I know a *ton* of people who would absolutely flip to see you guys. I've got friends from Portland, Maine down thru Washington, DC who would journey to NY for the event.

They had several LPs in the 60's in the United Artists label. Are they any good (do they play commercial pop or garage-pop music)?

First, I seriously doubt that Gerry is on the list, in fact I even doubt he owns a computer. We heard he was living in Gig Harbor, painting houses or something. Ben, Etiquette released "The Boys From Tacoma" in 1994. It's a collection of some of their stuff, from their second album up to their "psychedelic" attempt on "Walk Thru The People." Nothing from their debut album is on it due to copyright problems, but it's been bootlegged several times. Also, Etiquette just reissued a single CD of "The Ultimate Sonics" with an interview with Andy Parypa at the end, as well as a hilarious ad for one of their shows from Seattle radio, circa '65.

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. Where do you start with Sonics re-issues? Several years ago the French label Fan Club (subsidary of New Rose) licensed the first two albums on Etiquette and placed them back to back on one CD. Then Big Beat records in the UK went one better and did the same but with bonus tracks. I also believe that the re-activated Etiquette label has put together a Sonics package. Additionaly there is a very good CD now available of Jerden material. OK then here is a brief discography to get you going: Here Are The Sonics/Boom Fan Club FC017 CD The Ultimate Sonics Etiquette ETCD 024027 (2 CDs - 32 songs) Maintaining My Cool Jerden JRCD 7001 I do not have the Big Beat CD details to hand but as with all of the labels re-issues the packaging and mastering are probably very good. Try and get this in preference to the Fan Club version. Unfortunately the Etiquette material is quite expensive for us Europeans (Is this the same in the States?). Still sometimes you have to bite the bullet as with the excellent Wailers retrospective.
