Phonolog Reports – New Releases
Week of
Caught my eye:
JOHN LENNON & YOKO ONO – Sometime In New York City (Apple SVBB-3392) double LP (LP) (CD)
ALICE COOPER – School’s Out (Warner Brothers 3623) (LP) (CD)
Double LP for John & Yoko – that featured Frank Zappa! Not anybody’s favorite Lennon LP, however. And a hit for former Zappa-proteges Alice Cooper (LP came with a ‘gimmicks’ package initially).
Also of interest:
P.F. SLOAN – Raised On Records (Mums KZ-31260)
IKE & TINA TURNER – Feel Good (United Artists UAS 5598)
Singer / songwriter stuff for P.F. Sloan; R&B toughness for Ike & Tina.
Notable singles:
SEALS & CROFTS – Summer Breeze b/w East of Ginger Trees (Warner Brothers 7606)
PARRISH & GURVITZ – I’ve Got Time b/w Janine (Decca 32969)
THE DOORS – Get Up and Dance (Elektra 45793)
NEIL YOUNG / GRAHAM NASH – War Song b/w The Needle and The Damage Done (Reprise 1099)
A hit for Seals & Crofts; British Parrish & Gurvitz get a US single – not sure which was the A-side (but I’ve listed my favorite first); Post-Jim Doors 45; certainly one of the first Sparks 45’s!; Non-LP A-side for Neil Young / Graham Nash?

The Ron Kane Files now take a well-earned vacation from the blogosphere. If I can figure out how to post from Tokyo, I will. Otherwise, see you on July 8th or 9th. School is, indeed - OUT!

Re: Alice Cooper
Did the initial pressing actually come with a real pair of panties or was it a simulation? I've heard a lot about this in the last 20 years or so but even though I knew people who owned this album when it was new, the gimmick aspect of the packaging was never mentioned. Flash forward a year and every kid I knew was ga-ga over the more conventional "Billion Dollar Baboes" packaging and shared it with me. Wha...?
Re: Seals & Crofts
Not nostalgic for these guys! Like, say Pablo Cruise, it's the "70's music no one is nostalgic for" - soon to be a major motion picture!
Re: Sparks
I wish I'd heard this band earlier than 1981!
Re: Nippon
Have a great vacation!
AC: Paper panties, I believe. Will do on the Tokyo Holiday. Be seeing you!
