Dave Edmunds
b. April 15, 1944 Cardiff, Wales
As a ten-year-old, he first played in 1954 with a band called the Edmunds Bros, a piano duo with his older brother Geoff. Then the brothers were in the Stompers, later called the Heartbeats, formed around 1957.
Then Dave and Geoff were in The 99ers. After that Dave Edmunds was in Crick Feathers' Hill-Bills formed in about 1960. The first group that Edmunds fronted was The Raiders formed in 1961. In 1966, after a short spell in a Parlophone recording band, the Image (1965–1966), Edmunds shifted to a more blues-rock sound with the short-lived band, Human Beans. After just eighteen months, the core of Human Beans formed a new band called Love Sculpture who released their debut single "River to Another Day" in 1968.
Their second single was a quasi-novelty reworking Aram Khachaturian's "Sabre Dance" as a speed- rock number. "Sabre Dance" became a hit after garnering the enthusiastic attention of British DJ John Peel,. After Love Sculpture split, Edmunds had a UK Christmas Number 1 single in 1970 with "I Hear You Knocking". Although he continued to release solo albums, he was smart enough to get into production

The group recorded two more albums before splitting up in 1969. When Davis’ death was announced, Stevie called him “my brother”.

Bruce Eder of AllMusic writes:
The debut album by Manfred Mann holds up even better 40 years on than it did in 1964. It's also one of the longest LPs of its era, clocking in at 39 minutes, and there's not a wasted note or a song extended too far among its 14 tracks.
By the way, the American version of the album is actually the second US release and completely different from the British and Canadian ones.

(Paul McCartney)
45 Capitol Records – 5175
London
Peter Asher: vocals
Gordon Waller: vocals
Vic Flick: lead guitar
Produced by George Martin and Norman Newell, 1964
McCartney wrote the song when he was 16. When he moved into the London home of his then-girlfriend Jane Asher in 1963, sharing a room with her brother Peter Asher, who asked McCartney if he could use the song after he and Gordon Waller had signed a recording contract as Peter and Gordon. McCartney described John Lennon's reaction to the song: "The funny first line always used to please John. 'Please lock me away –' 'Yes, okay.' End of song." Lennon said of the song that "I think that was resurrected from the past. ... I think he had that whole song before the Beatles. ... That has the line 'Please lock me away' that we always used to crack up at."
McCartney did not think the song was good enough for the Beatles. As such, the song was never released by the Beatles, and the only known recording of the song by any member of the Beatles is the original demo of the song performed by McCartney, which is now in the possession of Peter Asher.

Lithman came up through the British blues scene and moved to San Francisco in 1971. There he became associated with the avant-garde group The Residents. It is said he was given the name 'Snakefinger' by The Residents after looking at a photograph of Lithman in which his finger looks like a snake about to attack his violin. He performed and recorded with The Residents as Snakefinger and The Vestal Virgins. During a routine gig in Linz, Austria he suffered a heart attack and died at the age of 38. His new single "There's No Justice in Life" was released on the same day as he died.

b. 29 November 1933 Macclesfield UK / d. 22 July 2024 California (90)
In October 1965, before joining Peter Bardens' group, Peter Green had the opportunity to fill in for Eric Clapton in John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers for four gigs. Soon afterwards, when Clapton left the Bluesbreakers, Green became a full-time member of Mayall's band from July 1966. A year later he formed the Fleetwood Mac with John McVie and Mick Fleetwood.
Mike Vernon, a producer at Decca Records recalls Green's début with the Bluesbreakers:
“As the band walked in the studio I noticed an amplifier which I never saw before, so I said to John Mayall, "Where's Eric Clapton?" Mayall answered, "He's not with us anymore, he left us a few weeks ago." I was in a state of shock but Mayall said, "Don't worry, we got someone better." I said, "Wait a minute, hang on a second, this is ridiculous. You've got someone better Than Eric Clapton?" John said, "He might not be better now, but you wait, in a couple of years he's going to be the best." Then he introduced me to Peter Green.”

Mostly active in the 70s and early 80s. Considered to be a pioneer of commercial electronic music. He played in various bands, including Mean Street and The Lasers before forming Tubeway Army. He picked the surname “Numan” from an advert in the Yellow Pages for a plumber whose surname was Neumann. He became known for his android stage look which came about because of an appearance on BBC TVs “Top of the Pops”. He broke out with acne before the show (due to nerves) and wore so much make-up to cover up his spots that became his ‘Look’.

The Replacements' history began in Minneapolis in 1978 and lasted until 1999 and have since done some re-union work. They first called themselves "Dogbreath" and began covering songs by Aerosmith, Ted Nugent and Yes without a singer. One day as Paul Westerberg, a janitor in Senator David Durenberger's office, was walking home from work, he heard a band playing in the Stinson brother’s house.
"They didn't even know what punk was. They didn't like punk. Chris had hair down to his shoulders," Westerberg told an interviewer. But after the band members discovered bands like the Clash, the Jam, the Damned and the Buzzcocks, Dogbreath changed its name to the Impediments and played a drunken performance at a church hall gig in June 1980. After being banned from the venue for disorderly behavior, they changed the name to the Replacements.

The 1975 Reunion LP ‘No Substitute’, was hardly that. It was more like a Joe solo album featuring Joe singing Joe songs, playing most of the instruments with Mike McKenna on electric guitar. It was a companion LP recorded around the same time as Joe’s second solo album, Sophisto in 1975. Photographs on No Substitute by Mr. Casual, Hank Reuben Davidson.
1975 was also the year that Mr Joe found some paints in the garbage and decided to see what he could do with them. From then on, when he performed, he wore overalls with shorts that were covered in paint. He refused to perform anywhere where smoking was permitted. He used to play at small venues, like The Ritz, with Colin Linden who looked like father and son.

The front cover for The Pill LP says: “A Satirical look at current events and customs both controversial and scandalous…by the greatest entertainers since Clayton Powell and Goldwater.” They recorded several albums featuring these kinds of songs.
