Don and the Goodtimes The Original Northwest Sound Of (Vinyl)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: The Original Northwest Sound OfCondition: NewFormat: VinylDescription: Rave-up & turn on! Fueled by a classy high-stepping image and hot instrumental licks born of old R&B and Northwest stalwarts the Kingsmen, Wailers and Sonics, this collection shows their always excellent material ranging from '60s punk to sunshine pop - Includes their debut single! In many ways they were one of the quintessential Northwest bands. Their credentials were impeccable - leader Don Gallucci was a classically trained pianist who, as a younger teenager, played keyboards for the Kingsmen on "Louie, Louie." Early guitarist Pete Oulette had been in the Raiders and his replacement, Jim Valley, had founded the white hot Seattle band the Viceroys. When Valley got the call to become "Harpo," his slot was filled by Charlie Coe, who had played with the Raiders and Jack Ely and the Courtmen. And the last Goodtime guitarist was Joey Newman, who had made his mark with the Enchanters and Merrilee Rush and the Turnabouts. Their only hit single, "I Could Be So Good to You," a Jack Nitzsche song, was their only national hit (#56) in spring 1967. Their Nitzsche-produced Epic album So Good was a curious amalgam of Overman originals and British Invasion covers. Their earlier sound is much more raw - "You Were Just a Child" could have been a national hit. The dynamics and bridge in this are killer, as is the pulverizing fuzz bass. "I'm Real" may be the punkiest Don and the Goodtimes got; Note the cool reference to LA disc jockey "The Real" Don Steele. Other cuts like like "Make It" are as Northwest as they come. Rough and raunchy, this hot instrumental was the B side of their first single.Artist: Don and the GoodtimesNo Of Discs: 2Country/Region of Manufacture: USARecord Label: BeatrocketEAN: 0090771018212Release Date: 05/24/2024Color: Yellow coloured vinylEdition: 12" Album Coloured VinylGenre: R&B/SoulStyle: R&BMPN: LPBEAT182CRelease Year: 2024Tracks: Disc 11: The Witch2: Make It3: Long Green4: Bent Scepter5: There's Something On Your Mind6: Tall Cool One7: Straight Scepter8: Big Big Knight (On a Big White Horse)9: Little Sally Tease10: I'm Real11: Hey There Mary Mae12: Stagger Lee13: Blue Turns to GreyDisc 21: Louie Louie2: Turn On3: Money4: Jolly Green Giant5: Little Latin Lupe Lu6: You Were Just a Child7: Running Not Walking8: Lip Service9: You Did It Before10: High Heel Sneakers11: And It's So Good12: I Could Be So Good to You Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
