Today is Tuesday, October 25, 2022, as usual I greet you again. And we return with the best musical initiative on the blockchain, well, it seems that way to me because even though I am not a musician, I can participate, and it is the Three Tune Tuesday space created by @ablaze, so that we can share three good songs, which we think are beautiful and worth remembering.

As I've been doing before, today I'm also bringing you an acetate, but I didn't buy it, I inherited it from one of my cousins who really liked music (he still does), and had very varied tastes and a good collection of discs. As he is older than me, well, obviously he listened to music that for me at a certain point in my life, was foreign to me, unknown, but that I later liked. And he gave me a Peter Frampton record many years ago, (I think it was one of the first albums this musician recorded), and I still have it, although its cover is partially damaged. The album that I bring today is called “Breaking all the rules, and as I see on its cover, its release year is 1981, that is, 41 years ago, a lifetime!


I first heard Peter Frampton in my cousins' apartment. My cousin in particular, who gave me this record, also liked Supertramp a lot, and he even had a piano and an organ and would sing the Frampton and Supertramp songs at the top of his voice, and some other would sneak in of The Beatles. To be honest, I wasn't good at it, but I wasn't that bad either, hahahahaha. Those musical days were useful to him, because in addition to practicing what he learned in music classes, they served him to exercise English, a language that, along with four others, he mastered perfectly. He is a polyglot.

When my cousin gave me this album, I thought it was wonderful, because I was little, and I had started my own music collection, so every record or cassette that came into my hands was valued by me, even when I didn't fully understand the lyrics, and maybe I didn't I liked the music a lot. And at this point, I want to stop and share a reflection regarding songs and music in general, and it happens that sometimes we don't like a song, a melody or a letter, even a singer or band, because they lack meaning or value in certain stages of our lives, that is why it is wise to keep them, reserve them, age them like a good liquor, because perhaps, in the future, in other personal circumstances and moments of life, they acquire value, flavor, and we can like them a lot. I learned this from a very young age, which is why I always did two things: I forced myself to listen to the records and cassettes that came into my hands in their entirety, in order to be able to give an opinion later on, and to familiarize myself with the songs, since it happened to me on several occasions, that an insignificant and even ugly song at first, turned out to be a treasure later. Something like that happened to me with this Frampton album, initially it didn't have real musical value for me, but then it did, when I got deeper into his work and saw his evolution as a musician, and at the same time enriching my tastes musicals.

I insist, it is rude to check the price of the gifts that they give us, but since we are in a modern archeology exercise, we are going to do it. As you can see in the photos that I include, its Retail Price (P.V.P.) was Bs. 34.00, which would be equivalent to 7.23 US dollars at that time, which was an acceptable price, taking into account that the currency The national currency, the bolívar, had been in place since 1961 (20 years), immovable at a value of 4.70 bolívares per dollar. It remained that way until 1982, when the economic situation in Venezuela began to deteriorate, although this is insignificant compared to what has happened in these more than two decades of socialism, during which time devaluation has reached astronomical figures, hundreds of zeros. … Well, that's the subject of another post, let's go back to Frampton's album, which as you can see shows him on the cover lighting a cigarette with a building in the background, in a photograph of remarkable color contrasts. On the back of the cover, there is another part of that building, which is apparently a hotel or something similar, and on the left side with a black background and fine white letters, the titles (in Spanish) of the 9 songs on this LP . If we see the technical data, this acetate was produced and manufactured under license from CBS COLUMBIA, by A&M RECORDS, in Venezuela, and it says that it is also available on tape (cassettes) , all a fossil, hahahahaha.








Ahora vamos con mis canciones / Now let's go with my songs
I don't like all the songs on "Breaking all the rules", I really don't like them, because it's a less contemporary rock with me, however there are three songs whose melody and lyrics seem good to me and I want to share them with you today. I start with song number 4 on side A, “Dejando pasar la noche” or as its original title “Wasting the Night Away” , an interesting rock where the drums and the guitar harmonize very well. Frampton's voice in this song sounds to me at certain times (not all the time), similar to another Peter, specifically Peter Gabriel, I don't know, the tessitura perhaps, there is something that leads me to Gabriel, (note, I'm not saying which Frampton copied from him). Now, if we look at the lyrics, it has an interesting romantic-sexual content, a dichotomy that was daring back then... although now it's a children's story compared to the lyrics of certain reggaetons. Here I leave part of the lyrics and a video for you to enjoy

We continue with the second song, which coincidentally is number 2 on the B side of this LP, and is called “Viernes en mi mente” or as its original title says “Friday on my mind” a very cool rock with certain nuances of punk, which I like a lot, especially for its melody, because the lyrics are somewhat basic, but to have a good time, especially "singing it" with my cousin, it was good. Let's see part of his lyrics and I leave you the video.

To finish, I will share with you a ballad, which is located in groove 3 of side B of the album, and is called “Perdí parte de ti”, or as it was originally titled “Lost a part of you”, and like any song of spite or sadness for a lost love, it has a soft, sometimes sad melody and poetic and, one might say, hopeless lyrics. Frampton makes some interesting turns with his voice in this song, which he manages wisely, because otherwise it would be tiring. A rock ballad, it's always a rock ballad, and by extension it will be nice, although at the moment I heard it for the first time I wasn't disappointed, I liked it right away because it's a nice song, where the drums sound great, that deserves to be remembered. Let's see part of his letter and I leave the video.

I couldn't leave without making a small parenthesis (or big parenthesis), and that is that of the three songs that I shared, there is one that was not composed by Peter Frampton, and it is “ Friday in my mind”. If you read the credits that are next to each song, on the labels of the acetate, (here I leave the photo of side B), you will be able to see that the authors of this song are Harry Vanda and < b>George Young, who were founding members of the defunct Australian rock band “The Easybeats”, which was active between 1964 and 1969. This super song is so good and its melody so catchy, that has been covered in many ways, so I wanted to leave you the original song performed by its creators, and then some versions, to see which ones you like the most, (I think I like them all), but the ones deserve special mention. versions of Stevie Wright, who was also a member of the band “The Easybeats”, being their main vocalist; that of Bruce Springsteen and that of David Bowie. This is a song that makes me very happy, because it reminds me of good and fun times. I would love to know if any musicians in Hive get motivated and do their version of this classic rocker – punk.
