Popcorn evening again !

It's again the first saturday of the month. So at 20hrs CET Mr (mellow) Popcorn Theo Dumoulin is on air again on Laserradio with his great prg this time called Pretty Popcorn. Very nice playlist as you can see. There are also links to earlier playlist and podcasts if you want to listen to his old shows.

If you want to join us press LaserSound.

Theo starts the second hour with Arthur Alexander's - Anna.
I had a Tsjech girlfriend with that name during the 'cold war' and visited Eastern Europe almost every month. So the song has something 'special' for me...
Anna is so well known covered by a band (which name I can't pronounce because I'm a fan of good music, so the Rolling Stones ...) from Liverpool. :-)


Here's the whole LP by Arthur Alexander (scans not included in my re-upload 2007_may), a former bus chauffeur if I remember well. Theo will tell wether or not he's in the heavenly hall of fame.
I've added some covers by eg that Liverpool Band, John Lamers (from Holland) and Paul Anka (both in German !). Also two very fine versions of You better move on by The Rolling Stones and by Larry Vine from Denmark. Especially this last one is a 'must have'.
Note the mistake Delbert McClinton (harmonica) makes at 15 seconds on Bruce Chanel's version of Hey baby ! He has too stop for a second ! Never noticed ?? On their tour in the UK Delbert learned John Lennon how to play harmonica).

Mr Theo, do you consider the single version of 'You better move on' Popcorn or not ... ? :-)

See for this all the comments. There's also the usual pass to this (I think) nice LP (which, by the way, is only in 128Kbits). If you like it try to buy to original (but I think that will not be so easy !).

I very humble ask you to leave a comment when you listened (even if it is a short while) and what you think of it.
I even more like it when you place it in de 'gastenboek' on the Laser site !!


Oefffff, new way of making my post, so I hope all the links work .. !

So please check the copy/paste method.

Thank You again

Just did download again and used the PW above. No problem.
Be sure not to take a space at the end.
I've read about sometimes problems with Mac's. Have no tip to that.

It's me again :-)
I didn't made a space at the end and I didn't had any prbs with pws before.
Not sure if there might be a limit of characters or some a mac doesn't like (maybe that one ":")
A change to "jeansmusicblog.blogspot.com" might do the trick - if not for that one - maybe for the next ones :-)

Tia,

BTW I use Winrar 3.51. If you/someone else has an older version there's also a problem.

So you have to download this new one and extract with this new pass.

I started 2 month's ago BLogging and this is the first problem. Don't like it : is of course not the intention. So, sorry for the problem but I want to solve it out.
I'll hear from you over here.

To Tia and other Mac users.

I saw this somewhere.
Maybe this can be of help.

Both the old links have long been expired. Well I posted this already one year ago. Because my low number of downloads it had to happen.

But no problem, here's a new one which can be used by real PC users but also by Mac users .. :-)

Copy and paste into one link :

In my eyes (and ears), Arthur Alexander is a forgotten and unrecognised hero in the history of pop music and R&B. I first heard his name on the Beatles cover of "Anna" and the Stones "You better move on".

It's only in recent years I've realised just what an amazing influence he was on artists in the 60s. Apart from "Anna", the Beatles also played "Soldier of love" in their live sets - they and every other beat band in the land played "A shot of rhythm and blues". Interesting that in all three songs, the Beatles copied his arrangement to the letter, or should I say, note.

A lovely lovely album, so many thanks to you for posting it. I would love to hear "Every day I have to cry" - I know the Steve Alaimo version but not Arthur's original. Any chance?
