The CD mentions that the vinyl version contains a couple of extra cuts. One of the extra bands was the Mummies. Don't remember the other one... It's definitely a keeper. I liked the Swingin' Neckbreakers cut on Turban Renewal, and their Shake Break album. Do they have another album out ?

I have it on tape, but I've never been able to find the actual record. I think, and I could be wrong here, that one of thee Headcoatees gals was in Ug and the Cavemen, also. I think she was the drummer? There were a lot of really cool, weird things that came out of that whole British garage/psychobilly/trash scene in the '80s. The X-men, who also may have a connection to Ug were pretty cool and the first band I ever heard cover the insane Pebbles oddity "Leave My House" on vinyl. I can think of many groups from that period I dug: the Vibes (who mutated into the Purple Things), Tall Boys, Wigs, and many others stretched the boundries of rockabilly, garage and psych music. Of course, one of my all time faves was the Cannibals, and if anyone knows what happened to them, let me know! A few years ago, I got in contact with Mike Spencer, who even called me one night and the band and him played a song over the phone! (they were at their rehearsal space), and I talked to Mike's four-year-old daughter. Anyway, I sent them a bunch og interview questions, and never heard from them again! Repeated attempts to contact them yeilded no results, and subsequent letters were returned, "addressee moved/no forwarding address."

Well, I don't even want to *try* to list the singles (I don't have them all, anyway), but there are a bunch, including stuff for Telstar (their main label), Estrus, and a couple European labels. However, the LP/CD category is fairly easy: Live For Buzz - Telstar, 1993 Shake Break - Telstar, 1995 Their approach is raw garage rock, Sonics-style rock'n'roll. They're from Trenton, NJ, so the majority of their shows are East Coast, but they've toured Europe, plus done some touring towards the mid-West (I know they did some dates with Southern Culture), and they've played the Seattle-Bellingham-Vancouver axis. They're also going out to Denver, CO next weekend for TrebleFest. Anyone else here, besides me, heading out for that? It'd be fun to meet up. (Oh yeah... I believe Neckbreakers fans will also want to see *Thee* Lyres, also known as Man or Mono-Man.)

While I don't think the Lyres did that great a version of Ring Dang Doo, there are friends of mine who think it's the best track on there (and they *love* the rest of it, too.) I do think The Devil Dogs did a great job with their track. Actually, I can't pick a personal fave on this one, though it's incredibly cool hearing Handsome Dick Manitoba go all out, and John Felice does a great version of Little Red Riding Hood. But the list goes on throughout... fantastic record, I thought. > wondering about the troggs tribute thing- ithink the same people put it > together. anyone have this and is it worth getting? kersting > Actually, I thought this one (Groin Thunder) was put out by Dog Meat or Au Go Go. It is, however, a double LP, like the Sam the Sham tribute. It also shares some of the same bands. Gotta love The Muffs doing You Can Cry If You Want To. Tons more coolness on this, but I still like the Sam the Sam tribute more.

Power Awright, it's Friday and I got more time than usual to kill, so here goes. I just picked up a couple of garagey-instro things: Shadowy Men on A Shadowy Planet's Savvy Show Stoppers and the Apemen's Are You Being Surfed. Mere words do not describe how effin' good these two items are. The forementioned, among other things contains a great cover of Run Chicken Run (not quite so cool though as the one Iggy did in the live Boston broadcast in 1988, though) and the immortal Kids In the Hall theme "Having an Average Weekend." About that Apemen cd: It's pure Raw Power, undiluted Sonic ecstacy.

It should be relatively easy to find. Try that e-mail address that was quoted recently for Billy and Miriam at Norton Records or have a look at the Midnight Records Web site. By the way the vinyl version has a couple of extra tracks not featured on the CD. There are heaps of great interpretations and I do not think you will be disapointed with your investment.
