Duck Rare ORIG OZ LP Laid NM ’72 Warner WS20008 Prog Psyche Black Feather
John Robinson Tamam Shud Buffalo Jon English Aztecs
Duck
LaidRare original OZ LP released in 1972 on Warner Records. Cat: WS20008. This album has a gatefold sleeve. Worth it for John Robinson’s exquisite playing alone but overall an excellent bluesy psyche tinged prog album…
These lovely titles are as small part of a recent collection that I will be listing over the next few months. Some extremely rare and wonderful titles amongst them...
Duck was the brainchild of musician and producer G.Wayne Thomas; created from the nucleus of Sydney club band Hunger, it featured some of the best performers in Sydney at the time, under the leadership of ex-Blackfeather guitarist John Robinson. Duck headed to Melbourne and recorded a highly regarded album of rock and R&B covers, cut at Armstrong's Studios and engineered by the legendary Roger Savage. Laid was one of the first local albums recorded by the fledgling Australian division of the Warner group and was released on the Warner Brothers label. Issued in mid-1972, it featured Jon English and Bobbi Marchini on lead vocals, with backing provided by John Robinson, renowned jazz pianist and session cat Bobby Gebert, percussionist Larry Duryea (ex Tamam Shud), former Aztec Teddy Toi on bass and Steve Webb on drums. The album featured a wildly eclectic mix of cover versions. They included some popular tracks such as Neil Young's "Southern Man", Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine", John Lennon's "Mother" (performed by Bobbi) and a sterling rendition of Nick Gravenites' "Buried Alive in the Blues" , the track written for Janis Joplin's last LP Pearl, but released as an instrumental because Joplin died before she could record her vocal. Other tracks were more obscure Frank Zappa's "Dog Breath" and "Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up", the title tack from the Zappa-produced solo album by former Captain Beefheart guitarist Jeff Simmons, and "Memo To Turner", the 'theme song' from the cult Mick Jagger-James Fox film Performance. (Quoted from Milesago)
