I believe Greil Marcus's book "Mystery Train" has a chapter on Sly. joe wrote: > have you heard that songs for drella crap? awful! Well I hope you don't mind if I disagree with you - I think that album (which he recorded with John Cale) is stronger than most of Reed's solo stuff. It was a tribute to Andy Warhol released in 1990 and it featured some very good songs, especially those sung by Cale (Style It Takes, Trouble With Classicists, etc.). If you're interested in low power radio, check out www.live365.com, you can set up your own virtual radio station there and reach the entire world. I dunno if any Bomp-style music is there, but I've listened to a show on there called "Jangle Radio" a number of times and it's chock full of really excellent power pop. Be seeing you, Bill np: Linus of Hollywood (a *great* pop album) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2000 19:03:28 PST From: "orange skies" Subject: [none] well, if you would smoke pot while listenting to metal machine you would think it was worth $45 (probably even more). Sure it sounds like a $3 record when you are sober and bland. but try getting stoned to it and you will see the difference, I assure you. gem ________________ (some dude wrote)- I mean, I was able to sell a copy of Metal Machine Music that I had picked up for $3 canadian to someone for $45 can, what kind of supposedly intelligent music fan would fork out that coin for 4 sides (64 minutes) of feedback scrawl? I know who, I sold it to them but.. ______________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2000 22:12:12 -0500 From: Don Smith Subject: Promo VS. Stock Copy of 45's huh. while I don't doubt it, this is totally opposite my experience. I think it may be because I am only buying or selling "hit" singles (I can't spend the $50+ prices for rare singles) and there are more stock copies of songs that sold. Don - -------------------- From: PETEP@aol.com Subject: Promo VS. Stock Copy of 45's Stock copies of a 45 usually are worth more than promo copies. Sometimes, stock is worth much more. I know that I personally like stock copies because they usually have the nicer color labels vs. the plain white labels of many promo copies. I have traded NM stock copies of a record for the same NM record (promo) copy, plus I received a good record kicked in to sweeten the deal. That tells you something. Pete ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2000 22:39:42 -0500 From: "Mike Markesich" Subject: Promo Vs. Stock Copies... I think the Bomp list should discuss stuff like this (sorry Laraunt): >>Maybe not, but when I got that record, I got it at a show and the guy selling it also had a stock copy. But the promo and the stock were both the same price, so I got the promo. Also, I don't know why, but I've always been fascinated by promo copies ever since I started collecting records when I was a kid. The promo's probably worth a little more, but more importantly, I like how loud the 45's mixed. It explodes when you play it, just like all good 45s should, in my humble opinion.<< When it comes to non-hit (i.e., non-selling) garage 45's, the Stock (color label) copies are much harder to find than white label (promo) copies. I've been obtaining (see, I 'collect' them, but collecting to me is like a word for items like stamps, where you just "look" at them, and place tem in a binder or booklet, and gaze at 'em. I 'obtain' 45's because I PLAY them; they are as vital as the air I breathe) 45's for over 20 years now. The black label stock copies of Richard & Young Lions 45's are much harder to come by than the promos. "Open Up Your Door" was a huge regional hit that only made #99 on Billboard (Mr. Bereta can correct me if I'm wrong) and that one shows up as a stock often. The 2nd, "Nasty" is kinda hard, and the 3rd, "You Can Make It" is real tuff. The fact that they came out on Philips, a label that pressed their 45's on the shitty polystyrene plastic means the copies that surface often have groove distortion and sound like shit. And remember, if it weren't for us "Record Collectors" like Mr. Shaw and the crew, you guys wouldn't be able to get the music you love and crave. Lots of collector guys ARE real creeps; but there are several who know what it's all about. Don't bite the hand that feeds you...

It's definitely refreshing to see a group of (very) young musicians playing a style of music that most people have either disregarded as unimportant, relegated to movie soundtracks or background music, or forgotten about entirely. Who knows... maybe they'll help to resurrect a sound that at one time was fairly common in the Midwest, despite its landlocked geography.
