Fanny rehearsal, with Richard Perry

- A Fanny rehearsal, with some chatting with (our producer) Richard Perry. I can't really tell if it's from Fanny Hill or a recording studio, my guess would be Fanny Hill (I always had a tape recorder there). Anyway, we sound happy and relaxed, more like puppies really ... and I would guess sometime second half of 1970. By 1971 we were just too busy, writing and recording, touring and rehearsing ~ so many new experiences! Consider: April, played Fillmore East; May, backed Barbra Streisand live on two tracks in the studio & at the end of the month, Fillmore East; in June, the Tonight Show, etc in NYC and the Kenny Rogers Show in Canada; July, more more more gigs! with Leon Russell repeatedly, VFM with I think Black Sabbath; September/October, more gigs: Carnegie Hall, the Sonny & Cher Show; November - ever more gigs! Atlanta, Nashville, etc. December '71: started recording at Apple Studio, BBC and Beat Club, ended up the year NY's Eve at the Whiskey in LA.
Anyway, at some point we got together with Richard, and you can hear how happy we are. We ran through something Richard said he "loved," and then played something Nicky said we'd run through "once," earlier that day. For a second dry-run, I think this is pretty good! It certainly has the spirit.
I mean, this isn't a work of art but I think it's fun.This is one of the styles Nicky was writing in (I mean, more or less pure rock 'n roll), and it reminds me so much of "Rock Bottom Blues," which adore and which we all wrote together (at Fanny Hill, in the living room - I remember the light!!).
The photos are mostly Linda Wolf, with one on the road Europe - Scotland. The first shot, I focused on the guy at the left because that's Richard, filming! (at USC, opening for Tim Buckley, which we did several times). There are a couple of pics by Bob Riegler, one by Suzanne Witas, and one taken by a fan in Iowa ... thank you all. (none of the talking is edited, this is how it showed up ~ I think the track to "Rock Bottom Blues" will be next:)) xx

Thank you! Will keep on, keep tuning in ...:)) xx@@philharrisson7738
That was great fun.....loved it!
Thanks for putting it together June!
So welcome! xx
Never achieved that elusive hit song. Oh well. At least UA-cam recognizes them.
They did have two songs that were in the Billboard top 40- Butter Boy and Charity Ball. That being said, they should have been huge stars! They did it all, and influenced many artists/bands to follow.
The commercial tastes of music listeners are far too limited. Also, people didn’t take women rockers with their own band seriously! Just check out all of the comments about their looks. What the F does that have to do with the sound of the music…?!! Zilch, nada and bupkis! They’re all fantastic artists ❤❤
Marvellous June. X
Thank you! xx
Y’all Jukin it up biiig time yep this gig is for-evaaa’! Thanks June!!!
Love it❤ - especially all the talking - it give a sense of the moment!
Right? Was surprised to find it, and didn't know if folks would like. But a lot are writing in! Thanks, xx
Saw you in Phoenix Arizona at the Celebrity Theater when you opened for Johnny Rivers, have been a fan since.
I remember that gig! With Johnny Rivers, but didn't remember it was at the Celebrity Theater. Thanks, xx
Looking forward to that Reprise Years box set coming out!
I just started shaking my head immediately!! Love it
So good!! Salamat ...
It's a sin that we didn't have digital tech and the internet 50 years ago!
(SO MUCH stuff recorded and LOST that coulda/shoulda been posted!)
THANK YOU for having this tape and sharing it!
(June, I disagree with you about this not being "art"!)
Maybe at the time, it wasn't THE track that would make it onto an album...
But, it is PURE rock & roll
Awesome, thanks June.
*So welcome. xx
Very cool! Thanks June!
Liked the raw and fresh sound in the music caption.
Cool as a cucumber.
That was great June
Thank you!! xx
Awesome 😎
Very nice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you :)
Wala'ng Anuman, as my Mom would say in her language (Tagalog). xx
The magic is happening here🎉❤🎉
This is great, Esp the pics. Hope you have more to post.
yes:))
@@JuneEsWorldGreat looking forward to seeing/hearing more. How is Jean doing & yourself I understand you had a fight a while back. John
By a fight I don't mean with each other, I mean health.
The nature of Jean's stroke means she is always struggling and needs our support - but within that, she is doing well. I had about 2 months of dizziness but am much better now. Thanks for asking! xx

Just think if these ladies knew that today's women rockers rule the world!!!❤😮😊
@JuneEsWorld What was it like touring with Tim Buckley? Was this in his funk phase? I'm trying to imagine what the fans were thinking when seeing Fanny and then Tim and his band in quick succession.
Rock &/OR roll! \m/
Hey June longtime Fanny Fan still have all the vinyls, and all the Badfinger vinyls too! Great pics as well, they weren't from the recording of the Fanny Hill LP right? (since that was in London)✌
I have to check, maybe some were ... good connection. (I'll be putting the track to Rock Bottom Blues" soon - that'll definitely have pics from those sessions:))
@@JuneEsWorld Awesome thanks!😎
I knew that I had this song somewhere in my high pile of vinyl and suddenly it came to me. From a band and album I cherished way back in another century, the tragedy fated Badfinger. I haven't heard it in probably 50 years, but somehow that refrain has continued to sit in my compromised memory. You turned the chorus into a song in itself with expanded instrumental work. The verses are not included in this rehearsal recording: ua-cam.com/video/OtrmhHqFqwE/v-deo.html
I didn't remember either!! xx
Well, THAT was fun. Thanks, June! Hey, whatever became of the movie? I haven't heard anything about it in well over a year. If I could remember the name of it, I'd look I up myself, but....well.....ya' know... -MJ
Perry may have been the producer du jour back then, but after seeing you gals rock live on the Beat Club clips and elsewhere, I think your band would've been better served by someone who didn't aim for such a pristine sound. You should have been "yuge"!
Badfinger!!!!!!!
Yes!!
Havent heard that one. Whats the song called?
I believe "Ain't that peculiar" could've been a hit but wasn't.
I Can't Take it!" Great BadFinger!!! Thanx for this, June!!! Great stuff... and I LOVE Scotland. I was there for 2 weeks a few years back, and oddly, I never slept that amazingly well since I was a kid.
