Dennis Greaves took a week off from Nine Below Zero in 1980 but otherwise kept his nose firmly applied to the grindstone. They broke up in 1983 when he formed the Truth, who broke up in 1989 when he rebooted the old band. He looks back here at the first gigs he ever saw and played – a world with the attractive scent of spilt beer and tobacco – stopping off at various points, among them … … why blues and R&B flourished in South London, police and villains drinking together at the Thomas A Becket and the folklore of the Old Kent Road. ... the great advantage of never having a hit. … taking his parents to see Chuck Berry in 1972. ... the lasting appeal of R&B in a world of processed music. … what he learnt from Glyn Johns when he produced them at Olympic Studios, “the man who invented phasing with Itchycoo Park”. … buying singles at A1 Records in Walworth – “Progressive, Reggae, Artists A-Z …” … seeing Blackfoot Sue and Scarecrow on the pub circuit, and the Groundhogs and Rory Gallagher at the Rainbow. … Pete Townshend watching Nine Below Zero from the wings - “you remind me of us in the ‘60s”. … seeing the Jam 11 times – “900 people in a 400 capacity venue!” … “getting gyp is good as you learn how to control an audience.” … 2am service station food and how touring has changed in 45 years. ... performing in the pilot for The Young Ones in 1982. … “the song you should study for A-Level Pop”. … memories of Mylone LeFevre, Capability Brown, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee, BB King, Muhammad Ali, Henry Cooper, Uriah Heep, The Little Roosters, Deep Purple, Gary Moore, Greg Lake, Love Sculpture, Free, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Alvin Lee, Dr Feelgood and Charlie McCoy playing Lady Madonna on the harmonica on the Val Doonican Show …  … and the greatest record ever made! Nine Below Zero tickets and tour dates here: https://www.ninebelowzero.com/tourHelp us to keep the conversation going by joining our worldwide Patreon community: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

En 1968, los Yardbirds se disolvieron y Jimmy Page formó un nuevo grupo con John Paul Jones, Robert Plant y John Bonham. Tras una exitosa gira en el norte de Europa, la banda adoptó el nombre Led Zeppelin. En solo 36 horas, grabaron su álbum debut en los Olympic Studios. El disco mezclaba temas originales y versiones de clásicos blues y folk, estableciendo las bases del hard rock.

In this episode of Danny Hurst´s Unusual Histories London Bridge Series, it is the turn of Barnes Railway Bridge. The Bridge is also a pedestrian bridge which over the decades has carried members of bands like The Beatles, Queen and The Rolling Stones across the Thames to record some of their biggest hits at the legendary Olympic Studios. Sadly, the glam rock star Marc Bolan also died nearby.    If you can´t get enough of these podcasts, head to https://www.patreon.com/DannyHurst to access my exclusive, member-only, fun-filled and fact-packed history-related videos. KEY TAKEAWAYS Uniquely the bridge serves both rail and pedestrian traffic, one of only three of the Thames's crossings to do so. U2 was the last band to record at The Olympic Studios. When the first bridge was built, Barnes was just a small village. There are two bridges on the site. Danny explains why the old bridge was never demolished. BEST MOMENTS “The tree has since become a shrine, and for years, fans would leave tributes beside it.” “Both Barnes and Richmond bridges were very similar looking, designed by the same team.” “Many residents have no idea that Barnes railway bridge is something of an optical illusion being two completely separate bridges.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.citybridgefoundation.org.uk HOST BIO Historian, performer, and mentor Danny Hurst has been engaging audiences for many years, whether as a lecturer, stand-up comic or intervention teacher with young offenders and excluded secondary students. Having worked with some of the most difficult people in the UK, he is a natural storyteller and entertainer, whilst purveying the most fascinating information that you didn't know you didn't know. A writer and host of pub quizzes across London, he has travelled extensively and speaks several languages. He has been a consultant for exhibitions at the Imperial War Museum and Natural History Museum in London as well as presenting accelerated learning seminars across the UK. With a wide range of knowledge ranging from motor mechanics to opera to breeding carnivorous plants, he believes learning is the most effective when it's fun. Uniquely delivered, this is history without the boring bits, told the way only Danny Hurst can.

James Joyce. That was me at school as well. Ironically, I ended up becoming a historian. The Unusual Histories podcast is all about the history you don't learn at school, nor indeed anywhere else. Discover things that you didn't know that you didn't know, fascinating historical luminaries and their vices and addictions, and the other numerous sides of every story. Danny continues his Unusual Histories podcast with the Bridge Series, remaining in London travelling east to west to look at the bridges which span the Thames. He looks at their design, construction, and history, along with the history of the areas in which they're located on both sides of the river. This series kicks off with an exclusive interview with Dirk Bennett of the City Bridge Foundation, the organisation which looks after London's bridges. Tower Bridge is marking its 130th anniversary this month and Dirk talks to Danny about the history of the bridge as well as the new exhibition that is opening for it. If you love history; or indeed if you hate history, this is the podcast for you…

In this episode we will tell the story of a long haired hippy with a dream to do something spectacular. With the help of his talented friends and against the powers of the land he made that dream into a reality.

Neil Storey is an old pal from our magazine days who worked in the press office at Island. He looked after U2, Bob Marley, Steel Pulse, the B-52's and many others. About 15 years ago he began the mammoth task of compiling a series of books telling the story of virtually every record the label released in its pioneering history, tracking down and talking to all those involved - musicians, producers, designers, photographers, label staff – and collecting old music press ads and ephemera from the time. The book's almost a foot square so LP sleeves can be reproduced ‘actual size'. The first volume is just out, The Island Book Of Records 1959-1968, a thing of very great beauty. As David says, “it's like entering the record shop of your dreams.” We talked to Neil at his home in France about this and much else besides …   … Chris Blackwell's involvement in the making of Dr No and the single Jamaican beach shot that told them they had a hit movie. … the album they released that no-one involved could remember. … Shotgun Wedding by Roy ‘C', Byron Lee and the Dragonaires, Lance Hayward, Millie Small's ‘My Boy Lollipop' … … the letter Blackwell sent to the workshy Spooky Tooth with threats of wage deductions. … the lucrative ascent of Jethro Tull. … the little-known compilations of Rugby songs, ‘Bawdy British Ballads' and risqué adult comedy that “saved the label's bacon” in the mid-‘60s. … the time Neil stumbled across Traffic's fabled Aston Tirrold cottage on a school camping trip. … the highly collectable “Birth of Ska' album that was never released.   … one immortal week at the Marquee Club. … and why Island were banned for Olympic Studios. Order the Island Book of Records Vol 1 here …https://www.roughtrade.com/gb/product/neil-storey/the-island-book-of-records-volume-i-1959-68?channable=409d926964003230353632383608&gclid=Cj0KCQjw06-oBhC6ARIsAGuzdw1pbKtxLGkjgkiJfcAll84H65dVQ1r_h7obky-QWlVtpr21UgiQP54aAk1BEALw_wcB#hardback-signed-plusTickets for Word In Your Ear live at 21 Soho on October 30th here: https://www.tickettext.co.uk/ysY3FvyFaeSubscribe to Word In Your Ear on Patreon for early - and ad-free! - access to all of our content: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyouear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

In this episode we speak to legendary sound mixer Alan O'Duffy who has recorded and mixed three US number one albums, working with artists such as The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and Eric Clapton. Alan also recorded and mixed the 1970 number one album - Jesus Christ Superstar by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. This led the way to a fantastic career in TV and film with a list of credits longer than a A List Block-buster! Mark has known Alan O' Duffy since he started working in the Film & Television industry over thirty years ago. Alan has had a lifetime in sound. In fact, he still works as a Sound Recordist to this very day and very soon will be releasing his memoirs. Mark was particularly interested in in finding out about the start of Alan's illustrious career, when he worked at the world famous Olympic Studios in London. We managed to sit down together in The Titanic Hotel, Liverpool, just before the pandemic took hold, where Mark asked Alan about his amazing experiences and how sound has changed his life.

Cuando McCartney anunció su salida de The Beatles el 10 de abril de 1970, anuncio que significó de hecho la ruptura definitiva del grupo, George Harrison vio que había llegado su momento, que por fin la ataduras y el liderazgo de sus compañeros desaparecían y que él podía dar rienda suelta a su creatividad. En enero de 1970, Harrison innvitó al productor estadounidense Phil Spector a participar en una grabación de John Lennon. Esta colaboración llevó a Spector a sustituir primero a George Martin en la producción de Get Back y, más tarde en la producción del que sería el primer disco en solitario de George Harrison tras la disocución de The Beatles: “All things must pass.” Phil Spector escuchó por primera vez las canciones de Harrison a principios de 1970 y, años más tarde, admitió que la cantidad y calidad del material era interminable. Harrison había acumulado canciones desde 1966, y había escrito, en colaboración con Bob Dylan algunas más. La que acabamos de escuchar, Wah- Wah, tuvo su origen en una discusión con McCartney y en su salida temporal del grupo en el 69. Otra canción del álbum, “What is life”, algo así como “Así es la vida”, se publicó como el segundo sencillo de este trabajo y fue un éxito inmediato. La nómina de músicos acompañantes es tremenda: Eric Clapton y toda la banda de Delaney & Bonnie and Friends que, añadiendo el Wall of Sound (el famoso muro de sonido de Phil Spector) y un prominente arreglo de cuerdas, dieron como resultado esta excelente canción. Construida alrededor de un riff de guitarra, es una de las composiciones más populares de Harrison y la crítica ya la ha clasificado como un “clásico”. What is life. El primer sencillo del álbum, “My Sweet Lord”, una canción que tantos quebraderos de cabeza le dio a Harrison a cuenta de la demanda de plagio, que perdió por cierto, bueno pues surgió como un ejercicio para componer una canción gospel que en un principio cedió a su amigo Billy Preston. Esta versión se grabó en los Olympic Studios de Londres en enero de 1970, con Preston como principal músico y rodeado del guitarrista, el bajista y el batería de The Temptations. The Edwin Hawkins Singers estaban también de gira por el Reino Unido, por lo que Harrison los invitó a participar en la grabación. Harrison había escrito la canción como una alabanza al dios hindú Krishna pero al mismo tiempo quería que la letra sirviera como una llamada a abandonar el sectarismo religioso, y para eso mezcló de forma deliberada el Aleluya judío, cánticos de Hare Krishna y oraciones y textos de la literatura india. My Sweet Lord. El tercer disco de la edición original de All Things Must incluía temas instrumentales que Harrison y otros músicos habían improvisado durante las sesiones de grabación. Son canciones sencillas, construidas con mínimos cambios de acordes o con un solo riff., sin que por ello tengan una menor calidad. En una entrevista con la revista Billboard en diciembre de 2000, Harrison comentó sobre estos temas instrumentales: “Las improvisaciones, yo no quería simplemente tirarlas a la basura pero al mismo tiempo tampoco eran una parte sustancial del disco: fue por eso por lo que las puse aparte, como una especie de bonificación”. Este tercer disco de vinilo, en la versión original me refiero, incluía una funda de diseño, en la que se observa un bote de mermelada con el título de Apple Jam en la tapa y dos hojas de manzano en el exterior. Vamos a escuchar un par de estas canciones. En primer lugar Plug me in Otra de estas improvisaciones Thanks for the pepperoni, un rock and roll al estilo clásico. El título de esta canción parece que salió de un verso extraído de un álbum del cómico Lenny Bruce, famoso por su estilo satírico y de crítica social. Thanks for the pepperoni. Isn’t it a pity es una canción que Harrison compuso en 1966 y que fue rechazada por The Beatles, o sea, por Paul y Jhon y que nunca se incluyó en ninguno de los álbumes del grupo. Mal ojo, porque rápidamente alcanzó los primeros puestos en las listas de éxitos y ha sido versionada por gente muy importante como Nina Simone, Matt Monro, Paul Young o Roberta Flack. La canción es una balada y el eje emocional y musical del álbum. Se ha interpretado como “una profunda reflexión sobre el fin de The Beatles”. Isn’t it a pity Hemos llegado al final de nuestra andadura por hoy. George Harrison, un buen músico, que tenía sorbido el seso por el espíritu y la religión pero que hacía canciones tan bellas como las que hemos disfrutado hoy. Amigos, amigas, tened una feliz semana (es una orden) y nos vemos la próxima aquí, en Sienteloconoido.caster.fm, nuestro lugar de encuentro. Y mientras tanto… ¡Buenas Vibraciones!

Vic Godard in conversation with David Eastaugh In 1976, Godard formed Subway Sect with three other fans of the Sex Pistols at the suggestion of Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren, who wanted another band for the line-up of the 100 Club Punk Festival. Despite their inexperience, Subway Sect made a successful debut at the festival and were taken on by Clashmanager Bernie Rhodes. They appeared with The Clash on the White Riot Tour in 1977 and released their debut single, "Nobody's Scared"/"Don't Split It", in March 1978. While recording their debut album at Gooseberry Studios, Rhodes suddenly fired the entire band except for Godard. Two tracks from the album's recording sessions, "Ambition"/"Different Story", were released by Rough Trade Records; the single was a major hit on the alternative charts. Godard re-formed Subway Sect in 1980 with new musicians and signed to MCA Records sublabel Oddball, releasing the album What's The Matter Boy? Following a summer tour with Buzzcocks, Subway Sect disbanded again. Guitarist Johnny Britten formed a rockabilly band with Chris Bostock, Sean McLusky, Rob Marche and DC Collard, but was soon forced to leave the group, at which point Godard stepped in to take his place. They recorded the album Songs For Sale in 1981, but were disappointed with the results and disbanded soon after; members of the band, without Godard, went on to form JoBoxers.[3] Godard also recorded an LP at Olympic Studios, called T.R.O.U.B.L.E., with a group of London jazz musicians known as Working Week, which was eventually released two years later by Rough Trade Records. In the mid-1980s, Godard retired from music and became a postman. In 1990, Godard wrote the song "Johnny Thunders", a tribute inspired by reading an obituary of the New York Dolls guitarist. It was recorded at the home of Paul Baker, a fellow postman. Godard also recorded ten other tracks and the recordings, with Paul Cook on drums, eventually became the album The End of the Surrey People. Produced by Edwin Collins, it was released on the Postcard Records label. Collins' group Orange Juice had made the Subway Sect song "Holiday Hymn" a feature of their set in the early 1980s. Later in the 1990s, Godard formed the band The Long Decline with Kenny Wisdom and Mark Perry. The band released an album on the Overground label before disbanding in 1998, but re-formed in 2000 with Godard, Wisdom, Lee McFadden, and Mina Sassoon, among others. Godard contributed guitar and some songwriting, but not lead vocals, In 1998, Godard released the album Long Term side-Effect on Tugboat Records.[3] A 2002 album recorded by Godard, Sansend, was released under the name Subway Sect, rather than his own.

Welcome to the 50th Consequences podcast!  Paul and Sean are delighted to welcome Graham Gouldman for his second interview with us. This time, we focus on his meteoric songwriting work in the 60s. Graham's on tremendous form here, giving us a joyful whistle-stop tour of many of our favourite corners of his early career. It's so good to hear him talking so fondly and frankly about his dad Hymie's massive contribution to his canon, with many insights that are new to these ears. We press him on his time at Olympic Studios, including the excellent tracks on his solo debut arranged by John Paul Jones. We even ask him to give us some live demos on his guitar, which he dutifully does, to beautiful effect. We of course don't stick to the hits - we're keen to know more about such forgotten gems as Behind the Door, Nowhere to Go, Getting Nowhere and some of the early Strawberry Super K material, and we find out so much. The keen-eared listeners among you will notice that we're including audio clips of at least three recordings that have never been released before, bootleg or otherwise. Huge thanks to David Jarvis and Graham for these treasures. Oh, and there are revelations about I'm Not in Love thrown in for good measure too! A real treat for all of us 10cc fans. Tune in next week for Graham's account of 10cc, from Alpha to Omega.

Derek Klein, the founder of Olympic Studios in Seattle, WA welcomed me to record an episode on location. We talk about his move from filmmaker to studio owner, documentary film making, and drone and helicopter shooting!

Stuart Epps is Elton John royalty! He was a huge part of the team that worked together to bring Elton out from the sidelines of Tin Pan Alley, into megastardom. He saw that process first hand, working in a variety of different roles. Here he tells his story. Stuart's brand new audiobook can be ordered from his website.  The rarity that I play in the episode is the Steve Brown produced version of 'Take Me To The Pilot' from Olympic Studios, recorded in something like August / September 1969.

With eight albums selling over two million records and worldwide hits like "Jackie Blue" and "If You Want To Get To Heaven" the Ozark Mountain Daredevils have come a long way from the Missouri bars and porches where their music was born. It all began for the Daredevils in 1971 when a collection of singer songwriters from the Springfield area put together a band as an outlet for their songwriting. They Played their first gig near the end of 1971 and, in the spring of the following year, went into the studio to make a demo tape. The tape came to the attention of David Anderle at A&M Records, who liked what he heard and passed the tape on to A&M president, Jerry Moss. This resulted in the band signing to A&M with Anderle and Glyn Johns producing, thus the Daredevils were off to London to Make their first album at the famed Olympic Studios. This first album contained the smash hit "If You Wanna Get To Heaven" written by Cash and Dillon, and produced a gold album. The pop"Jackie Blue", written by Cash and Larry Lee, came from the second album "It'll Shine When It Shines", and was a top-five worldwide record. The band has made subsequent albums, and continues to build their audience through records and touring across the U.S. and Canada, performing for their large cult following. The band was described by Rolling Stone Magazine as "A mixture of Country, Appalchia, the south, and Rock & Roll". Michael Granda chats with Slacker.

We took a trip to the London Wetland Centre, stopping by a couple of rock 'n' roll landmarks - Olympic Studios and the Bolan tree.
