Championship Vinyl Shop

è il negozio di dischi presente in "Alta fedeltà", il romanzo di Nick Hornby. L' habitat naturale per misantropi individui che si muovono agilmente su e giù per le scale del pentagramma, tra gli scaffali colmi e ben catalogati di "oro nero, lucido e circolare". Più semplicemente, il regno dei feticisti della seconda arte. Se vi sentite attratti da questo gruppo come una stella verso il buco nero, se parlando di cucina, meteorologia o del tubo del lavabo che si è rotto, arrivate sempre, inspiegabilmente a parlare di musica e, innanzitutto, se riuscite a riconoscere un'opera osservandola di notte, in una oscura galleria, con un palmo di polvere e coperta con un telo, questo è il gruppo che fa per voi, garantito.

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac - The Green Manalishi (With The Two Prong Crown)

The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Prong Crown) is a song written by Peter Green and recorded by Fleetwood Mac. It was released as a single in England in May 1970 and reached number ten on the UK charts.

The song was written during the last days of PG's time with FM, in a period when everyone was indulging excessively in LSD and according to many who know better, the "Green Manalishi" would be a type of "acid" quite common in the '70s, but the disheveled PG has always denied this, stating that the song is about money, which in this case represents "the devil's dung" and nothing, nada...
 
FRANK ZAPPA 'Dirty Love'

Here’s a piece extracted from the album Over-Nite Sensation (the 17th) recorded with the "Mothers of Invention," to which Tina Turner and the Ikettes added backing vocals, much to the chagrin of that eminent prick named Isaac Wister "Ike" Turner (her ex-husband), in the spring of that long-ago '73, and released in the following autumn by the record label that Uncle Frank founded that very same year, namely "DiscReet Records," and that's it...

Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead (Original)
Championship Vinyl Shop, exhibitor n° 023

"Bela Lugosi’s Dead" is the first single by Bauhaus and was recorded on January 26, 1979, at Beck Studios in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, England, 23 years after the death of the famous actor. With a length of nine and a half minutes, recorded in a single take, it immediately caught the attention of the small independent label Small Wonder, which decided a few months later to release it as a single without any further modifications. A cult track of the darkwave movement, it has since been covered by various artists, from Sepultura to Nouvelle Vague, including Until December, Opera IX, and many others.
I’ll close with a little anecdote about the actor. Legend has it that the actor was so comfortable in the role of the vampire count that he insisted on being buried in his historic cape, prompting his friend and colleague Peter Lorre to remark during the funeral, “Are we sure we don’t need to drive a stake through his heart first?”
 
Jimi Hendrix - Machine Gun (Audio)

There are several more or less lengthy versions of this magnificent piece that emerged from a jam session intersecting student protests and anti-war demonstrations, particularly against the Vietnam War that was being fought at that time. Presenting this song at Berkeley, JH said: "I would like to dedicate this song to the 'soldiers' who here in Berkeley are fighting, you know well which soldiers I'm talking about... and of course, also to the soldiers in Vietnam, and I want to dedicate it to other people who are fighting different wars, perhaps with themselves, not facing reality."
This studio version of Machine Gun was then heavily reworked in '75 by the producer and reduced to 7:30, a change that was not well received by fans, as the producer had brought in session musicians to overdub drums, bass, and even guitar parts that were missing or, in his words, "of poor sound quality" and nothing... actually no, long live Vinyl!
