Shel Talmy – en popsnedker

9. juli 2017

The Kinks, The Who, Manfred Mann, The Fortunes, David Bowie og Lee Hazlewood. Har det til fælles – sammen med mange andre mindre ikoner – at de har været omkring produceren, impressarioen og lydteknikeren Shel Talmy. Talmy havde det held, at han som amerikaner og lydtekniker fik arbejde i London hos Decca Records på et tidspunkt, hvor tresserbeaten blomstrede. Og da han spottede The Kinks til Pye Records blev hans navn slået fast i musikmiljøet. Det hjalp også, at han kastede sig over promotion- og pladeudgivelser. Nu har det lille entusiastiske nostalgiplademærke Ace fået den oplagt idé at samle en lang række af Talmys produktioner på en udgivelse Making Time: A Shel Talmy Production. En ret imponerende CV, hvis I spørger mig…

Root-de-doo-de-doo, a-root-de-doot-de doy di

9. juli 2017

A wouldn’t it be nice
To get on with me neighbors
But they make it very clear
They’ve got no room for ravers

They stop me from groovin’
They bang on me wall
They doing me crust in
It’s no good at all, ah

Lazy Sunday afternoon
I’ve got no mind to worry
I close my eyes and drift away-a

Here we all are sittin’ in a rainbow
Go blimey hello Mrs. Jones
How’s old Bert’s lumbago?
(He mustn’t grumble)

Tweedle dee bite
I’ll sing you a song with no words and no tune
Tweedle dee bite
To sing in the khazi while you suss out the moon, oh yeah

Lazy Sunday afternoon-a
I’ve got no mind to worry
Close my eyes and drift away-a

Root-de-doo-de-doo, a-root-de-doot-de doy di
A-root-de doot de dum, a-ree-de-dee-de-doo dee
Doo, doo, doo

There’s no one to hear me
There’s nothing to say
And no one can stop me
From feeling this way, yeah

Lazy Sunday afternoon
I’ve got no mind to worry
Close my eyes and drift away

Lazy Sunday afternoon
I’ve got no mind to worry
Close my eyes and drift a

Close my mind and drift away
Close my eyes and drift away…
