Smith" Date: Fri, 21 Jun 1996 09:28:46 -0400 Subject: Bob Denver's Address/ Great British Psychedlia comps Greg asked earlier about a series of reissue comps called the Great British Psychedelic Trip or something. I listened to volume 1 or 2 in prep for a radio show I was doing on Euro pop psyche and it was very light, lilting, country/folk mixed with psych overtones. I do not give it a good recommendation unless one is a big fan of the most Top 40 aspects of the old Bam Caruso series. However, it may always contain the one demo version of some favorite song here or there- essentially I was turned off on it do to lack of actual "rock" music appearing on the cd, but that's a personal taste issue... Greg- what was the original question? the last time (94/95) I spoke to Bob's agent he was still doing weather in West Virginia, home of Hasil Adkins. He has a house there, but I believe he can best be reached by his Las Vegas address, which is probably findable by searching on "Bob Denver." I think his agent picks up the mail from the LV PO Box- 'cuz I'm pretty sure that's where he said to send the info I was sending...

There are enough interesting tracks by the Golden Cups, Bunnys, and others to make it worthwhile. For the most part, half of the enjoyment is from cultural differences, etc. Hi Don Do you have 3of planet X(cover pix is the Monster MOVIE)? I think they are best selection of Group Sounds. About the discography[NIHON ROCK-KI]. It include not only famouse G.S. but all of G.S. This is published by SINKO MUSIC KK. But they don't accept overseas mailorder. If you know the branch of Japanese book store in U.S. like SANSEIDO,KINOKUNIYA etc, You may be order it. The writer of the book want to get U.S. book about Musical Movie which had article about Tigers.It was published few years ago.But I don't know the title. Do you know about it? I don't know "Cambodian Rock"at all.But I heard some of Malaysia,It included some beat band and girl with Karaoke. In Japanese'60s , Golden cups and Dynamites played in U.S.ARMY BASE in their early years.They knew about American music from there. Hitomi however, I need to mention that most people on this list may want to check out "world music" bootlegger Twisted Village's recent release "Cambodia Rocks." It's wild twisted psyche rock from Cambodia around 1968-1972 or so. A few tracks are lilting female karaoke vocals which we associate with Southeast-Asian music, but the majority of the songs are strange garage/ psychedelic tunes which are unlike almost anything else out there. Very comparable to Os Mutantes or one of the other genre-splitting psyche bands. however, thumbs down on Twisted Village's no liner notes thing. It's totally lame. Plus they oddly assume that these bands played in bars near Cambodian US Army bases- au contraire, there were no permanent bases in Cambodia, only "camps," LZs, or firebases that would be gone a month later... these were Cambodians listening to US Army radio of the 60s and interpreting the music for their own culture- and it rocks. reading too much into things...

The two albums I have by the band demonstrate great songwriting ability and tight rocking outfit. In many ways they are reminiscent of the late 70's Power Pop bands (Scruffs, 20/20, Sorrows, Pezband), even a Shoe produced their second LP. Perhaps not enough people were interested and Polygram decided to release them. Whatever the reason, it is bad news for pure pop fans. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Steve Coleman (scaf@pronews.pro-net.co.uk) FLESHTONES HALL OF FAME http://idun.unl.ac.uk/~hfa9colemas/fhof.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ End of Bomp V96 #13 ******************* You have been reading Bomp-digest.
