SOLARFLARES - Can Satisfy You LP
$31.95
Clear vinyl.
Former Prisoners / Prime Movers cohorts The Solarflares distilled the myriad pleasures of hard-edged, soulful 60s beat-psych, powerhouse guitar/organ instrumentals, and world class (but never wanky) riffage into a classy package, replete with memorable, groove-heavy tunes with knockout harmonies and that big, bad beat.
“Can Satisfy You”, which the band put out on their Own Up label in 2003. Is this collection of live and studio cuts less than essential? Is it bollocks… no drop in quality, when it comes to corkers like the ‘electric’ version of “Miles Away” with Parsley’s killer organ that turns it into a mid-60s club soul classic, or on the slew of dynamite covers including Wimple Winch’s “Save My Soul”, Ramones’ “Glad to See You Go”, Fire’s “Father’s Name is Dad” and the Sharon Tandy/Fleur de Lys/Rupert’s People classic, “Hold On”.
