STAMPEDERS-CARRY ME(POLYDOR)
BackIT'S ABOUT TIME THE STAMPEDERS GET THE CREDIT THEY DESERVE ESPECIALLY IN THE AMERICAN MUSIC SCENE. THEY HAIL FROM CALGARY ALBERTA AND STARTED WITH 6 GUYS IN THE MID 60'S IT WAS SLOWLY WHITTLED DOWN TO 3 BY '69. THIS '70 OFFERING IS A CLASSIC SONG WHICH NEVER GOT IT'S DUE IN THE STATES. DESPITE IT'S TREMENDOUS POPULARITY IN CANADA #2 AND WITH 19 WEEKS OF STAYING POWER IT WAS AS POPULAR AS SWEET CITY WOMAN. THE ONLY REASON WHY I THINK IT WAS IGNORED IN THE STATES WAS ITS' REFERENCE TO THE WAR IN 'NAM. WITH THE GROWING DISCONTENT OF THE WAR AND THE INSURRECTION OF THE MIDDLE CLASS AFTER MAY 4 1970(KENT STATE). THE SENSITIVITY OF THAT TOPIC WOULD BE TO RAW FOR THE PUBLIC TO HEAR SO IT WAS BETTER NOT TO ROCK THE BOAT THEN PLAY A SONG THAT REALLY SPOKE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DURING THIS TUMULTUOUS PERIOD. I BELIEVE THIS WAS CALLED CENSORSHIP THE VERY THING THE HIPPIE GENERATION WAS PROTESTING AGAINST AND FIGHTING FOR THE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. WELL THIS SONG MUST HAVE FRIGHTENED THE DECISION MAKERS OF THE RADIO INDUSTRY AND IT COULD ONLY FIND POLYDOR A RELATIVELY NEW LABEL IN THE STATES IN 70. AND THE FACT THAT I COULD ONLY FIND A PROMO COPY OF THIS U.S. SINGLE TELLS ME NOT ONLY IT WAS POORLY RECEIVED BUT NO STOCK COPIES WERE EVER MADE. I JUST HOPE THIS SONG GETS A FAVOURABLE RESPONSE. IN MY OPINION ONCE YOU HEAR IT MOST OF YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO RELATE TO ITS MESSAGE. TOKENHIPPIE PS IT'S MUCH MORE PROFOUND THAN SWEET CITY WOMAN.
