Then, rather out of character, they cut a heavy rock version of Eleanor Rigby, that, to these ears, is still a high point in Australian music. This song was a huge hit here and (someone correct me if I am wrong) got quite high in the English charts. I reckon this is the song you may have seen on TV from the old GTK program. Apart from Rick Springfield , Darryl Cotton - the singer had a successful solo career, Beeb Birtles,the bass player, ended up in Little River Band and made a fortune boring the pants of us, and the drummer played with the Ferrets (oh well!) All Adelaide boys I believe. I do remember playing with a group in the mid 80s - 60s psych punk with Prisoners overtones that was bashing away one night at the Century Hotel to the total disinterest of the beer swilling heavy metal audience (despite the fact we had a singer with the shortest skirt and the longest legs in the business). Then we played Eleanor Rigby and the crowd rushed to the stage and went right off (at least that's how I remember it). After that we could do no wrong. Sorry about rambling. Ah memories......

Why is it so hard to find their records??? - PJ > Because they are on a major label and the major label company rely on Japanese domestic market. "Michelle" as people call them, is very very popular. They are twenty times as big as even Guitar Wolf. Their popularity is just like Green Day or Offspiring in the States, and they got that level of commecal success over here. A few months back when Gear Blues was released, in a bookstore I saw four or five commercial music magazines (ones like Rolling Stone or NME) which puts them on the top cover. There are lots of promotion going on. And you can get their CDs at any local CD shops which never carries Guitar Wolf or Teengenerate. Michelle is popular to young teenage girls (I heard most of live audiences are women) and when Mr. Chiba (guitarist) recommends the Headcoats album, Michelle's fans buy them. It is rumored that Eddie & Hot Rods album got reissued here because Mr. Chiba recommended it in his interview or radio or something. I'm sure you already know Guitar Wolf, 5.6.7.8's, Cedricks, Mad 3 or many of other underground bands in Japan release records from overseas labels. One of the reasons is that they never sell well in the capital of Karaoke. Maybe they sell two or three thousand, but Michelle sells some hundred thousand CDs and the company is looking for a million. So the situation between Michelle and other rocknroll bands is totally different. The major label is focused on domestic market so they really don't care about a few thousand CDs that can be sold overseas. That's why you can't get "Gear Blues" overseas.

Most just had the names of the hit singles plastered all over the cover. You'd see an album that listed: * Mony, Mony * Hang on Sloopy * Kentucky Woman * Lady Madonna * Kicks * Daydream Believer, * etc. No names of bands, of course. I also when I was very young (1966 or so) bought a box of 12 "hit" singles at Woolworth's Dept. Store for, what 99 cents or $1.29 (back when one 45 rpm single disk was 59 cents or so. You could only see the top and bottom record labels. They were both hit singles from a few months back. When I opened the box at home, most of the other singles were versions of hit songs by people I'd never heard of before. Just like these albums. I think I stil have a few of these. I'll have to see who the performers are and what label they were on. Likely all scratched to hell by now. We did play them a lot. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 09:19:46 -0500 From: laura.taylor@us.pwcglobal.com Subject: Why stop now? Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 10:14:44 EST From: Rmerchandz@aol.com Subject: Current Hits - 60's covered by Nashville whacks Jane Fondle will remember the days when I used to buy the "Current Hits" records from the sixties. These featured a Nashville band recording copycat versions of the hits of Louis Armstrong, Dave Clark 5, Beatles, Jan & Dean, Lulu, and more. Some are slightly off and many are dreadful. I like the fact that 50 year old session dudes are trying to hit the high notes in "A Hard Days Night." They seem relieved when it was all over. "Give me my Be-Bop records and an Ovaltine!" Baskerville Rob >Wha? You __don't__ buy those anymore?! Surely, you haven't lost your love for those, they're __great__ in that MSR/incrediblystrange kinda way!

You get some *really* imaginative drum fills and wah-wah, I'll tell ya'!

I've got an old album but The Liverpools called Beatlemania in the USA! that I found for a buck at Reckless in Chicago recently. It's obviously a cash-in record--and a very awful one at that--with lame covers of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "I Saw Her Standing There," etc. on it with some originals (several penned by "Mann-Straigis"). The label was Wyncote. I wonder if this could be the Lou Reed band! I'll listen closer and get back to everyone about it. Joe PS--My fave thing about this record? Some kid (the previous owner, I suspect) scrawled "Do Not Use" on the front cover in ink.

Montreal hockey team Les Canadiens used to be a direct reference to that since at it's early period it was strictly composed of french players. These days "canadien" is only the french term for a resident of Canada. French here, depending on their national ties will call themselves "Canadien-Français" or "Québecois" . But enough with this shit! This ain't Option Magazine or Les Inrockuptibles. This is the Bomp list Baby!!!! So...Regarding strange athlete albums. Two come to mind. Both are ex Montreal Canadiens players. First off,superstar the "The Flower" Guy Lafleur put out a record of Hockey Tips with a disco background. He narrates tips while you hear these bimbos singing in the background. I think the original had a great poster inside! I still remember the day my mom told me she had danced with him in some discotheque way back in the seventies! Secondly, some now obscure player named Gilbert Delorme put out a record called "En forme avec Gilbert Delorme" You guessed right! It's a fitness record with our man Gilbert stretching and sweating for our pleasure on vinyl!!! Well, that's all for this time...I think now being 11:30 am I should go have my first coffee of the day before I go further into trivial toughts.

That's pretty good, I'll have to pull it out of the stacks next time.

Since we were > talkin' hawkey, I have a lovably amateur 45 titled "Gordie Howe" by Big > Bob and the Dollars. Yeah! I have that 45, it is a semi-rockabilly record. Since you've opened this new can of worms, I will pre-empt any other people by listing the ultimate such disc: The Legend of Bo Bo Brazil (artist - I forget) - Bo Bo was a Michigan wrestling legend, whose "Ko-Ko Butt" was a famous hold... the chorus of the song is "Ko-Ko Butt, Ko-Ko Butt, Ko-Ko Butt...- What Can I tell ya, baby!" (the latter was a catch-phrase of his). The coolest aspect of this righteous disc is a b/w photo of Bo Bo's snarling face on the label!

By the way, when I E-mailed "Murder by Guitar" mailorder abou this, the guy there included this in his message: "I am in the process of setting up a Punk/Garage/Psyche/Indie/Metal mail order catalogue, do you or you're friends have any other hard-to-find CDs/vinyl wants? If so let me know OK?" That sounds pretty nice. I'll tell more about it later, when I get more information.

I've put the info in my database. I wonder, however, if you can handle this. The band appeared on the TAMI Show in '64 and performed "Hey Little Bird", which was recorded on film. According to hearsay this live version is much wilder and punkier than the studio cut. Has anyone seen the film and can confirm this? Also, has anyone seen that mythical version on a piece of holed plastic?

Sample lyrics (off the top of my head - I have the single at home): Bombo, Bombo Bombo Rivera What other guys get one of Bombo, he gets a pair-a It takes two to tango and two to mambo But you can do it all with just one Bombo Bombo Rivera will carry us to victory. - -Indy Rutks (rutks002@tc.umn.edu) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 16:23:19 -0500 (EST) From: DEACON ALLEY Subject: Re: barbarians Sure have seen the "TAMI Show"--and yes, it does sound raunchier, though that may be due to the additional crowd noise (the TAMI audience is perhaps the most appreciative, rowdy bunch of teens ever captured on film).

Actually, all rock and roll versions of this song are based on the 1961 hit version by Bobb B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans, one of Phil Spector's protegee groups. It was pretty popular among British groups. And I know the Rattles (Germany's Beatles imitators in the '60s) did a version of it. >> Unless Bobb B. Sox featured some well placed guitar feedback and a kick ass, tightly sandwiched guitar solo, I don';t think the Fellows were too influanced by that version....... waiting for the Power Mowers to cut it....Moparlary ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V99 #29 ************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
