The story of David Seville is indeed a sad tale. A one-time seamstress, with a passion for conducting music. Coming from the out-skirts of Kingville Oklahoma, living in extreme poverty, on a dirt farm, where his mother tried to find appetizing recipes using the plentiful dirt from the farm. In a rare interview from 1955 David was quoted as saying "My mother could take the Caliche from the farm and turn it into one of the finest casserole dishes I ever ate." Having 16 brothers and sisters, money was very hard to come by. David revealed "Christmas was always hard for us, what with not a lot of money coming in from the farm. But I remember, one year, I awoke on Christmas morning and underneath the pebbles and mud that my brothers and sisters had constructed as a make-shift Christmas tree, was a present wrapped in old dixie cups and tar paper addressed to me from Santa. I pulled the tar paper off and lo and behold, the finest stick a man could ever see had been presented to me." "That stick meant more to me then all the money in the world." "I remember long days on the farm when after work, raking the dirt into piles, I would imagine myself as a conductor, conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra with my stick as my baton at Carnegie Hall."
MIDDLE YEARS:
At seventeen (no not the Janis Ian song, moron ED) David with encouragement from his siblings set out to find his fame and fortune (no not the Elvis song, simpleton, ED) in California. While there he struggled to find a music publisher who shared his dream. As luck would have it one day while sitting in the offices of Liberty records, fearing another rejection, Charles Oldmann walked in with his new clients, a trio of family Sciuridae. Mr. Oldmann had been hoping to pitch his family of singing rodents to Liberty. David was taken aback by the beauty of the middle chipmunk named Theodore. "My that's a fine set of animals there, said Seville." "You want em'" Oldmann is reportedly said to have said. "Huhh?" came back the reply. "There yours, that one in the red, with the ball cap, is nothing but trouble, his name is Alvin." With that Mr. Oldmann got up and walked out of the office. Startled, David was then called into the office. Without encouragement the chipmunk's followed in. "Sir, I have a new song for you, it's called "Witch Doctor." Upon hearing the song the producer is supposedly to have said "Great song but it's missing a catchy hook." With that Alvin asked if they could take a ten minute break and come back with the missing "hook." "Alvin? what is your idea? David said." "Here's your Goddamn hook, idiot." Alvin then said "that middle part should go like this, you fuck, ooh,eeh,ooh,ah,aah,ting tang walla walla bing bang." "WOW you're absolutely right, Alvin." David said. "Of course I'm right, you stupid asshole." And with that their careers took off. Chimpmunkmania could not be contained. Selling out The Cereal Bowl in 1963 in Cambodia in a matter of 10 seconds (never mind the venue held six people is a record that stills holds today) While on a tour of the U.K in 61' it has been reported a despondent John Lennon managed to find his way backstage and pitched his song wares to David. David heard something in these amateur and primitive recordings and bought 12 of the songs, recorded them and released them in 64' Even though by this time The Beatles had become a phenomena, the release of "The Chipmunks Sing The Beatle Hits." is what has been said to be the impetus McCartney needed to record "Sgt. Pepper" However in 65' cracks began to appear. Always relegating David's songs to b-sides only (no album cuts ever) Alvin began to exhort his authority even more. After reports surfaced that Theodore and David had been caught naked together in a hotel in Montreal, the bad press was something they could not suppress. For years Simon's drug abuse rumors were now being exposed. The incident in Paris where it was reported that Simon stole one of Jimi Hendrix's guitars and sold it for smack has never been confirmed. Perhaps Simon's low point came when he was caught in the act of giving an undercover policeman head in a dark alley. In an unprecedented move Alvin then fired Simon, and brought in Simon's twin sister "Fannie" to tour and finish vocal parts for the upcoming album "The Chipmunks Sing With Children." The Chipmunks gave it one last shot with the epic song "Alvin For President" (included here) but it was all for naught. And from here it becomes the beginning of the end. Simon's life starts to drift, his duet album with Art Garfunkel registered no hits and absolutely no airplay. His collaboration with Billy Idol amounted to some unfinished demos and half baked ideas, but has yet to see the light of day. Meanwhile sick of having to deal with the negative press and rumors of being gay, Theodore committed suicide in 68' Alvin, being the trooper that he was tried to continue with David but his heart was no longer in it. He then retired in 72' He has attempted a few comebacks but they have amounted to nothing. (God this is a long fucking text....shut up I'm making this shit up as I go)
FINAL YEARS David tried to continue on but the taste of the american consumer's had changed and he was no longer able to maintain the heady lifestyle he had obtained in the 60's. He died suffering from Alzheimer's in 94' at the Music Machine's retirement home for band composers. However he has left us forever with a catalog of memorable, hummable, and catchy tunes to last a life time. I agree that BLACK LIVES MATTER, but so does DAVID SEVILLE'S. See scan

Thanks go to Dave Sez andDRC4for photos, notes and making this available.
In the early 80's Alice Cooper kinda took a strange path - kind of a If You Can't Beat 'Em, Then Join 'Em attitude OR a Let the Shock Rock King Show You New Wave Kids On The Block How It's Done...
It started with Flush The Fashion (which I liked as a one-off kinda thing) - but Alice kept goin'...
Now, IF you didn't care much for the Special Forces LP (at the time or even now) maybe You wanna give THIS a listen!
This here is the first mix of the record - and You can compare, if You have the original - But it's much more raw and rockin' to these old ears!
I prefer this version to the final released album...
But, like with ALL music - it's up to each person to decide what they like!
My First Post over at Voodoo Wagon was a concert from 1974...
So, I thought I'd post a show from the Same Year Here!
Not much to say about this one really...It's BTO!
You know what they did...
You can recognize their hit songs on Classic Rock Radio soon as the first few notes are played...
It's a King Biscuit Flower Hour Radio Broadcast - which means the Sound Quality is Great!

A great band from Hamburg, Germany, mixing Krautrock, Electronica with some Freejazz stuff. Weird not directly understandable lyrics, so don't be dissapointed not understanding what the guy is talking 'bout - even for a german they are some riddle.
I suggest listening to "selbst die randerscheinung" ("even the peripheral matter", whatever that means ...), too ... ["i'm the texture ... i am what i am"] or going to their youtube channel for more.
Two tracks of the just released new record "nicht nicht" (means "not not"), "Proxy I" and "Proxy II" remind me to the very early Tangerine Dream ("Atem") stuff, so I add them as appetizer.
They're on bandcamp and in COVID19 times the deserved my bucks ;)

The Unreleased "Black Beauty" Album and Assorted Rarities
Studio soundboard recordings @ 160
~This is NOT the remastered version~
On the whole, this particular line-up sounds perfectly rough and
unrehearsed, generating a tense energy on “Skid” and “Stay Away” even as
they suggest a band still figuring out exactly what they can do
together. It’s a strong album, but it’s not another Forever Changes, whose accomplishments in retrospect were unrepeatable, or even another Four Sail.
On the other hand, Lee wasn’t aiming to craft something in that vein.
Still, especially considering the professional setbacks he had faced in
the years leading up to Black Beauty-- which includes being dropped by Elektra and shuffling through a series of independent labels.
