[br]I read this bit from the liner notes of an Association anthology and it just fit 
our 60's music so well.   It is likely why all you that weren't there, still feel 
what we did.   The music of the 60's is filled with the COLOURS OF THE DAY...

[i]The songs, words, and music on this album come from a world that doesn't 
exist anymore...

The word album doesn't even need to exist, its meaning is something
totally different to a lot of you who are now reading this.

[b]Once Gepetto dies, the toys just aren't the same anymore...[/b]

The 60's were a vast sea of energies, synergies, colours, and yes, troubles, 
which won't repeat and perhaps shouldn't.  Even more than that, they can't.

You had to be there.

I was,but as a child.  When I hear that world--and yes, I still hear it--I am 
filled with something apart from memory and separate from nostalgia.

I can't go back there, and I know most times I don't want to, except when
I long to see those colours again.  There is plenty of pop music today that
conveys the happiness and joy that life can be.  But those COLOURS are 
missing.

This record(another arcane word) was compiled by myself and a few 
people who aren't around to hear it: Bob Hyde, who appreciated the 
beauty of human voices blending, and my mom, who, through her own 
journey to find herself in those times, showed me and often painted
me those colours.

Do you here fell and see those colours too?  You must.  That has to be what
draws you to the DOORS, and Nick Drake, and the Beatles.....the 
COLOURS of the DAY!

here is a mind trip of its own..full of those colours!  Close your eyes and play it loud....relax and float downstream.   Yes The Association recorded this FIVE longgggg years before ZEP...Association were the first to use that wall of amps and were the loudest band in their day.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xti6ekXt8E&feature=related   "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You".    ...a bit different than ZEP but cool.

[b]And Ed Sullivan was one to capture the colours of the day better than any
other empresario.[/b]

rocker	Posted - 03/05/2010 : 14:09:22 Over the weekend I was browsing some vinyl in a music shop and picked up some Fairports (House Full and Gladys Leap) and "Birthday" by the Association which I never had. Some nice melodic stuff there on that record!

"Everything That Touches" you has souch a great sound and for me, is a kind of Association version of "All You Need Is Love".... A great love anthem. Then put on your dancing shoes for the impossibly catchy "TIME FOR LIVIN'" SUNSHINE WEST COAST POP AT ITS BEST!!! WITH THAT 60'S FLOWER POWER MESSAGE. ____________________________________________________________ Everybody's got something to hide 'cept for me and my monkey.

lemonade kid	Posted - 25/04/2010 : 01:20:08 quote: Originally posted by John9 Thanks for presenting this LK. I heard it for the the first time only a couple of years ago - until then it had been the most elusive Association song. I think that I am right in saying that it was first released in 1973 as the b-side of a single. It didn't get a CD release until Rhino's anthology...and even then, it was left off the UK edition of that same anthology because of licensing issues. About three years ago it was included on the Japanese expanded version of the classic 1972 Waterbeds in Trinidad album. You know for a group whose reputation was largely founded on singles, The Association had some great albums. My favourite would be their self titled LP from 1969. Producer Bones Howe had stepped down following the band's refusal to record Macarthur Park and in came John Boylan who helped the band fashion a more folk based sound on songs like Under Branches, Dubuque Blues and Goodbye Forever. You know your Association. I still have my original MONO vinyl of "Along Comes....The Association" My favorite...I don't know how it stayed in mint condition...I played the hell out of it! When I put the new digital CD on, I must admit I had to up the bass & treble....it still can't compare to my mono vinyl on Valiant If any of you wish for FINALLY a better (vastly more complete) anthology of The Association, "Just The Right Sound" double CD on Warner/Rhino IS perfect, as you said, J9.... with some unreleased tracks too...51 tracks with a some nice liner notes. Look for it on amazon for a good price. (USA version) That indeed is a perfect description....JUST THE RIGHT SOUND! ____________________________________________________________ Everybody's got something to hide 'cept for me and my monkey.

lemonade kid	Posted - 24/04/2010 : 23:06:39 Turn this up seriously loud..... *NAMES, TAGS, NUMBERS & LABELS* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--EqbOuIQSk ...with lyrics for those who have somewhat of a language barrier! ENJOY! They started the early sixties as the first folk-rock-pop-psych band out of LA....or anywhere. Then finished the decade and into the early 70's still holding on to the colors of the days that made the 60's special. When a founding member died of a drug overdose later in the 70's, the band ended too. But this song says it all-- about what the sixties meant to us..what we were trying to be and not to be..... Of course, in the process we got labeled, tagged, numbered--freaks, hippies, flower children, FOOLS, but we didn't care. It was all about peace, love and freedom. The Association, along with some of the best artists of the 60's will likely never make it into the Hall of Fame, but we will keep the flame burning! Anyone else remember this song...or if it's your first listen...enjoy, and let me know what you think!! ____________________________________________________________ Everybody's got something to hide 'cept for me and my monkey.

Thanks for mentioning Collin's IN MY LIFE lp...I love that one! ....Inspiation?

markk	Posted - 20/04/2010 : 21:37:09 I'm with you 100% LK with both pieces of music. All we can do is remember it fondly, try to still live it, and pass it on to our children. It does reach a place that never dies.
lemonade kid	Posted - 19/04/2010 : 15:25:16 Donovan was a great one for covering the colours of the 60's...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EPfyID0nZ4 COLOURS Nice video too..... And nothing runs deeper than this one for me....SEASON OF THE WITCH. If you haven't heard it...please do now. Gives me the chills. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92HjH1GG3ro&feature=related It is worth noting that the album that the above song appeared on, SUNSHINE SUPERMAN, released in 1966, is one of the first "psychedelic" albums and is the first to reference certain lifestyle drug-use in song. It was very innovative...with it's arrangements, unusual instruments and the mono version is considered an aural masterpiece. NOTABLE guest artists (show just how respected DONOVAN was) include Jimmy Page. A spinning shot of the LP on EPIC was included in the video for BEATLE's "A Day In The Life"...Donovan was one of a few invited to the Beatle's recording session of "A Day..." Donovan also taught John & Paul his unique guitar finger-picking style, which they both used on songs from the WHITE ALBUM. ____________________________________________________________ Everybody's got something to hide 'cept for me and my monkey.
