It contains the entire second LP- "Bonniwell's Music Machine" plus some singles and cuts from the original line up (first LP). If you have the Rhino compilation that came out about a dozen years ago you are already familar with the some of the tracks on this disc. It should be noted that this compilation contains nothing from the "Talk Talk" LP. As usual for a Sundaze release, the packaging contains extensive linear notes and the sound is excellent.

A radio-active something or other falls into the ocean, and dead fish begin floating all over the place. The movie contains some bizarre twistsurflimborocknroll and everybody in fishnet tanktops and bikinis dancing. It's one of the those flicks that has gone on to cult status.

I heard that it's got a lot of the legendary Smile album on it, but I don't know what else is on it. Also, is Smile ever going to be released?

I haven't seen it in years, but if I r I remember having seen this film 10 years ago back in Greece.It was directed by Michael Kakoyiannis who could have the Oscar with the classic drama "Stella" in the late fifties. It is a weird film. U have the local people of a small island hosting visitors from Athens (among them is an American tourist : Candice Bergen) and the film is rather a comedy. On the other side of the island,in a rocky shore, a radio-active thing falls and causes all the fishes dead. Two British navy officers land on that remote shore to find the radio-active thing.This part is a science fiction movie. They act secretly , trying not to be seen by the people in the inhabited part of the island who are having a party........

Sundazed can be reached via e-mail at mail@sundazed.com. They also have a pretty spiffy web site (www.sundazed.com/sunhome.html) that tends to be more up to date than the printed catalog. You might also fax them at (518) 731-9492, or phone to 1-800-295-8079. ------------------------------ From: scaf@pro-net.co.uk (Steve Coleman) Date: Tue, 20 Aug 1996 21:29:54 GMT Subject: Re: Golden State Recorders >From: Mark Robinson >Date: Mon, 19 Aug 1996 19:03:31 -0400 >As an FYI to those who thrive on the SF/teen sound, Big Beat released a couple >of compilations under the "Nuggets of the Golden State" moniker that contained >detailed linear notes on Leo and Golden State Recorders as well as some great >tracks and unreleased stuff. Highly recommended for those swear by the >Newcastle Five, E-Types sound. Love the bit on the 'Good Things Are Happening' CD where Leo asks the Pullice their opinion of Manfred Mann. After a few positive comments about 'Little Red Book' they then perform a hatchet job on 'I'm A Lover Not A Fighter' (via the Kinks). What they lose in polish they more than gain in charm though. This is shaping up to be quite a nice little series. The Beau Brummels rarities CD and the Autumn and Scorpio "Teen" collections are great. It's a pity Big Beat could not compile all the Golliwogs tracks though (the early singles were on Fantasy proper so we'll let them off). Each CD contains a few weak cuts, but at 70+ minutes running time who's complaining. Does anyone with the more "HIPPY" looking CD's in the series have an opinion on them they would like to share? Is it fair to judge the book by the proverbial cover? Some of the bands look at bit, well you know, suspect.

Hello Music Machine fans, can anyone tell me if a Sundazed CD called "Beyond the Garage" is worth picking up? Gawd, YES!!! This CD contains all the tracks from the 2nd Music Machine album ("Bonniwell's Music Machine," Warner Brothers 1967 - which, in my opinion, is superior to the "Talk Talk" album), one track previously only available on a flexdisc issued with a German magazine in the '80s, and a bunch of previously unheard tracks. The only disappointing thing about the CD is the fact that it doesn't contain the five or six outstanding outtakes that were issued on the now-out-of-print Rhino LP, "The Best of the Music Machine." Same question about the Collins Kids, "Rockin' on TV." I don't know how good the sound quality is on this CD, as I don't own it, but the performances are all excellent. (I have a bootleg video containing these performances.) BTW, I saw the Collins Kids backed by the Dave & Deke Combo a few years ago, and Larry is STILL a smokin' guitar player!

How about maybe the ultimate: The Seeds on "The Mothers In Law"???? (Dreadful show, by the way--I doubt Nick at Nite will bother with this turkey). The episode, as I recall, has the Seeds setting up in the main characters' living room and synching to an edited-down "Pushin' Too Hard." The band gets some lines, too. The plot, as I recall, has the Seeds being managed by someone in the cast (??) and they later have the (hammy) actors doing an awful rock 'n' roll song. They gave the Seeds a fake name, I want to say "The Amoeba"? (I think). This show is in color, just right for Sky's freaky shirt.

The box set from '93 has about a dozen songs/snippets that were to have gone on "Smile" and are, without exception, extremely interesting. There was an official proclamation from Capitol about two years ago that the "Smile" sessions would be released, but that apparently has been shelved. There was to have been a "Pet Sounds" double-CD released in May with that album getting a sort of "Beatles Anthology" treatment, but its release has been pushed back to September. I interviewed Mike Love two weeks ago in advance of yet another Beach Boys show in my town and he said "Smile" will never be released "because it's not finished." No kidding, Mike! That's why we want to hear it! He also said that the "Pet Sounds" box has been delayed because the non-Brian Beach Boys were upset about David Leaf's liner notes, which, as Mike put it, "further deify Brian." (He said he didn't mind deifying Brian but that the others should get recognition for their execution of the album, which is fair enough I guess.) Even though the Beach Boys are a pretty sad joke these days and Mike one of the chief forces in that status, he's still pretty fun to interview because you never know what he'll say. I asked him if he liked Brian and Van Dyke Parks' "Orange Crate Art," which I find pleasant, and he conjured up this defensive chuckle and said he never bothered because he heard it was all Van Dyke's songs with Brian singing (which it is) and who would want to hear an album of Van Dyke Parks' songs? Good grief, Mike. As for the Beach Boys show, it was the same as the other seven times I've seen 'em (of course, minus Dennis flailing away in his own world while another drummer kept time). And Carl's voice is still pretty. Sorry this went on so long. Also, there are bootleg "Smile" sessions available. I saw a 2-CD set in the Midnight catalog a while back for around $60. If someone can comment on the content and quality of that set, I'd love to hear it. Matt ------------------------------ End of Bomp V96 #67 ******************* You have been reading Bomp-digest.
