The album goes for more than $100 and I saw a European bootleg cd once for $75. Well last week I picked up a new release of BTVOTD with the soundtrack from the movie Groupie Girl for $25. It's on Screen Gold Records and has a 1997 date on the back. I'm sure it's probably a boot. Has anyone heard of Groupie Girl? I looked it up in a few cult movie books and couldn't find it. The bands are Opal Butterfly, English Rose, Salon Band, Virgin Stigma and Billy Boyle. All the booklet says is "Sex-hungry Superfans of the Pop Stars...they don't collect autographs any more!" The cover says "Two Great "Chick Flick" Soundtracks on one CD! I've picked up the three Russ Meyer soundtracks cds. Each has songs and dialogue from three of his films with a big color booklet of wild and raunchy photos-so beware!

Just kidding! For years I had that Redd Kross album, and had no idea where "Looking..." was from, until I saw the movie a few years ago, and was like "Where have I hear this song before?" BTW the soundtrack versions of the songs are not the same versions as in the movie, for instance, "Find It" on the soundtrack has different guitar (not as much fuzzz) and different lyrics/vocals. >>Did ya know that there was a band called The Upper Crust before this band >>called The Upper Crust...and I was in them?

I presume >you/they were around sometime between '85 and '95? ;-) (And just to prove my >reading comprehension, I'd also wager that the music was kind of >garage/surfy...?) When did you call it quits? The band was around for less that a year, 1991-92 and included three former members of the Worst (the same line-up that was on their first Screaming Apple EP), a radio dj from Victoria named The Amazing Larry and myself. We recorded four or five songs at a studio in Vancouver in a retro garage vein and that was that. The song "We're The Upper Crust" appears on the CD. Co-incidentally, another old band of mine, the 14th Wray are on the CD, and Greg Watson who was one of the guitarists appears as a member of the Fiends on the Time Machine CD as well. The Fiends feature the former singer with the Worst! I don';t know if the other Upper Crust was around the same time or not. Wasn't one of the guys in the UC in that band the Flies from years ago? I have a couple of 12" records by them, and found a 7" by them from '84 a few weeks go. It's got Clint from Moving Parts/Space Negroes/Mission Of Burma fame playing sitar on the b-side. >> Amazingly, I've never heard anyone cover this great song.

You need to have really strong vocals to do "Find It" justice. I mean, the chick who sings it is wailing! Kind of sounds like Cher! The Diaboliks are okay, but Babs is not the greatest vocalist. She does a good job of designing clothes for her to pop out of, though. Alan W. ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

Nat Freedberg, a/k/a Lord Bendover, is a former Fly. All I've heard (and have) is a 6-song 12-inch on Restless - "Get Burned"? It includes such hits as "Zombie Burger" and "I'm In Pittsburgh and it's Raining." That 7" you found sounds interesting.

Lola Actually, this goes WAY back. When i was roadie-ing for the Pagans in '78, we played Minneapolis. The opening band, The Suburbs (one of the best live bands I ever saw!) was using a bar-stool for a stand. In my days with The Jars, my organ stand was a shopping cart which, besides being a group trademark was great for lugging equipment. Our later Subterranean lablemates Wilma (how come they've never been acknowledged as Riot Grrl ancestors?) used an ironing board around '81.

I really loved The Flies... "All Hung Up" was a killer single. Yeah, you're right, Nat Freedberg (of the Upper Crust) was in The Flies... He was also in The Titanics. (And, later, I believe, The Satanics.) The Diaboliks... I really like that CD on Dionysus. Tons of fun. My high school students really enjoyed it, too. (Yeah, and that's *without* seeing the CD cover.) They especially dug the version of "Willie the Wild One." Someone (Brian Poust, maybe?) mentioned that he thought there was a CA band with the same name... I think that group was just called Diabolik. I believe John Chilson (Loons, Evil Eyes, Hoods, Trebels) played with them... they also featured a female who had a clothing store, Mrs. Mirella Wiseman, wife of singer Jay, ex-Hoods and Trebels. I never got to hear this bunch, but I had a blast some years back when Mirella and her friend Liz ended up staying at my place in NJ for a weekend 'cuz our mutual pal Rockin' Ron Rimsite (ex-'99th Floor fanzine publisher) told Mirella I might be able to put them up. Speaking of which... anyone hear from Rockin' Ron of late?

I was recently looking through a discography on line, through the Delerium website, and they listed the Fugs' debut release as "The First Album" (ESP1018, 1965) followed by the self titled album (ESP1028, 1966). My question is this, I've got an album called "The Village Fugs Sing The Songs of the Village Fugs" on Broadside Records (304), I'm not sure of the year. Can anybody tell me what year this came out and why it might not have been included in the discography?

Yeah, the Broadside album and ESP 1018 are the same thing... ESP reissued the Broadside lp. I am informed by a certain coworker (Dr. Arwulf Arwulf) that the Broadside lp contains a different (he says better) take of "Swinburne Stomp." So that Broadside lp is a hot item, I would bet! I believe Fantasy has put this out on cd now with extra tracks. I don't know which take of that tune is on it (or if both are). I believe it came out in '65, the year the ESP rerelease is dated to.

I don't think they sound anything like the Trashwomen, although it *is* girl-vocal garage rock, but the Diaboliks have more of a 60's garage pop sound, sorta like the Pleasure Seekers, and not as lo-fi or noisy as the Trashwomen.
