orchester fritz maldener
- speedy buggy (1973)

....................
if you can get past the seriously uncool looking chicks in the "buggy," and fritz himself wearing a fur cap (like dr. zhivago) in mid summer, you'll find that this record absolutely rocks! it reminds me of james last but funkier, with plenty fender rhodes and gorgeous girl / boy chorus action.
favourite tracks include the breezy summer of "open window," and lowdown cool brass of "speedy buggy."

Speedy Buggy is a SENSATIONAL LP. Nice mix of a TV vibe, BIG brass, and vocals. I just can't get enough of the vocals on Top Snob -- especially the male vocals coupled with muted trumpet(?). What the hell is that sound they're creating. Just wild. Thanks for posting. I put a link up for detour at higherthanfi. You do a great blog. Thanks for all the hard work.
thanks higherthanfi, this is a really fun lp, and it's great to hear that you are enjoying it.

Great Blog, I just found out about it from MPS-Love... Thanks!!
sure alphabet. welcome and enjoy...
Hey, do you happen to know if ALL the tracks are Maldener originals? I expect they might be, but in particular I am having trouble finding the correct attribution on track 11, "Pay Attention."
Hey Lil Grey, apologies for the Long delay...catching up with the blog again. "Pay Attention" is attributed to Dave Rosenholz. The only Maldener track is "Riding easy."
Ahhh, THANK you !!
Link updated.
Wow, detour... you're really back! I thought you'd given up on this blog years ago
Lol yeah I'm still alive. Busy making a new compilation and sharing with friends in Texas, so I tidied up a bit :)
