I saw a BMG cd comp of Hong Kong 60's and 70's pop. Judging by the 45 covers pictured, band names and song titles, some of it looked pretty cool, garagey in that GS kinda way and even included some garage cover staples. The only band name that I recall off the top of my head was Teddy and The Playboys (I think). In anycase, all the artists were Chinese. I'm assuming that most of the good beat stuff out of Hong Kong at that time, like stuff on Diggin For Gold and Project Blue were ex-pats, but maybe there are a few gems on there. Anyone got any clues? - -Squeaky ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 01:59:02 -0800 From: Boondocker Subject: Blue Cats/ Early Days album on spinner.com Hi there! I've been listening to spinner.com's rockabilly channel, and i've heard a few awesome tracks from a band called (the) Blue Cats... I tried to look up this band both on the web and in the Tower records computer, but I've had no luck. It's as if they don't exist :-( If anybody on bomp has heard of them , could you please share it with the rest of us? Thanks, Boondocker PS. One of their tunes on spinner.com is called _Sweet Caroline_, another is what sounds like a one-of-a-kind cover of _Blue Moon_ Hope you can check'em out as well... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 01:19:12 -0500 From: "Lenny Smith" Subject: Re: Pretty Things On CNN/The Conquerors on Public Radio Ari wrote, re: The Pretty Things: >I want a vid copy-Anyone tape it? I have loads of stuff for trade! That goes for me as well, on both counts! And I'd love to trade for audio of The Conquerors on the radio, as well...

I remember a great melodic garage tune on the lp.
