The recording industry in Lagos needed an injection of something ni order ot get the- buzz back that had been missing since the early 1960s, before the war had started, and Fela was just the person to administer it.

In our times of the internet and worldwide, instant communication, it’s easy to forget how things were before the spread of ideas became instant, but when Fela and his band returned from California (where they’d been honing and revolutionising their sound for nearly nine months) he brought with him much of the feeling for experimentation and fusion that had exploded in the late 1960s in America. This was not mirrored in West Africa in any way in late 1969: the let-it-all-hang-out youth culture of Europe and America had not really made it there yet. Unbeknown to many Africans, American jazz, rock and soul musicians had begun looking to Africa and the wider world for new influences, and Fela realised that now was the time for Africa to respond. He believed passionately that what was needed in African music was a big dose of African culture, and that domestic music had become far too sterile in its approach and not African enough by any stretch.

— Miles Cleret, liner notes from Nigeria Afrobeat Special:The New Explosive Sound in 1970’s Nigeria.

Then just as the [Roky] Erickson single appeared, so the Thirteenth Floor Elevators suddenly became a hip name to drop. First Television’s Tom Verlaine and Richard Hell raved about the group, even going so far as to perform ‘Fire Engine’, an Elevators original, as a kind of homage. Then Patti Smith, who always knew a good bandwagon when she jumped on one, immediately cited the group as ‘inspirational’. Cleveland’s Pere Ubu did likewise. All of a sudden, old long-deleted Elevators albums (there are four in all) were changing hands in London record stores for twenty pounds or more.

Erickson meanwhile was recording demos of new songs – he boasted of there being some three hundred to choose from – with titles like ‘Creature with the Atom Brain’, ‘I Walked with a Zombie’, ‘Mine Mine Mind’, ‘Bloody Hammer Dr Chane’, ‘Night of the Vampire’, ‘Don’t Shake Me Lucifer’, ‘I Think of Demons’ and ‘Bo Diddley was a Headhunted’. Tapes circulated around proved conclusively that the perverse brilliance of ‘Two Headed Dog’ was not a one-off. Like Syd Barrett’s, Erickson’s music expressed a state of sanity dangerously at odds with convention. While the likes of David Byrne and Richard Hell attempted to articulate the psychotic mentality through the craft of study and assimilation, Erickson was quite simply the real thing running rampant.

Pictured: Ginger Johnson.

Regarded by many admirers as the godfather of Afrobeat, Nigerian-born percussionist and bandleader George Folunsho ‘Ginger’ Johnson came to London in 1943 to join the British Merchant Navy, remaining in the city at the end of World War II. After playing with Ronnie Scott and the Edmundo Ros Orchestra, [Ginger Johnson] recorded for Melodisc in the mid-fifties, cutting some of the earliest African music made in Britain. By the middle of the following decade, Ginger — a mentor to the young Fela Kuti — and his band were part of the burgeoning London underground scene. A regular at the early Notting Hill Carnivals (footage on YouTube shows him performing on a float at the inaugural 1966 event), he took part in many of the capital’s psychedelic happenings…accompanying the Rolling Stones when they played ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ at Hyde Park. Disc & Music Echo hailed [Johnson’s African Party lp] as “hot, exciting music…ecstatic sounds, incredible African percussion and chants and freaky horns.”

Pictured: Phil Manzanera.

Phil Manzanera was the only posh member of Roxy Music. His mother was Colombian and his English father worked for the airline BOAC (and earlier, his son speculated, could well have been a spy operating in Latin America). Manzanera had enjoyed a cosmopolitan youth flitting between various South American countries and his boarding school in London. During his later years at Dulwich College, he formed the psychedelic school band Pooh and the Ostrich Feathers, which evolved into the more serious proposition Quiet Sun. Influenced by Zappa, Pink Floyd and Soft Machine, the group’s music – played insanely fast at strange time signatures – earned them a reputation as ‘just about the most listener-unfriendly band in London’ (according to King Crimson’s Pete Sinfield).

If a Volkswagen van or VW Bug came by, you definitely had it made, as more than likely it was driven by a hippie, still cruising the Strip long after the Summer of Love. One time, I was with a couple of girls and we caught a ride from this hippie in a van. He was trying to impress the girls by playing them tapes of his own music. It sounded like a psychedelic mishmash to us. We were like “Yeah, yeah, hippie, OK.” Until a song we recognized came on, “Pushin’ Too Hard” by the Seeds. We suddenly realized we’d hitched a ride with the lead singer of the Seeds, Sky Saxon. Later, I’d find out he was playing us his first tapes as Sky Sunlight. He told us he was a dishwasher at the Source health food restaurant on Sunset Strip. Still, we were more concerned with getting to where we wanted to go: a motel party thrown by Phast Phreddie. When we told Phreddie that Sky Saxon had just dropped us off, he freaked.

I LOVE other cities—I do. Whenever I go to San Francisco or New York, I wonder what I’m doing in the land of smoggy freeways, earthquakes, fires, and floods. Still, when I get back to L.A. I’m always glad. Nowhere else is it possible to pass for cute long after the point where you’re obliged to conduct yourself like the matronly age you are. If you don’t, people will accuse you of not having good taste—of being too L.A. for words…In L.A., it’s so much easier to look healthy, because here nobody looks askance at you for running around in gym clothes. In fact, for some of us, gym clothes are all we’ll wear. In fact, there’s something fabulous about these great new running bras—you can look very sexy and like you don’t care. I used to feel I had to apologize for everyone here using their skin and Lycra as outerwear. Eventually, I realized it’s what I love about L.A.—it keeps juices coursing and interest high. If you don’t want to think about such things, you should stay home or move to Seattle…And in spite of quakes, floods, fires, and traffic, the cold showers here are never as bad as winters in other towns, where you sell your soul to survive, where wearing the right clothes, marrying the right man, and having good taste are everything. Where the worst thing you can be is “too L.A.”

Pictured: The Paley Brothers.

But when Seymour Stein, the president of Sire Records…signed Brian to a solo contract, he insisted that he be allowed to appoint his own coproducer to help Brian stay organized and on-task….Stein tapped staff producer Andy Paley, a multi-instrumentalist/producer who had been a Brian fanatic since his grade school days in Boston. Later he’d formed the Paley Brothers with his brother, Jonathan, and recorded an album at Brother Studios in the mid-1970s. Ten years later Paley had become a full-time producer, working on albums for artists ranging from Patti Smith to Jerry Lee Lewis. But when Stein called to tell the Boston-based musician about his new opportunity in California, Paley didn’t hesitate. He jumped on an airplane for the coast and was soon installed in an apartment building in Burbank, from which he commuted every day to Brian’s house in Malibu to help his hero write and record a batch of new songs. “We started writing pretty much right away,” Paley recalls. “Brian’s house was right on the water, and the atmosphere was pretty cool. Except that [Wilson’s psychiatrist Eugene] Landy was checking me out, trying to use me as someone he could manipulate to help him get stuff out of the record company.”

Pictured: August Darnell a.k.a. Kid Creole.

August Darnell became a pivotal creative figure at the label after Bob Blank introduced him to [Ze label founder Michael] Zilkha. The Bronx-raised son of a French-Canadian mother and Dominican father, Darnell made his name as the co-leader of the disco-meets-swing-jazz outfit Dr. Buzzard’s Original “Savannah” Band and the producer of Machine’s late disco anthem “There but for the Grace of God Go I.” When Zilkha invited him to remix “Contort Yourself,” he jumped at the opportunity on the basis that it would expand his “horizons as an individual” to “get involved with something like that.” Zilkha hovered in the studio as Darnell obsessed over the record’s kick drum, slowed its tempo, and softened its texture while retaining its swagger and menace. “Although James White and the Blacks were meant to be a disco band,” observes the label boss, “it wasn’t until that remix that the vision was truly realized.”

“We had a lot of fun recording [Sabotage/Live] there [CBGB’s] on New Year’s Eve. It was dark and greasy. You went there to lose control. I retain affection for the place. Not for the $8 beers, but it was a centre, and everybody knew about it and gravitated towards it. At the end, Hilly [Kristal, founder and owner] wanted it moved to Vegas. That’s branding. If I was a brand, I’d move to Las Vegas.”
