Reception In a review of the album in ''The Santa Fe New Mexican'', Steve Terrell called French Frith Kaiser Thompson "the world's most obscure 'supergroup. He says this collaboration is led by Kaiser, with his "whacky, ecclectic icapproach to rock", and Thompson, "break ngout of his own mold" and "experimenting with ... sheer craziness". Terrell liked the playfulness of Kaiser's "The Nearsighted Heron" and "Days of Our Lives", and Thompson's "mock opera", "March of the Cosmetic Surgeons". He also liked French's "Now That I Am Dead", although he was critical of some of French's other songs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Katherine, also spelled Catherine, and other variations are feminine names. They are popular in Christian countries because of their derivation from the name of one of the first Christian saints, Catherine of Alexandria.

The former spelling, with a middle ''a'', was more common in the past and is currently more popular in the United States than in Britain. ''Katherine'', with a middle ''e'', was first recorded in England in 1196 after being brought back from the Crusades.

Nanker Phelge
Nanker Phelge (a.k.a. Nanker/Phelge) was a collective pseudonym used between 1963 and 1965 for several Rolling Stones group compositions. Stones bassist Bill Wyman explained the origins of the name in his 2002 book, ''Rolling with the Stones'': Thus anything credited to Nanker Phelge refers to a Mick Jagger/Brian Jones/Keith Richards/ Charlie Watts/ Bill Wyman/Andrew Loog Oldham collaborative composition. The ASCAP files for the very earliest Nanker Phelge compositions also list early Rolling Stones member Ian Stewart (also known as "the sixth Stone") as a co-author covered by the pseudonym. The name resurfaced in the late 1960s on the labels of the original vinyl pressings of '' Beggars Banquet'' and ''Let It Bleed''. Manufacture of both albums was credited to Nanker Phelge, which was then acknowledged as an ABKCO company (ABKCO was manufacturing the records that still bore the London and Decca labels).

Play With Fire (The Rolling Stones Song)
"Play with Fire" is a song by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, originally released as B-side to the song " The Last Time". It was later included on the American release of their 1965 album ''Out of Our Heads''. Composition and recording "Play with Fire" is credited to Nanker Phelge, a pseudonym used when tracks were composed by the entire band, even though lead singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards are the only Rolling Stones to appear on the track. The song was recorded late one night in January 1965 while the Stones were in Los Angeles recording with Phil Spector at the RCA Studios. Richards performed the song's acoustic guitar opening while Jagger handled vocals and tambourine (enhanced using an echo chamber). Spector played bass, and Jack Nitzsche provided the song's distinctive harpsichord arrangement and tamtams. The Stones left for a tour of Australia the following day. The song's lyrics talk of the singer's relationship with a high society girl, dispa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
