Unkle Max Radio Show Playlist
Monday, March 6, 2006 8-9 am EST
WRFM

General comments:
1 - A much harder rocking show than I've done recently.
2 - The station STILL hasn't fixed the board. Both CD players are mono: one CD player plays only the left channel through both speakers, and the other CD player plays only one channel through one speaker. I don't see why they'd want to fix this; I mean, it's not like hearing both channels of a stereo recording is IMPORTANT or anything.

Paul McCartney - "Vanilla Sky"
(Live version of this track from his BACK IN THE USA cd)

Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers - "New England"
(From the Sanctuary double CD ROADRUNNER ROADRUNNER)

Utopia - "That's Not Right"
(From the import CD DEFACE THE MUSIC on Bearsville. I don't think this title has been issued domestically on CD. One of my all-time favorite albums; a great tribute-in-spirit to the Beatles.)

The Beatles - "All My Loving"
The Beatles - "Things We Said Today"
(Speaking of whom... two tracks from disc two of the LIVE AT THE BBC set.)

Mighty Blue Kings - "Baby You Rich"
(An oft-played favorite of mine, from the R-Jay CD COME ONE, COME ALL.)

Carl Perkins - "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On"
(I actually prefer Carl's version of this song, the title track from his 1959 Columbia album, to Jerry Lee's hit. Wilder in a way, if that's possible. This is a Sony Special Products CD reissue; I'm not sure if it's still in print or not.)

Elvis Presley - "I Got A Woman"
(From that great first RCA album.)

Blue Ridge Rangers - "Workin' On A Building"
(John Fogerty's first solo album, on Fantasy. Great vocals, as always. Unlike some of the tracks on this album, very loose feel... on a couple tracks on this Lp, the instrumental tracks were almost mechanical.)

Sir Douglas Quintet - "In The Jailhouse Now"
(A great early '70s SD5 track from one of my favorite CDs, Demon Music's THE ROOTS OF DOUG SAHM.)

The Beatles - "Some Other Guy"
(Another track from LIVE AT THE BBC.)

Elvis Presley - "Hound Dog"
Elvis Presley - "Money Honey"
(Comment would be superfluous.)

Dick Dale - "King of the Surf Guitar"
Dick Dale - "Surf Beat"
Dick Dale - "Take It Off"
(As I stated on the air, I've always wished I was the guy screaming in the background of "Surf Beat." If I was a woman, I'd probably wish I was one of the singers on "King Of The Surf Guitar," on which the DRUMS AND BASS were not audible because the ^&*%$#!!BOARD IS WIRED WRONG!!!!!! Not that that's an ISSUE with me or anything...)

The Move - "Do Ya" (Demo)
The Move - "Blackberry Way"
(Two by the Move: "Do Ya" is actually a take of the song that the group intended for airing on the BBC but never submitted --it's a bonus track on the recent MESSAGE FROM THE COUNTRY reissue-- and "Blackberry Way" is a track from the group's LIVE AT THE BBC collection.)

Frank Sinatra - "The Days of Wine and Roses"
(Seems a strange way to end this show... but my friend Judy was listening, and she wanted to hear some Frank... and actually, it wasn't incongruous. One of those great Nelson Riddle charts, this is the title cut from a 1964 album, and is one of the last Riddle-Sinatra records of the 60s to not feature that godawful roller rink organ that Nelson stuck into the arrangements on the STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT album.)
