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.

— David Thomas, Pere Ubu lead vocalist, quoted in Clinton Heylin’s From Velvets to Voidoids: The Birth of American Punk Rock.

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.

Pictured: eden ahbez.

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.”

Then, in the days when Des Esseintes still deemed it incumbent on him to play the eccentric, he had also installed strange and elaborate dispositions of furniture and fittings, partitioning off his salon into a series of niches, each differently hung and carpeted, and each harmonizing in a subtle likeness by a more or less vague similarity of tints, gay or sombre, refined or barbaric, with the special character of the Latin and French books he loved. He would then settle himself down to read in whichever of these recesses displayed in its scheme of decoration the closest correspondence with the intimate essence of the particular book his caprice of the moment led him to peruse.

But anyway, this short one is working to me, see, and I’m going crazy. Not doing anything, just standing still as a rabbit, going crazy. A hush has come over the whole place. Everybody’s peeping. The other girl’s working to me too now. The place gets quieter and I know everybody’s going crazy. There’s three behind the window shade. Three in the bed. The short girl has the gauze stuff caught between her legs, run between her legs and caught with her hands behind her, and she’s sawing on it and her lips are pouting and she’s sucking and I say to myself, All right, I’m from Mississippi but that don’t make me slow. So I cut for backstage. I could tell by the music and how they were sweating that it was about over anyway, plus the fact that I was about to lose my rocks. The crowd sighed and then howled but I didn’t even turn around to wave.

Pictured: Public Image Ltd. (l. to r.: Keith Levene, John Lydon, Jah Wobble).

Public Image sprang initially from [singer John] Lydon’s desire to avoid the Rock’n’Roll thrash of the Sex Pistols. He was obsessed with the space of dub, while [guitarist Keith] Levene had refined his guitar playing into a barrage of ringing noise. This was post-Punk, definitely experimental. ‘I wanted to do something which was true power,’ says [bassist Jah] Wobble, ‘not choppy rhythm guitars out of time, loud. When you’re thinking about music you’re thinking about something supposed  to have a lasting effect. That bass will be reverberating for years.’

— Jon Savage, England’s Dreaming: Anarchy, Sex Pistols, Punk Rock and Beyond.

“One thing I did through my father is set up a publishing company for me, years ago, and Joan came and teach me a lot more about publishing.One thing I know I did good was to publish all these songs I did in my name. So now I’m getting the reapings from these. I didn’t get it the first time, but I’m a long term planner.”

Pictured: A very young Travis Wammack.

Music was everywhere. Jim Kweskin’s Jug Band at Mt. Auburn’s Club 47. Patrick Sky, the Indian activist, Mitch Greenhill, and farthest out of all, the Holy Modal Rounders. Walking the street, I heard Travis picking and harmonica wailing out of a dusty storefront. Young men who looked like me, with long hair, scruffy, Navy pea jackets or fleece-lined sheepherder’s coats, blue jeans, and booted, plodded through the city streets like rugged frontiersmen, carrying Martin D28s in black hard-shell cases.
