Can anyone confirm or provide details?? I remember getting my first taste of the Fleshtones from an IRS EP. IRS has been responsible for some pretty interesting music, and if this is true, I hope their masters end up with someone who'll care for them.

Well, with all this Olympics crap going on I'd almost forgot what's really cool about Georgia: W/Jayne County and the Electric Chairs! I came across a new cd, priced at 5.99 (close to 30 tracks!): Rock and Roll Cleopatra (comp. of recordings 1977-?). I have not listened to this stuff for YEARS. After several listenings to "Wonder Woman," "Out of Control," "Mean Muthafuckin Man" and "Fuck Off" I am cannot get enough of that raw transgender twang! Thank you. Thank you very much.

He has a copy of the American Bandstand gig, says that the Where the Action Is appearance is rare and even he has never seen it and he doesn't know anyone who has it, and the 3rd appearance is non-existant on tape to the best of his knowledge. So if someone has these, you've got a goldmine that even Roky can't produce. - --Erica >>> Patrick Cashin 07/31/96 02:27pm >>> ps- the 13th floor elevators tv appearance when they play beside a pool "is this the 13th floor, I must have gotten off at the wrong elevator") is Where the Action Is, not a local teen show HAS ANYONE *SEEN* THIS?

I have a question for you. Is it common for a person who has never owned a CD player worth over 250 bucks to notice all kinds of drop-outs and imperfections when listening to a 1000+ dollar CD player for the first time? It seems like every CD is badly flawed. And then when I listen on the old CD player, I can hear the drop-out, but very subtly compared to the expensive deck. So is this a damaged CD player, or is this par for the course? Is a high(er) end CD player just that much more sensitive? Does this mean I have to get rid of all my CDs and buy only 24k golds? :( Deej ------------------------------ From: Frank Uhle Date: Thu, 1 Aug 1996 01:45:55 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Re: Elevators -Reply I have seen two clips of the 13th Floor Elevators from mid-60s TV. One has them by a pool doing "Miss Me" which I believe is "Where the Action Is" (lip-sync, of course) and the other is also "Miss Me" sync-ed outdoors with I believe some sort of shrubbery or trees behind them. It's been several years, but I saw them on the same tape so I know there were two discrete clips. A pal of mine has this material on Beta tape and promised to make me a dub but hasn't gotten a VHS deck yet. He also has clips of ? and the Mysterians from "Action," one of "96 Tears" on a flatbed truck outdoors, one indoors I recall, doing "I Need Somebody." We actually showed these clips to ? himself and Bobby Balderrama (Mysterians guitarist) who hadn't ever seen them--they were blown away! Someone wrote that the Elevators only were on TV 3 times, but this must be wrong, as the Sundazed CD ("Texas Twisted") has them on at least 2 occasions (sorry, don't have it here to check) live on TV, which would make at least 4 dates added to the two clips I saw. Didn't someone say earlier that they were on Ed Sullivan? If so, that tape ought to exist (and might be LIVE!). Anyone know if they were on Ed S.?
