I have a 7" on Bag of Hammers and it says something about them being from the St. Louis area. I'm also wondering if they still may be around because their name showed up on a list of bands in the local entertainment weekly (The Riverfront Times) a couple of months ago, nominated for best local alternative(???) band... but they never play anywhere that I know of! Was that a joke or what?

I was hooked. Altho the Guess Who do a fine version and of course the Who do their own take of it on Leeds, there's never been a purer version than this one for my money. Johnny Kidd's is indeed the purest, and the standard. The Mosquitos did a cool version of Shakin' All Over back in the mid-80s, with great harmonies on the chorus and a fine scream by lead singer Vance Brescia. Another fine version of Shakin' All Over has been performed regularly by The Secret Service (of NY), who first did this back in 1985. I'm hopeful that a compilation of studio and live recordings from the "old days" will be released in a month or two, and you'll be able to judge for yourselves. The CD will contain what I feel is an amazing version of the song from a show at CBGB in 11/87.

Pretty sure that a few copies have turned up in the last couple of years (I'm sure you can guess the price on these babies....) and was intended for release/released to dj's only on the Musart label.

The Customs featured guitar from Peter Greenberg (DMZ/Lyres). Apparently the cd includes the two 45s from '79 "plus an assortment of top-notch outtakes,demos and live cuts from '78 to '81". If the unreleased stuff is as good as those 45s this will be a hot cd of garage-punk. It's on the Shake It label. The only other thing I can see on the list on that label is a 7" by the Long Gones, another mid-west band who I assume are current. Anyone know about Shake It?

I mean, it's taken as fact Britain was a cultural oasis until 1963, but there must have been something, right? I have compiled my own extensive list of pre-lennon/mccartney British r'n'r, and it goes something like this: Johnny Kidd and the Pirates (had to add my fave by these guys from 64 'Jealous Girl') Screaming Lord Sutch and the Savages Hrmmm...Anything to add? This may not be for everyone, but I really dig the following pre-Beatles discs Shadows-of course Tornados-as well Cyril Davies & All Stars Alex Corner Blues Incorporated(more bluesy than Rock-n-roll) Jet Harris John Leyton (not really rock-n-roll) but brilliant Meek productions Shane Fenton & Fentones plus a lot more Joe Meek early discs (i.e. Houston Wells & Marksmen, Cavaliers... ) but only a handful would I consider Rock-n-roll. that's all I can think of off hand any additions? >> ==================================================================== To unsubscribe from Bomp, send an e-mail to majordomo@bolis.com with "unsubscribe bomp" in the message body.

I thought I had it on a K-Tel record, but it turned out to be The Guess Who's version. I do have it on a tape though if you need it - The Mosquitos played it during an interview on a WNYU-FM radio show called "This Is Pop" back in '85 or so. Let me know if you need a copy and can't turn up the vinyl.

Williamson" Subject: Re: Are the kids REALLY alright? As a 16 year old I think the simple answer is... my generation sucks. Also while I don't know too much about today's music a lot of my friends listen to it so I hear it in cars and stuff and it is pretty terrible. There's nothing in terms of rock and roll on the radio. Obviously there are kids who are into rock and roll, I have 3 friends who got to school with me that are hardcore into garage and surf and some more that are into it casually. But the big problem is there's absolutely NOTHING on the radio. The Rollings Stones new stuff blows. rap is horrible and unoriginal (I'm not a big rap fan but at least The Sugar Hill gang is fun to listen to). It's the same with ska, I don't really like it but The Specials are a 1,000 times better than that new stuff. Today's punk is horrible watered down stuff. Then there's Marilyn Manson, Hanson, the Spice Girls ect. ect. I have to turn on Oldies stations and hope there's a Rivieras song somewhere in between boring late 60's stuff or turn it to Classic Rock and wait for AC/DC after all the southern rock stuff. But my question is... did everybody listen to punk rock or was it just the kids in the know. My perception was it that it was a underground thing that was mostly ignored by most kids. At least we don't listen to Disco, Boyd ==================================================================== To unsubscribe from Bomp, send an e-mail to majordomo@bolis.com with "unsubscribe bomp" in the message body.
