Small Faces – Greatest Hits Album Cover Picture

From about 2003 to 2009, I didn’t own a record/stereo player because my last stereo /record player broke.  At the end of 2009, my mum gave me her old record player, which came from the early 1980’s.  So due to getting this old record player, I got out all of my old records and cleaned them all.  One of the records I played again was my Small Faces record.  I was and still am very much fond of this record.  Such great songs!

Two weeks ago I was watching a show on TV called “British Invasion: Small Faces”.  On this show, I saw all of these archival music videos of the Small Faces, which I hadn’t seen before.  Boy was I very impressed with these videos.  I especially liked the videos: “Happydaystoytown”, “Song of a Baker”, “Tin Soldier”, an instrumental song called “Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake” and “Here Comes the Nice”.

Steve Marriott in 1968 or 1969

I was really impressed with each of these Small Faces videos because of Steve Marriott who was the lead singer/guitarist in the band.  In all of these video clips Steve Marriott sings really well, is very talented at playing the guitar, is very good looking, and wears trendy/hip clothes.

I really love the video clip called “Happydaystoystown” because the clothes Steve Marriott wears in the clip, the fab singing in the clip and the enigmatic moves of Steve Marriott and the rest of the band in the clip.

I really love and enjoy the “Song of a Baker” video clip because Steve Marriott of the Small Faces in the clip does some excellent and awe inspiring guitar playing and singing.  I also adore the clothes Steve Marriott wears in the Song of a Baker video clip.

Small Faces – Song Of A Baker Video- 1968

I adore the song and video called “Here comes the Nice” because the Small Faces dared to sing about something so controversial at the time, that being drugs.  The song details the bands experiences with drugs in about 1967.  From reading about the Steve Marriott from the Small Faces in Wikipedia on the Internet, I read that in the late 1960’s, Steve Marriott had taken the drugs Cannabis, speed and LSD.

Small Faces – Here Come The Nice Video

From my own point of view, I find the later Small Faces video clips ie 1967 – 1969 much more exciting and interesting than the earlier Small Faces video clips ie 1965 – 1966.  This is because in the later video clips 1967-1969 the band are wearing more interesting/hip clothes (ie not suits), they are not just playing to people in a small club, and lastly because they move around more and more enigmatically around the stage. In addition, the band members have longer hair, which I just love.

Small Faces in 1968

As I was so ecstatic about the Small Faces who I saw on TV four weeks ago, I wanted to go and buy a Small Faces DVD at a music shop.  Therefore, I went to a popular music shop about two days after seeing the Small Faces show on TV.  Much to my dismay a shop assistant at this popular music store I went to told me that all of their Small Faces, Steve Marriott and Humble Pie DVD’s had been deleted both in Australia and overseas (Steve Marriott was the lead singer/ guitarist in both the Small Faces and Humble Pie).  I was so disappointed in this!  I was much excited about eventually having my own  Small Faces, Steve Marriott or Humble Pie DVD.

I have been reading about Steve Marriott of the Small Faces on wikipedia on the Internet.  He imo lead quite an interesting life when he was alive.  (He died in 1991 when a part of a 16^th century house, which he lived in and was in at the time burnt down.  He died of smoke inhalation).

The reason why I think this is because he was married three times, had three children from three different women and tried all of these different drugs in his life.  This may not appeal to some but it seems interesting and exciting to me.

I have been told that the Steve Marriott of the Small Faces is an underrated singer/guitar player and I believe this too.  This is because I don’t hear about them in the media, but I do hear and read about bands such as Black Sabbath and Deep Purple.  These bands who in my opinion are much less talented than what the Small Faces or what Steve Marriott was!

Steve Marriott

As I wasn’t able to buy a Humble Pie or Small Faces DVD I went and bought a double Small Faces CD set three weeks ago called “Small Faces, Ultimate Collection”.

Since buying this double Small Faces CD set, I haven’t stopped listening to these CD’s.  The singing on all of the songs is very impressive, the music. lyrics are very exciting, talented and upbeat.

Small Faces in 1968 or 1969

I love most of the songs on this double CD set.  N.b what also makes this Ultimate Collection so good is also due to some of the instrumental songs on the CD’s.  One song is called “Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake”.  This song is psychedelic and groovy.

Lastly before I end, in the last year I came to know that Keith Moon of the Who’s ex wife Kim Moon married Ian Maclagan of the Small Faces in 1978.  In addition, Kim Moon was dating Rod Stewart in the early 1960’s at the same time she was dating Keith Moon.

Another fact I discovered about the Small Faces is that Steve Marriott of the Small Faces married Jenny Rylance in 1968.  Jenny Rylance an ex model also dated Rod Stewart in the 1960;s like ex-model Kim Moon dated Rod Stewart in the 1960’s! Interesting new information, I must say!

Well I think I have said enough about the Small Faces! Bye from me.

In about April of 2007 I bought the Van Halen DVD called “Van Halen Video Hits 1″. This DVD features numerous of Van Halen’s video hits starting with when DLR was on vocals with the videos “Jump” (1984) and “Panama” (1984). The videos of when Sammy Haggar was in the band starts with “When it’s love”, “Finish What Ya Started”, “Dreams” (Live at the Whisky) 1992, Human Beings (1995) then the last video is with Gary Cherome as the lead singer of the band, that video is “Without You” (1998). Without You is set in an Igloo and the song is upbeat, and Eddie is looking good again there.

 I don’t like the previous five videos before “Without You” in the DVD. All of these five videos features Sammy Hagar in the videos and these videos are all from the Balance record and the band look really daggy with their hair and clothes, the songs are boring and the videos are uninspiring. Well alot of people like Human Beings. But that song does nothing for me and I always skip over that video.

In July 2007 a friend of mine burnt a copy of the Van Halen DVD “Van Halen – The Dave Years”. This DVD features numerous of Van Halen’s in concert footage from 1978 -1985. Some of the songs include “Bottoms up”, “So this Is Love?”, “Dance The Night away”. Also included in the DVD is a music video of Pretty Woman, interviews with David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar, EVH playing the guitar, in the David Letterman studio on 1985.

This DVD is really good in that it shows a variety of different video footage.

I started to re-like listening to Blondie’s music when I was in Year 10.  In about 1993 I bought the Best of Blondie.  Some of the songs on that CD are: “The Tide is High”, “In the Flesh”, “Sunday Girl”, “Picture This” and “Rip Her to Shreds”. What I also like about the CD is the cover as it shows Debbie Harry in a really nice white dress and there are great buildings in New York shown behind the band’s photo.

About five years ago I also bought Blondie’s 1978 CD called Parallel lines.  I bought it because it’s got some really great songs in it such as ”Hanging on the Telephone”, “Sunday Girl”, “One Way or Another”, “11.59″ and “I Know But I Don’t Know” etc.

Cover Photo of Parallel Lines  

I also like a few of Blondie’s videos, which I have seen on Youtube and which I used to listen to and watch on a late night music video show called Rage.  These videos are “Rapture” and “Heart of Glass”. 

Youtube Video of Rapture

In 1998 Blondie reformed as a group and released a new album called “No Exit”.   In the same year I bought a CD single from that album which is called “Maria”.

About three years ago I rented a DVD movie with Deborah Harry in it, which is called Life Without Me (2003) In the movie Deborah Harry acts as the mother of a lady who is dying of cancer. The reason why I hired this movie is because Scott Speedman was in it and I was/ am a fan of this very attractive American actor.

That’s it for today folks.  Thanks Frances

In about 2003, I had to throw away my old record player as it wasn’t working properly anymore.  Due to that I couldn’t listen to the Donna Summer double record set anymore.  In about 2004 I bought the double CD set of the same title (Bad Girls).  Also in the same year I was doing a Communication and Media Diploma.  Part of the Diploma entailed making up a short video.  So I used the Donna Summer song “Hot Stuff” and produced a music video.  Five other people were also in the music video.  I also included a lot of different effects, which my teacher at the time helped me to do. 

Youtube video of Hot Stuff - Donna Summer

I don’t really listen to the double CD set “Bad Boys” by Donna Summer anymore as most of the songs include sappy love songs.  The songs which really stand out for me from the double CD set include Hot Stuff, Dim all the Lights and Bad Girls.  I don’t really get into constant love songs.  But I do like the CD cover, which gives the records a lift. 

Donna Summer - Bad Girls album cover

In about 2006 I bought the Best of Donna Summer at a local CD shop.  That CD has got some really great songs.  Some of which are:  Love to Love you, On the Radio (1978), Hot Stuff (1979), I Feel Love (1977), McAurthur Park (1978), I Feel Love, ”No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)” (1979), ”Last Dance” (1978), MacArthur Park (1978) (Casablanca), ”Hot Stuff” (1979),  1982: “I Feel Love” (1982)

That’s all from me today folks. Frances

Well that never eventuated because I didn’t have anyone to be in the concert with me. Plus I was way too shy to do a concert in front of the school. I also wanted to do the concert as my sister had been in one of the school concerts when she was in Year 10 with her three friends. She did the lip sync song with three of her friends called Rock Lobster by the B 52′s and came second in the competition. Also I enjoyed copying what she did when I was much younger. Not a good thing to do, I think now.

Later on in Year 11 I bought a second hand Sweet record from a local selling of goods market. The record was called “Strung UP”. Some of the songs in that record include “Hellraiser, Burning/Someone Else Will”, “Rock ‘n’ Roll Disgrace”, “Need a lot of Lovin” and “I Wanna be Committed”, “Set Me Free”. I used to play that record in a caravan I used to live in, in my parents backyard. That record is so good and I used to really enjoy listening to that record Bad think is that the live part record from Strung Up was taken out. In addition, it’s a pity that today I can’t play that record as I don’t own a record player anymore. However, a cool thing is that I still own the record.

Two years ago I bought the greatest hits from “Sweet”. It’s got some really cool hit songs like “Funny, Funny”, “Alexander Graham Bell”, “Spotlight”, “Love is like Oxygen”.

Well that’s all folks. That’s all I have to add about Sweet!

I re-started my love of The Beatles music when I was in Year 10, which was in 1989.  I remember in Year 11 that my brother bought for me a cassette by The Beatles called The Beatles Remastered, which contained The Beatles re-makes of songs by other artists, some of the songs included on the cassette were called?  I used to play that cassette on my stereo system when I was living in a caravan in my parents’ backyard.  The songs I really dug from that cassette were “Long Tall Sally” and “Twist and Shout”!!   I used to feel good and like dancing around to those songs.  I also used to constantly listen to The Beatles, Red and Blue albums when I was living in the caravan. (Today those records are a bit scratched) oops. 

Also in 1990 I bought a poster book of The Beatles.  Back in 1990 – 1995, I had some of The Beatles posters hung up on the walls in my caravan.  These posters were of The Beatles from the years 1963-1965.  Here are few photos of The Beatles from 1963 and 1965. 

The Beatles in 1963

 The Beatles in 1965

When music CD’s came out and in the years following I bought the
following Beatles CD’s: “Rubber Soul” (1965), “Beatles for Sale” (1964),
“Help” (1965), “Revolver” (1966), “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts club Band”
(1967), and “Abbey Road” (1969).  What I like about their records is their
change in music style through the years and the way they used to dress
and have their hair.  This meaning from the years 1964 – 1970. 
In my opinion their radical change and altering of music styles is
what made them so appealing.  Just from 1964 -1967, their change
from straight to psychedelic.  They changed the face of music and the
way people write music.  The Beatles made musicians want to and feel
more comfortable about veering away from writing and performing
conservatively.

to do so. That’s all from me today. 23/10/2007

Album cover of Led Zeppelin 11.

At the time that Led Zeppelin record didn’t really impress me, but later on in life i.e. at the age of sixteen and later on I began to more fully appreciate Led Zeppelin music.  This was when my sister bought the Led Zeppelin record called Led Zeppelin, in late 1989.  This was the year in which I was in year 10.   

When I was in Year 11, which was in 1990, I was living in a caravan in my parents’ backyard.  Well, the caravan was more like a bedroom and study room.  My brother actually bought the old 1960′s caravan in around 1985.  He lived in it from 1985 -1988.  Then my sister lived in it from 1988-1990.  I was living in the caravan from 1990-1995.  Back to Led Zeppelin.  In 1990 or 1991 I bought two Led Zeppelin records, these were Led Zeppelin III and House of the Holy. 

Cover photo of Led Zeppelin 111 

Now they are really great records.  I had a record player in my caravan at the time and would quiet often listen to both records. I especially liked The House of the Holy record.  The House of the Holy record has got some really groovy synthesizer effects and the guitar playing in it is really good as well. 

Photo of Led Zeppelin in 1969

When music CD’s started coming out in 1993 or 1994 I bought the Led Zeppelin CD’s: Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin 11 and Led Zeppelin 111.  Led Zeppelin is the CD, which has Stairway to Heaven in it.  I don’t know why but that is a really popular song.  I don’t really like that song very much. The songs that I do like in the Led Zeppelin CD called Led Zeppelin include: “Rock and Roll”, “The Battle of Evermore”, “Misty Mountain Hop” and “Four Sticks”.  Some of these songs like “Rock and Roll” and “Four Sticks” are rocky and upbeat tunes which liven your spirits up and make you feel alright.

In 2004 my friend had her brother burn for me the Led Zeppelin DVD called “The Song Remains The Same”.  This DVD contains footage of Led Zeppelin playing live in concert in New York’s Madison Garden in 1973.  The DVD also contains:
1. Snippets of Led Zeppelin band members with family members or by themselves at the beginning of the DVD in England. 
2. Led Zeppelin music videos from their House of the Holy record
3. Bad and good experiences with different people, which were carrying on during the Led Zeppelin concert. 

What I like most about this DVD are these two things:  
1. The music video footage from The House of The Holy record.  These videos are: No Quarter and The Song Remains the Same . 
2. Other part I like is the concert footage of Led Zeppelin where Jimmy Page the guitarist shows off his guitar talent in different parts of the concert. 

Well that’s all I have to add about my thoughts on Led Zeppelin music and my past and present likes of their music. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog! Frances 17/10/2007

I really loved that record Who’s Better, Who’s Best!  Not long after that I bought the video of the same title of the record. They have some great music clips in that video.  My favourite music clips from the video “Who’s Better, Who’s Best” are: My Generation (1966), The Kids are Alright (1966), Happy Jack (1967), Pictures of Lily (1967), and Magic Bus (1968).

 On TV back in 1989 or 1990 they aired a couple of old school rock festivals on TV, which I had tapped.  These were Woodstock (1969) and Monterey International Pop Festival (16th - 18th January 1967).  In these rock festivals The Who play numerous of their hit songs.  Those being “Summertime Blues”, “See Me, Feel Me” and “My Generation”.  Back in 1989 and the early 90′s I watched those tapping’s many times.  Keith Moon was The Who’s drummer from 1963 – 1978 and from watching those tapped rock festivals, in my opinion his drumming was absolutely fantastic.

THE WHO at WOODSTOCK SUMMERTIME BLUES 1969

From all of these The Who, music clips which I watched I thought that Keith Moon just rocked.  His carefree, rebelious attitude and great drumming in them were a real turn on for me! My utter obsession for this man went for about five years! By the Way, Keith Moon died in September 1978 from a overdose on alcohol prescribed drugs.

 Also in about 1990 I bought a video called The Kids Are Alright.  The Kids Are Alright is a rocumentary film, which includes live performances, promotional films, and interviews from 1965 to 1978. This film is widely hailed as one of the best rockumentaries ever created.

Photo of an Interview segment with The Who taken from the video The Kids are Alright. (1974 or 73)

Also for my 16th birthday I received the records Sell Out and and A Quick One from my parents.  I can honestly say that their music videos and live performance footage are much better than their records! Oh an exception is the record I have which I bought in about 1990, which is called Live at Leads (1970).  That record has some really superb drumming and guitar playing in it.

Isle of Wright Festival

I really enjoy old 1964-1978 live video footage of The Who.  This is mainly because of Keith Moon’s presence on the drums in them.  He had a captivating and wild behaviour whilst playing those drums in most of the music clips.  He was also extremely good at playing the drums.  In addition, Keith Moon was acknowledged as being one of the best drummers in the world during the 1960′s and 70′s.  I also really like the clothes he used to wear in the old live video clips.  

Photos of The Who playing live in concert during the
1960's and 70's.

I also bought the record, called Tommy in either 1990, or 1991.  Tommy surrounds the story  of a handicapped child who is abused by family members and others and goes on to become a spiritual leader. Its story covers murder, trauma, bullying, child molestation, sex, drugs, illusion, delusion, altered consciousness, spiritual awakening, religion, charlatanism, success, super-stardom, faith, betrayal, rejection and pinball. The album chronicles the story of a boy who becomes deaf, dumb and blind after witnessing the murder of his father. Through his mastery of pinball, he is cured, elevated to prophet status and then turned on by his followers. Without his major senses, Tommy is left to feel everything through rhythms and vibrations. In later years I bought the movie Tommy.  

The rock opera record was made into a movie In 1975.  The director of the movie was Ken Russell and he released his film version of Tommy, starring the Who, Ann-Margret, Oliver Reed, and Jack Nicholson. The film also featured appearances by Eric Clapton, Tina Turner and Elton John.  The following is a scene from the Movie Tommy.

Then in Christmas 1990 I received a cassette tape from my brother of The Who’s called Who’s Next (1972).  I really like the songs Behind Blue Eyes and Baba Oriely in this tape. 

Photo of The Who in 1972 or 1973

Also back in 1989, 1990 and 1992 I bought different books about The Who and poster books.  I used to live in a caravan in my parents back yard and had my Who posters stuck up there.  I mainly had posters of Keith Moon stuck up there.  He was so cute!!  Well, my utter obsession kind of ended in 1995 when I found another rock star to idolize about.  That person is David Bowie!! I hope you have found my entry on The Who entertaining.  Well I must go now.  Bye for now Frances.

As an end note, Mike Myers is supposed to be staring in a movie which is about the life of Keith Moon.  The movie is long overdue.

I first became really inspired and became hooked on David Bowies music when I was driving through Sydney one night in July 1995.  That was the night when I heard Changes on the radio.  Woe when I heard that song on my car radio I really liked it.  Sure I had heard that song before, but for real that song damn well impressed me that night. 

Not long after that night in Sydney I bought the CD’s: Best of David Bowie one and two.  I can tell you I have listened to those CD’s over and over again many times!  Then later on I bought the CD’s: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972), Aladdin Sane (1973), Pin Ups (1973), Diamond Dogs (1974), Low (77), Hours (1999), Heathen (2002) etc.

 I also have the David Bowie records which my mum bought me for Christmas 1996: David Live (1974) and Let’s Dance (1983).  Here is a photo from the David Bowie Live era. (1974).

Also in 1995 I bought the David Bowie video called: David Bowie: The Video Collection.  Now that is a video, which I have probably watched over a thousand times.  This video contains all of David Bowies video hits starting with Space Oddity (1972) to the re-make song of Fame, which was made into a video in 1990.

I really love David Bowie videos as they are just so way out there and different from your average music video.  I love the weirdness of his videos.  I can’t get enough of them.  The videos I especially like are  Space Oddity.  In this video the lighting is in different read and green colours and then the camera goes around showing the studio, where the video was filmed.  The video also pans around the studio and shows the switchboard controls.  It also shows David Bowie playing the guitar whilst sitting down.  The way they made the video is just so impressive. 

Photo taken from Space Oddity video!

Another video of David Bowies which I really like is Boys Keep Swinging (1979).  In this video David Bowie is dressed up as x 3 different women doing backup vocals on a brightly lit up stage.  David Bowie is also the lead male singer dressed up in a suit and then near the end of the video David Bowie dressed up as one of the back up singers walks down the catwalk which is situated in the middle of the stage and then takes off his wig and smears his makeup up on his cheak.  The second dressed up lady, which is David Bowie in disguise does the same thing as what the first did.  Then at the very end of the video David Bowie dressed up as an old lady character walks down the stage catwalk with her walking cane and waves. That video is so originally and cleverly made.  Very impressive!

Video of Boys Keep Swinging

Next video I like is Look Back in Anger (1979).  This video has David Bowie painting an angel in a small apartment.  Then later on he looks in the mirror and his face increasingly gets more and more blotches on it. Then David Bowie ends up painting the mirror then his face.  At the end of the video David Bowie hides under his bed. Love that video!  Just love the weirdness of it, which I can’t get enough of.

Youtube video of Look Back in Anger 

Last video I really like is Day in Day out (1987).  This one shows a couple stealing books from a outside store in New York. Then another part shows the lady prostituting herself on the streets and then the police arrest her.  Another part of the video the lady, her partner and their child are eating on the outside table of a diner and listening to a radio.  Last part of video their house gets bulldozed and the police raid their house.

Youtube video of "Day in Day Out"

On my birthday four years ago I received from my Auntie and Uncle a double DVD set of David Bowies music videos.    These videos in the DVD are his video hits from 1972 – 2002.  This DVD is really good as it includes extra video footage which I don’t have in my Video, David Bowie: The video Collection.  The videos include 1970’s live on stage, concert footage ie Young Americans, Ziggy Stardust.  Also there is videos from his Outside and Earthling CD’s.

Pops in 1972.  Song being sung was Starman.

Video of song Starman from Top of The Pops in 1972 

Also in 1995 and in later years I have managed to buy, watch or been given several in concert movies, and documentaries featuring David Bowie.  The David Bowie movies are: Just a Giggolo, Ricochet (doc, music 1984), The Man Who fell to Earth (movie, 1975), Ziggy Strardust and the Spiders from Mars: The Motion Picture (1973).

Video cover of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie videos which I enjoy the most is Richochet.  This documentary, music video is set in Bangkok, Singapore  and Hong Kong, which is in South-East Asia.  The video includes his travel experiences, DB in concert footage and a small story surrounding different Asians.

Another favourite DB movie video of mine is: The Man Who Fell to Earth (1975).  It was David’s first major motion picture role. He stars as a visitor from space.  His name in the movie is Thomas Jerome Newton and is an alien from a planet that is dying from a lack of water.

name is Mary Lou.

You tube video snippet from The Man Who Fell to Earth

I went and saw David Bowie Live in concert in Sydney in 2004 with my sister. In order to see this concert my sisters boyfriend drove my sister and I to Sydney.

That concert was the best.  He sung alot of his newer music and I was thoroughly entertained with both his band, his singing and the stage set up.  Here is one of the songs which I really got into at the concert.  The name of the song is Slip Away.

Oh well, I think I have added alot of information for all you to read and I will end now.  Bye for now.  Frances.

Here is a youtube video of Ace Frehley  playing Shock Me! - 1977.
