FLIGHT 505
(Jagger/Richards)

well I was happy here at home
I got everything I need
happy being on my own
just living the life I lead
well suddenly it dawned on me
that this was not my life
so I just phoned the airline girl
and said get me on flight number five o five
get me on flight number 505

well I confirmed my reservation
then I hopped a cab
no idea of my destination
and feeling pretty bad
with my suitcase in my hand
in my head my new life
so then I told the airline girl
well, get me on flight number 505
get me on flight number 505
alright

well I sat right there in my seat
well feeling like a king
with the whole world right at my feet
of course I'll have a drink
well suddenly I saw
that we never ever would arrive
he put the plane down in the sea
the end of flight number 505
the end of flight number 505
alright

they put the plane down in the sea
the end of flight number 505
the end of flight number five o five

REASON TO BELIEVE
(Tim Hardin)

if I listen long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
still I'd look to find a reason to believe

someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else
someone like you makes it easy to give
never think of myself

if I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried

COUNTING
(Bob Lind)

now is the glimmering spinning beginning
of something I prayed for and counted the minutes
to be in the shadows of sheltering meadows
of night here with you in my arms

this is the moment that pauses to hold us
as you and I move in a background of wonder
surrounded by countless enclosures
of nocturnal unspoken music of joy

counting times you have stood at the foot of my ivory tower
and waited and called out my name by the hour
and counted on wings of my heartstrings
to carry the sound I have counted on pleading
you see how I need you come down

and now between twilight and midnight I come to you
down in my gown of soft moonbeams and starlight
bright is the evening the breezes have fenced us
and nestled against us
you're here

and warm
and mine till the time
when the dawn will awake you
and morning will shake you
the highway will take you

but now all the rays of the moon making bouquets
will swim through the luster of lingering street lights
we count on the night to hold everything even
and count on forgetting that you will be leaving
and destinies folded and then in the dawn you'll be gone

but now as the gardens of softening night time
are blossoming slowly around where we are
you and I come together
and walk through the dreams of the stars

so here while the song of the deepening evening
is singing to me from the light in your eyes
we can count on each other to move to the beach of tomorrow
and know where we've been

Edit for headphones, March 2024. Edit of a song of the 1967 album "Love In A Mist (2002 Japanese remaster uicy 3299). Warning: on this album and on the 4cd box set "The Decca Years 1965-1967" (2007 Japanese remaster uicy-90408-11) the song "Counting" is in a bad quality off-centered mono. However, it is true stereo on the "2-on-1" package "North Country Maid/Love In A Mist" (BGO Records BGOCD1227).

WITH YOU IN MIND
(Jackie De Shannon)

I'll take a walk all by myself
so I can think of nothing else
but loving you when we find time
these are the things
I'll do with you in mind

I'll pick a rose and feel the thorn
every day that you are gone
a new memory to relive I'll find
these are the things
I'll do with you in mind

there'll come a day when I can live
to go and bring you back to me
we'll dance and sing and toast someone
these are the things
I'll do with you in mind

these are the things
I'll do with you in mind

BABY CLOSE ITS EYES
(James Timothy Hardin)

singing a lullaby while the baby cries
loving parents sigh, finally baby close its eyes

every moment means so much
when your baby's skin is there to touch

every moment bringing more
that's what mother and father are for

finally baby close its eyes

every moment means so much
when your baby's skin is there to touch

every moment bringing more
that's what mother and father are for

very moment means so much
when your baby's skin is there to touch

every moment bringing more
that's what mother and father are for

Edit 2 for headphones, March 2024. "Sister Morphine" is a song written by Marianne Faithfull, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Faithfull released the original version of the song as the B-side to her Decca Records single "Something Better" on 21 February 1969. Source of this edit: the 1965 album "Come my way" 1965 (2006 remastered edition). A much different version is on the 1979 album "Broken English" (deluxe 2cd edition 2013).

The personnel for the Faithfull version are Marianne on vocals, Mick Jagger on acoustic guitar, Ry Cooder on slide guitar and bass guitar, Jack Nitzsche on piano and organ, and Charlie Watts on drums.

The original UK Decca single credited Faithfull as a co-writer, but when London Records issued the single in the United States, her name was omitted, as it was from the credits on the Rolling Stones' version of the song on their album "Sticky Fingers". After a legal battle Faithfull retained her rights as a co-author, acknowledged by the 1994 Virgin Records reissue of the Stones' album catalogue from "Sticky Fingers" through "Steel Wheels". The glimmer thieves corrected...

In the United Kingdom, Marianne's single was withdrawn by Decca due to the drug reference in the title, after an estimated 500 copies had been issued, but in other countries the single remained in release. In some territories such as the Netherlands, Italy and Japan, "Sister Morphine" appeared on the A-side. In addition, the French, US and Netherlands editions of the single actually featured alternate versions of both sides to the UK release.

In New Zealand the single with "Broken English" as b-side charted #37 in 1982.

Here are some facts about the song:

Marianne Faithfull recorded this during The Stones' "Let It Bleed" sessions (she was Mick Jagger's girlfriend at the time). Her version was released in 1969 and tanked. Decca Records pulled it after two weeks.

The song is about a man who gets in a car accident and dies in the hospital while asking for morphine.

Edit 2 for headphones, March 2024. The original title was "little greenback", referring to a US paper dollar.
The 1969 debut single of the Dutch band George Baker Selection, written by Dutch musicians Jan Visser and George Baker.
The song reached #9 in Holland and # 6 on the Cash Box magazine chart. In 1992 the song reached #1 in Japan due to a Japanese whiskey commercial,
you know, the kind of drink that tastes like after shave...

Now the whole song is about a lost dollar, well, I admit, in 1969 a dollar was worth far more than nowadays, but to drag on about it troughout the entire song? Bit strange. Still, the song has a nice rhythm & a great bass. And we may conclude this is a terrible video, with the worst ending ever: blowing bubbles and grown ups chasing them..
Oh, in 1999 Tom Jones had a #1 hit in the UK with his cover of this song!

LITTLE GREEN BAG
(Jan Visser/Hans Bouwens)

lookin' back on the track for a little greenback
got to find just the kind for losin' my mind
outta sight in the night, outta sight in the day
lookin' back on the track, gonna do it my way

outta sight in the night, outta sight in the day
lookin' back on the track, gonna do it my way
look back

lookin' for some happiness but there is only loneliness to find
jump to the left, turn to the right
lookin' up stairs, lookin' behind

lookin' for some happiness but there is only loneliness to find
jump to the left, turn to the right
lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind

yeah
lookin' back on the track for a little greenback
got to find just the kind for losin' my mind
outta sight in the night, outta sight in the day
lookin' back on the track, gonna do it my way

got to find just the kind for losin' my mind

alright

lookin' for some happiness but there is only loneliness to find
jump to the left, turn to the right

Edit 2 for headphones. "Theme From Burnt Weeny Sandwich" is a song by the "Mothers of Invention" of the album "Burnt Weeny Sandwich", released in 1970. Further more I can add this: it was a dirty rotten trick played on the original members of Mothers of Invention, a great bunch of true musicians, loving their band and their music... and one day they were sent away, no, thrown away, like a pair of old brown shoes... a big shame ! They sure would have made it !

Edit 2c for headphones, April 2013/March 2024. Dubbed video. Video of a different song. Otis Redding and his beautiful version of "That's how strong my love is". (Sorry for not being able to get my hands on Otis performing this song and for using a different song's video.)

"That's How Strong My Love Is" was a hit debut song by deep soul singer O.V. Wright in 1964. The single was a hit on the American R&B chart. The song was written by Wright's manager and publicist Roosevelt Jamison, who came from a gospel music background.

The song is a soulful love ballad and has been covered many times since, most notably by Otis Redding in 1965 and appears on his album The Great Otis Redding Sings Soul Ballads. Three other version of the song were recorded in 1965, one by The Rolling Stones on their album "Out Of Our Heads", a second by "The In Crowd", released as a single and a third by "The Hollies" on their album "The Hollies".

THAT'S HOW STRONG MY LOVE IS
(Roosevelt Jamison)

if I was the sun way up there
I'd go with love most everywhere
I'll be the moon when the sun goes down
just to let you know that I'm still around

that's how strong my love is, oh
that's how strong my love is
that's how strong my love is, baby, baby
that's how strong my love is

I'll be the weeping willow drowning in my tears
you can go swimming when you're here
I'll be the rainbow when the sun is gone
wrap you in my colors and keep you warm

that's how strong my love is, darling
that's how strong my love is, baby
that's how strong my love is, oooh
that's how strong my love is

I'll be the ocean so deep and wide
I'll get out the tears whenever you cry
I'll be the breeze after the storm is gone
to dry your eyes and love you warm

that's how strong my love is, baby
that's how strong my love is
that's how strong my love is, darling
that's how strong my love is

that's how strong my love is, so deep in
well, that's how strong my love is
so much love, yes so much love, oohh
yes so much love, y..

Edit 1e (delogoed etc.) for headphones, March 2015. A January 31, 1978 live performance in "The Old Grey Whistle Test", a British television music show on BBC2 that ran from 1971 to 1988.*
The song is shorter, a verse was left out to have the performance fit in the program.

* About the name of this show: in the musical industry many years ago a first pressing of a record was played to people they called the old greys-doormen in grey suits; the songs they could remember and whistle, having heard it just once or twice, had passed the old grey whistle test.

This backward attitude still exists widely in England: a so called British king - who in real is a descendant of the German family Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha that changed their German name to "Windsor" after World War I - is sort of idolized in that "King"dom. In real it is just a billions of British pounds consuming (= wasting) puppet show, with no meaning at all but nostalia... just a reminder of something that used to be but no longer exists... What DOES exist is rows of ambulances in front of hospitals, waiting to deliver their patients. Patients that sometimes die in the ambulance because the row is too long. True story from an ambulance chauffeur...

SULTANS OF SWING
(Mark Knopfler)

you get a shiver in the dark, it's rainin' in the park but meantime
south of the river you stop and you hold everything
a band is blowing Dixie double four time
you feel alright when you hear the music ring

and now you step inside but you don't see too many faces
comin' in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
competition in other places, but the horns, they're blowing that sound
way on down south, way on down south in London town

you check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
but it's strictly rhythm he doesn't wanna make it cry or sing
it's an old guitar is all he can afford, when he gets up under the lights to play his thing

Edit 1c for headphones of the mono single, November 2014/March 2024. Real deep bass here & there, and the flanging effect left undiluted... and a decent start and end to the video. "Itchycoo Park" was released by Small Faces in August 1967. The song charted 1 in Canada and New Zealand, 2 in Australia, 3 in Holland and the UK, 4 in Norway, 8 in Ireland, 16 in the USA.

"Itchycoo Park" climbed the charts again when it was re-released on 13 December 1975, it reached 8 in Ireland and 9 in the UK.

The song was one of the first pop singles to use flanging, an effect that can be heard in the bridge section after each chorus.Most sources credit the use of the effect to Olympic Studios engineer George Chkiantz who showed it to the Small Faces' regular engineer Glyn Johns (also the Rolling Stones' recording engineer).

Although many devices were soon created that could produce the same effect by purely electronic means, the effect as used on "Itchycoo Park" was at that time an electro-mechanical studio process. Two synchronised tape copies of a finished recording were played simultaneously into a third master recorder, and by manually retarding the rotation of one of the two tape reels (flanges) using the fingers, a skilled engineer could subtly manipulate the phase difference between the two sources, creating the lush 'swooshing' phase effect that sweeps up and down the frequency range. Because the original single version was mixed and mastered in mono, the flanging effect in "Itchycoo Park" is more pronounced in its original mono mix, and is noticeably diluted in the subsequent stereo mix.

As a teenager in the sixties I - ruudtes - accidentally found out I could do the the same with a mono turntable with variable speed control: first I recorded a song on track one of a mono two track tape recorder, and then I rerecorded the song on the second track while listening to the first track. By varying the speed of the turntable I could get the flanging effect anywhere I liked ..

Edit 1b for headphones, June 2021/March 2024. Fleetwood Mac during a live performance, November 3, 1969 in Norway in the Oslo sports hall 'Njardhallen'. Let's turn all sports halls into music places. Revolution! Show-offs out, musicians in! Ha ha ha!

The official release of this song is on the 1968 album "Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac", it has Peter Green alone with an acoustic guitar, no other member of Fleetwood Mac was featured. It was a sketchy piece and, like many of his songs, hinted at his disintegrating mental state.
The song was reworked as "World Turning" by Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie for the 1975 album "Fleetwood Mac".

WORLD KEEP ON TURNING
(Peter Alan Green)

don't look for no worries
worries and troubles come around
yes, I don't look for no worries, people
worries and troubles come around
the world keep on turning
I got to keep my feet on the ground

nobody saw me cryin'
nobody knows the way I feel
nobody saw me cryin'
nobody knows the way I feel
yeah, the way I love the woman
it's bound to get me killed

I loved the little girl so good
she made my low down butter come
loved the little girl so good
she made my low down butter come
I need the woman so bad
I need her like the sky needs the sun

SUMMER NIGHTS
(Brian Thomas Henderson/Lisa Strike)

winter's almost gone
oh how I've waited so long
for summer nights

when there's magic in the air
and I don't have a care
all that matters to me
is that you are here
on summer nights

there's a little café
where we can hear music play
they keep the lights turned down low
it's a place where lovers go

there you'll hold me tight and say
our love will always be this way
on summer nights

at the end of the day
we can go down to the bay
and together hand in hand
we will walk along the sand
on summer nights

in a little café
we'll dance the night away
and we know our love will be
always true eternally

and when the moon begins to shine
I can see that you are mine
on summer nights
on summer nights
on summer nights
on summer nights

x they don't give a damn about any trumpet playin' band, it ain't what they call rock and roll
x and the Sultans... yeah the Sultans played Creole... Creole

and then the man, he steps right up to the microphone
and says at last just as the time bell rings: "Goodnight, now it's time to go home!"
and he makes it fast with one more thing: "We are the Sultans... we are the Sultans of Swing."

Edit 1b for headphones, June 2012/March 2024. Marianne Faithfull on the tv show "Hullabaloo" London, 1965. The performance was lip sync, so why not add a beautiful stereo version of the song. It was a #4 hit in the UK in 1965. #14 in Australia. #26 in the US. #43 France, but yeah, the French didn't have a clue what is was about... no hit in Holland, an entire nation was sleeping... Written by singer/songwriter Jackie DeShannon in 1965.

COME AND STAY WITH ME
(Jackie DeShannon)

I'll send away all my false pride
and I'll forsake all of my lies
yes I'll be as true as true can be
if you'll come and stay with me

lovers of the past I leave behind
there'll never be another on my mind
I'll do all I can so you feel free
if you'll come and stay with me

the promises I made most faithfully
I'll keep still should you decide to leave
I'll try and see that you have all you need
if you'll come and stay with me

we'll live a life no one has ever known
but I know you're thinking that I'm hardly grown
but oh thank God at last and finally
I could see you're gonna stay with me

but oh thank God at last and finally
I could see you're gonna stay with me

(Not an) edit 1b for headphones, September 2020/March 2024. Marianne Faithfull in 1965. (Does anyone know on what show this is?)
I found a beautiful true stereo version of this song. It is on the cd "Hard To Find Jukebox Classics 1960-64 - 30 Amazing Stereo Hits" by "Hit Parade Records" (cat.nr. 12317).
Marianne had a no.9 hit with this song in the UK, also no.9 in Ireland, no.22 in the US, no.35 in Australia.
She had one no.1 hit, another five top ten hits and ten top hundred hits in her life, well, that is more than today's talent show winners...

It was Marianne herself who said in an interview that she at first was chosen for her pretty face...
Brian Epstein asked Marianne in a Hullabalou tv show in 1965 what was the story behind her becoming a singer.
Marianne said: "I met Andrew Oldham at a party and he asked me if I'd like to make a record, cause he thought I had a face that could sell, I thought, this is fine, perhaps I have, let's sell it."

Are you also fed up too with today's screaming talent show singers?
The louder, the better, the more cheers from the audience and a standing ovation from the jury?
We don't need any town criers anymore, their days are over!
To become a beloved star doesn't take shouting.
It takes a good melody and a sweet voice, even a fragile voice is enough.
Yes, I'm totally fed up with todays talent shows.
Maybe we should call 'm adhd shows?
How about:
Britain's Got ADHD...
America's Got ADHD...

Edit for headphones, November 2021. The dots in the video are to prevent this video from being blocked for copyright reasons. If you can still resist to buy this album for your friend after listening to this song, well, eh... what else can you buy ?
I made this song sound clearer, brighter, happier and... bassier !

Edit for headphones, February 2024. The song was recorded in April 1967 at American Sound Studio in Memphis in the sessions for the Sweet Inspiration's self-titled debut album produced by Tommy Cogbill and Tom Dowd. Spooner Oldham and Dan Penn had observed the recording session for two tracks intended for The Sweet Inspirations album, which moved Oldham to suggest to Penn that they two could write a stronger song for the group.
Oldham: "As we walked [from the studio] up the steps to [the company's] offices, Dan said: 'You got any ideas?' I said: 'What's wrong with 'Sweet Inspiration'?"
Working with a single guitar Oldham and Penn wrote "Sweet Inspiration" in between an hour to ninety minutes upstairs, then returned to the studio and ran through the song for the Sweet Inspirations and the other session personnel, Penn singing the song to Oldham's guitar accompaniment.
Producer Tom Dowd called for a lunch break.
Dan Penn: "Spooner had [the opening rolling guitar] lick down so good the musicians wouldn't go eat...They knew by what was happening we could [immediately] cut [the track]" which was completed in a single take.
Producer Dowd and his coterie on returning to the studio from their lunch break were played the completed track of "Sweet Inspiration".
Oldham: "We basically gave 'em a gift. It was fun to see a creative idea come to fruition in about three hours time."

Issued as the fourth single from The Sweet Inspirations album, "Sweet Inspiration" reached a Billboard Hot 100 peak of #18 in the spring of 1968 also ranking as high as #5 on Billboard's R&B chart.

Source of this edit is the stereo version on the various artists album "1965-Only Rock 'n Roll-1969 - #1 Radio Hits" (1996 catalog nr. opcd-1732).

SWEET INSPIRATION
(Dan Penn (born Wallace Daniel Pennington)/Linden "Spooner" Oldham)

I need your sweet inspiration
I need you here on my mind
every hour of the day
without your sweet inspiration
the lonely hours of the night
just don't go my way

a woma..

Not an edit. Colorized. Dubbed video, I used a live video and replaced the live recording with "Like It This Way" from the double album "The Vaudeville Years Of Fleetwood Mac 1968 to 1970". My apologies for some bad synchronisation. It's just to give the feel of a live concert (so much better than dull photos)... and the experience of a studio recording.
The video is Fleetwood Mac during a live performance, November 3, 1969 in Norway in the Oslo sports hall 'Njardhallen'.

LIKE IT THIS WAY
(Daniel David Kirwan)

let me know you're mine
I don't care what you say
