This volume had a track by the Kingsmen called "I Guess I Was Dreaming". If I recall, the song was originally done by an English group. Can anyone fill in the blanks on this track. Was it from an album? The group's lineup? Time of release? Also, there was track on "Girls In The Garage" by the Models doing the alleged original version of "Bend Me, Shape Me". Does anyone have any additional info on the Models? thanks Mark ------------------------------ From: Chris Barrus Date: Thu, 18 Jul 1996 08:23:10 -0700 Subject: I Guess I Was Dreamin' >Years ago, on Rhino's Nuggets compilations, there was a volume on the >Northwest.

Quoting from the liners: "I thought I was dreaming too when I came across this utterly convincing cover of an obscure Fairytale UK art-pop song by, that's right, those inept frat boys whom history is all to quick to write off as a one-trick pony, though they made no less than 12 albums and more than 25 singles in their time. This however is a truly inexplicable artifact. And guess what? It's the B-side of another UK psych cover, the equally obscure Skip Bifferty "On Love" (which is also on the ESF CD). - -c. - ------------------------------------------------------------------ Chris Barrus - No-Fi, IndieWeb, etc | "Who wouldn't want the Eyes of http://www.pacificnet.net/~xibalba/ | Frozen Shrimp on their side?" ------------------------------ From: Chris Barrus Date: Thu, 18 Jul 1996 08:40:37 -0700 Subject: Chas Chandler, RIP On the way in to work this morning, I heard on the local radio that former Animals bassist Chas Chandler died yesterday.

Allow me to introduce myself - my name's Glenn. I'm glad to be here! Pete sez... Can anyone here recommend the new 3 Cd box set on Sundazed of The Beau Brummels? I only have the first 2 Lp's by them(which I love-on CD-Sundazed) Is the box set a must, or is it just a lot of filler? I was told by two different people that the first 2 Lp's are all I need. Is this true? Well, I haven't purchased the box yet, but I am familiar with many of the tracks on it already. I'd guess that if you like the first two albums, you'd probably dig the box set. I'm looking forward to buying a copy, myself. (As always, too much good music, too little $$!) ********************************************************************** Hello to Lee and William! I'll be in contact with both of you soon. ********************************************************************** Speaking of Bill, he sed... I recently got a tape of a band called Powder from a friend. It's got some pretty cool sounds on it and I think they were around in the late 60's. Can anyone provide some background info on this group and a discography? Much appreciated. There is a wonderful 27-track CD called "Biff! Bang! POWDER" on the Distortions label (P.O. Box 1122, Bala-Cynwyd, PA 19004) that compiles just about all known recordings by this band, as well as the pre-Powder recordings by the Art Collection and post-Powder recordings by Thomas & Richard Frost. There is also an extensive article (and flexidisc) on the band in "Cream Puff War" issue #2 (349 Pineview Drive, Santa Clara, CA 95050). If you dig Who/Small Faces/Creation-style Rickenbacker-and-Vox powerpop, you'll really like this CD. Powder were probably the only "mod" band in San Mateo, CA in 1967-68! They actually had a friend who was able to jet over to London at whim (his dad was a commercial pilot) and buy them mod duds on Carnaby Street! In 1993, I saw a one-off partial reunion of Powder, sponsored by Cream Puff War, here in San Francisco. It was without a doubt one of the best shows I have ever seen! (Unfortunately, the Syndicate of Sound, who headlined that evening, were embarrassingly dull.) ************************************************************************* HITOMI-SAN: Nihon no '60s no "GS" no video to audio o sagashite imasu.

It purports to compile information about American psych and punk bands from 1964 through 1975 (or 76), and lists recordings and so on. I've only had this thing a day, but it's been a kick to look through. I get a special charge out of some of the album covers he reproduces--really jogs my memory. I notice that this author is responsible for a couple other titles: Flashback (a worldwide guide to 60s and 80s psych and punk), and Tapestry of Delights (a guide to British beat, psych, progressive music from 63-76). Does anyone have a point of view about these books. I can pick up Flashback for about $20 and the Tapestry title is around $45. ------------------------------ From: User Date: Thu, 18 Jul 1996 21:16:30 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Re: Chas Chandler, RIP On Thu, 18 Jul 1996, Chris Barrus wrote: > On the way in to work this morning, I heard on the local radio that former > Animals bassist Chas Chandler died yesterday. Apparently Chandler was in > the hospital for some heart problems and had a massive heart attack. I read about this in the NY Times obituaries this morning. Apparently, Chandler had gone in for some tests on an aortic aneurysm and died on the table. Next to his obituary was one for John Panozzo, original Styx drummer (who died of some sort of gastrointestinal thing.) ------------------------------ From: Plattrpuss@aol.com Date: Thu, 18 Jul 1996 21:45:18 -0400 Subject: Re: Bomp V96 #31 In a message dated 96-07-13 06:22:21 EDT, you write: >But the precious songs in them,Summer sun by Beathovenz and Sunside world by >Sound ltd set >can listen the swedish CD [Stora Popboxen 7243 4 75157 2 9 EMI Svenska] > from original master tape! >The CD is 3 cd box of swedish '60s.
