DOWNLOAD NO.60 - DADDY COOL

Legendary Aussie band Daddy Cool had 3 major singles:

"Eagle Rock" released early 1971 was their first. It was named the second-best Australian song of all time at the 2001 APRA Awards. “Eagle Rock” has been released on CD a million times by now. Buried in my collection of CDs I have the 1992 remixes with dance versions etc…it has been a staple at parties since it was released.

Their second single "Come Back Again" was released in September 1971 and reached #3. “Come Back Again” had been on CD too but always the single edit until 2007 when finally the long version was transferred to CD. Buried in my collection I have the maxi 12” single of this one which has a much better bass line than the CD version.

"Hi Honey Ho" their third single, was released in December 1971 and reached #16 in 1972. It too has always been released as the 3 minute single mix on CD, as the album master with the long 6 minute version has been “lost” for a long time - but recently found!

NB. At the bottom of this blog page is the song "The Moment " by group "Mondo Rock" which is a post "Daddy Cool" band which featured Ross Wilson, lead vocalist of DC.

Here is the link to the ultra rare maxi 12” single version of "Hi Honey Ho" transferred by moi. I hope you like it as much as I do, it's a killer track!

DOWNLOAD NO.59 - ROBIN JOLLEY

ROBIN JOLLEY WAS CALLED INTO FABLE MUSIC TO REWORK THE LEAD VOCAL TRACK OF A BRIAN CADD SONG, "MARSHALL'S PORTABLE MUSIC MACHINE", WHICH WAS A TOKYO SONG FESTIVAL ENTRY HURRIEDLY PUT TOGETHER IN 1972 BY CADD....IF YOU LISTEN CAREFULLY THE ORIGINAL CADD VOCALS SURFACE IN PLACES JUST UNDER ROBIN'S AND THE CHORUS STILL HAS CADD'S VOCALS EVIDENT. AFTER HIS REWORKED VOCALS WERE ADDED, ROBIN THOUGHT HE WOULD FADE INTO OBSCURITY BUT HIS SONG WAS NUMBER ONE IN MELBOURNE AND TOP 20 IN JAPAN - AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE BLUE COVER OF THE E. P. RECORD THERE WAS ALSO A JAPANESE VERSION OF THE SONG. IT WAS A MASSIVE ONE-HIT-WONDER....

ROBIN DID A BIT OF TELEVISION ACTING C.1977 AND WAS IN "YOUNG RAMSAY" AS WELL AS CONTINUING TO SELL OTHER NON-CHARTING SINGLES AND ALBUMS OVER THE YEARS.

ROBIN'S HIT SINGLE IS ARCHIVED IN THE TOP 500 FOR THE 1970S AT NUMBER 322. NONE OF HIS OTHER SINGLES MADE IT.

"MARSHALL'S PORTABLE MUSIC MACHINE" HAS BEEN RELEASED ON FABLE FROM THE START C. D. WHICH IS PROBABLY DELETED NOWADAYS. IT ALSO APPEARED ON GET THAT JIVE C.D. WHICH CAME OUT IN 2007.

JUST FOR ALL, I HAVE POSTED THE WELL KNOWN K-TEL EDIT (RE-DONE FROM C. D.), AND MY VERY OWN EXTENDED VERSION WHICH RUNS 4 AND A HALF MINUTES...JUST LONG ENOUGH TO ANNOY EVERYONE AT YOUR NEXT B.B.Q.
