That's what I heard on the radio, but they also said he ran in '79 but I swear it was much, much later ('89?). Yes, apparently he has stated he is running for President of the U.S.A. and his running mate is the death-row inmate who is on death row for allegedly killing a police officer. The guy's first name is Mumia, I can't remember his last name. (Al-Jafal or something. . . ) Jello's obviously pulling a Perot; he KNOWS he'd never win, but is just going to run to stir things up and maybe take some votes away from someone else. - --A __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2000 07:21:27 -0800 (PST) From: Andies Candies Subject: Re: Pussy Galore? - --- Romain peutat wrote: > Anyone ever heard 20 Miles the Juda Bauer (JSPBX) No, but Spencer once bitch-slapped Juda outside of the Howling Wolf in New Orleans . . . . remember, Barry?

Man were these guys great! Lo-fi blues punk loaded with snot and bile. I had the pleasure of seeing them four or five times and even at their worse (they nearly came to blows on stage and screamed at each other between songs), they were amazing. Screw The Blues Explosion and that Royal Trux crap, Pussy Galore Now! You can also get a CD sampler of their greatest stuff called "Corpse Love" that has bits from everything they recorded, including their song-by-song cover of "Exile". And Nipper, I would love to get a hold of a copy of "Exile". I only had a cassette version and it bit the dust long ago. Contact me off list and maybe we can work out a trade.

The most garage a la BFTG record of theirs and probably my favorite is "Groovy Hate Fuck" whcih was reissued on a cd by Caroline with way more tracks. That one is like 60's garage played in a Cramps/Gories way sans bass but even more lo fi and out of tune. There are some great songs on there that are actually catchy in their own way like "You Look Like A Jew", "Asshole" and "Cunt Tease". I'll see if I can get you a tape of this stuff but you might have to wait a while. After that record they got more noise damaged and sometimes kinda arty but in a da da kinda way. There is a great track "My Sweet Little Hi-Fi" on their "Sugarshit Sharp" 12". "Right Now" is good too but perhaps a little more no wave and twisted than you're used to. Yeah, "Demention Of Sound" is the best freakbeat comp I've heard as far as songs and sequence, etc. It's just a shame it's got sub par sound quality (yes too compressed). Still listenable and I had to get it even though the reissue is a bit expensive now as well. I really dig the "Echoes In The Wilderness/Journey Through the Sugar Cube" comps but haven't heard "Purple Pill Eaters" yet. Do you think it's the best of this trilogy Lee? - -Squeaky ______________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2000 11:33:44 EST From: "Hugh Mendoza" Subject: Re: Pussy Galore? >PS does anyone want to get rid of the 2LP version of Pussy Galore's Exile >On Main Street?

There were two volumes of R'n'B (I have the second on CD and the first on vinyl), one of Beat, a volume dedicated to obscure Immediate releases and a couple of accompanying sets of UK Soul and Pop. After Christmas I finally purchased the recent "Freakbeat Freakout" CD, also on Sequel, which duplicates several tracks from the above and, for my money at least, confuses the Freakbeat tag by including poppier items alongside r'n'b pounders (ie the Primitives). All good stuff nonetheless. With regards to the Decal releases, the Beat R'n'B and Freakbeat volumes are well worth investing your money in. Sound quality is taken direct from the masters and the packaging is very good. Fancy a little bootleg action, then look no further than "Maximum R'n'B" which features the Wheels, Birds, David John et al with, once again, excellent sound and the bass mastered full-on. I believe the same people also put out a "Freakbeat" album but I have not heard that one yet. Anyone out there own it?

Most of this record was comped elsewhere eventually, but this is quite a collection and I have yet to find a copy, daggone it. Even with the full knowledge of who's list this is, I will still say I like "Pebbles, Vol. 6" on vinyl. The Fairies, David John and the Mood, Steve Aldo and the ringers Bill and Will, this was the first comp of the R&B from Britain that I had gotten, but it still holds up rather well. More recently, English Freakbeat (Vol. 3?) has some great sides, "Walking Walking Walking" by the Favourite Sons, and pre-Kinks Ravens material, this is a good one and cheap too.

Whatever, all non-bass no-fi/noisey R&B based garage bands kinda have to be judged against PG, as up to '86 no one else was pushing such bullshit to such an extreme, tho' as time has passed the template has become well worn, ie. the (lame) Retards (or is it the Reatards however you spell the name, they're on Goner) and the Blacks...but then I don't waste money on those records and don't really care... Right, so as I understand the story...um, the legend, PG recorded Exile in response to Sonic Youth's want to record the entire Beatle's White Album, of which, to my knowledge, they never recorded one note from. While, obviously, PG went ahead and recorded Exile, in its entirety, as it was interpreted/mutated by Mister Neil Haggerty on the spot, in sequense, and then shown to the band to be recorded. Thats all, turns out its really nothing anyone, save for those who collect or luv the band, really needs, its basiclly an obnoxious practice tape thats kinda funny... Oh, and I don't get the BFTG connection either...but fuck it, it is there (explicitly) with the Cheater Slicks/Bantam Rooster/Gories! None of whom are too far removed from PG! Hell, I always played PG as sounding like the Rolling Stones! Also, not all the PG records are availible as Historica de la Musica remains (gratefully?) un-reissued. Hey, why didn't anyone mention the Gibson Brothers/'68 Comeback influence on Spencer post PG...he toured, recorded with them, and of that was born yer JSBX, pre-Techno remix incarnation...please anyone near the band ask them to split up now, and I'll work on Kalvin...cool?
