The Rolling Stones: Schoolboy Blues (Cocksucker Blues) 1970

Here is the infamous last single recorded by The Rolling Stones for Decca Records. In 1970 The Rolling Stones’ contract with Decca had come to an end and the band had formed Rolling Stones Records. Deeca informed the band that they owed them one more single. So, to fulfil their contractual obligations The Stones gave Decca this obscenity ridden, unreleaseable blues number. Known as Cocksucker Blues but its actual title was Schoolboy Blues.

As a bonus here’s Andrew’s Blues, an obscenity ridden jam from 1965. The Andrew in the song is of course Andrew Loog Oldham.

The Velvet Underground: Squeeze1973

Here’s something a bit different to restart the site with. It’s the first album to be posted on this blog.  

This is Squeeze, the fifth Velvet Underground album. Which seems to have been all but erased from the band’s official history? No tracks from it appear on any Velvet Underground compilations or box sets. Unavailable on vinyl since the seventies, it has never officially been issued on CD. The Kismet label has released it recently on CD unlicensed. The version here was taken from vinyl.

By the time this was recorded in 1972, Mo Tucker and Doug Yule were the only band members left. Doug Yule produced and played most of the instruments on it. Mo Tucker was stopped from playing on the album by the band’s manager. The drums are performed by Ian Paice, Deep Purple’s drummer. Hence many fans do not see it as a real Velvet Underground album. Doug Yule was not included in the band when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Despite the fact he played on three of their five albums.
