Does anybody know if this track is available on an album or somekind of compilation?" Auger was definitely a genius behind a Hammond organ. He plays with Eric Burdon on occasion, from what I understand. The albums "Open" and "Definitely What" have been reissued and are widely available on CD. Neither has "Save Me" though. That song did appear on two best of albums, "Best of Brian Auger" and "Best of Julie Driscoll". While it is a great version, it's best to not get hung up on finding it. There's a wealth of great Auger/Driscoll/Trinity material out there in various places. "Save Me" was originally released on 45 only, on Marmalade. Here's a list of Auger/Driscoll songs to watch out for: Save Me (Aretha) Tiger George Bruno Money (about Zoot Money) In and Out (sounds like Wes Montgomery!) Black Cat Indian Rope Man (Richie Havens) Red Beans & Rice (Booker T) Back At the Chicken Shack (Jimmy Smith) A Kind of Love In Kiko By the time "Street Noise" was released, they were going well into the hippie realm. "Indian Rope Man" is a needle in a haystack from that album. Excellent version. Auger's jazz roots came back to him in the form of jazz fusion soon after with Brian Auger's Oblivian Express. Mostly dreck there, with an occasional fun tune, like their version of Roberta Flack's hit "Compared To What". In the vein of "Save Me", also try to hunt down Martha Velez's version of "Tell Mama" from her '69 LP "Friends & Angels". She was from NY (The Bronx or Brooklyn) but found herself in the UK. Brian Auger, Keef Hartley, Eric Clapton, Christine McVie, Mitch Mitchell, Jim Capaldi and Jack Bruce are on the album. Pretty impressive, huh?

Their DIY debut LP shows them equally adept at pounding out fierce rockers and lovingly constructing softer, more melodic tracks, with occasionally eccentric production touches, linking both in the anthemic "Down on the Boulevard." As good as the Raspberries' Starting Over but more urgent, and less studiedly nostalgic or obviously derivative. Produced by Earle Mankey, Go! shows how the band moved with the times, modifying British modern pop notions to suit themselves. Not quite as humor-conscious (for better and worse) as XTC, the Pop employs a strangely detached intensity that gives a fillip to each track. There isn't any one brilliant number (although "Under the Microscope" comes close), yet Go! is entertaining straight through. Two years later, without the guitar and arranging talents of Tim McGovern (who had joined the pre-stardom Motels) or the support of a major label, the remaining foursome sound somewhat chastened for not having played it safer--and they do. The six-song Hearts and Knives presents a blander version of their former selves: pleasant, lightweight originals and a lame Stones cover that's limply out of character. Towards the end of the '80s, singer/guitarist Roger Prescott surfaced in a band called Train Wreck Ghosts, which he formed with ex-Plimsouls guitarist Eddie Munoz following the latter's brief stint in the dB's. He and Munoz then hired on to the Walking Wounded, and appeared on one of that group's records before continuing their Texas-based band. The Pop's other frontman, David Swanson, reappeared in 1990 with a dull album of awkwardly sung heartland rock.

This collection of ultra-rare footage will showcase a unique collection of filmed musical performances from a variety of offbeat jazz, pop, and rock artists from around the globe. The films come from a variety of sources, including very early TV shows, film jukeboxes from the 1940s ("Soundies") and 1960s ("Scopitones"), and select feature film clips. This long awaited follow-up to the Secret Cinema's EXOTICA MUSIC FILMS program of a year and a half ago features 100% new programming - -- little of which is likely to have been seen before by anybody attending! Doors open at 8:30 pm. The screening begins at 9:00 pm. Admission is $8.00. As with all Secret Cinema presentations, all of the films will be projected from archival 16mm film prints onto a giant movie screen (not video). Just some of the performers shown on the big screen will include: Astrud Gilberto, Desi Arnaz, Sylvie Vartan, Trini Lopez, Johnny Hallyday and Carmen Miranda. Adding extra spice to this celluloid smorgasboard is a selection of equally arcane short subjects, without musicians but plenty of exoticism: Technicolor travelogues of Caribbean isles, coming attraction "trailers" for Maria Montez movies, a 1920s silent film on "Ceylon Devil Dancers and Buddas," and a look at tiki carving and other customs of the South Seas. Plus, scenes from a never-shown-in-the-U.S. French TV special, WORLD MUSIC ET SETECT, featuring organ jazz/pop-rock instro combo André Brasseur et son Orchestre, Peter Max-like animation and pop-art special effects. Plus, a sampling of DISK JOCKEY TV TOONS. These lost artifacts from early 50s broadcasting were marketed to local television stations for use as filler programming during Hit Parade-type shows. The low-budget, bizarre visualizations are essentially rock videos with no soundtracks, and were made to be shown with suggested popular records. And if all this weren't enough, there will be a special talk about the history of film jukeboxes by Secret Cinema curator Jay Schwartz, illustrated with color slides of rare photos and original advertising materials. The Secret Cinema, begun in 1992, is a Philadelphia-based floating repertory film series that shows unusual and lost film fare of all types at various locations. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 15:03:49 PST From: "C.

More canadian re-issues: a series of LPs or CDs called PEOPLE OF TYME.... 2 Quebec Comp LPs, untitled as yet....A Girls in the garage, with canadian and french singers....... Denis Hmmmmm! Why should Italians re-issue Quebec bands? Maybe I'll do some Caterina Caselli cds....Buona sera!

These tricks work as long as you don't mind the dirty ol' buggers sneaking a peek.. and lets face it, as long as you keep your clothes on, they're not really going to see all that much...a flash of knickers? Big deal, if it saves me a few bucks! HA HA!! They don't have a chance against the likes of us!!! Of course, if modesty won't allow you to carry on like this (Hm, "Carry on.." films probably have a lot to do with my way of thinking about this matter, come to think of it!) you can try the tight sweater or tee shirt thing, or just batting yer lashes and sweet talking a bit can do the trick too! No comment from you, thank you J'son! I know what you're thinking before you even read this!!!

Yep, "Boss" shows up here. The CDs of these are pricey but findable, I've been going for the vinyl because it's hard to say "no" to gatefolded lps, although they're harder to find.
