Hi J You are wright!It's no good. And in the Big Beat CD I can hear the screams!! I feel this is more heavey sound because of remastering. I have one more Sonics. LP [he Sonics featuring the witch and psycho]This is consisted their 3rd album exept Witch and Psycho. SN1002 Punk records may be bootleg. I can heare the screams in it.

Thanks for this info, 'cause I heard an uncut version on a local college radio show (it's on mbr 88.1 on Tuesday nights from 6-8 pm -- the plug) and i would be mighty disappointed to find this out after shelling out some $. - -pHIL _____________________________________ | phil@picante.com | | formerly lerman1@ix.netcom.com | | formerly dagnasty@ix.netcom.com | | Eep Ork Oh Uh Uh | | http://www.picante.com/~phil | |/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\| ------------------------------ From: Plattrpuss@aol.com Date: Sat, 29 Jun 1996 17:52:38 -0400 Subject: Radio Birdman reissues Has anyone heard any of the 2 new Radio Birdman reissues? I saw 'em today at Midnight Records in NYC and they were asking $28 a piece for them which seemed rather steep, even for Aussie imports. Is the sound really that much better? True, there were some bonus tracks but nothing that hasn't been released before. ------------------------------ From: Chris Barrus Date: Sat, 29 Jun 1996 16:23:25 -0700 Subject: Re: Radio Birdman reissues At 2:52 PM -0700 6/29/96, Plattrpuss@aol.com wrote: >Has anyone heard any of the 2 new Radio Birdman reissues?

Particularly 'Living Eyes", which was remastered from original multi-track tapes for the first time. If you are being charged $28 US for them, you are being ripped off. Even Japanese stuff in the US is only $18 to $22 usually, and Japanese stuff would cost importers a lot more than Australian, even allowing for the fact that RRP for Australian CDs here is $28 (US$22). o----------------------------o |Anthony Dale | |http://www.adam.com.au | o----------------------------o ------------------------------ End of Bomp V96 #20 ******************* You have been reading Bomp-digest.
