| Everyone should own at least one Japanese import CD, if only because the printed lyrics are so darn funny.It is not uncommon for these albums to have printed lyrics in both Japanese and English, even if the original album did not include printed lyrics at all.Misheard Lyrics at amiright.I've already commented on the errors in the English lyrics from Orchestra Luna's Japanese CD."And there ain't no telling when I feel like yelling...""And the rain don't tell him when I feel like yelling..."Plus, there are spaces in the printed lyrics where Peter Barakan (credited with transcribing the lyrics) apparently couldn't make out what was being sung.These spaces are even more puzzling, as the omitted words are usually quite obvious.The missing word is indeed "faithful"!!This is Bram Tchaikovsky's first and best album and it has only been available on CD from WEA International in Japan.It also appears that the Japanese CD insert is a reprint of the original vinyl LP cover, including the designations for side 1 and side 2 and the statement that it was "Printed and Made in England" (check it out on the scanned images above.As for the eponymous group itself, Bram Tchaikovsky was born Peter Bramall on November 10, 1950, in Lincolnshire, England.They recorded some demos and also landed themselves a spot supporting Man on tour, but by this time they had become Roper.Bram originally auditioned for the Motors in February, 1977, and although he failed the first audition he was soon taken on, thus ending the career of Heroes.Now known simply by the name of their leader (whose split from the Motors was permanent, but apparently amicable), Bram Tchaikovsky set about recording Strange Man Changed Man in November and December, 1978, and January, 1979, at the Pebble Beach and Basing St.Mike Oldfield joined them to play tubular bells on the track, "Girl Of My Dreams", which broke into the US Top 40.Garvey provided some backing vocals and the bass on "Lady from the USA", while former Heroes sideman Roper took some of the photographs for the album cover.By the time of the second album, Boyce had left the group and former Heroes drummer, Line, had taken over.Bob Andrews (of the Rumour) helped out with keyboards on the track, "Pressure", which was also the title of the album in the USA.The UK title for the album was The Russians are Coming.Elvis Costello (who wrote better songs) and other performers (most of whom played their instruments better), but this album just stuck in my mind for some reason.Biography: Bram Tchaikovsky (born Peter Bramall) began playing in local pub rock bands in Lincolnshire, England, in the late '60s.Want More Bram Tchaikovsky?Highlights: A smokin version of her hit single Tambourine and a killer verse from Party Like a Rockstar.Get behind the scenes footage from other Sessions alums.Bram Tchaikovsky's "Girl Of My Dreams," the 1979 single that was requested earlier this month.Wears its Who fixation proudly on its sleeve, but gets away with it through sheer charm and energy.Here's a shout to Jupiter8: Radar Records was indeed da bomb and a half.Right up there with Stiff.Man, this song blew my mind when I was 16.Finally I bought the full album, and beside "Girl of My Dreams" it was unlistenable.Hey, how about posting the entire album?There's also a video of Bram and the band playing on Midnight Special ( I was there)...If anyone can dig that one up, I'd be one happy camper!PS: Bram does the best version of "I'm a Believer" I've ever heard and that includes the original by the Monkees!Forgot your username or password?You must set your browser to accept cookies and to enable Javascript in order to access certain functions of this site, including the purchase of
