DAVE GOODMAN & FRIENDS

Justifiable Homicide? / Take Down Your Fences (1978)

Sex Pistols -tuottaja ja omaa The Label -levymerkkiään ylläpitänyt Dave Goodman teki singlen Liddle Towersin traagisen tapauksen muistolle. Justifiable Homicide? -biisissä kerrotaan yksityiskohtaisesti 39-vuotiaan Towersin 1976 kokemasta pahoinpitelystä Birtleyssä paikallisen poliisin toimesta. Towers kuoli poliisin käsittelyssä saamiinsa vammoihin. Tuomioistuin päätti pari vuotta myöhemmin, että kyseessä oli oikeutettu tappo, mikä aiheutti aikamoista julkista polemiikkia.

Sex Pistolsin kitaristi Steve Jones ja rumpali Paul Cook, perkussionisti Mark Farley, Goodman itse syntsassa, bassossa ja laulussa, ja kolme taustalaulajaa - heidän joukossaan Ben Brierley The Vibratorsista. Siinä porukka.

B-puolella on mielenkiintoinen täyteinstrumentaali. Akustinen kitara pohjalla, taustalla Jones kikkailee sähkökitaralla minkä kykenee ja Farley helisyttää vielä lehmänkelloa (!). Harvoin viimeksimainittua saa kuulla. Ostin singlen 90-luvun lopulla, koska sitä kehuttiin Soundissa ja vinyyli on punainen. Olin siihen aikaan innostunut värivinyyleistä. Laitoin sen heti listalleni niistä punk-singleistä jotka on löydettävä Helsingin divareista, ja sehän oli tarjolla Black and Whitessa. Molemmat biisit pääsivät mukaan ensimmäiselle Punkerous-kasetilleni.

FinnArctic-esittelyt:

"Ever since his recording debut in the short-lived group Ferris, Ralf Henrik Lindholm (1952-) has been an exceptionally prolific and productive singer-songwriter - 27 solo albums and frequent band projects along the way make for an impressive body of work.

Lindholm shipped some demos to Love Records in the winter of 1971-72, calling himself Great Pen Lee. He was urged to change his artist name to Isokynä (Big Pen), which apparently referred to Lindholm's habit of changing the names of his backing groups faster than anyone could keep up with.

"Isokynä Lindholm" introduces an electric and very eager young musician already sporting his own style of writing words: rough spoken language mixed in with rather free-form, stream-of-consciousness expressions.

"Sirkus" is considered one of the all-time classic albums in Finnish rock'n'roll. It's loaded with masterpieces like "Puhtaat laivat", "Jazzikansa tulee", the title track and "Kaikki menee seinään", and the lyrics depicted the life of young city people in a way nobody had done before. "Sirkus" made Lindholm a star with plenty of offers for interviews and magazine coverage, but he didn't desire to have his face fronting every paper, so he put an end to all excess publicity.

After "Sirkus", Lindholm only made some stray acoustic gigs and planned an entirely instrumental album of modern music, inspired by John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Love Records weren't interested in this project and scrapped it.

Lindholm joined progressive band Orfeus (original lineup Hannu Salakka, Hessu Hiekkala, Klaus Stolt and Wando Suvanto), and gigged performing whatever songs they desired to play at the moment. Orfeus, who had originally played Pink Floyd and suchlike material, were very skillful improvisers.

Record critics treated the album "Musiikkia" somewhat sourly, but with the passing of time this rather melancholy album has gained a good status in Lindholm's oeuvre.

Dave's and Orfeus' originally spontaneous style of working had evolved into something much more ambitious and thought-out. This caused friction within the band, and Orfeus split soon after their penultimate gig in Lilla Teatern, 29th July 1974, was taped and made into this live album.

"Lillan" is a varied collection of songs, ranging from long live jams to blues and a fun Russian-language country novelty song. The original album had eight songs, five more were dug out for the CD reissue.

At the end of 1974 Dave Lindholm planned to leave for USA for some time, but before that he quickly cut a bunch of his old songs in a studio, doing them all in one take. "Fandjango" was taped in two days.

In America Lindholm joined Dance Theatre of Harlem and wrote material that later ended up on Rock'n'Roll Band's "Everybody Needs Dance Music Sometimes" (1975) and Pen Lee's first LP "Closer to the Drum" (1976).

Kenen laulu (1977) (compilation of singles and other odds & ends)

"Vanha & uusi romanssi" is another very simple guitar troubadour album, but "Aino" is deservedly a classic, almost a legendary record. Four long songs with only producer-arranger Otto Donner's strings backing Dave's voice. Immensely beautiful, Devout with a capital D! The song "Pieni & hento ote" was a major hit. Extremely recommendable!"
