I was wondering if anyone has any Italian Beat compilations other than the one that was recently reissued on Get Hip (60's Beat Italiano). That CD tends to lean on the side of nasty fuzz psych garage, and I've been looking for comps or singles that are more pop/Freakbeat (like I Giganti, any comps?). Also, does anyone have the series of LPs on the Italian label Destination X? Singles for sale? Thanks a million!

Captain PJ. WCUW (Worcester) DJ. Encyclodeic mind regarding Garage Music. Appears when, the full moon is bright, at many Mid-Atlantic to New Englandgarage scenes, puppets in tow. This has been goin on for 15 years that I can attest to. Former team mascot for the Bay State Bombaderes, semi pro basketball team outta Springfield MA I think. Has been documented in local papers and wasted at many shows. A kind heart and fanatical "mental"ity. He has names and stories for all the puppets and is quite close to them. He can be abrassive, unnerving, and downright obnoxious at times but means no malice. He's the spirit that we're all wantin to let loose at times. Other regions have theirs. I lived in Texas and traveled around the south abit and ran into a similarlly driven character, Beatle Bob. He dances right up front in a frenzy and wants to be as close to the volume as possible. I've even seen Beatle Bob out on the west coast. PJ is more aggresive but means no harm. He and his pals, Dorky Bird, Ham-Ham and his new one Mr Porno Man (I think that's his name) just wanna rock same as the rest of us. He can get on your nerves, but a nicer guy you'd never meet. Can be seen at his own gigs with Kenee Highland's band at times. They've countless arrangements to treasured classics and have no objection to making chilli outta someones sacred cow. Try to stay clear when he's dancin', but if you see him, you know you're in the right place.

What bums me out about it is that I don't really think the mixes rock out as much as the originals (especially the original mono), and as you point out, they used a couple of longer fade-outs or false starts on cuts. It bugs me because maybe their top classic, "Why do I Cry" is not faded out like the original release, which is a concise pop classic-- another 20 or so seconds of repetitive riffing is left in, which then stops cold--kind of reducing the magic of the original experience to my ears (and for any "oldies radio" dj who might dare to play it, their biggest (?) "hit.") The cd was produced by Bob Irwin of Sundazed, whose judgement I sometimes (often?) question... Frank P.S. Thankfully the Sony cd has the mono 45 mix of "I Can't Get Away From You," which is one of their very coolest. A sample lyric: "A bell rings in my mind There's something I can't find You smoke my cigarette make the end all wet wear slitted skirts and my man-tailored shirts/ I can't get away from you" With a midtempo, almost doomy feel and lightly fuzzed guitar twangin' throughout, building to great crashing crescendos at the choruses and the scream/guitar break. ==================================================================== To unsubscribe from Bomp, send an e-mail to majordomo@bolis.com with "unsubscribe bomp" in the message body.

I just checked the title of the lp I have from the Shea Stadium concert. "Beatles Blast in Stadium Described by Erupting Fans" is the actual name of it. It does feature a brief snippet of the Remains live, way in the background behind an interview with a Beatle fan. It reminds me of the tape a friend of mine made of the MC5 live in 1968 in his front yard. They weren't playing there, though, they were about a mile away at Ann Arbor's West Park bandshell. You can actually hear the super-echoey and distant voice of Rob Tyner singing "Ramblin' Rose," when it is not being drowned out by the sounds of a lawn sprinkler and a passing car. (Should we put out a bootleg of it???)
