Hi Ho Silver Lining / Beck's Bolero / Rock My Plimsoul
RAK RR 3 (1972)

Jeff Beck (1944-2023) was an acclaimed English guitarist who originally came to fame as part of The Yardbirds. Described by Rolling Stone magazine as "one of the most influential lead guitarists in rock" he is regarded alongside Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton as one of his generations greatest guitarists.

"Hi Ho Silver Lining" was written by American songwriters Scott English and Larry Weiss and first released as a single in March 1967 by English band The Attack

The Attack's version failed to chart, while Beck's recording reached the top 20 of the singles chart in the UK in both 1967 and 1972. The 45 failed to crack the US Billboard Hot 100.  

Although credited on this 45 solely to Jeff Beck the tracks included backing by The Jeff Beck Group who's members included Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood.  Rod's vocals can be heard on the flipside Rock My Plimsoul.

Beck's Bolero was an earlier recording that featured guitarist Jimmy Page on rhythm guitar, John Paul Jones on bass, Keith Moon on drums, and Nicky Hopkins on piano.

Marion Ryan  (4 February 1931 – 15 January 1999)  was a popular British singer in the 50s & 60s, once called "the Marilyn Monroe of popular song".  Most of her output is referred to as run of the mill pop but the "A" side of a 1968 release, although not experiencing any chart success at the time, found acceptance during the 1970s on the Northern Soul dance scene. The flip is one of her many standard pop ballads, sung well, but nothing special. Philips BF 1721 FLAC

Vibravoid Kraut Rock Sensation EP Fruits De Mer CRUSTACEAN 07 (2009) Another great slab of vinyl from the Fruits De Mer label featuring the band Vibravoid who hail from Dusseldorf, Germany. The original plan for the label was for long lost rock classics to be re-released however licensing the music was I assume very difficult and expensive so the label moved into having rare and classic rock being re-recorded as cover versions. This EP was a limited release of 300 copies so finding a copy these days is difficult.  On the EP the tracks being covered are: Kraftwerk's Ruckzuck  Amon Duul II's Eye Shaking King Can's Mother Sky Mashantra's Rauchkraut FLAC

Various Artists Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited EP Polydor 9839472 (2006) An English language tribute album to the works of the late Serge Gainsbourg was released in 2006 and from the album this limited edition EP was produced.  The actual release is not an EP per say but 2 x 7" vinyl discs in a gatefold sleeve (normally referred to as a double pack). Regardless of the format name here are 4 great English versions of Gainsbourg's work.  Tracks 1-3 are featured on the original album whilst track 4 was only (initially) available via this "EP".  My favourite is Cat Power & Karen Elson's "I Love You (Me Either)" the English version of "Je T'aime Moi Non Plus" .   The song was written in 1967 for Brigitte Bardot and she sang on the original recorded version .  Although she was in a relationship with Gainsbourg, she was at the time of recording still married to the German millionaire playboy Gunter Sachs. He heard via press reports of the rec...
