Remember our friend Gleneil Roseman? He of Cheapy Chappy and Ito fame (Worlds Worst Records, January 2008):
Well, being the completest record nerd that I am I've yet to give up on discovering more on this man's brilliant career. So far I've managed to uncover precious little more info on our hero, apart from, finally, the complete tracklisting for the Cruise It album.
For those who, like me, can't get enough of this kind of thing the full album consists of just eight tracks, all seemingly self penned, and performed by Gleneil on bass, electric keyboards and vocals, George Reich on guitar and synth and Tom Curtis on acoustic guitar:
Easy Rock/Mr Music Man/Rockin' Chips/Serious Joke/Cheapy Chappy and Ito/Cruise It/How Much Wonder a Little Smile Can Do/Don't You Lose It.
Apparently GRM stands for Gleneil Roseman Music - a vanity project (stands to reason I guess) and there indeed was, as I thought, at least one further album, Soothing (catalogue number GRM 153031). Unfortunately I've not yet managed to find any more audio clips but, thanks to a Japanese trading site I have found the cover and label of the 12" single of Serious Joke/Cheapy Chappy and Ito (above).
If anyone has any soundclips from either album - or if they know of any other Gleneil releases - please get in touch.
What ? Watering my mouth with hilarious shit and not even re- upping CHEAPY CHEAPY AND ITO ?

DeleteBecause all of the Gleneil links are dead I'll put up a new post soon (hopefully this weekend) with everything I have... those links should stay live for a while
DeleteBillboard magazine of June 1 1985 lists two other releases by Gleneil:
ReplyDeleteSerious Joke - 12 inch single - GRM GG-330511
Reggae Dancin' Time - Groover-G 136
Also Gleneil's real name may be Glen M Campbell, who was born in 1946
your knowledge is stupendous. man.
