The lead vocals sounds on the pop side (great!), but the song is really rockin'. The flip-side is a cover of the 13th Floor E. "May the Circle Remain Unbroken". For me, it's from the mid-80's and very few of it have been printed... Does anyone have any infos about it ?

I have "Best Of" CDs by all of them, and I own the "Break It All" LP by the Shakers, but I need any other albums by any of these bands. Stereo is preferred where possible, but I'll accept mono (especially in cases where there were no stereo issues). I'll pay fair prices for these items, as I know they're rare and quite pricey. Failing that, if anyone has these but doesn't want to sell them, I'd certainly be grateful to anyone who'd tape them for me. Thanks so much in advance! - -- Pop Rules!!!!!

This, of course, is the obvious question. While I enjoyed the last reunion (at GarageRage in Dec., '95), I had to wonder whether they'd actually rehearsed *together.* They declined to do many songs 'cuz, "That wasn't on the practice tape." I just kept wondering if all they'd done was to each get a copy of the tape, play along with it, then show up that night. Of course, considering that Orin Portnoy didn't sign on to play bass for the gig till about a week or so before the show... Evidently, this time it's Frank on drums, with Bobby Belfiore & Tony Matura on guitars. Bass duties will be handled by someone that Bobby's been playing with in another project of late. (Personally, I wish he'd just get ex-Secret Service guy Jim Gange to do it, but I guess that's life.) Maybe they'll do a couple new songs. I liked the one Tony had last time.

It may not be that apparent, but the damage is there. The method you describe may not be the best because it counts on the needle to dig the dirt particles out of the grooves as the record spins. It's like one of those lift and shave razors, but the needle doesn't glide over the surface of the record and pull the dirt away, it digs into the groove f the record and builds the dirt up along the back of the needle. As the dirt builds, it pressures the sides of the groove and causes damage, just as a dull or chipped needle will. Cleaning the record before playing it is much safer, and again, will improve the life expectancy of your needle. With the groove of your vinyl dug out, the sound quality is definitely decreased. WD-40?? Well, don't try this on Halloween or Sound Effects records, the doors will stop squeaking!! I'd be scared to use it as well. WD-40 is heavily petroleum based. I bet your records would burn much faster, though. Brian Poust At 02:26 AM 1/16/97 -0500, Freddy wrote: >I've been reading this ordeal for a while so I guess I will put in my 2 >cents.

Bennet -- Bennet ^ Bennet PLLC - Washington ) Subject: Merseybeat To: Bomp list, Inet The post on the Rattles got me to thinking, I don't think I've ever seen any decent Merseybeat compilations on CD. There were a whole bunch of great compilations of Liverpool beat music that came out in the early 80's on Edsel and See for Miles, but ten years into my slow transition from vinyl to digital, I realize that there's not a lot of that type of stuff that I've seen on CD. Does anyone know if there are any good CD compilations or individual band albums from Merseybeat giants like the Big Three?

I seem to remember seeing that they had a hit in the early seventies. What can someone tell me about them? Why, oh why. . . uh, what was the question again? http://kcnet.com/~paddygav/images.html ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Jan 1997 02:13:46 -0500 (EST) From: FFortune@aol.com Subject: Re: you are gonna hate me... Laura, As far as that stuff goes I heard that Glass Plus is the best of those kind of products, I saw some Cat in this rekkid store In Kalamazoo using it. I couldn't believe it.
