Remembering #ShelTalmy!
“‘Cause he gets up in the morning
And he goes to work at nine
And he comes back home at five-thirty
Gets the same train every time
‘Cause his world is built ’round punctuality
It never fails”
"I Can't Explain" is a song by English rock band #theWho, written by #PeteTownshend and produced by #ShelTalmy. It was released as a single in the United States on 19 December 1964 by #Decca and on 15 January 1965 in the United Kingdom by #Brunswick. It was the band's second single release.
On recent crate digging journeys I found this original UK copy of The Pentangle's 1969 (No.5 UK) hit LP "Basket Of Light." I've had this before on a US LP and I don't remember it ever sounding this great. Maybe I'm just more "ready" for appreciating it now. Whatever. I'm diggin' it. Produced by Shel Talmy too!

In The Rock 9/2/1964: The Kinks “You Really Got Me” is released in the states. The kids who bought all those guitars in February heard that fuzz tone, and the garage rock explosion was turned on its head. #Kinks #RockHonorRoll #ShelTalmy

Remembering Shel Talmy!
“And he's oh, so good
And he's oh, so fine
And he's oh, so healthy
In his body and his mind
He's a well respected man about town
Doing the best things so conservatively”
Enjoy!

What can I say about the legendary #ShelTalmy, who had a part in some of the greatest songs in #RocknRoll history? #RIP
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let Your perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.

Shel Talmy passed away. He's got to be credited in RnR history for being able to capture the hard Mod sound of the British 60s from The Who to the early Kinks. His best records had that fuzz which influenced the next generations Punks. #ShelTalmy #Freakbeat #Modbeat
