I didn't because I figured someone would. The record is torture enough, but here is some real fun. FACT: Mrs. Elva (!) Miller used to put ice in her mouth to aid her whistling. Listen to the verse that she whistles. At the end of her...solo, you can hear her take the ice out of her mouth and start singing again... "m-MMmmm-hmmmm the traffic in the city..." At the end of the song, there is another...solo and she muffles her words putting ice back in her mouth. Anyone heard Milton Berle's version of Yellow Submarine?

He did a quite a bit of work for the label, including a great instrumental version of "Louie, Louie", which was marketed as an R&B record, ala Ramsey Lewis. I believe that the band that backed him on "You Turn Me On" was Bluesville (according to the Northwest Rock comp I don't have anymore!). Was this also Somebody's Chyldren?

I know many of you guys dig the current Japanese bands so I'm not gonna repeat it again, but the new band FIRESTARTER by ex-Teengenerate members really kicks ass. About the record store, you can go to the area called Nishi-Shinjuku (west Shinjuku) and there are many punk / indie stores. The first place you should go is the store called "Barn Homes" which owner also runs the 1+2 label. New Guitar Wolf album called "Jet Generation" is gonna be out soon!

Was this >also Somebody's Chyldren? > >Brian Phillips > Bluesville was his backing band on "You Turn Me On" and his previous record, "This Sporting Life." I don't know anything about Somebody's Chyldren. In the 70s Ian Whitcomb wrote a very entertaining history of pop music called After the Ball. It started with the late 19th century and ended with a chapter on Ian's brief experience as a rock star in 1965. One exchange has remained burned into my memory. He was playing a show with the Byrds and was a bit offended by their tongue-in-cheek version of "We'll Meet Again." He tried to explain to one of the Byrds that that song had meant a lot to people in England during the bleak days of WWII. This Byrd (I don't think he was named in the book, but I picture McGuinn) said, "Well, I'm none the wiser." Ian replied, "No, but you're better informed." Or something like that.

Well, I do think that "You've lost that loving feeling" is the very first 'power ballad'.

Anyway, I was at a pizza place earlier today (in Fuckhead for those of you familiar with Atlanta), and a guy told me I look like Mr. Spector!! That's a new one; never been told I look like him. I responded, "I think I'm a little taller." End of conversation!

I also have (and trade for) old country, blues, and even some 70's stuff (NY Dolls, Stooges) and 80's to 90's garage. Might also trade for records and CD's Ari ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Jan 1999 17:17:52 -0800 From: "Joseph Beretta" Subject: Re: Weird Covers >Frank Sinatra does a pretty odd cover of "Downtown" himself-- >I just listened to it about an hour ago.

The Seeds did "Can't seem to make you mine" on May 20,1967. However clips of American Bandstand are almost impossible to get because Dick Clark is such a mafioso-rich guy now, he can actually scare video dealers into submission: no one dares to distribute or bootleg his material!! The Seeds appeared on a 1967 sitcom called The Mothers-in-Law, singing "Pushing too hard", and acting up a storm as a local garage band. That show is available thru most video dealers...
