All Mine -- The Essential Collection Of Alan Carvell
Alan Carvell/The Carvells
Out Of Stock
Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 444300) EM (Japan), 1970s -- Condition: New Copy
Sublime 70s pop from Alan Carvell -- billed as "the one-stop harmony man", and
one of the greatest harmony singers on the UK scene! The styles here are
influenced heavily by 60s American work by The Beach Boys, The Association,
and others -- but come across in ways that often have that more compressed
British style of the 70s -- a quality that's almost already-nostalgic, despite
a difference of only a few years from the originals -- and which creates a
nice sort of tension and increased sense of longing in many of these numbers.
Alan's working here in a huge number of settings -- solo, with groups like
Harmony Beach or The Five Sapphires, and with The Carvells on most of disc two
-- which features all the tracks from the group's legendary Skateboard Rampage
album! Carvells tracks include "Skateboard Party", "Skateboard King",
"Skateboard Racing", "The LA Run", and "Sidewalk Run" -- plus bonus previously
unissued material and radio jingles! Other material by Alan includes "Bee Gees
Medley", "Love Music", "Tonight", "Once In A While", "All Mine", "Let Me Go",
and "Please Let Me Wonder". © 1996-2008, Dusty Groove America, Inc.

Notes
Wow. Who'd have thought it!
This is Skateboard Music is a fab collection of original tracks from the 70s
that came out to accompany the second-wave of the skateboard craze that hit
the world during 1970-1975. At this time people worked feverishly on the sound
that should accompany the new, but rapidly growing phenomenon. Everyone wanted
to write the one summer-hit and to create the soundtrack of this movement.
Yet, actually nobody really knew what it should sound like exactly...!
The perfectly harmonic part-singing of bands like the English Carvells recalls
the surf music of the 60s and especially the Beach Boys. Zack Ferguson, who
rocked Italian discos with his "Aa Aa Uu Aa Ee" in 1979, presents with
Skateboard Dancin' a piece of eccentric disco-pop and Zafra's Skateboard
Shuffle is solid Funk. Mr. "The Singin' Surfer" Corky Carroll, who is best
known for Tan Punks on Board, a modern surf music classic, delivers with
Skateboard Bill a piece of classic American song-writing.
Powerpop bands like The Rivals and Wood Lane's Skateboard Saturday show that
skateboarding was also very much en vogue in England. And even Marc Bolan was
infected with the skateboard virus as his rare T. Rex demo-track Skateboard shows.
It's exactly this variety that makes the music on This is Skateboard Music so
charming, because one can already sense the marketing efforts, but it still is
- at least of today¹s perspective - wonderfully naive.
So if you want to immerse yourself in the world of Californian pools, nose
wheelies, 360s, and teenager dreams on four wheels, this is your sound!
