Laine, Denny

Vinyl Records and Rare LPs:

	Ahh... Laine! New - LP - MS2190 Sealed 1974 Original. Small Saw-Cut. "Denny Laine Did Not Know This Album Was Released On Warner Bros Until 1989. He Surmised That The Late Tony Secunda, Manager For The Moody Blues When Laine Was In The Band, Sold The U.S. Rights To Warner Bros. It Really Is Astounding That While His Band Was Hitting Number One With Band On The Run, Laine Had No Idea He Had An Album Out In America (Which Was One Of Warner Bros' Biggest Failures Of That Year). Laine Performing "The Blues" And "Sons Of Elton Haven Brown" On-Stage, Maybe As Opening Act For Wings That Year, Could Have Changed Rock History. This Is Music Straight From The Heart." - AMG more
	Ahh... Laine! Used - LP - MS2190 1973 US Original. Tiny Saw-Cut/Nick. "Denny Laine Did Not Know This Album Was Released On Warner Bros Until 1989. He Surmised That The Late Tony Secunda, Manager For The Moody Blues When Laine Was In The Band, Sold The U.S. Rights To Warner Bros. (The Original Pressing Was Released In 1973 On Wizard Records In Europe.) Laine Is Wearing A Wings T-Shirt On The Front Cover And It Is Amazing That He Didn't Perform Some Of These Songs With Paul & Linda McCartney When They Were All Together. "Find A Way Somehow" Has That "Let Me Roll It To You" Sound From Wings' Red Rose Speedway. But The Best Track Here Is "Baby Caroline," Which Rivals A Song Called "Blue Nights," Not On This Collection, And One Of Laine's Most Perfect Moments. His Voice Is In Great Shape -- Bluesy, Defined, And In Sync With The Tunes. "Havin' Heaven" Bops And Is A Good Departure From The Mellow Leanings Laine's Music Gravitates Toward. As A Founder Of The Moody Blues And Singer Of Their First Hit, "Go Now," Laine, Like Chad Allen Of The Guess Who, Found Himself Shifting Gears After Finding Success. Allen's Music Is Also Substantial, And Although Laine Penned "Say You Don't Mind," A Hit For Colin Blunstone, This Album Is Very Much Like Allen's Work On Brave Belt: Underrated And Underappreciated. "On That Early Morn" Has Tasty Guitar And A '50s Feel. It Really Is Astounding That While His Band Was Hitting Number One With Band On The Run, Laine Had No Idea He Had An Album Out In America (Which Was One Of Warner Bros' Biggest Failures Of That Year). Laine Performing "The Blues" And "Sons Of Elton Haven Brown" On-Stage, Maybe As Opening Act For Wings That Year, Could Have Changed Rock History. This Is Music Straight From The Heart."

	Holly Days New - LP - ST 11588 Sealed 1976 Original. “There's No Denying That McCartney's Acquisition Of The Buddy Holly Songbook Was A Prime Reason For This Collection Of, Indeed, Buddy Holly Covers. But To Dwell On That Is To Overlook The Fact That, Alongside Wildlife, Red Rose Speedway, And Two Or Three Later Wings 45s, Holly Days Sounds More Like McCartney's Original Blueprint For Wings Than Anything Else The Group Accomplished. Laine, Paul, And Linda Alone Feature On The Album, Recorded In The Same Rude Studios (Where McCartney Banged Out His Demos). Holly Days Is Crude, Ramshackle, And Impossibly Primitive, Then, But Its Naïveté Is Its Strength, Its Amateurism Is Its Armor. It's The Sound Of Three Musicians Having Fun With Songs That They Love, Eschewing Effects, Ignoring Mistakes, And Cherishing The Lo-Fi Brashness Of It All. Laine's Lead Vocals Are Excellent, The McCartneys' Harmonies Are Spot-On, And The Musicianship -- Mainly Paul -- Is Supremely Slapdash. The Result, For Anybody Wishing To Seriously Anthologize McCartney's Solo Output, Is An Album As Honest As Any He's Been Involved In, And A Lot More Fun Than Most Of Them.” Dave Thompson, All Music Guide. more

	Japanese Tears Used Import - 2907 063 Rare 1980 Australian Original Featuring Different Artwork Than The US Version. Features Paul & Linda McCartney. Very Light Bottom Right Corner Crease. "Having Left Wings, Denny Laine Finally Got Around To Releasing A Proper Solo Effort, And Japanese Tears Does Have A Certain Charm. While With Wings, Laine Never Got Much Of A Chance To Showcase His Songs, What With Macca Being Head Honcho And All, And He Accumulated Many Of These Cuts While Working With That Band. Going Back As Far As 1973, And Using The Original Wings Lineup On A Couple Of Tracks, Laine Adds Songs Here And There Along The Way In A Patchwork Quilt Sort Of Way To Fill Up Japanese Tears. While Everything Is Interesting Here, Highlights Include A Re-recording Of "Go Now" And The Title Cut Which Tells The Story Of A Japanese Fan's Reaction To The Wings Tour Which Was Canceled When Macca Got The Boot For Possessing An Illegal Substance. Japanese Tears Is A Look At One Of Rock's Minor League Players Done Well." AMG Review By James Chrispell. more
