Re: 70s KnockOut Cup- QF 1
The first track really doesn't go anywhere for me - and there are some frankly bizarre backing vocals too.
I'm not a great fan of Ronnie and this track really suffers from the same problem the other track has - it has a reasonably memorable chorus but that's about it...
Sheesh..... I think I must go for B

Re: 70s KnockOut Cup- QF 1
Ronnie Lane is one of about five artists that are guaranteed a vote from me, barring anything too obvious or the rare song I don't care for.
I like A OK, but B.

Re: 70s KnockOut Cup- QF 1
A was new to me and I thought it was terrific. It had a great exuberance, and the sax and organ gave it a real vigor.
B was amiable and good-natured, but musically very generic and a bit dull.
Quite easily A

Re: 70s KnockOut Cup- QF 1
I really liked A, all sunny and exotic but the monkey sounds in the background were a bit bizarre.
B instantly conjures up images of early 70s Britain and I like its working class jauntiness and amiable pub feel. Pretty sure it was widely used in commercials in the 80s or 90s too.
Enjoyable tie but I'll go A

Both nice. I'm liking the Latin flavours more here.

Re: 70s KnockOut Cup- QF 1
B is a perfectly serviceable Ronnie track, fun and with a nice loping groove, but i'm much more into the melting pot of styles that is A. That mix of latin, soul jazz with lashings of disco funk feels and sounds very vital and alive to me, the kind of thing i love to get lost in.

Re: 70s KnockOut Cup- QF 1
That sax is a bit out of place, barbed wire on top of a victoria sponge cake of a track. A sunny, frothy thing, with a monkey being smothered in the background, as all slices of exotica must have. Hmm.
Ronnie Lane's track is a good old fashioned lump of bread and butter pudding, it has no ambition to be anything other than a cheap and stodgy reuse of old ingredients. It's got a bit of joie de vivre about the vocal, almost as if he's really pleased he's somehow managed to get this recorded and released, despite it having no purpose or merit.
Both really quite pointless generic tracks, and if I voted for A, I think it'd just be because it's a less familiar to me, albeit with some monkey sadism thrown in for novelty. I think I'll give it to B if just for managing to sound really pleased with effectively scratching his arse.

Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Re: 70s KnockOut Cup- QF 1
2 tracks of inconsequential nothingness. I've immediately forgotten both of them. An utter waste of mine, and everybody else's, time.
In view of the fact I've voted in every other tie, often against my better judgement, I'm giving this to A. Thats the only criteria its worthy of.

Re: 70s KnockOut Cup- QF 1
Copacabana vs Kentish Town. hmm...
a - Contrary sod that I am, at least in the context of present company, it's the cheesy sax I enjoy most about this, and there's nothing like enough of it. I'm no fan of Latin dance beats, I don't speak Portuguese, and I think the 'festive' 'carnival' beach lifestyle this music seems to wallow in is a tired trope that I was never interested in in the first place. But I did like the sax, and the odd stabs of organ - 4 / 10
b - never met him, but our Ron used to score from my mate Chris in the eighties, and I never heard anything remotely negative about him. Not that it's anything to do with his music, but it helps. I remember this from the time, enjoyed it then, and still do on hearing it again 30 years or so later. though I always thought his wistful vision of the simple country/gypsy lifestyle was a bit of off the peg romantic tomfoolery, he was the embodiment of what I liked about the Small Faces. 5.5 / 10

Yeah, more quality MPB! A takes this one pretty handily.
