My 79-81 psycho-pop band The Jars (from Berkeley) used to do Hitchin'
as  if done by the Syd-era Floyd, stretch it out to 15-20 minutes! It
was one of our signiture tunes - we were shown hitch-hiking on the cover
of Creep mag in '80!

Best,

Frome MSD's Music Central there is no mention of an album, just the
following:
"Toussaint McCall
b. 1934, Monroe, Louisiana, USA. McCall's haunting hypnotic Nothing
Takes The Place Of You (number 5 R&B) was one of the highlights of a
golden year in soul, 1967. Six other singles followed and one album but
McCall could not recapture the magic of that one hit. He attempted to
revive his career in 1976 with an album on McGowan, but it met with
little acceptance. In 1988 he made a surprise appearance in the John
Waters film, HAIRSPRAY, where his lip-sync cameo to Nothing Can Take The
Place Of You, was a most memorable moment even if it was outside the
time frame of the movie."  

I'm guessing that a reissue is sprobably held up in litigation.  God
save our litigous country.

In a message dated 3/15/97  3:51:23AM, you write:

<< This is sort of on the topic of garagey stuff. Does anyone have any info 
 on the new Stone Roses offering, Garage Flower? It has a '96 copyright 
 and all of the songs are written/co-written by John Squire. Is this a 
 "boot?" Was this recorded before John left the band?  I haven't seen any 
 reviews in the music papers, so I'm kinda curious. >>
Yes, the album is demos of material recorded to tempt labels into signing the
band. It was released with almost no publicity around Christmas lasy year,
which gives some indication as to its pseudo legality !
It is interesting, that is about all. Strangely, most of it sounds not
dissimilar to the Bluetones !
Cheers,

Thanks for the message
"Love is my life" was sung by another vocalist Dave Hirao.
Kenneth played side guiter . 


He sung ' Grolia' , but We can't listen the early garage version
it was not recorded. I know only later progressive version,
but he sung killer with cool cutting guiter. (It is including same
album of Zen Blues which appeare on Planet X 03)
Sorry the album is Japanese release only.
