DR FEELGOOD - STUPIDITY

DR FEELGOOD - STUPIDITY

I saw these guys at the local poly on a mixed bill with sound issues but they blew the place apart (possible the fuses too!) They really shocked me and I went straight out and bough the 12” EP single ‘STUPIDITY’
We miss Wilco and I had never seen anyone play the telecaster quite like this . . . . .the whirling dervish of rock!
Kostas says:
"Dr. Feelgood are an English pub rock band formed in 1971. Hailing from Canvey Island, Essex, the group are best known for early singles such as "She Does It Right", "Roxette", "Back in the Night" and "Milk and Alcohol". The group's original distinctively British R&B sound was centred on Wilko Johnson's choppy guitar style. “ read the rest here . . . .

On this day in music history: January 4, 1967 - “The Doors”, the debut album by The Doors is released. Produced by Paul A. Rothchild, it is recorded at Sunset Sound Recorders in Hollywood, CA from August 24 - 31, 1966. The L.A. based rock band are signed to a contract by Elektra Records founder Jac Holzman after seeing them perform at the Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood, CA. The album is recorded on a four track multi-track tape machine in only six days of studio time. Consisting of mostly original material (and two covers from their live act), the album initially gets off to a slow start, when the first single “Break On Through (To The Other Side)” does not chart, but the bands’ fortunes change dramatically with the release of the second single “Light My Fire” (#1 Pop). In time it is regarded as one of the most important and influential rock albums of the era. Issued both in mono and stereo, the mono version of the album differs significantly from its stereo counterpart. The mono LP version of “Light My Fire” appears in its original recorded speed, while the more common stereo mix is slightly slower. The mono mix of the final track “The End” features Jim Morrison saying the words “f***, f***, f***” during his extended monologue, while the original stereo version have the expletives mixed out (though a later stereo remix restores them to the track). In April of 2008, the mono version of the album is remastered and reissued on vinyl as part of “The Doors -Vinyl Box” set for Record Store Day. Limited to 12,500 copies, it sells out of its pressing soon after its release. It is the first time this version of the album has been available since being deleted in 1968. In November of 2010, Rhino Records reissues the mono LP individually (limited to 3,000 copies) on Black Friday Record Store Day. “The Doors” spends two weeks at number two on the Billboard Top 200, and is certified 4x Platinum in the US by the RIAA , and is inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame in 2002.
Looking Back (1995)Just an Old Fashioned Blues Band… Sorta. It’s probably a bit of overkill for the casual fan, but this five disc box gathers together a bulk of Dr. Feelgood’s finest early material – a nervous, wired, jittery form of basic blues – and mixes it with the band’s lesser known work from later years… music that has its moments, but lacks some of the gritty essence of the hell-raising terrors that torn through the Pre-Wave movement when guitarist Wilco Johnson was rallying the charge. Disc 5 is filled with interview segments and radio shows that, while telling the band’s story, has limited re-listening value… especially when the edgy drinking man’s blues/rock of 1975’s Down By The Jetty and Malpractice and 1977’s Be Seeing You and Sneakin’ Suspicion are actively calling for your time and attention from other discs. Still… as the band soldiered on with yearly releases, until slowing at the turn of the century, lead singer Lee Brilleaux’s Dr. Feelgood kept the faith, if not quite as many fans, and this box captures the highs of all the band’s highs and lows
