Suburban Boston, Beverly to be exact. He was voted "Best Dressed" in junior high school...it musta been the Brian Jones hair-do. The sonofabitch kept buggin' me about the clarinet (I played one at the time) and about reading music. He sat across from me in home room and would gobble up bennies, this was in eight grade. Yeah.... Real Kids, DMZ and the Modern Lovers....great music during a very drepressing time for music in Boston. Sorry to hear about Alan's accident in '92....

I've tried to call Joh Felice on a number that Aram Heller had for him, but both times I called, it had been disconnected. Does anyone have his number? I tried Miriam, too, but she had the same number. I kmnow he's been working on a new record w/ Steve Wynn, but that's about it.

It's a great one, for sure! The Groovies' "Teenage Head" album gives it stiff competition in my house though... I was *really* happy when Norton reissued it on CD. I wish they hadn't mastered the CD from an LP, although the LP they used was cleaner than my old Red Star copy. I have an LP at home that's an alternate version of that 1st album. Same songs but different performances. It came out on the Fan Club label around 10 years ago. Anyone know where that stuff came from ? >if anyone ever saw these guys live or has any good stories or current info, >i'd love to hear about it. I saw them 3 times in the late 70s. The 1st time was in a tiny bar in Worcester, MA (aka Wormtown) called Circes. The opening band (possibly Blue Moon) had Preston Wayne in it, I think. The Real Kids had the lineup from the 1st LP, and they were fabulous. Next I saw them at Cantones in Boston, opening up for the Troggs. There were 2 sets, with seperate admission. The Troggs didn't show up for the 2nd set, and a brawl broke out. My most vivid memory of the Troggs from that night was how out of breath Reg Presley looked. Maybe he was too tired to do the 2nd set... The Real Kids were great again. The last time I saw them was on a boat cruising around Boston harbor. Billy Borgioli was gone by this time, and I didn't enjoy them as much. In the middle of their 2nd set John Felice walked off. Alpo said "Felice is in a mood" and that was the end of it. I hope the new Felice recordings come out soon. I enjoyed his contribution to the Sam The Sham tribute CD. I'm also encouraged by the Real Kids reunions, especially after hearing the song "I'll Never Sing That Song Again" on the Lowdowns album. That song was pretty depressing.

Love that Bob Crewe orchestration!!< I'll suggest it next time I talk to the reissue guys at Rhino. I do know they are working on the Blow-Up soundtrack, and they have some unreleased cuts. They called me looking for info on that, seems there are a couple tracks that have the Lovin' Spoonful's music but someone else (other than John Sebastian) singing. I wasn't able to help, but just out of curiousity, does anyone here know what the deal was with that?
