Pictured: Mark Volman & Howard Kaylan (a.k.a. The Phlorescent Leech & Eddie).

[Former Turtles vocalists] Mark [Volman] and Howard [Kaylan] had known [Frank] Zappa for years – the Turtles had appeared on the same bill with the Mothers at the Trip and the Whisky and they saw the Mothers play the Garrick on several occasions and visited Frank at the Charles Street apartment in New York. Jim Pons, bass player with the Turtles (also shortly to join the Mothers) was a friend of [Zappa’s wife] Gail’s from her pre-Zappa days on the Strip. Not only that, but Kaylan was Herb Cohen’s cousin. Herb gave them tickets for the Zubin Mehta concert and afterwards they went backstage. Zappa told them: ‘I’m putting a new band of Mothers together. We’re going to go to Europe . . . we’re gonna play a bunch of shows and then we’re gonna make a movie. Are you interested?’ For Mark and Howard it was a brilliant solution to their problems.

Mark Volman said at the time: ‘We bring a lot of commerciality to the Mothers and Frank brings us a lot of jump-off points for heavy satire.’ Mark and Howard sang their own hits on stage and parodied them as part of Frank’s show – a remarkably unselfish contribution considering the Turtles had six US Top 20 hits between 1965 and 1969, including Dylan’s ‘It Ain’t Me Babe’ and their biggest ‘Happy Together’, while Zappa had none. Frank clearly relished the fact that on the inside sleeve of Freak Out! he had quoted the Turtles’ manager Reb Foster saying: ‘I’d like to clean you boys up a bit and mould you. I believe that I could make you as big as the Turtles.’ Now he had the Turtles in his band – no doubt a further example of what Zappa called ‘conceptual continuity.’

[Tengo] went home, went to bed, and dreamed. He hadn’t had such a vivid dream in a very long time. He was a tiny piece in a gigantic puzzle. But instead of having one fixed shape, his shape kept changing. And so—of course—he couldn’t fit anywhere. As he tried to sort out where he belonged, he was also given a set amount of time to gather the scattered pages of the timpani section of a score. A strong wind swept the pages in all directions. He went around picking up one page at a time. He had to check the page numbers and arrange them in order as his body changed shape like an amoeba. The situation was out of control. Eventually Fuka-Eri came along and grabbed his left hand. Tengo’s shape stopped changing. The wind suddenly died and stopped scattering the pages of the score. “What a relief!” Tengo thought, but in that instant his time began to run out. “This is the end,” Fuka-Eri informed him in a whisper. One sentence, as always. Time stopped, and the world ended. The earth ground slowly to a halt, and all sound and light vanished.

When he woke up the next day, the world was still there, and things were already moving forward, like the great karmic wheel of Indian mythology that kills every living thing in its path.

…Eighteenth-century Haiti became a hellish outpost, marked by avarice, brutality and White fear at being so outnumbered. It was also a pleasure-loving land where younger sons sent off to make their fortunes tried to recreate the château life of home. Decadence requires a soundtrack, and African musicians were pressed into service to play the English ‘country dances’ (contredanses) that were so popular with the French aristocracy. The history of popular music sparkles with styles born out of failed attempts at mimicry. Brits trying to play American rock ’n’ roll created something fresh, as did Jamaicans imitating New Orleans rhythm and blues, to name but the most obvious and recent of countless examples. In providing the music for French dances, Africans in Haiti planted the seeds of what we now call ‘Latin music’.

…A flight to Brussels followed by a day or two of recording became a rite of passage for Congolese groups. They’d return home with one copy of the tape (often containing as many as twenty songs) for the local pressing plant, while the Belgians went into action with another, shipping singles to every corner of Africa south of the Sahara and north of apartheid. Congolese groups weren’t just streets ahead of the rest of Africa in musical sophistication, but also in terms of business and logistics. Across the sixties and seventies, tours would follow the vinyl in wider and wider loops, eventually reaching the West Indies, Europe and Japan. Some musicians and composers would even become wealthy, controlling their own master recordings and joining Belgian or French authors’ societies. Congolese music grew into a behemoth, a paragon of the successful exploitation of a home-grown product created by a nation and its people. Music, however, was about the only thing that went well for the new Congo.

Pictured: The late David Thomas, of Pere Ubu.

Punk to [Pere Ubu] was an alien thing. It wasn’t what we were doing. We weren’t doing loud, thrashing, anti-social, adolescent music. We saw ourselves as being more mature than that, more serious than that. We were embarrassed to be associated with the punk movement. We had done that three years earlier, four years earlier. We were doing the same thing in Rocket from the Tombs, but we had passed that stage and I hate to see things regress ’cause we were very serious about pushing music forward. You hate to see things cycle back, which is what they always do.

Although it is [King] Tubby, [Lee “Scratch”] Perry and [Augustus] Pablo who have enjoyed by far the highest profile, both at home and abroad, they were by no means the only dub masters…Keith Hudson, the youthful ghetto dentist (no kidding), whose foresight made him one of the first to be seriously interested in recording deejays and who was equally self-assured when it came to dub. His 1972 LP Furnace featured dubs of the regular tracks; then, in 1975, he came with Pick A Dub, an album of remixes of his earlier hits – plus, rather notably, a take on ‘Satta Massa Gana’ – that is up there with King Tubby’s Meets Rockers Uptown, Super Ape and African Dub Chapter Three as one of the supreme heavyweight champion dub sets.

Pictured: Serge Gainsbourg.

Histoire De Melody Nelson is Serge’s beautifully strange and brooding concept album about the love affair between a middle-aged Frenchman and an under-age English girl, set to music that sounds like a late ’60s jukebox landed on an orchestra accompanying a reading by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Staccato electric guitar, piano rolls, a quasi-psychedelic rock combo, strings, a 70-piece choir and an omnipresent thick, rubbery, doom-laden bass, that rumbles through the 28-minute, seven-track album like the wheels of a big, old car propelling the story to its fateful conclusion.

Muttering close to the microphone, Serge tells his story of sex, aesthetics, death, obsession and the impossible ideal of purity in a haunted, deadpan voice, like a French Ancient Mariner compelled to prop up another bar and recount the tale over again to yet another indifferent stranger. The opening track, ‘Melody’, finds Serge behind the wheel of his 1910 Rolls Royce, suddenly aware that the Spirit of Ecstasy – literally and figuratively – has led him to a dangerous, isolated spot in an insalubrious Paris suburb. Losing control – of the car and himself – he runs into a girl on a bicycle, watches her tumble into the road like a doll, her skirt flying over her head to reveal her innocent white knickers. Her name was Melody, an English girl, barely 15 years old, with red hair – “her natural colour” – he adds with a mix of poignancy and regret. The stage is set for danger and sex. 

— Sylvie Simmons, Serge Gainsbourg: A Fistful of Gitanes.

Moving to Los Angeles in the mid-1940s, Aberle became [eden] ahbez. He fell in with a group of nature mystics that included John and Vera Richter, the owners of the Eutropheon, a vegetarian cafe on Laurel Canyon Boulevard. Like the long-haired “hermit turned showman” William Pester – whom it is thought ahbez met in the late 1930s – the Richters were adherents of lebensreform (life reform), a philosophy that had begun in Switzerland and Germany in the first decade of the 20th century. Coexisting with the early Wandervogel – or wandering birds, the young, usually male, hikers who advocated a return to nature – lebensreform pioneers congregated in communities, foreswore private property, and practised vegetarianism and organic farming, in an attempt to counter the toxins of mechanised contemporary life. Visitors included Hermann Hesse, Carl Jung, Paul Klee, Rudolf Steiner and Hugo Ball.

This was one seedbed for an alternative lifestyle that would flourish during the next 50 years. ahbez was directly influenced by Pester – thought to be the inspiration for [ahbez-penned ’50s hit] “Nature Boy” – and came into contact with these ideas at the Eutropheon, where he worked. “Nature Boy” was the conduit through which vegetarian ideals, nonconformism and notions of living in harmony with nature began to filter into US culture. True to his beliefs, ahbez continued to live rough even after the song had earned him generous royalties; he camped for a short period under the then Hollywood sign.

At the same time, plenty of good music hit the dance floor over the summer. Arabian Nights by the Ritchie Family included the celebratory “The Best Disco in Town.” Tom Moulton released a mix of the steamily autobiographical “More, More, More” by the Andrea True Connection, featuring adult-movie actress Andrea True. Undisputed Truth came out with a radically improved eleven-minute-ten-second twelve-inch version of their song “ You + Me = Love.” And Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band eponymous album, which included the hugely popular “Sour and Sweet,” “Cherchez la Femme” and “I’ll Play the Fool,” rapidly established itself as the most important and eclectic dance release of the summer. “RCA didn’t know how big a record they had on their hands,” says [DJ-turned-executive David] Todd. “They were going to give it to adult contemporary until I passed it on to every DJ on the mailing list. I pointed out which cuts to focus on, and it went gold. That was when RCA really started to take the disco department seriously.”
