(A&M SP 4875) It was compiled from their 2nd and 3rd album in Japan . The songs is original except You really got me. The producer was Harry Hosono (Yellow Magic Orchestra). So the arragement is electic pop with sythesizer. It is different from their original sound. They were cruder and rawer beat garage band with '60s beat style! The guitarist Ayukawa Makoto who loves Kinks and R .Stones was from legendary early '70s Japanese garage punk band SonHouse. And Sheena is his wife. Many garage beat bands influenced from them, Roosters,Mods, Rockers , they were released some records from Japanese major label,but I think those are not released in outside Japan. And there are many indee band at the time like Friction, Mirrors,Stalin, Lizard, etc. They were called Tokyo Rockers. The sound was more rough and aggressive .

Outta print? ON CD? WHAT! Hey Laura, It is in print and my suggestion would be to get it! I believe that you will like it. It was the high point in the Ventures discography and is available from One-Way (EMI) here, or as an import from England on See-For-Miles Records. It is an album that in all probablity, will never go out of print because it has been a steady seller since 1963.

Are you sure it was isopropyl Laura? In my experience isopropyl evaporates on contact and is harmless. I started using it after reading an article in a music magazine and have now used it for years without any problem. And that includes on all the Beau Brummels, Count Five 45s I've managed to find. No problem at all. Isopropyl is not an instant panacea, and so for example that bashed copy of 'Dirty Water' will still look like an ex-jukebox item afterwards. Many years ago I took some cotton and acetone (at least I think that's what it was called) to a Little Bob Story ep. The result - TOTAL MELTDOWN on impact. Fortunately a spare copy of the said record was soon located. On a related note certain unscrupulous record dealers here in the UK use lighter fuel to *skim* records. Now while that brings up a nice shinny/new looking disc, there definitely is vinyl damage. Anyone else want to throw in their 2p/2c worth?

It has occurred to me that someone on this mailing list might just have the ability to help me with a problem that's vexed me for years. I have something like 100,000 index cards crammed with info that comprises virtually every fact known about obscure bands and recordings of the '60s. Some of this was published once upon a time in Bomp Magazine but now I realize the only really practical way to publish it all is on the Web. My problem is I need to digitize it into some kind of database that could be transferred to a website, and searchable, where details of every record, band member and history, labels, even photos could be entered. No existing record collecting softwhere is anywhere near exhaustive enough for these purposes. I need a program that will run on my Mac so I can start working on this, and I propose to put the results on line piecemeal, as they are ready, starting almost immediately. It has been suggested I use Filemaker Pro, but though I have the program, I don't have the time or the technical ability to set up the database form the way it needs to be. So: does anyone feel like helping in this worthy cause? If so, please let me know, and thanks in advance. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Jan 1997 20:30:20 -0800 From: Roger Joseph Mah Subject: japanese punk rock the band that covered stiff little fingers' 'suspect device' was a japanese group called anarchy. only thing is they retitled it '3 3 3' and sung all the lyrics in japanese. yes, it's amazing, and was recently bootlegged on the german comp. 'back to front vol.2'. i'm hoping whoever puts out those bloodstains comps will eventually get around to a 'bloodstains over japan', as there is apparently a wealth of relatively obscure nipponese punk releases awaiting rediscovery. btw, any readers out there interested in selling their punk/psych/new wave/ weirdo vinyl collections please contact me immediately. i will be more than happy to offer you top dollar for your worthless records. also, any past members of obscuro punk bands from the late 70s or early 80s (in the u.s., europe, asia, etc.) please get in touch with me. i'd love to hear about your insignificant band! roger ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Jan 1997 20:30:16 -0800 From: Roger Joseph Mah Subject: Re: bomp-digest V1 #7 At 11:57 PM 1/14/97 -0800, you wrote: > >bomp-digest Tuesday, January 14 1997 Volume 01 : Number 007 > > > > >---------------------------------------------------------------------- > >Date: Tue, 14 Jan 1997 10:18:55 -0500 (EST) >From: dcoyle@mail.bright.net (David J.
