Hey, cats and kittens, it's me, you're old pal Will bringing you another fresh episode of Vinyl-O-Matic. We are set to continue our journey through singles with a-sides that begin with the letter S as in Sierra. This should be a super fun one, so let us get things started off with the one, the only... Brian Eno. Now that was some fine monkeying around from Lancelot Link and the Evolution Revolution, bringing us a tune originally written for The Grass Roots, but usurped by the mediocre sitcom simians of Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp. We heard both the stereo version and the mono version released on ABC Records in 1971. The set kicked off with not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, but seven, seven! Deadly Finns by Brian Eno. The flipside is a fine instrumental with some quality Frippertronics with Robert Fripp. That is on Island Records from 1974. And now we are all set for some compare and contrast. Are your feathers all secured? Let's shake it! Phew, those were some movers all right. Things started off with the original recording of "Shake a Tail Feather", co-written by the late great Andre Williams, as performed by The Five Du-Tones on One-derful! Records in 1963, with the novelty b-side "Divorce Court". We then heard James & Bobby Purify with their version that reached all the way up to number 25 on the Hot 100, released on Bell Records in 1967. Both versions have their merits, as does the version that Ray Charles performs in the "Blues Brothers" movie. Before we continue, let me remind you that KWTF is an all-volunteer, non-profit, community radio station. We very much rely on the support of listeners like yourselves. Guess what?! You can help KWTF out by acquiring this year's Vinyl-O-Matic t-shirt, expressly designed for you... the talented listener.

Slim Harpo or the Stones? Well, the original flavor certainly tastes the best to me. That last set started off with Slim's "Shake Your Hips" and the flipside "Midnight Blues". That is on Excello Records from 1965. We followed that up with "Shakin' All Over" by Guess Who. No really, The Guess Who. The implied who can be heard a little clearer on the very Beatlesque b-side "Till We Kissed". That is from 1965 on Sceptre Records. Now that our shaking is all over, it's kind of a shame. Hoo boy, you can really feel the fern bar Regal Beagle vibes coming off that a-side from Dr. Hook. "Sharing the Night Together" along with the Shel Silverstein penned "You Make My Pants Want to Get Up and Dance" is from yes, 1978 on Capitol Records. That was preceded by San Francisco's own Bobby "Do You Want to Dance" Freeman. We heard "Shame on You Miss Johnson" backed with "Need Your Love" on Josie records from 1958. Hot stuff! That wraps things up for this episode of Vinyl-O-Matic. As always, if you have any questions or comments, please drop me a line: will(at)vinylomatic(dot)com.
