The dB’s - The Sound of Music

Here’s where the dB’s tried to tamp down their more eccentric influences, and reached for some mainstream success. Syd Straw (who also sang for the Golden Palominos) makes a guest appearance on vocals.

The first two great albums were UK only. On Like This they lost Stamey, and Holsapple took over. Then the label went under. Here they were with I.R.S.

It’d be their last real album for a long time… dB’s can’t win.

The dB’s - The Sound of Music LP cover.

A bedroom with an older couple. The man is banging on the ceiling with a broom handle - and you can see, on the floor above their ceiling, a band is playing…but you can only see their feet and the bass drum, which has “dB’s” on it.

The black LP plays on a vintage, restored, Bang & Olufsen Beogram 8002 linear-tracking turntable to the right.

Fans of the dB’s - the long-out-of-print, only available on import (on Albion, as I remember) first dB's LP is getting re-released!

This is a gem (along with Repercussion) - propellersoundrecordings.com/c

The dB's - Like This

Two great albums in, Chris Stamey took his leave, and as of the 3rd album, Peter Holsapple was leading the dB's. While I'm not sure it was "for the better", since I thought the contrast between the co-leaders was interesting, Holsapple brought a bunch of great tunes, and the band made a great record.

"I can understand / Why you'd want a better man / But why do you want to make him out of me?"

Definitely less arty...but still the dBs.

The dB's - Like This album cover.

A green 4/4 grid of shots of the band members. The band name and album title are red in the upper left corner.

The black LP plays on a vintage Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4000 linear-tracking turntable to the right. The dustcover is open, and the album, tonearm and surround are reflected in its underside.
