THE UKULELE ORCHESTRA OF GREAT BRITAIN / THE UKULELE VARIATIONS / LP /

(UK / DISCETHNIQUE / EFNI LP 002 / 1988 / MEDIA:EX / JACKET:VG 経年シミ) モンド/ストレンジな魅力がたっぷり詰まったウクレレ楽団！ペンギン・カフェ・オーケストラからアヴァン・ポップ好きまで必聴！ 男女混成12人編成、現在もなお活動を続けるウクレレ楽団U.O.G.B.(＝THE UKULELE ORCHESTRA OF GREAT BRITAIN)。ウクレレといってもハワイのホリデイ感溢れるソレとは一味異なる、アヴァン・ポップ好きにもアプローチするオルタナティヴなマインドがポイント。もちろん、小粋なグッド・タイム・ミュージック/アコースティック・スウィングとしても楽しめる面白さ。カヴァーでとりあげている楽曲も「CANDY SAYS」(THE VELVET UNDERGROUND)、「RED CROSS」(CHARLIE PARKER)、「SATISFACTION」(THE ROLLING STONES)、「BORN TO BE WILD」(STEPPENWOLF)、「NOBODY’S CHILD」(HANK SNOW)、「THE TROUT」(FRANZ SCHUBERT)などのセンスある幅広さ。自作曲の「THE LABOURS OF HERCULES」などもモンド/ストレンジな魅力が詰まっているインストで素敵です。UK ORIGINAL盤！ https://viewrecordshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/CANDY-SAYS.mp3 https://viewrecordshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/RED-CROSS.mp3 https://viewrecordshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SATISFACTION.mp3 https://viewrecordshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/BORN-TO-BE-WILD.mp3 https://viewrecordshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/FOUR-MEN-IN-BIG-HATS.mp3 https://viewrecordshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/THE-LABOURS-OF-HERCULES.mp3 TRACKLIST A1 RED CROSS A2 CANDY SAYS A3 TOSTO CHE L’ALBA A4 FOUR MEN IN BIG HATS A5 SATISFACTION A6 BEFORE THE CONIFERS A7 NOBODY’S CHILD A8 STILL LIFE WITH UKELELE A9 ON SUICIDE B1 PRESTO TANGO B2 PRESTO TANGO VARIATIONS B3 HYMN B4 THE TROUT B5 MIDNIGHT IN MOSCOW B6 DANCE MUSIC B7 BORN TO BE WILD B8 THE LABOURS OF HERCULES B9 HOME ON THE RANGE DISTRIBUTED BY – THE CARTEL DISTRIBUTED BY – REVOLVER PHONOGRAPHIC COPYRIGHT ℗ – DISCETHNIQUE RECORDS COPYRIGHT © – DISCETHNIQUE RECORDS RECORDED AT – PATHWAY STUDIOS PRESSED BY – MPO ACOUSTIC BASS – HANK YOUNG ART DIRECTION – H.
