On Tour Through Motortown - The New Christy Minstrels

Reach Out

Stop In The Name Of Love

On Tour Through Motortown
The New Christy Minstrels
Produced by George Greif and Sid Garris
Arranged and Conducted by Chuck Sagle
Columbia CS 9616
1968

From the back cover: Looking for new worlds to conquer – salute, the Minstrels have chosen here that exciting area that has given so much to the pop music scene: Motortown, U.S.A. That's Dee-troit City, often called Motown, and it has spawned some of the most exciting sounds and groups on the music scene today. As anyone knows who has been near a radio the past few years, the Motown Sound has a groove all its own – full of soul, and with a hard-nosed beat that walks right up your spine.

In this album the Minstrels don't try to imitate the Motown Sound – rather, they take some of the very big numbers from Motown and do their own thing – which is meant as a tribute to the original. These are great songs, full of great power. They are performed here with the bright, rousing sound the Minstrels are so noted for.

Two 20 minute tracks… or basically… one 40 minute budget twist. The band receives an A+ for  stamina!

From the back cover: What we've done in this record was to understand the true spirit of twisting and create an opportunity to get the kinks out, start swinging' and then really get in the groove. So, move back the furniture, push back the walls and everybody do the Chicken Flickin' - Cotton Pickin' - Twenty Minute Twist.

Image and audio files from a sealed copy I found recently.

From the back cover: George was born in a small town in Southern Texas, near the Gulf Coast. He was 1 of 9 children. He started playing the guitar at the age of 8 and singing Country and Western Songs. All of his brothers were musical also and played various musical instruments.

George played the guitar at house parties and dahces (dances), entertained military troops, sometimes as many as 10,000 in one group. He also did some radio work at different stations with different groups in various states.

He lived on the Gulf Coast until he was 20 years of age. He then answered the call of his country and served in the Armed Forces.

George also writes the lyrics and music for songs under the name of Dwight Music Company. He has written such songs as "My Golden Gate Love", I'm Surfing", "And Then I'll Know", "Sailing Windjammer" and "Call Me On The Telephone".

Anton was born on the Gulf Coast in Southern Texas. He stared playing the guitar at a very young age. He also played the mandolin and violin. He did various radio work, singing and playing the guitar. He also entertained at house parties and did other entertaining.

Anton answered the call for his Country and served in the U.S. Air Force and had a military career, retiring as a Major.

Some of the songs he has written are: "Heartbreak and Teardrops", "Indianola", "Let's Have at the Bottle", "I'm Walking the Floor Each Night", and other songs

Anton is a very good writer. His songs are as good as you can find anywhere in the Country.

Bossa Nova! - Rene Touzet

Theme From "Lawrence Of Arabia"

Bossa Nova!
Brazil To Hollywood
Rene Touzet And His Orchestra

GNP 87
1963

From the back cover: Rene Touzet, in his twelfth album appearance for GNP-Crescendo Records, endows this "new wave" with new ideas of his own; retaining the irresistible flavor of genuine Brazillian music, but creating at the same time a subtle new feeling of his own. The tempos are designed for dancing; the arrangements are ripe with the Touzet melodic magic – and it all adds up to the next best things to being in Brazil!

The "dance step" insert is credited to the Arthur Murray Dance Studios.

This is another super Touzet/Space Age/Bossa/Jazz blend.

1970

From Billboard - July 25, 1970: Al DeLory has been getting wide exposure with his single, "Song From M*A*S*H." It's the leadoff item in this package, a strong start for any LP, but this keyboard lead on "Rainy Night In Georgia," "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head," "Everything Is Beautiful." "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "The Letter" are instrumental gems, too.
