Substantial Evidence - Death Angel (1968) | GUESS I'M DUMB

all the way from Biloxi ,Mississippi and way back from ’68!

 

Substantial Evidence - Death Angel (1968)

"Both band name and song title led me to expect something very different from this alluring psych pop tune - think the Left Banke without the strings. Substantial Evidence were from Biloxi, Mississippi. I’m guessing they made the drive down to New Orleans, as the great Cosimo Matassa engineered the track. Released on the wonderfully named Groovy Grape label” Guess I’m Dumb.

Girlfriends,Muses Girlfriends Partners etc | JANE ASHER [‘Alfie’]

 

the stunningly beautiful Jane Asher actor and creator

Beautiful Jane Asher photographed during the filming of Alfie in 1965. 

Scans come from Italy magazine ABC, August 29th 1965 issue. 

From eBay auction listing. 

Alfie wasn't released until March 24th, 1966.

I wondered who played the bikers in the film as this guy looked like comic actor Roy Kinnear I thought but in the shot below it could well be the guy on the right who clearly isn’t Roy. Lots of other British bit part actors occurred in it

what CAN they have suggested!!

Remembering Jeff Beck (24 June 1944 – 10 January 2023)

 

With a headstock that looks like it could slice sushi, the pink Jackson Soloist is a dangerous-looking guitar. And an actual knife is part of its story. Beck used the Jackson when he worked with Tina Turner on the album Private Dancer. He had been in awe of Turner since the 1960s, when he briefly toured with the singer and her husband Ike, but at that time he was too shy to speak to her.

At the end of the Private Dancer session in 1984, Beck asked Turner to sign the guitar. She first autographed it in felt pen, but it was clear that it would not last. So instead she produced a knife from her bag and carved her name into the pink finish. She then rubbed green nail polish into the jagged letters to make them visible and permanent.

The ‘Tina’, as it became known, can be heard on Beck’s duet with Rod Stewart, ‘People Get Ready’, on the 1985 album Flash, produced by Nile Rodgers. It was Beck’s first reunion with the singer he had introduced to the world in the Jeff Beck Group in 1967, along with a young Ronnie Wood. Beck memorably appears in the video, breezily riding an open boxcar and miming the Jackson solo on a Fender Telecaster.
