The Ladies of Reprise Records :r

OK, Reprise is probably not the first record label that anyone thinks of when you hear "rock and soul" but Reprise did have it's fair offerings of at least rock and a bit of roll - and a whole lot of ladies! Started by Frank Sinatra in 1960, Sinatra saw Reprise as the answer to his and his friends dilemma of feeling like being held creatively hostage by a record label - in his case Capitol Records. Frank wanted the artists on his label, many of them friends and family to own their own masters and have some creative control over their music, if they so chose. It's not a surprise that much of the label's talent were rat packers, Los Angels night club hold overs, Palm Springs seasonal dwellers and Las Vegas attractions. But Frank wanted to create a label that offered something for everyone, and records that play and play again - so he began assembling a broader array of talent, including his own fantastically gifted daughter Nancy Sinatra, who brought youth and style to a label that soon began adding more teenage talent. It kept afloat for 5 years, but the label began to become financially difficult due to pressures from Capitol Records, who had created discounted version of Sinatra's own records on their label forcing Sinatra to sell Reprise titles at a lower price point. In 1965 it became an arm of Warner Records, and slowly began adding more rock acts to it's roster. Today on Crayons to Perfume! we'll hear the ladies of Reprise - solo artists like on of my all-time favorites, Nancy Sinatra, one time Ikette Pat Powdrill, loungy ladies who lay on great renditions of unsuspecting tunes like Jill Jackson and Lola Falana, and girl groups such as the Blossoms, the Rev-Lons & The Paris Sisters - turning it over at the end of the show to Reprises later 60's female fronted rock and psych outfits like Sweetwater, Pentangle and the Mojo Men. Join djgirlgroupgirl as she presents the Ladies of Reprise, Wednesday at 7pm right here on Rock'n'Soul Ichiban

JEEZUS FUCK, IT'S CHRISTMAS!!! A Lux Interior Christmas Tape Compilation

Super giant thanks to Kristian Hoffman for sharing this on his Facebook Page. It's a picture of a tape Lux made with some amazing Christmas Music. A song or two from the Black Christmas tape, but much more swell tunes to sink your teeth in to.  Even an atheist would love it...

Kristian said it was ok to share, so it here it is!

Jeezus fuck, indeed!

(note, this isn't a copy of the "actual" tape, just a compilation of MP3's sourced elsewhere and sequenced like the tape)

The Fringe Factory Live at Diamond St Studios Sessions: The Woolly Bushmen & The GTVs!

It's been a busy year  at The Fringe Factory HQ! One of many projects finally coming to fruition is The Fringe Factory Live at Diamond Street Studios Sessions! DJ Vikki Vaden hosts a semi-regular series of live recordings and interviews with both touring and local Atlanta bands influenced by 60s garage, psychedelia, soul, punk & FUZZZZ . All recorded at a cool little analog recording studio located right in the heart of Atlanta's Little 5 Points & run by the legendary Spencer Garn.

For this very first show, Vikki invites touring bands The Woolly Bushmen and The GTVs to Diamond Street to each play a few songs and have a record party pre-show. Then hilarity & chaos ensus as the bands and Vikki try to chat, argue with "Dr. Hollywood" the Woolly Bushmen's "manager" and drink perhaps too many beers before the evening rock-n-roll show.
