The entire Os Mutantes catalog has been seeing the light of day on CD on Brazilian Polydor, and a few copies of the CDs have been trickling into the US, creating a bit of a frenzy among fans of South American music and great sixties music alike. Aquarius records (where I bought mine) in San Francisco and Other Music in New York were two of the stores that carried them (I have no idea if either store has them in stock at the moment). I have the CD reissues of the first three (released in '68, '69, '70) LPs, and think all three are great and extremely worthwhile, though I would suggest that the first one is the best starting point (especially if that is the cut you heard and liked). The songs are catchy as well as varied (all their material is sung in Portuguese), with liberal doses of fuzz cropping up more so on the first LP than the later ones. Their music tends to combine oddly placed familiar riffs ("Satisfaction" and "Wooly Bully" rear their heads) with more abstract compositional twists and turns that, on the whole, just sounds incredibly fresh to a jaded ear. Creative pop music at its best. Apparently they are/were quite popular in their Native country. > The other was a snotty punk song (in contrast to the Mutantes > party-type tune) called Secret Police by the Belfast Gypsies.

Them Belfast Gypsies emerged from the ashes of Them (has anyone ever thoroughly chronicled all the incarations of the various splinters and fragments of the "Them" related groups? What a complicated discography), and recorded with Kim Fowley, resulting in the song you mentioned (which was released on 45 in the US on Loma with "Gloria's Dream" as the flip), which was also included on their Swedish only LP from '67 (?). This LP was reissued in the late 70s by Sonet (with tinted/altered sleeve artwork), and again in the late 80s, with the original unaltered LP cover art. There was also a CD issue, but I don't know if it is still in print. A great LP, and worth picking up. By the way, "Secret Police" is currently available on a collection of Kim Fowley solo work/productions, 'Outlaw Superman' on Dionysus Records.

Raunchy rock'n'roll is about the best description I can think of. Not really garage, not really punk, but definitely load, fast, rock'n'roll.

Glad I don't have to >decide on that! > That's OS MUTANTES and they are quite celebrated amongst in the know musicians since Kurt Cobain "discovered them" on a trip to Brazil, and he made plans to record with them and bring them to the States and other stuff. Thru him they became friends with Fugazi and other bands. Funny, to me their music (psych/garage) is nothing like the headbanging crap of those US bands. Anyway some of their albums have been reissued in Brazil but I haven't seem them listed anywhere for sale. the Belfast Gypsies were supposedly Them after Van Morrison left; they had an album released only in Sweden, and EP, and a couple of singles, all recorded under the ausipices of Kim Fowley, who also does vocals on "Secret Police". The album (on Sonet) has never been out of print. "Secret Police" may be heard on a (highly recommended) compilation of Kim's early/weird productions, called OUTLAW SUPERMAN and released a few weeks ago by Dionysus. It's got 32 tracks all genius.

Nope. Forbes sez Bowie's worth $900 million(!) and McCartney is "only" worth 750 million or so. I guess Tin Machine sold more records than I thought they did.
