PLAYLIST
01 - Daler
Mehndi & The Wolfmen -
Two Eyes
|
 |
No link
to buy this as it hasn't been released yet. This
collaboration began as a project for The Wolfmen who have essentially
created a new backing track to Daler Mehndi's "Two
Eyes". So pleased is India's #1 selling
singer with this that it is rumoured that the Wolfmen have
been offered to do the whole album. Currently
storming the BBC Asian Network Chart.

02 - Clash
- 1977
|
 |
Originally the flip side to The Clash's first single
White Riot, released in March 1977. Their
first album (The Clash) was released the same
year to considerable success in the UK. However, their label,
CBS, initially declined to release it in the
United States, waiting until 1979 before releasing a modified
version in the US, after the UK original had become the
best-selling import album of all time in the United States.
Taken from the featured Carty FM compilation 1977 The
Spirit Of Punk.

03 - Skids
-
Into The Valley
|
|
A #10
hit in 1979 for the Scottish punk band, The Skids.
The single was lifted from their Scared To Dance
album and remains a favourite of soccer fans of English
Premiership side Charlton Athletic (as their ground is
called The Valley) and of Scottish Premiership
side Dunfermline Athletic (as that's the band's home
town). Lead singer Stuart Adamson eventually left
to form Big Country. Taken from the featured
Carty FM compilation 1977 The Spirit Of Punk.

04 - fuTuRo
-
Keep Tomorrow Hanging
|
 |
Steve
Lima is the guy behind the awesome fuTuRo mixes.
And this just has to be one of the best around. The
Supremes vs The Stereophonics (in fact, I actually
say the Manic Street Preachers and Diana Ross in the podcast!), from Detroit to
Wales. Sheer perfection. fuTuRo uses many of the
Motown acappellas which have been released on special
karaoke CD's which feature original artists from the label.
The quality of these recordings are superb and it's only a
matter of time until a Carty mix is born. Check
out more of his mixes at his site.

05 -
Blancmange - Living On The Ceiling
|
|
The
track never fails to hit me right in the Eighties. A Top
Ten hit in 1982 in the UK and was even re-recorded for the
BBC back then. For some reason the line "I'm
up the bloody tree" would re-sung as "I'm up the
cuckoo tree"! It seems so pathetic 25 years on.
The compilation on the left, The Platinum Collection
was released in 2006 and is selling at a silly price at
Amazon.co.uk!

06 - Farmers
Boys - More Than A Dream
|
|
Bang
Goes My Stereo! Don't panic! That's what this band
were called before they were called The Farmer's Boys.
And coming from Norwich they probably were sons of farmers!
This was released in 1982, but not their biggest hit.
That came two years later. Carty FM listener Chippy
requested more 80's in the podcast and suggested something by
The Farmers Boys and Blancmange. Glad to be of service.

07 - Wide
Boy Awake - Chicken
Outlaw
|
|
During
Antfest 2007, whilst sharing MC and DJ duties with
ex-Ants bass guitarist Kevin Mooney, he kindly gave me
a CD of eight remastered Wide Boy Awake tunes (The
EP Collection). The first of which is featured
here, Chicken Outlaw, their first single after
Kevin "left" the Ants. This happens to be the extended
version. The single was released in 1982 and backed with
Slang Teacher - the bassline of which is
suspiciously similar to Don't Be Square (Be There)
by the Ants. Something Mr Mooney seemed surprised at
when I put this to him. Adam Ant also covered
Chicken Outlaw (titled Black Pirates) as
part of Kev's other project The Lavender Pill Mob.

08 - Damned
- New Rose
|
|
The
Damned were the first UK punk band to release a single,
album and tour the US. That single was the brilliant
New Rose backed with a crazy version of the
Beatles' song Help! on the flip.
New Rose was one of the first non-Ant songs I was
playing on my Kays acoustic guitar back in those
pre-band days. No wonder I ended up being a drummer!
Taken from the featured Carty FM compilation 1977 The
Spirit Of Punk.

09 - Jeremy
Healy & Amos -
Stamp!
|
|
I
remember receiving the promo 12" of this from Positiva
Records back in 1996. I instantly fell in love with
it and chart returned it at #1 for many many weeks.
Seeing the dance floor go crazy to this was better than any
drug doing the round at the time. It was only until I
read the blurn sheet that came with promos that I realised
Jeremy Healy was one third of the trio who are next on
this playlist. This CD single can be picked up
rediculously cheap at Amazon (link left). One pence for
crying out loud. I've just ordered one to get this
monster on CD at last!

10 - Haysi
Fantayzee - John
Wayne Is Big Leggy
|
|
Yes,
Jeremy Healy was a member of Haysi Fantayzee, along
with sexy Kate Garner and the quiet dude always in the
background. John Wayne Is Big Leggy
and its suggestive lyrics surprisingly made it to the BBC
Radio One playlist without censorship. This track, along
with their other singles and 12" versions are now available on
a newly remastered and expanded version of their only album,
Battle Hymns For Children Singing.

11 - Adam
And The Ants - Deutscher Girls
|
|
One of
the very first Adam And The Ants recordings ever
recorded for release, just after Plastic Surgery
in fact. That and Deutscher Girls appeared
on the soundtrack to the Jubilee Cert X movie on
EG Records. When the Ants were at the height of
their chart career in 1981/2, EG decided to release the
track, backed with Plastic Surgery, as a single.
Adam wasn't happy with his new fan base hearing the Nazi
references in the song, so he recorded certain lines on the
quiet. The single was credited to The
Original Adam And The Ants and was featured on Top
Of The Pops to an all female dancing troupe. Sadly
the compilers of this compilation have used that re-recorded
vocal version as opposed to the one on Jubilee.

Spirit Of Punk. |
12 - Bowling
For Soup - High
School Never Ends
|
|
Confession time. I admit to forgetting the name of the
album this track was taken from in the podcast. How
could I forget The Great Burrito Extortion Case?
My studio notes were to blame. Anyway, it's another
appearance from Bowling For Soup with this great track
High School Never Ends. A request and
recommendation from Tex, who can only be described as a
BFS groupie when not drooling over Adam Ant.
(I'll get in trouble for that! Copy this now before I am
ordered to make changes!). Echoes of Toni Basil's
Mickey, but then again, it IS about High School.

13 - Blondie
-
Rip Her To Shreds
|
|
Rip Her To Shreds was just a minor hit in 1977, in
Australia and taken from their first album Blondie
from 1976. So even though it's not recognised as a
single to the rest of the world, the compilers of this new
compilation CD can only be praised for its inclusion.
In fact, radio stations in Australia played the b-side by
mistake and that song, In The Flesh, earned its
own release charting as high as #4 down under. Taken
from the featured Carty FM compilation 1977 The Spirit
Of Punk.

14 - 2 Deep
-
Life Party
|
 |
Another
track I received as a 12" promo, this time back in 1991 from
the A&M subsidiary label, Atomic. I
completely failed to recognise the sample from Burundi
Black for many years and only recently managed to
track it down on CD and 12" vinyl on eBay. This track
was featured in a Reebok TV advert in the UK at the
time and has always remained a personal favourite. |
15 -
Dubrobots -
Stop To Think Who's The Slave And Who's The Master (Ba Ba Bo)
|
|
In this
podcast I announce that the Dubrobots are a MySpace
act, yet whilst researching for this page there appears to be
no music page for this artist. (I think the link below are
still them.) I have exchanged messages with a person
about this track. He even emailed a better quality mp3
that was on his MySpace site. So putting the mystery
aside for now, this Cartrouble Part 1 sampling
track impressed me enough to keep it on the ever changing and
ever evolving Carty FM playlist.

15 - Wolfmen
- Cecilie
|
Pre-order NOW |
Cecilie is the new single from The Wolfmen and
is released on September 17th 2007. All pre-orders of
the 7" will be entered into a draw to win a copy of Adam Ant's Vive Le Rock signed by Adam and The Wolfmen
who both played on the album. And if that isn't
enough, those who pre-order the CD single could win Adam's handwritten lyrics to the
Vive Le Rock track. Names also go into a hat for that. If you pre-order BOTH
the vinyl and CD versions of Cecilie, you will be entered into another
draw. This time to win Marco's gold disc award
for the legendary Adam and the Ants album Kings Of The Wild
Frontier.
