Rosa Fang - 1966 - These Boots Are Made For Walking FLAC

  穿着鞋子走路 (These Boots Are Made For Walking)/夢裡會情郎 (Far Away)/情竇初開 (My Love)/海上良宵 (Hawaiian Song)

 

 Well, I am afraid this post is going to be quite short, sadly I wasn't able to discover any information about the elusive Rosa Fang, except that this was probably her only release. Could it be that Rosa Fang released other records under a different name? She has a mature voice and I doubt that these are her only recordings. Althought manufactured in India, this EP was released in Singapore on the Columbia label with catalogue number ECHK 555, sometimes in early/mid 1966. Side A begins with "穿着鞋子走路" a cover of "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'", a hit song written by Lee Hazlewood and recorded by Nancy Sinatra in late 1965 track 2 is a bit of a mystery .On Side B we find "情竇初開", a nice version of Petula Clark's international hit "My Love", a song written by Tony Hatch in late 1965 once again track 2 have no I idea.

 

 

Rose Garden - 1967 - Next Plane To London FLAC

 Next Plane To London/Flower Town/If My World Falls Through/Here's Today

 

 "Next Plane to London" is the debut single by the American folk rock band, The Rose Garden. The single, released by Atco Records, became the band's only Top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 when it peaked at number 17. It would later reappear on the group's 1968 studio album, The Rose Garden. "Next Plane to London" made The Rose Garden one of the most memorable one-hit wonders of the late sixties, yet the song has never been recorded by another prominent group, apart from an unreleased demo by the band They Might Be Giants.The band's first incarnation was as the Blokes, a Byrds-inspired band. The Blokes recorded their own material, but became known for promoting a single by professional musicians who went under the name, The Giant Sunflower. The single, "February Sunshine", became a Los Angeles hit, and the Blokes became known as The Giant Sunflower for a couple of weeks to perform the song in their live act. The Blokes recorded demos with Charlie Greene, and Brian Stone when it was announced they needed a new name. As guitarist John Noreen states, "Everything was 'flower power' at that time, so The Rose Garden made sense". Under the new band name, the group recorded numerous demos in search of the one song to become their debut single. At first, their efforts appeared in vain until their promoter, Pat Pipolo, put managers Greene and Stone in contact with songwriter Kenny Gist Jr.. Gist Jr.'s composition, "Next Plane to London", was chosen to be recorded as the A-side to the debut single.
