Smiley – "Penelope" / "I Know What I Want" (1972)



Post Creation single featuring Bob Garner. Although the A side is written by Kenny Pickett, I am unsure if he actually appears on the record. I Know What I Want ( written by Bob Garner) is an atmospheric semi-Glam/Late Fuzzbeat Stomper.
As a further link to The Creation; both sides were co-produced by Shel Talmy, but strangely the production lacks a bit of power and bite. The A side is pretty hard to take: It’s a seriously grating piece of 70s Bubblegum, with obnoxious kiddie vocals.

en 1994 , 27 ans après l'album pet sounds et sergent pepper , certains ont vraiment réussi à faire revivre ce sens de l'harmonie de la pop de 1967 :

Recalé ! J'rigole, c'est pas trop mal. Attention au syndrome GUIBERT FRANÇOIS

Un titre du discret (ex-Moody Blues, futur ex-Wings) Denny Laine à la carrière solo erratique, au charme désuet, né des déconvenues de la fin des Wings et du comportement du patron.
"À la fin de l'année, ils vont au Japon pour donner quelques concerts, mais Paul est arrêté en possession de drogues. Il passe 20 jours en prison. Il publie alors McCartney II (1980), album du même type que McCartney, c'est-à-dire réalisé tout seul à la maison. En 1981, un désaccord sur une tournée entre Paul et Denny Laine met fin à l'aventure Wings."

Denny Laine - "Japanese Tears" (1980)

http://www56.zippyshare.com/v/35229561/file.html

In January 1980, Wings planned a tour of Japan. However, upon the band's arrival at the airport in Japan, Paul McCartney was arrested for marijuana possession. The tour was eventually cancelled, and McCartney then decided to release a solo album (McCartney II) instead of touring, putting Wings on hiatus. Laine decided to work on his own solo project (his third since joining Wings), and he released a single, "Japanese Tears". It became the title track of his album. From the title, it appeared to be an attack on McCartney much like John Lennon's "How Do You Sleep?" in 1971; however, the lyrics shows that it more likely tells the tongue-in-cheek story of a Japanese fan's disappointment after Wings' tour was cancelled (or possibly even tears of excitement at Wings' arrival in Japan in the first place).



In many ways, the fate of Japanese Tears is reflective of the career of Denny Laine himself. Constantly reboxed, repackaged and shunted around various second-rate labels destined for the bargain bin, the fact that it was deemed necessary to add Paul McCartney’s name to shift copies (despite McCartney having negligible role in its production) is representative of Laine’s role as the nearly man of rock music. After all, this is the guy who sang the fabulously powerful Go Now , penned the Colin Blunstone smash hit Say You Don’t Mind and was an instrumental part of McCartney’s Wings along with his missus.
