Love That Album - The Compilation Series: Episode 16: To The Bat Copter




Love That Album show

Summary: <br> Okay,<br> it’s time for another slab of garage rock courtesy of Eric Reanimator on Love<br> That Album: Compilation Edition episode 16.<br> <br> <br>  <br> <br> Now<br> just for something different, Eric is going to start off by talking about<br> Swedish rockers The Hellacopters. Through the nineties it was a common practice<br> for bands to release seven inches that were not related to an album (come to<br> think of it, it was a sixties practice as well – score one for the Boomers).<br> These seven inches would often feature covers the band under concern loved.<br> Sometimes, in a very communal fashion, two bands would share the EP. Eric<br> discusses a pair of albums chock full of Hellacopter songs previously only<br> available on such singles called The Cream of The Crap. Ignore the self<br> deprecation – the music is great, and Eric gives us the story behind the music.<br> <br> <br>  <br> <br> Then<br> before you can say “Holy Garage Music, Eric” he talks about three compilations<br> from a band out of Washington DC called Adam West.- Ready Steady, Longshot<br> Songs For Broke Players, and Hi Balls are Rolling. The number of singles<br> represented here showed they were quite prolific in that department.<br> Interestingly enough, both bands cpvered each others songs at some stage, but<br> there’s a wealth of great material here. I’ll let Eric divulge what record<br> label Adam West recorded on.<br> <br> <br>  <br> <br> You can download the show by searching for Love<br> That Album in the iTunes store or downloading streaming directly from http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com<br> <br> <br>  <br> <br> <br> Send the show feedback at rrrkitchen@yahoo.com.au<br> (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the Facebook group at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum">http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum</a><br> <br> <br>  <br> <br> <br> If you enjoy what you hear, please tell a friend or<br> ten to tune in.<br> <br>
