Lyrics:

Love is like a Ramblin' Rose
The more you feed it
The more it grows,
Ramblin' Rose, Ramblin' Rose,
Come on home

Ramblin' Rose
Ramblin' around,
Ramblin' Rose
I´m gonna put you down
Ramblin' Rose, Ramblin' Rose
Come on home

Ramblin' Rose,
Is such a ball
Diamond rings
And a Cadillac car,
Ramblin' Rose, Ramblin' Rose
Come on home

Ramblin´ Rose,
I need a Ramblin´ Rose
Ramblin´ Rose

Take A Walk

Some of the great lyrics from this song were quoted recently over on the Stay Sick Yahoo group...
Seems someone had an old cassette mixtape & wondered what was the song's title & artist?
The mystery was solved & you will have to agree that this is a good one...



Jerry Reed - Take A Walk


From the 1967 album:  The Unbelievable Guitar and Voice of Jerry Reed





Jerry Reed is subjected to his past by George Jones...

Comparing "Baby That's Me"

Today is the eleventh anniversary of Jack Nitzsche's passing.  While working on related posts for my Facebook page, I came across "Baby That's Me" by The Fashions, written by Jackie DeShannon and Jack Nitzsche, and released on the Cameo label in 1964.  As the YouTube uploader's comments explain, this release was quickly followed a few month's later by Lesley Gore's version.  Then, a bit later, by Britian's ultra-fine girl group, The Cake, who put out a magnifico version in 1967.  So, for your listening pleasure and convenience,  I've posted all three versions here accompanied by the notes supplied by the YouTube uploaders of each.




Fashions - BABY THAT'S ME (Jack Nitzsche) (1964)



Uploaded by  on Jul 22, 2010
NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED - (Cameo 331) Out of Los Angeles, this 1964 release doesn't give any producer or arranger credits but more than likely, co-writer JACK NITZSCHE probably was involved. This is the first version of the tune followed by Lesley Gore a few months later which Nitzsche is credited as arranger and lastly, The Cake and their 1967 version. Although The Cake's version was produced by Charlie Greene & Brian Stone and arranged by Harold Battiste (this trio worked with Sonny & Cher in the early days of their career), the SOUND of the record has Nitzsche's style all over it.


Lesley Gore - Baby That's Me (great!)

I think that The Cake's version is quite better, but "Baby That's Me" is still a classic in every way.


The Cake - Baby That's Me (One of the best 

girlgroup songs ever - written by Jackie)


Uploaded by  on May 12, 2010
I was so shocked the first time I listening to an album by an unknown girlgroup, called The Cake. The album started with three Spectoresque songs, but it was "Baby That's Me" that was by far the best of them.
And yes, Jackie wrote this magificent song, too!

Syd/Early Floyd Demos May Finally Surface

Could early Pink Floyd demos with Syd Barrett finally see the light of day? We've heard bootlegs of 'Lucy Leave' and "I'm A King Bee", but what about the titles "Walk With Me Sydney" and
"Double O-Bo"?


Jen D at the WHATEVERSHEBRINGSWESING Yahoo Group shared this bit from Nick Mason in the new UNCUT:


New copy of Uncut just came in the post (Bolan cover) - There's a
feature & Nick interview re the Dark side Immersions set & his vault.
From the article by David Cavanagh
"...So far these three albums -easily Floyd's biggest sellers - are
the only one's confirmed for ' Immersion' editions. Unofficially,
though, plans are afoot that will electrify Syd Barret's fanbase. But
more on that later...

The Floyd story started with Syd Barrett, their first songwriter,
their first leader, the man who gave them their name. At a certain
point in the interview I look Mason in the eye and as him if 'Why Pink
Floyd...? is going to be the point in history when "Scream Thy Last
Scream", "Vegetable Man" and other unreleased 1967 tracks are finally,
after many dashed hopes and false alarms, going to receive an official
release.
Mason [at once]: "Yes. I would love that. If we did an 'Immersion'
version of the early stuff, we could have all of those, and then we've
got some demos that were made really early on, which I think are just
charming. these come from 1965 and include 'Lucy Leave', "I'm A King
Bee", "Walk With Me Sydney", and "Double O-Bo". They're very R'n'B. Of
course we were yet another English band who wanted to be an American-s
style R'n'B band. We recorded the demo at Decca. I think it must have
been, in Broadhurst Gardens. A friend of Rick's was working there as
an engineer, and managed to sneak us in on a Saturday night when the
studio wasn't operating."
Have you always know of this tape's existence?
Mason: "Yes, I've always had a copy of it."

"Nick came in with a huge box full of quarter tapes which had been
sitting in storage," relates Andy Jackson. "When we trawled through
them, there were a lot of early recordings, pre-Piper, when they were
playing "Louie, Louie" and being an R'n'B band. Then there were quite
a few Barrett-era Floyd tracks that never got released, which were
mixed recently as part of [the work done on] An Introduction To Syd
Barrett, when we didn't know that they weren't going to get used.
There is potentially the material to make an album of unreleased
Barrett-era stuff."

In other words [I ask Mason], there'll be an 'Immersion' edition of
The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn? Or else an 'Immersion' that twins
Piper with A Saucerful Of Secrets?
Mason: "More likely to be the latter, but yes, definitely. Personally
I think the two albums go together very well, if you position the
tracks suitably, because 'Jugband Blues' on Saucer is Syd's song and
it's his farewell moment in a way"

That 1967-68 'Immersion' set will probably come out next summer Mason
estimates. It will have been a long. long wait."

(he mentions the 'new' Stockholm concert being decent quality) & a
box out on Syd era outakes.
