I'm sure you can find original Sonics LP around Seattle for a relatively smaller price as well... But in the worldwide collectable market Les Lutins is worth between 60$ and 100$ (US)....Besides I'd be very surprised that a store would sell a MINT copy of les Lutins, even in Montreal, for 15$... Considering that most stores here don't carry vinyl anymore, and the ones that do ARE very aware of the value of most vinyl recordings....

I've heard some great things about them. Anyone have an opinion? Baskerville Rob >> Yeah some of the members use to be in UCP. Singer & guitarist most importantly. The only songs that even come close to the UCP sounds are maybe Galaxy Gramaphone (from 1st EP) while the rest of the material is much more psychadehlic sounding with an elaborate production. But the great guitar work, found on the UCP stuff is still there. If you know the song "Golden Age" by UCP, think of that done with a psychadehlic delivery and you'll come close to what they sound like. While it's definately a split on who digs them and who doesn't, I love them. Some bompers dig them, and some don't. I can't place the seperation, I've found some psych-heads that hate them and some garage nuts that dig them. To me (thinking of their 1st double lp, which is an array of different types of songs) they bring sounds of "Love", "Q-65", "Doors", late 60's "Rolling Stones"and Syd Barret "Pink Floyd" into their music. If it's a bargain in London, it's worth checking out, but I wouldn't spend a ton of money especially if you don't like it at all. The best thing I feel to look out for is the " Avenging Hill Street Blues" single which is non-lp and the b-side to "Black Star". It is a driving "SF Sorrow Style" winner and one of the best tracks I've heard all last year. Here's a website that should still work. There are tons to hear soundbytes of their stuff. Check out Firmanent Vacation. It amazes me how they turned the beginning riff of "Gimme Shelter" into a complete song.

So I'm reading this piece by Nick Kent about the New York Dolls in his collection The Dark Stuff. The piece is from '74 and Kent talks to Marty Thau, who is the Dolls' manager at the time. Thau was a partner in Cameo-Parkway and Kent asks him about Question Mark. Thau says "The reason he wore those shades all the time is because he was cross-eyed." Can anyone confirm/deny this?

I never knew that! Anyway, while we're on the subject of Australian surf (okay, I know we're not, but I NEED to find an answer to this question, it's been driving me crazy for months!) I was just wondering if anyone could enlighten me on this subject... One of the guitarists in the Atlantics was Theo Penglis, and all I've been able to find out about him was that he moved to the States when he was done with the band... this is a real long shot, but I have a weird feeling that he could be the Australian actor that played Tony Di Mera on Days of Our Lives in the mid to late eighties, although by this stage he had changed the spelling of his name to Thao (traditional spelling perhaps?), he could have even been spelling his name with 2 a's, I can't really remember... am I on the right track, or am I driving myself insane for no reason? I don't know, I could be completely wrong about the whole thing, but if anyone can verify it I might actually get one night's sleep without dreaming about Days of our Lives and tsunamis!!!
