Date: Tue, 03 Sep 96 07:28:00 edt Subject: Sparkletones I have two live videos of Joe Bennett & the Sparkletones from the 50s. One is "Black Slacks", & the other is "Rocket". I can't remember which TV show.

My understanding of the Mellotron, is that the sounds are not stored digitally but on tape. You press a key and a tape with that note is played. You then have the ability to toy with the pitch, modulation, etc.... I am not sure if the instrument is polyphonic. I believe the latest catalog from Arf Arf records has an advert for a Therimin. Mark ------------------------------ From: Menachem Turchick Date: Tue, 3 Sep 96 8:27:19 -0700 Subject: Treblefest/Standells Clip Andrea, Thanks for the Treblefest report the other day. As it turns out, the daily paper here (Tucson, AZ) just ran a big article on the event, written by Tim Gassen of The Marshmallow Overcoat. He spends a lot of time complaining about certain groups being stand-offish and having attitude problems (always one of his big themes) but it still sounds like I should have made more of an effort to be there. Tim has also been heard to say that his band blew everyone else off the stage. I'm dubious. Apparently Tim is putting on a similar concert here called Trips '96. These things sure are proliferating! When People magazine covers one of them, we'll know it's gotten out of hand. Hitomi, If you're still looking for the clip of The Standells singing Dirty Water while mopping the floor, send 25 bucks to: Stephen M. Russo, P.O. Box 150, Boston, MA 02151-0001, and ask for the video "Garage Band Classics." The 25 includes overseas postage. He specifies U.S. funds only. He's got an ad in most recent issues of Goldmine with some more sixties stuff, but this one's the killer. Among the many artists are The Shadows of Knight, Music Machine, Love, Count Five and even Dino, Desi & Billy! Video quality is excellent (for this kind of bootleg material). I have most of the videos discussed on the list over the past few weeks, but most of the clips on "Garage Band Classics" were new to me. Menachem mturchic@igate.iscg.pima.gov ps I was going to send this directly to your emial address, but got an "invalid address" message. ------------------------------ End of Bomp V96 #80 ******************* You have been reading Bomp-digest.
