NEW ZEALAND'S "TEEN-SCENE"
1967 MOD-POP HIPSTER
MR. LEE GRANT
NEW ZEALAND - HIS MASTERS VOICE - CSDM 6250
RARE... "POPSIKE" 1968 ORIGINAL with the old sixties 'flipback' seams...
Mr. Lee Grant Kiwi superstar of the late sixties didn't make much of an impression here in the USA but was huge MOD hipster down under in New Zealand...his best of two Lp's released is this, his first, and filled with memorable melodies, including the opening track "Hava Nagilah" that we thought was a strange choice... until reading that Lee Grant was born Bogdan Charis Kominowski to Polish parents on April 22 1945, in a Nazi concentration camp just outside Dusseldorf. His father was killed, but he and his mother survived and emigrated to New Zealand in 1949, settling in Palmerston North, New Zealand... chilling stuff. During the 1966-67 festive period he went on three brief tours as support artist to Normie Rowe, Sandy Edmonds, and the Roy Orbison, Walker Brothers, Yardbirds package. This gave him quite a high level of exposure by the time this first Lp kicked off in 1967 The song "The Real Thing" (not the Russell Morris hit) is probably the best highlight followed by his take on two early Bee Gees mod grooves and hipster Ronnie Burn's hit "Coalman" as well as the Bee Gee's first big hit "Spicks And Specks". By the time Mr Lee Grant had completed the Animals, Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick and Tich tour for five weeks, and his hit "Opportunity" (included here) was at number one on the charts in May 1967.
