The 'Living Eyes' re-issue was actually taken from the original master tapes, which were not available when the original album was mastered, due to (from memory) a mad bastard who ran Rockfield Studios in Wales absconding with them. Thus 'Living Eyes' was mastered originally from a rough two-track mix-down, to the dissatisfaction of the band. The tapes later reappeared and were used in the recent re-issue. Correct me if I have any of this akilter, Deniz (and g'day). I think that the 'Radios Appear' mix is the same as the original, just perhaps clearer with a good digital remaster. I couldn't tell much difference anyway. You get some extra tracks with the re-issues too, so that is a plus (especially if you don't have 'Aloha, Bobby and Danno', frinstance due to have Australian versions of the originals, and thus miss out one of Birdman's finset moment). I think Deniz Tek Band still play this. The ultimate Birdman artifact, however, remains the box set 'Under the Ashes', posters, patches and all, and if you have the box you can stick the re-issues in it and lay the ghost to rest. o----------------------------o |Anthony Dale | |Adelaide, Australia | |http://adam.com.au/~aadale | o----------------------------o ------------------------------ From: dothepop@ix.netcom.com (Lisa Lindstrom ) Date: Fri, 14 Jun 1996 07:49:28 -0700 Subject: Re: Bomp V96 #5 Blair, Please refer to issue 1 of Do The Pop for Red Eye's address. I also saw the releases at Tower, if that's any help, but they were very expensive imports!

Roslie's on the list...?)? I know one label (can't recall name... they've done the Wailers also) has released a couple of cds, and that Bomp put out a sort of semi-Sonics lp in "81(?)... but would be interested in finding out if anything else is available.

The only way you can get them at the moment is via a big record outlet such as Virgin Megastore in LA or Tower Records, which had them in stock last time I was in LA; or your local record store might import them for you on special order. It will be very expensive, maybe $25/cd. That's why we'd like to get them out on a US label at a reasonable price. When and if it happens I'll update the list. Radio Birdman would like to play New Years Eve in Australia, then tour Europe for the month of Jan 97. As far as I know that is on the cards. It is possible but uncertain whether that would include gigs in LA and NY on the way over.

After being on line for almost a year, I'm glad to finally discover a list devoted to 60's garage related music. Yay! Someone posted recently asking if there are any good lists devoted to lounge/exotica. I suggest you check out the Exotica list. Send a message saying "subscribe exotica" to "majordomo@xmission.com." cheers, Michael Bennet cbennet0@counsel.com ------------------------------ End of Bomp V96 #6 ****************** You have been reading Bomp-digest.
