little Anthony and the Imperials - Going Out Of My Head (1964)
First submitted to the thread in June 2010.
Many respected artists (including Ella Fizgerald, Frank Sinatra and Shirley Bassey) have recorded this fine song, but my favourite version is the original by Little Anthony and the Imperials.

The Essex - Easier Said Than Done (1963)
First submitted to the thread in June 2010.
A track I’m particularly fond of, although as there's nothing that special about it, I cannot honestly say why.

Arthur Alexander - Anna (1962)
First submitted to the thread in September 2010.
The original version of a superb song famously covered by the Beatles on their debut album.

This may raise a few eyebrows.

Did Guy Chambers and a certain Mister Robbie Williams nick a certain riff?

I believe Chambers and Williams may have sampled the Francoise Hardy song. It wouldn't be the first time they did that. They blatantly sampled Nancy Sinatra's "You Only Live Twice" for their song "Millennium".

Oh yes! Had forgotten that one, there is also
Lily Allen's Alfie and
Sandie Shaw's Puppet on a String
Which is the SAME Flippin' Melody!!

You've supplied the link to the Lily Allen song twice, but I know "Puppet On A String" well enough to see where you're coming from.

Has Lily Allen ever written an original melody? Another one of her songs - forget its title - sounds exactly like "Yellow Submarine".

You're right Lily's "It's not fair" sounds like "Ghost riders in the sky" to me

Vabosity's Third Anniversary Review Of The Thread - Post #31.

Some splendid Surf instrumentals have been submitted to the thread over the last three and a third years, and five of them can be found below.


Jack Nitzsche - The Lonely Surfer (1963)
First submitted to the thread in June 2010.
An absolute gem by Jack Nitzsche, a very talented guy with many strings to his bow. Please click here for his Wikipedia entry, which is well worth a read.

Dick Dale - Hava Nagila (1963)
First submitted to the thread in August 2010.
There have been several versions (vocal and instrumental) of this Jewish traditional folk song over the years, but nobody has ever done it quite like Dick Dale, King of the Surf Guitar.

The Chantays - Pipeline (1963)
First submitted to the thread in August 2010.
Two superb Surf instrumentals made the UK singles chart in 1963. There was Wipe Out by the Surfaris, which was a very big UK hit (and which you’re sure to find on the 1960’s Appreciation Thread in the Music Appreciation sub-forum), and there was Pipeline by the Chantays, which regrettably was only a minor UK hit, even though imho it’s just as good as Wipe Out.

Dick Dale - Misirlou (1962)
First submitted to the thread in December 2010.
You can never have too much Dick Dale, so here he is again with what is arguably his greatest ever track. Quentin Tarantino’s decision to have this play over the opening credits of Pulp Fiction was inspired.

The Lively Ones - Surf Rider (1963)
First submitted to the thread in October 2012.
As the previous track is the Surf instrumental that’s played over the opening credits of Pulp Fiction, I think it’s apt that the final track in my selection should be the very different sounding, but just as excellent Surf instrumental that’s played over the film’s closing credits.

Further to all the recent posts about Robbie Williams and Lily Allen "borrowing" riffs and melodies from sixties songs, a good case can be made for three of the biggest bands of the seventies doing exactly the same:-


Did Led Zeppelin "borrow" the famous intro to their 1971 classic "Stairway To Heaven" from this instrumental track recorded three years earlier?

Spirit - Taurus (1968)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd8AVbwB_6E


Did Deep Purple "borrow" the famous riff from their 1970 hit single "Black Night" from this great track recorded eight years earlier?

Rick Nelson - Summertime (1962)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izsVZup02-4


And did they "borrow" the even more famous riff to their 1972 classic "Smoke On The Water" from this little known Jazz track recorded seven years earlier?

Astrud Gilberto and Gil Evans - Maria Quiet (1965)
http://studio.wp.pl/i,Astrud-Gilbert...?ticaid=111665


Finally, did the Eagles "borrow" the entire melody of their massive 1977 hit single "Hotel California" from this album track recorded eight years earlier?

Jethro Tull - We Used To Know (1969)

Cheers.

After the conversation Radio Ruderham and I recently had on this thread with regard to Robbie W. and Lily A. "borrowing" from other songs I decided to look online for some other examples and came across those four in my last post quite quickly.

Johnny Ace died in 1954 after playing Russian Roulette, so this is obviously a re-release. Good track though.

i should have read the wiki article i posted , that says he was arsing about with a gun he thought wasnt loaded... sounds like he was a complete ****!

im just going through this catalogue, if the date says 60's, i include it , a task which should see this thread going for another 3 - 5 years!

when complete it should be the biggest collection on the internet of rare 60's tracks..

ps... please continue to post tracks and comment on ones posted.

doesnt matter if tracks are repeated, as long as they are 'rare' and from the 60's, not sure that badfinger track is! (without researching it)
