I saw The Action in London the week before Cavestomp and thought they were pretty good. Of course, they weren't quite as aggressive as one would have liked but that's to be expected I suppose. They did put on a good show and Reggie's voice was in fine form, especially when one considers the fact that he's had his fair share of problems in life in the past 30 years. Whilst I wouldn't rate them as high as The Remains reunion I would still recommend them to anyone that's a fan. You won't be disappointed. It has to be said that my opinion does differ from some other people who I might have expected to have been excited by them. However, I've learned over the years to expect the worst from reunions - so maybe I'm easily pleased when something turns out okay. - PJ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Feb 1999 04:02:06 PST From: "Speranza David" Subject: human instinct cd's great to see that the first three Human Instinct albums legitimately being re-issued on cd,always suspected the german releases were bootlegs,the ascension releases apparently have the original artwork too,anyone got them yet? are they actually out yet? they are apparently out early feb ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Feb 1999 10:50:26 +0000 From: Steve & Annette Subject: re: Yves Montand Dan wrote: << He was also an actor.

During the middle of the decade he ventured to Hollywood, like so many French cinema stars before and after him, and was all but ignored. Back in Europe he continued to make excellent cinema until his death. Mind you has anyone seen that excrutiating Godard film he made in '72 with Jane Fonda based around the events of May '68? (The student riots and civil unrest.) We studied it at college as part of the 'Mai '68' module and most of the class appeared bored rigid throughout the heavy political sloganeering. Finally, like many popular Francophone singers of the period he wasn't actually French (ie Jacques Brel, Nino Ferrer etc) but of Italian origin and raised in Marseille.

Have you seen his tv performance of the song? Amazing! Is >there anyone familiar with his LP: how does it sound? Well, even though the original post asked for mid-sixties songs... The album is a classic. It is a concept album (KEEP READING!) that follows the exploits of John as he strikes out with numerous women. It takes up the story line from the non-Lp flipside, "Going Steady" ("I love Sharon and Sharon loves me") and then he catches Sharon cheating on him with a fellow named Colin and we are off to the races! Some may be turned off by the occasional synthesizer, but even though Graham Fellowes doesn't have the greatest voice (a small pause to think of some of the other records that we listen to on this list), the songs are quite tuneful and the story is fun. The album also came with an insert that delineated the story through a "Snakes and Ladders" game. Small warning: The version of "Jilted John" on the album is different from the single. I prefer the 45 version. Is Fellowes still performing the Shuttleworths show? For those who haven't heard it, he plays the husband and wife on this 15-minute show and John Shuttleworth is a frustrated (and none too talented) songwriter. For that matter, what did Fellowes do in the interim? I remember asking at "Off the Record" many times if there was a second Jilted John and of course, there was not. In other news: The Persuaders, not the Persuasions performed the superior original version of "Thin Line...". The Persuasions were or are an acapella group with no relation to the Persuaders. One of the Persuasions passed away in the 90's.

The Pandoras were very cool in the beginning, but then abandoned their Charmkin roots. That's always left me feeling sour over that, especially since they seemed to do everything possible to alienate the scene that was their first audience of supporters. Paula also loses MAJOR points with me for firing the entire band ("getting rid of the fat girls" as she put it) after the first LP. I have to admit, tho', that I liked the 2nd line-up initially as well. The Brood have remained true to the teen spirit of things, and are tougher than just about ANY other band you'd care to throw out there, R&B delinquents aside of course.

Uh, you better knock that CHIP off your shoulder dearie. Why can you give your opinion, but anyone else who does is an "elitist snob"? And what does having a job that I love and are totally into do with all of this might I ask???? Did I mention the word "sell-out"? NO! Of course not. Whatever the Pandoras tried to do, they didn't sell out in my books - basically, because they didn't succeed! I think they just changed their tune, and sucked (in more ways than one) because of it. When I last saw the girls, it was pretty darned clear they were NOT happy with what they were doing. Paula was a haggared half-naked mess, trying to convince a bunch of girls that they should play her songs. It seemed like a struggle for her just to get the concert going, both personally and with the band. Sometimes doing what you love, just doesn't translate into doing it as a job. WHILE the Pandoras were still >playing garage, they were not only much better looking and sexier (and better >dressers) than The Brood, but their songs were better (even if they were all >ripped off!), I'd disagree. I don't particularly care what either band looks like, and I think the Brood write MUCH better songs! Incidentally, I have fun searching for where the Brood ripped their songs off of! Chris is the master of the rip-off! The Brood aren't supposed to be sexy - and gosh, I don't think you've seen the Brood live? They are so totally rockin' and carry the true spirit of rock 'n roll. Personally, I don't find wearing t-shirts with boob holes cut out for naked breasts to protrude thru as sexy. Hey, lookit that! I have an opinion too! This ain't only one sided baby.

Which lineup of each band? ;-) As to the rest of this... While I far prefer The Pandoras (obviously, I mean through Stop Pretending and that's about it), I agree that looks have nothing to do with whether a band can rock. Nobody will ever call The Original Sins pin-up boys, but those guys put out some of the best rock'n'roll of the late 80s/early 90s. There's nothing wrong with a band wanting to be successful. However, I think we can all agree that The Pandoras were *not* successful with their change in musical direction. Worse yet, it made various members miserable. (In '93, Kim Shattuck did not even want to *hear* the word "Pandoras." In her words, "That band SUCKED!" And Melanie Vammen had a pretty bad taste in her mouth from the experience, too.) I still wonder what Paula might have done next if she hadn't passed away in '91.

However, the recording details for each song are somewhat sketchy. Consensus is that the Jagger solo version features various session musicians, including Jack Nitzsche and Ry Cooder. Recording date/location may be July 1968/Los Angeles. As for the version on "Metamorphosis": some sources label it as featuring all of the Stones (except Brian Jones); however, I found a couple books which state that this version actually features Jagger, Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, and possibly Dave Mason & Rick Grech. Recording date/location may be 11-17-68/Olympic Studios, London. Hope this helps, Scott (swandwn@agora.rdrop.com) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 18:59:04 EST From: ARei160287@aol.com Subject: Pandoras vs Brood, and the chip on my shoulder! All I meant by the "elitist snob" crack was that it seems to me that most of the subscribers are so narrow-minded that they won't give anything past 1966 a chance. I wasn't fond of the Pandoras going hard rock, but I knew them very well, and happen to know that Paula thought that they could be more succesful if they went that route. As far as the "work" remark, I'm saying that to some people a band is a CAREER, and they spend all their time trying to make it succeed. And in my book playing music, ANY kind of music, would beat having a day job I hated. I just think that most people who criticize don't really understand the true motivation behind some bands decisions to try new things. And who said you couldn't have an opinion? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 16:41:21 -0800 (PST) From: Mark Andrew Owen Subject: Re: Memo From Turner Sorry I don't have the complete listing but I know that Ry Cooder is the guitarist on the single version. I think Charlie might be the drummer, but i'm not positive just who the rhythm section was. Somebody with the Stones Singles Collection, please help out! There is a version on _Metamorphosis_ that's clearly Keith and the boys, although given the time period _Performance_ was shot it's possible that there was no second guitarist. Remember Brian wasn't at all the BB sessions and they really didn't get Mick Taylor on board until early summer of 1969. Sorry I couldn't be more definitive, Mark ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V99 #60 ************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
