A bunch of, in many cases, hilarious Hungarian vintage calendar cards (or whatever you'd prefer to call 'em) will be found on this Hungarian site. On the picture side there are pin-ups, other collectible images, advertisement for sausages and lotto, (I think) public awareness info and more. And they are all worth a look. Just check out the Borat look-alike on the last one!

Do you know Dean Reed by the way?

"Her big hit came, not from Robey's capable pen, but from the young songwriting team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. It was "Hound Dog", which she recorded in 1953 with the Johnny Otis band. Big Mama Thornton always claimed to have written the song herself (a claim which may actually hold some validity), and her ferocious rendition of it (complete with Big Mama's growl and a nasty guitar line by Pete Lewis) held the #1 spot in the Billboard rhythm and blues charts for nine weeks. Unfortunately for Thornton, Elvis Presley's smoother and bowdlerized version was a major pop hit in 1956 and successfully eclipsed her biggest claim to fame."

"Messed -up funky jazz from an obscure early 70s UK group and an album that really lives up to its trippy cover! The tracks are all long and stretched out with lots of organ, sax, and spaced out drums and the overall style is a mix of dub-heavy funk, Afro jazz, and a bit of jazz rock jamming!"

"...the stage in pitch darkness... a terrifying bang which scared the audience silly... Jay emerging into the spotlight over the "I Put A Spell On You" riff, Henry smoking a cigarette (you know smoking's bad for you, look at Henry) FLASH... Jay's rich baritone coming as though from the back of a swamp-filled cave... howling, screaming, grunting the lyrics, Jay suddenly whipping out a battered tenor sax, blasting the enthralled audience with all the power his lungs could command... the red spotlight, white turban, shades, a skull on the end of a pole... BANG!... FLASH!... "I put a spell on you... because... you're mine... SCREAM... all mine... CRASH!"... and now a whole album full of the choicest cuts from the man's repertoire... play it loud and often. " linernotes: Roger Eagle April 1982

...is finally over. The past week's re-posts was, as I said earlier, a one-year-jubilee-thing. I also said it would last a week and one week has gone so that's it (for now). For our collective convenience I have gathered the re-posts on a new blog that I've called Martin Klasch - These Are Some Of My Favorite Things.
