Re: [bomp] where did Tapestry & Fuzz & Who is Jade ???




      I've got both the new " Tapestry ... " and " Fuzz ... " and yes there 
are a few mistakes / errors etc, but on the whole for something quite that big 
( big as in raise yer kid up in the chair their first time at the " big folks 
" Thanksgiving dinner table with the phone book big ) and large an 
undertaking, and considering the sometimes confused discographys and histories of many of 
the artists in both books, I guess one can expect a few errors. I don't 
always agree with the opininions expressed on some of the artists and releases, but 
the books do make great starting reference points, and are well worth their 
somewhat ginormous price. Be aware the shipping costs on them is considerable 
too, as they weigh in at a few pounds too.
     It's a shame tho' that the site isn't on line and maintained like it 
used to be ( the old archives is nice but ... ) so the info could be updated and 
corrected more often ... I'd even pay a yearly subscription fee to access the 
site, considering how many times a week I used to refer to back the site for 
one thing and another, like I do for the " Rock's Back Pages " site, which I 
highly recommended ... they have a number of Greg Shaw's reviews and articles he 
wrote up there, along with stuff from Ken Barnes, Alan Betrock, Jon Tiven, 
and others well worth reading.   
      Also I'll add that Jade Hubertz usually does have the books in stock ( 
as does the mothership - BOMP ) but alas Jade doesn't have a website ... along 
with the books he stocks a lot of the re-ish stuff one sees reviewed in Ugly 
Things Magazine ( Jade's even written reviews for the mighty Things ) and on 
the monthly Shindig web site reviews, and for those into more progressive and 
kraut rock type goodies he's an outstanding source as well. He ships on time, 
packs yer goodies real well and he'll let you know if he has whatever you want 
in stock before you pay for something and get stuck with a " credit " ... and 
he takes PayPal, so ya don't have to run down to the post office in the middle 
of a hurricane to get and post a money order for that Ashkan " In From the 
Cold " CD that's apparently more important than tying down the tool shed is ... 
Jade usually puts out an update email once a month, and you can email him 
about the availability of both the new " Fuzz Acid & Flowers " and " Tapestry of 
Delights ", and ask to be put on the mailing update list at his business email 
address which I'll be happy to send to anyone who's really interested in doing 
business with him ...

Good morning beloved yet unknown Bompsters,

One of my first posts here although I've been on the list for quite some 
time now, but anyway, many thanks for being so cool and congregating into 
such a cool place on the net.

I'm dying to know how the Tapestry of Delights Revisited turned out and if 
anybody got a copy of it yet or knows anyone who has. If anybody knows 
please float me some news.

Groove,
Rock,

Max >>
