Emerging as a creative and beatific force in London’s Swinging 60s, she met Parisian provocateur Serge Gainsbourg in 1968 on the film set of Slogan and birthed one of the most fantastic creative collaborations the world has ever known. After the 1969 duet album “Je T’Aime… Moi Non Plus” (\u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eLITA\u003c\/span\u003e 048) and the landmark “L’Histoire De Melody Nelson” (\u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eLITA\u003c\/span\u003e 040) Jane was ready for her own namesake debut. “Di Doo Dah” sees Birkin, Gainsbourg, and co-conspirator Jean-Claude Vannier (“L’Enfant Assassin Des Mouches”) meld Jane’s fragile vocals with jazz, rock, and lush orchestral textures: a perfect album for living and loving. Light In The Attic’s definitive version of “Di Doo Dah” is available for the first time in North America on 180-gram vinyl, with original artwork, unseen photographs, and extensive liner notes by renowned music journalist Andy Beta (Spin, The \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eFADER\u003c\/span\u003e).

But this album is far from a throwaway, showing a maturity and musical understanding from all parties involved. By the early 70s, this lady was already a mother and very much aware of traditional gender roles as well as the sexual revolution – clearly able to plumb the necessary emotional depths required to translate Serge’s madcap lyrics and songs. It is true that in Birkin, Serge had finally found his match and most transcendent muse. And although the couple eventually went their separate ways, they left us all whistling much more than “Zipp-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eViva Di Doo Dah!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[[Selling Points]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirkin’s debut solo album and pinnacle collaboration between Jane, Serge Gainsbourg and Jean Claude Vannier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst time available in North America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLP features 180-gram vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiner notes include new and insightful interview with Jane Birkin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[[Catalog Number]]LITA 055[[Artist]]Jane Birkin\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Light in the Attic","offers":[{"title":"Di Doo Dah \/ CD \/ CD","offer_id":32236499599439,"sku":"LITA055CD","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Di Doo Dah \/ Vinyl \/ LP Black","offer_id":44065408385269,"sku":"LITA055LP","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/6417\/2096\/files\/JaneBirkin_DiDooDah.jpg?v=1696119788"},{"product_id":"thai-funk-volume-1","title":"Thai Funk Volume 1","description":"\u003cp\u003e[[Release Detail]]\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e[[Release Description]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver two years ago, Bangkok crate digger Maft Sai from ZudRangMa Records Thailand complied the now legendary Thai Funk: ZudRangMa Vol. 1 CD, showcasing 18 forgotten Thai pop, garage rock, funk, and disco tracks by a cross-section of local 1960s-70s artists unknown outside of Southeast Asia.

It’s a few more minutes in the studio with Ahbez himself, full of emotion and life. In addition, to the delight of fans, the edition includes an additional composition Nature Boy (Mantovani Orchestra). Especially, it is worth noting the outstanding mastering prepared from practically decomposed tapes by the Grammy-nominated Jessica Thompson, which guarantees the deepest and warmth possible sound. Jessica a huge Ahbez fan and we’re highly appreciated for what she has done to save his music for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEden Ahbez is definitely at the origin of psychedelic music and this release can be taken as further proof. Over the past twenty years, the iconic figure of the world’s first hippie Eden Ahbez has become famous primarily for his 1948 song “Nature Boy”, praising universal love, and his amazingly solo album from the 1960s called “Eden’s Island” – one from the first concept albums in the history of music and probably the first psychedelic music album. “Wild Boy: The Lost Songs Of Eden Ahbez” deepens understanding of the origins of the psychedelic movement in the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe disc contains a musical selection of works by Eden Ahbez himself, written by him in the period after Nature Boy. The inclusion of songs such as “Palm Springs” – Ray Anthony Orchestra and “Hey Jacques” by Erta Kitt gives the listener the chance to discover for the first time the little-known recordings of world-famous artists composed by Eden Ahbez. Through “Wild Boy” and “Surfer John” you can hear the author’s handling of absurd rock and exotic experimentation, as well as sweet psychedelic pop like Monterey (with Paul Horn on flute). Overall, Wild Boy: The Lost Songs Of Eden Ahbez offers an overview of the lost works of 1949-1971 with seven unpublished recordings and eight rare singles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf in 2020 you are missing the hallucinogenic content in Eden Ahbez, it amazingly makes up for that deficiency with simple chords, expansive arrangements, and lyrics about travel, relaxation, free love, and spirituality. Thus creating the standard of psychedelic music. Eden Ahbez’s songs weren’t only fantasy and his personal philosophy was the real thing that he lived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReviews:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“This carefully and extensively researched compilation culls covers by top notch mainstream artists juxtaposed with unreleased Eden recordings. What might sound like a mixed bag is actually more like a chronological, musical non-fiction novel about Eden Ahbez. While Eden was writing hundreds of songs and performing live and making recordings in various styles, his songs were also being picked up by popular artists like Nat King Cole and Eartha Kitt who recorded with a more polished mainstream style. There are also some early rock n roll style recordings here. Eden’s professionally recordings often end up as Novelty Pop records such as “Child of Nature” and “The Clam Man” but if you read between the lines and listen to the lyrics it is pretty eye-opening that he is singing about Eastern-religion-style and pre-hippie philosophies about being at one with the planet Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of this is explained in the lengthy liner notes inside the LP along with a few choice photos that establish Eden as a founding father of Southern California mystic\/psychedelic music.” – Tiki News\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Eden Ahbez’s life philosophy was summed up in the lyrics of his most famous song, “Nature Boy,” a 1948 hit for Nat King Cole: the song describes a “strange enchanted boy” who wanders the world in search of truth. “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn,” he concludes, “is to love and be loved in return.” Ahbez was a precursor of California’s beatniks and hippies, and an exalted icon of exotica via his rare 1960 album Eden’s Island. Beyond “Nature Boy” and Eden’s Island, though, there were numerous lesser-known Ahbez recordings. Ahbez biographer Brian Chidester has been doing an exemplary job of archiving and documenting that catalog of work.

The release became one of the most eccentric and scandalous albums of its time and remains one of the most sought-after gems in the history of discography. It was unusual at the time for women to sing such explicit songs, and it may have helped bring the album into the spotlight and make it attractive to a wider audience. Despite many controversies and scandals due to its provocative title and its immediately recognizable raunchy cover, the album managed to find its fans and become one of the best-selling albums on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, despite delivering the highest quality of music, it remained famous for its scandalous cover image (poster included in the kit of course…). This image was chosen to reflect the bold and experimental nature of the songs on the album and it caused a real societal outrage at the time. The LP was banned from many stores which only spurred further interest in the LP and of the most controversial covers in the history of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10-track album, performed by Fay Richmond, Angelina, Miss D, and Saul T. Peter, was one of the first albums to introduce many new provocative themes in the songs. Despite its suggestive nature, the album’s music was endearingly soft and romantic. Although the album outreached to a mass audience with its love-related themes, it was also recognized for its jazz explorations performed by Saul T. Peter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most popular song on the album was the song “My Pussy Belongs to Daddy”, performed by Fay Richmond. Initially shocking due to its provocative title, it eventually became an iconic release of the 1950s. The same thing happened to the LP as a whole – its playful and delicate content captivated even the hardiest of connoisseurs. You’ll find yourself running to the turntable and dropping the needle back to the starting groove time and time again while being completely captivated by the moods and the sounds of this amazing LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was happening at a time when multiple changes were taking place in the world of music – in particular the inception of rock and roll and new emerging genres such as soul, funk, and blues rock. And although “My Pussy Belongs To Daddy” is completely true to its roots in jazz, swing, and easy listening, we can already witness to the voice of change on the LP. “My Pussy Belongs to Daddy” is a mixture of genres and dance music which was popular in the 50s and which developed as a result of many intertwined cultural and musical influences. This compilation later became popular with the ‘in’, R\u0026amp;B, crowd and contributed to the evolution of the style. Together, these artists created landmark music that demonstrated that sexual innuendo and comical double entendres can be a part of serious musical expression. Today, more than 65 years after its first release, the compilation album “My Pussy Belongs to Daddy” remains not only an exceptional collector’s gem but also an important historical document portraying a specific turning point in the musical history of the US in the 1950s. \u003cbr\u003e\nIncendiary melodies, fantastic arrangements, performance skills, daring lyrics, friendly irony and humor, and boundless spirit of freedom, boldness, and honesty made this release gain a cult following and a desirable collector’s artifact. Despite the provocative title, the songs on the album are not sexual in nature and do not contain vulgar words. It’s a subtle, poetic balance between erotic meaning and innocence – an honest flirtation never being overshadowed by vulgarity. My Pussy Belongs To Daddy\" became a kind of manifesto for the sexual liberation movement that shook America in the middle of the 20th century. It states clearly there is no place for taboos, boundaries, and stereotypes – there is only a free, explosive, and incredibly piquant sound that opens up completely new facets of musical art for the listener. The perfect balance between eroticism and good taste is what makes this compilation a real masterpiece. Musical numbers on the album will appeal to both experimental music connoisseurs and sophisticated sound lovers. You will definitely fall head over heels for each song on this LP combining nostalgic musical landscapes and skillful performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis exclusive re-release has been protected from remastering to preserve the original sound and convey the message emanating from that specific moment in musical history.
