The
first release in the RAWING Sixties series comes from The Shades Of Blue who
were a band from Essex that formed in 1965 and in June of that year recorded
four originals at Tony Pikes’ Sound Studios in Putney.
‘Who’s
Laughing Now’ combines a soulful voice with an organ driven beat that has been
compared to Manchester Mod Gods, The St. Louis Union, and is destined to become
a dance-floor classic. It’s a terrific song that I really like.
Side two
features ‘So Long’ which again combines some great organ and guitar work with
soulful vocals in another up-tempo number. Again, I really like this.
With
sleeve notes from Ian Grinham and Adam Cooper, and all tracks coming directly
from quarter inch reel-to-reel tapes or original acetates, this is sure to be
an excellent and highly collectable series of 7” releases from the 1963 to 1968
period.
