BTW has anybody heard their >album? Wondering if I should invest my canadian yens in some commonwealth gems >like the Pleazers. ciao! It's a pretty decent LP, mostly covers but quite rockin'. I think (not certain) that there was recently a reissue of the Pleazers album on CD, but I haven't been able to track one down. Raven put out a compilation of their tracks in the 80s, although it might be difficult to find this now. Several of their best tracks (along with other unbelievable NZ stuff) are on Wild Things which should still be available (vinyl or CD). Does anyone have the new Chants R&B album? Does it differ much from the Stage Door Witchdoctors release from a couple o' years back? Regarding Thane Russal - his version of 'Security' was a big hit in Australia and copies of the 45 (on CBS) turn up quite often. I remember hearing the song on the radio heaps during the late '70s. Apparently Thane Russal was the Rolling Stones' coffee boy when they were recording, and I've heard that it may actually BE the Stones backing him on Security. Anyone confirm or deny?

Hova got his hands on that record and played it on WFMU today. It sounded like Badfinger with really bad '70s production (close-miked drums, cheesey effects). No great loss to the music world if it's not available on CD. The best thing about hearing it was remembering this thread. Guess it wasn't a coincidence.

I believe the first LP was recorded in a studio at Carnegie Hall. Tonight, Melissa and I were eating in a Japanese restaurant. The music was the usual Japanese pop until we heard some familiar chords. The tape had a Japanese band covering "The KKK took my baby away"! Unfortunately, we never did find out who the band was.

WATCH THE BIRDIE is a mid-60s adult film which sounds like its right out of the Irving Klaw bondage school of film making. If you want to see a synopsis, check out my eBay listings later tonight when it’ll be on there. The most intriguing thing about the flick was that according to the press book, it includes the song, "The Bird Is The Word," by ROCKY ROBERTS AND THE AIRDALES! Its was released sometime in the mid-60s by American Film Distributing Corp. I assume its the same tune done by The Rivingtons, the booklet gives song credits to Doug Fowlkes and Rocky Roberts. Is this version on any collections anyone might know of. I’m gonna see if I can find a copy of the movie through my sources and check it out. THE YOUNG ANIMALS, released in 1968 by American International Pictures, is the other one. And is the story of race relations in a small border town. Two bands are featured in the film, "THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION," who perform "Love Has Got Me Down," and "THE ORPHAN EGG," who perform "In Big Letters." The latter band were the winners of a Battle Of The Bands sponsored by the Vox Division of the Thomas Organ Company according to the pressbook notes and a picture of them appears on the back cover. I have scanned a copy of it and it can bee seen at the following URL: http://www2.netcom.com/~sheltone/mpbyounganimals999jpeg.jpg Any idea if either of these bands released anything on vinyl or if there’s more info on them somewhere? Since AIP was California based, I assume, and I could be wrong, that both bands are from the Sunshine state.

The Bands in it are out of sight, especially the pool scene. I thought the Orphan Egg song was called "Something is There". But I am not totally sure. Anyway I have seen a double album of garage type stuff and it had the Orphan Egg song "Something is There" on it, the cover was black from memory with the bands listed on the back in silver or white. James says he had this record and that its called "Turds on a bum ride". But neither of us have been able to establish if we are talking about the same record. I do curse myself for not buying the one I saw many years ago it was only $30 Australian!. Does anyone know more?.
