Take my tip, get on out…
Due on June 4th via
As I’m sure you all know, Take My Tip was the B-side of the one and only release from The Manish Boys, I Pity The Fool, via Parlophone in March 1965.
Those of you only interested in the Bowie content in the digital format may be better served by Bowie 1965!, the four track digital EP released at the beginning of the year. (01.01.2007 REMINDER: DB 1965! AND BAAL DOWNLOAD EPs AVAILABLE NOW)
I’ll leave you with a bit from the press release and the tracklisting…

This new series of Zonophone compilations is dedicated to the enduring appeal of 60s music in its various guises. The period of British music between 1963 and 1969 has endured beyond any other ? and not just because it was spearheaded by two of Pop?s most timeless masters, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Where British artists in the 50s had failed to properly engage with their influences (namely, American rock?n?roll), UK bands in the 60s successfully fused their love of U.S. black music with other styles, charged it with a healthy dose of youthful aggression and called it their own. That?s in essence the Beat and R&B era, of course, in a nutshell. But a quick glimpse at the credits for this compilation reveals more: previously, serious-minded musicians shunned “pop”. The R&B explosion brought them into the fold: now, hardcore jazz musicians could be found in the ranks of various beat combos.
Running parallel with this musical renaissance was a similarly exciting evolution in youth culture. Mod was the catch-all term used to describe the newly-acquired aspirant lifestyle adopted by many teenagers ? with a strongly identifiable look, the emphasis on the neat, the sharp, the modern. Four or so decades on, Mod has now come to symbolise the era, inseparable from the iconography of the mid-60s, and kept alive by a small but perfectly formed scene of people who weren?t even born at the time. What?s Mod? What you want it to be. Is this CD Mod? Who cares?! In essence, Take My Tip is a fascinating jukebox of classic rarities, hard-to-find collector?s items and genuine discoveries. Take my tip ? listen to this CD and enjoy!
