Label Review.

Wow! The big news on this Ace comp of Shel Tamly’s 60s work is an alternate, previously unissued version of ‘You’ve Got A Habit Of Leaving’ by David Bowie when he was still Davy Jones. Also featured are other big names like The Creation, Manfred Mann, The Kinks, Lee Hazlewood, The Who, Pentangle, Roy Harper, The Easybeats, Chad & Jeremy, Nashville Teens, The Fortunes, The Rockin’ Vicars (featuring a young Lemmy of Motorhead), Tim Rose and Trini Lopez. Also a bunch of acts you probably haven’t heard of. Some of these tracks are from Shel Talmy’s personal archive. An important release! Ace.

Our Overview.

Born in Chicago, Sheldon Talmy came to Britain in 1962 and in three years became one of the go to producers of the day. The birth of grunge with The Kinks number one ‘You Really Got Me’ was caught by Talmy. One of the earliest examples of feedback left on record with The Who’s second single was Shel. He recorded an eighteen year old David Bowie (before he was Bowie). He captured Eddie Phillips violin bow electric guitar before Jimmy Page started waving one about. He wasn’t just about rock either. He oversaw the debut album by folk supergroup The Pentangle too.

‘Making Time – A Shel Talmy Production’ also benefits from unprecedented access to Talmy’s personal vaults, which yielded master tapes for many obscurities as well as several ear-popping unissued tracks. Extensively researched and copiously illustrated, this anthology will be a significant entry in Ace’s acclaimed ‘Producer’ series.
