(It's my guess that US bands covered more Zombies songs than those of any other UK group, but who knows?) He has a pretty formidable list already, which he could probably email to anyone seriously interested in helping find additions. I'm sure there are dozens more he hasn't got. He's only looking for stuff recorded in the '60s, though, so forget all those modern bands. Anyone wishing to help, or just tell Alec what great work he's doing, can email him at: palao@pop.sirius.com Cheers, Greg ==================================================================== To unsubscribe from Bomp, send an e-mail to majordomo@bolis.com with "unsubscribe bomp" in the message body.

Members were Ace (real name Chris Kefford): v, b; Cozy Powell: d; Dave Ball: v, lg; Dennis Ball: v, b Looks like they had two bass players and no rhythm guitar. Can that be right? Well the records sound like it I guess.

His high-strung personality makes him a funny guy sometimes if you know him. He's really not so bad. However why are you, as a Bomp list subscriber, buying Bomp records for our competition? What was he charging for the Pebbles albums? We charge $5.... hard to beat. This space isn't for advertising, but I wonder sometimes how many on this list actually know what Bomp is...! We also carry one of the largest selections of 60s reissues and nw garage bands anywhere. Get a free catalog, or read it at our webside: http://www.bomp.com/bomp/Mailorder.html However, an area where Midnight, like Norton, is very good and that we don't carry is all that fifties stuff, rockabilly, doo wop, blues, teenage delinquent music, and so on. Their catalog is well worth persusing. They get offbeat things (bootlegs) sometimes too.

They did a 3-camera video shoot of every band, plus a guy was doing an audio recording, too. Much better results than any of the stuff on that Sleazefest '94 video. We have a video of our performance (the first few songs were messed up, 'cause since we were the first band up - after the infamous power outage - they were still trying to work out the bugs with the video system).

I think the band was simply burned out from playing too much and needed a well deserved break. Since their formation (summer '96) they played something close to a hundred gigs and played and toured with Agent Orange, Los Straitjackets, Satan's Pilgrims, the Neckbreakers, SCOTS, Fleshtones and the list goes on and on... They finished 1997 by recording a full length LP/CD in September, which will hit the stores around March or so, and will start playing again around that time. Also, the Space Cossacks plan to tour the west coast and mid west for the first time this year. Their first Washington DC show will be a record release party with the Fathoms, who will travel from Boston for this event (this band will also celebrate along, as their new record comes out the same day). A release party will also be held in Boston and the Space Cossacks will travel up there for this one as well.

I recently got a record by Los Mockers, a 60's band from Uruguay that has been mentioned here before from what I remember. The LP I got is on a Spanish label (C.A.D.A. - "Historia de la musica pop Espanola"), and contains 12 great original songs. Does anyone know whether Los Mockers record released by Get Hip a few years ago contains the same material? Are there any other recordings by Los Mockers available? I would also like to ask about another band from Latin America. I'm not sure about their name but it must be either Los Ciquos or Los Ciguos (maybe I'm alltogether wrong though). I heard an amazing track by them (I think the lyrics refer to the sun) and a friend told me their name and he mentioned that they were either from Peru or Mexico and that this song is included in the "Psychedelic Moods Vol.2" compilation on Ciccadelic Records. I would appreciate any information about them (and the correct spelling of their name...).

Back when I was a kid in the 60s, the local Woolworths used to sell boxes of old 45s, 10 for a dollar. They came boxed in cardboard, and you could only see what the top single was. I got a bunch of those boxes, and one had "Leader of the Laundromat." It wasn't until years later that I heard "Leader of the Pack" on the radio, and for the longest time, I thought it was a take-off on "Leader of the Laundromat!" At the time (I was about 11, I thought most of the singles in those boxes were just junk.) Today, I view them as some of the coolest records I own! Rare surf instrumentals, old Red Bird singles, and a lot of cool picture sleeves! Those were the days!

Many are pressed only in editions of 300 or 400. Now the German and Italian stuff is everywhere (for better of worse) but there's still tons of limited releases coming out of Europe. Midnight has always had the habit of listing things in their catatalog that they don't actually have yet, and sometimes never get. It's not a reliable source. In fact I haven't found anyone in the US who gets many of these Euro comps. But there are some fine dealers in Europe, including Beat Behind the Dykes, Tracks on Wax, Wolfgang Volkel, and one you may not know of, but he's running the Bomp operation in Germany now, and has a cool website, and he can usually get any Euro comp at fair prices. His name is Harry, the URL is: http://www.vinyl.de/, and the email address is: BOMP! D.C. Schallplatten GmbH.

Well, as far as I know, Fink's new band is called the Raydios. They did two shows in December and they are playing with the Oblivians and Guitar Wolf at a club in Tokyo this month. I went to the one of the show in December but I missed them out since they are the first band played out of 12 bands. They just started so they don't have anything released yet. > Anyone know anything about Engine Boo, too???? > As Jason wrote, Engine Boo has one EP on Wallabies, and has two songs on Chloroform comp. on Mangrove. They were playing shows in the fall of 1996 when Chlofororm comp was released, but since then I haven't noticed they were playing any gigs in Tokyo. "Chloroform" is actually the name of the series gig promoted by the Registrators and the Knocks, and actually some of bands on Chloroform LP are not around any more. Cock Scratch is gone (the guitar player is in a new band called Intimate Fags). The Registrators, Tonight, Young Ones and Fifi's Fire Starter are the current line-up of Chloroform gigs. First Alert is from Kyoto in the west part of Japan and they come to Tokyo a few times a year. First Alert supported the Drones Japan tour in December. If you like Chloroform bands, you will like Phantom Rats, who play Devil Dogs type of fast 77 punk with some decent song writing skill (and bad lyrics if you really care). They have one song on that Estrus benefit CD, but they called its quit in the February of 1997. Phantom Rats has two albums and two EPs on 1+2 and one really good EP called "Get Out" on Freaked Out Frequencies label in Netherland. The best drummer of the current Japanese garage bands is Kyo of Mad 3, which is pretty known to anyone here into the current garage scene. especially when they play Caravan on live (originally Duke Elington's song, and coverd in Al Casey's Surfin' Hootenany LP). You won't believe it until you see him playing, but this guy gets unbelievable stage move behind the drum set. The other two of Mad 3 are also one of the best guitar / bass players in Japan.

It has pretty good sound, and contains some of the best cuts off of several different earlier boots, plus some things I never saw elsewhere. There are like 3 real early cuts (Zappa is on them or produces), pre-A&M, then 5 cuts "Live at the Avalon 1968" which might actually be earlier, then some demos ca. the "Safe As Milk" album, finally 8 cuts from a demo made for "Trout Mask Replica." The latter cuts are similar to the album versions, just primitively recorded and more "live" sounding. 71 minutes of stuff, probably the best outtakes and only live material around from his early years. I got mine about 4 years ago at Venus Records in NYC for $25 (ouch), haven't seen it since then.

The legs are in the same style case as Vox organ legs came in but the stand is not the Z-stand of Voxes. To my knowledge, Vox didn't make a Panther. If they did, I must have one to make my Vox organ lineup complete. Can someone tell me who made the Panther and a little about it? (I do know from the leg case that these were made in Italy.) In the same room there was a combo organ made by Doric. It's grey and much thinner than the Voxes and had presets instead of drawbars. It looked like it came from the '60s but I could not tell. Anyone know anything about Doric organs? It actually looked really nice, like a cross between a Vox (built thin) and a Farfisa (all white keys and presets). Also in this room, which was literally piled with keyboards that used to cost thousands of dollars, was an Arp Omni, a Hohner String Ensemble and a couple Wurlitzer pianos. Incidentally, I did buy a Wurlitzer, which was my whole purpose for this excursion. I paid $325 for one in near mint condition, which was a good $50 more than I intended to pay, but it looked at me with those warm little keys and, well, you Bompers know the rest. (This was the keyboard of choice for the Sonics, of course, so I had to have one!)

If you have seen some of the Beat Beat Beat or Beat Club clips of them live, you will know what I am talking about. This guy was just a master of what he was doing, and played in a very playful, casual-looking way onstage. While Keith Moon was hyperkinetic and almost violent, this guy is just chomping some gum, laying down the beat, but when he neets to put in a bit of extra fill or something, he does it very spiritedly, with sort of a bemused grin as he bashes his cymbals almost sloppily, but perfectly. He made me think of a guy who is working 9 to 5 running a jackhammer, but does it better than anybody else, knows it, and despite the somewhat unglamorous role, takes pride in what he does and is always right on the money. But, 60s records are full of great drumming... and great SOUNDING drumming (before they decided to record them as though they were playing 10 separate instruments that each were mic'ed and equalized differently, instead of a 'drum kit').

I agree that Bobby Elliott is one of the true greats, as evinced by (among others) "Look Through Any Window", "Stay", and the strange triangular flicks at the start of "If I Needed Someone". Another drummer who often leaves me literally speechless is Hugh Grundy of the Zombies -- turn your ears to the totally sublime "Just Out of Reach", "Tell Her No" or "Whenever You're Ready", especially the one-take, one-track BBC versions.

VELVEL GETS KINKS OUT WITH REISSUES: While the Kinks' legacy resonates through the work of such Britpop acts as Blur and Oasis, much of the Kinks' catalog has been unavailable for years. A new deal with Velvel Records should remedy the situation, as the indie is reissuing 15 of the band's albums from the '70s and '80s. The sets "Muswell Hillbillies" and "Everybody's In Show-Biz" will be the pact's first fruits, arriving April 28. Alternate takes, extensive liner notes, and original artwork will also accompany the remastered reissues. "The records all sound very exciting to me," says Kinks founder Ray Davies. "In fact, listening back to them made me realize how important those years were to the band." ==================================================================== To unsubscribe from Bomp, send an e-mail to majordomo@bolis.com with "unsubscribe bomp" in the message body.
