Punishment of Luxury


http://www.punishmentofluxury.com/nl-home.htm

I just noticed that there is a Punishment of Luxury website.

I read that their recorded-but-never-released 2nd album, "Gigantic Days" in on CD in England. I have a CD of demos called "Revolution By Numbers" which is pretty good (most songs are 'cassette-quality'). And, of course, all of their UK singles and LP.

I think it was Mike McG who recommended them to me. I never saw 'em live, but Eric in Amsterdam saw them and said they were very good, leading the audience into the streets, chanting "Hoo haw hoo haw!".

I don’t remember if I first saw or heard of Joe Cocker via the Woodstock film, but it was around that time. I also certainly heard him on the FM radio, or playing in hippie record stores. More white R&B than ‘rock’, it still sounded unique to my young ears. I wonder if he’ll ever write an autobiography? I, for one, would buy / read it.


The new century is moving forward, Mr. Cocker is still alive – and the newest record by him that I can fully support is his ’72 song “Woman to Woman”, which I heard played a lot at the time. Which album is it on? I’m not sure that I have that one.


I never saw the “Mad Dogs & Englishmen” film at the time – I believe my intro to Leon Russell was either hearing him with Joe Cocker or in the Bangla Desh film. Certainly by ’72, Mr. Russell had “Tightrope” on the radio – and he came into his own in a very mainstream yet acceptable way. And I have a legit DVD of the “Mad Dogs…” film.


Hip-O Select, a custom label of Universal – has released a 6CD set of the concerts that the 2LP/2CD of “Mad Dogs & Englishmen” was culled from. $60. I wonder if I’ll find a cheap one of those in a used bin somewhere? They’re also finally re-releasing the CD of “Joe Cocker!”, his 2nd album – but no bonus tracks (the re-issue of his debut, “With A Little Help From My Friends” has 2 x cool bonus tracks). And Mr. Cocker is a “Millennium Collection” artist – so can I get rid of the other two collections I have on CD? I definitely want to keep “Woman to Woman” on both vinyl and CD (and I don’t think it’s on the “Millennium Collection”).
