RSD 2020 - Leftovers 5 Items

Record Store Day 2020 Release.

Karen Dalton; on the terrace, Air have a drink with Smokey Robinson and Rog er Waters; while in the kitchen, Audrey Hepburn, Dennis Wilson and Phoenix are considering a trip to the West Coast. No other alchemist could gather such precious gems with such a cohesive result. Surf is indeed much more than a covers album, it is a genuine Daho record with splashes of folk, echoes of soul, psychedelic vibes… Owning his legendary eclectism, the singer has fun letting himself go. He sings eternal classics with respect, envy, love and honesty (I Can’t Escape From You, My Girl Has Gone, Moon River), performs and records with sixteen musicians including the David Whitaker strings at Abbey Road (Glad To Be Unhappy), and also rediscovers forgotten gems (the amazing You Choose by the Pet Shop Boys). Daho is of course a pop icon, an idol who performs for ardent fans in sold-out venues, but he is also, just like you and me, a human being. Like us, he loves, falls out of love, hopes, loses himself, gets excited and, at night, alone at home, plays and hums songs that tell stories. With Surf, using the words of other songwriters, Daho reveals himself like never before. He shares his personal playlist, and offers us an intimate record full of glowing beauty and pure melancoly. A friend for our future emotions. (Matthieu Dufour)

Born Samantha Owens in Liverpool, Jones began her recording career in The Vernon Girls, a female singing group affiliated with the Vernon Football Pools company; they created a popular Beatles tribute album in 1964 with producer Charles Blackwell, who launched Jones’ solo career that same year. Blackwell producer a debut solo LP for Ascot in 1968; two years later, Larry Page released sophomore set A Girl Named Sam, with Austrian wunderkind Mark Wirtz casting her in the broad realm of pop, though most of the songs describe romantic failures. The album thus has a tongue-in-cheek cover of Burt Bacharach’s “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again” and credible renditions of Aretha’s “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman” and Jackie DeShannon’s “Put A Little Love In Your Heart.” Limited green vinyl 180gr press with one bonus track for RSD 2020.
