I did this to some of my rarest 45s. From now on I'm gonna tape styrene records! >> Hi! When taping singles for comps, the guy that cuts all the Dionysus vinyl, Len Horowitz (HRS Records), would whip out several different styli. He told me that even if you have hi-end gear, you could rip to shreds a styrene record with a modern elliptical stylus. For styrene he recommended a conical (round instead of oblong) stylus. I was able to find a place that sells Sure carts with conical stylus (and the same cartridge will take a special wider stylus for 78s). Just pop the cartridge in a spare headshell and whoopee, record spinning fun (or as my wife likes to call it, "butt crack guy time"). If any of you would like to find out where to get these carts, email me offlist at lee@dionysusrecords.com and I'll get the information for you. Kudos to whom mentioned finding both mono and stereo versions of albums, especially records from '67-'68. I'm going to get into some mainstream stuff here so maybe I'll get chastised by the hard-core garage fans; "The Who Sells Out" is a prime example of viewing a record from two different perspectives. Dunno how many of you like early Hendrix, but the monos of "Are You Experienced" and "Axis..." are a lot of fun, as is the mono of Blue Cheer "Vincebus Eruptum" and Jefferson Airplane "Surrealistic Pillow." The Beatles white album is also a blast in mono especially if you've only heard the stereo version. It seems that Europe went about a year longer with the mono format than the states did. Until someone invented a little box that made it possible to just "hit the mono switch" (if you single channel something that's in stereo, everything in the center will jump 6 dB, as well, sometimes the phasing is off and hitting the mono switch on records like The Blues Magoos "Psychedelic Lollipop" will result in instruments and vocals that disappear into thin air), there had to be two separate mixes for the mono and stereo formats. Whew...that sentence was long...hope no English teachers read this post! For those of you who like to categorize music and record fans and collectors, I offer the above to you as just really having a lot of fun with the stuff! And that's not even mentioning different versions of songs on singles VS their album counterparts! Oh, while I'm here I was supposed to mention that Volume Three of "Tony The Tyger Presents Fuzz Flaykes and Shakes" is out and man, there is a bit of a mistake on the jackets. They list the a track by the Mersybeats USA that isn't on the record or CD. Sorry! Please excuse this error....I've no excuses to give you on this one! Might as well plug the our Dils "Class War" album as well....both sides of the first single from '77 ("I Hate The Rich") and a live set from 1980, on CD and vinyl (mastered from all analog tapes if anyone gives a shit). Both Tony's comp and The Dils are on Bacchus and should be easy to find....look out for an entire Rotters album soon.

Yeah - this is insane! I cringe when I think of the damage these are doing - probably much more than any kid did back in the day on their home equipment. Billy Miller and Miriam Linna use this Fisher Price "Big Bird" player at record shows that has like a 10 gram tracking force - OUCH! I bought a portable player at a garage sale, and used it for a while, then discovered it was damaging records (I could tell because the 20 seconds of the song where I dropped the needle on it at a record show was quite distorted when I got home). Luckily I found a nice vintage battery-powered model made by Philips in Holland (with a Mercury Records logo on it) that is very gentle, and even plays 78s (it has a flip-over diamond needle, which can still be purchased BTW). But this seems to be the exception. I would recommend the following test of a battery-operated toy record player: Take a styrene 45, tape it on a good cassette deck from a good turntable, then play it 10 times in a row on the portable player. After that endurance test, put it back on your good record player and do an A/B comparison with the tape. My Philips player amazingly caused no audible damage to the 45 after this test, even with its original needle. I've seen another one of these players around, so perhaps they can be found without too much difficulty. I also see folks with brand new portable units that have headphone jacks on them which look "safe." These have a mini-platter in the middle, that is not even as wide as a 45, and have a clear plastic top that closes over the disc. I have no idea where one might purchase one of these, or who makes them.

I have a cd on that label of Son House's LOC recordings, and I would call it essential. What I really dig on there are the cuts with Son and some other guys recorded out on the front porch of a store out in the country - unlike commercial 78s these cuts go on for as long as 6 minutes, and in one you can hear the whistle from a train going by! That music is raucous acoustic blues dance music. The solo Son cuts are good also. I do think there may be a release of these cuts which does not contain the ones with added musicians, so beware. I bought a vinyl issue a few years ago on Folklyric that omitted them, and the CD of the LP may also be missing that stuff. It is definitely on the Biograph version though.

Steve, by all means get the Muddy Waters Library of Congress Recordings, they are beyond essential. I have an Lp reissue on Testament that came out in the mid-sixties, but I've heard the cd is much improved sound quality and adds several bonus trax, including some interview snippets. There are two different cds of this floating around, to answer Frank's question. Document was the first to put them out, but the one to get is the MCA reissue. Don't have the Son House Library of Congress Recordings (somehow this one great set I've overlooked purchasing), but again everyone else I've talked to says get the Biograph reissue. I do have a couple of cuts off this, and they're also superb. In other words, the early Muddy recordings are as great as the sides he'd cut for Chess in a few years.

East Bay Ray sued Biafra and asserted, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, conversion, unfair business practices, and sought declaratory and injunctive relief in the San Francisco Superior Court, Action 998892. Biafra cross-complained against East Bay Ray alleging, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, conversion, intentional interference with prospective economic advantage and also sought declaratory relief and injuctive relief. Despite many hours spent behind the the negotiating table, settlement talks were called off towards the end of December 1999 by East Bay Ray, Klaus Flouride and D.H. Peligro. The court date, originally scheduled for January 31, 2000 has been postponed to April 17, 2000. Green Jello? Jello Biafra was nominated for the Green Party Presidential Primary in New York State. Biafra will be an official candidate in the March 7 election.

The problem is apparently with the RealAudio data file (live.ram), which is pointing to a server (IP 209.16.198.237) that no longer exists, or at least no longer acts as a RealAudio server. I have no idea how to get to that file and modify it, but I understand that the station manager has been working on the issue, and hopefully it'll be corrected soon. Sorry for the inconvenience! Try it again this Saturday night and see if it works... kopper ================================================================ The Wayback Machine: A Rock'n'Roll Action Adventure (in stereo!) 43,000 watts of primitive garage punk, R&B, surf, & rockabilly Saturday nights: Midnight-3am (CST) KDHX FM 88.1, St. Louis, MO Check out our new web site: http://www.inlink.com/~kopper Live netcast in RealAudio: http://www.kdhx.org/listen.html ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 19:21:10 -0800 From: Rick McCullough Subject: Re: stuff > >one really interesting thing happened when John Lennon was killed.

On a non-collector side note, I knew a pre-teen girl in 1970 who, when it was announced that the Beatles had broken up, bugged her parents to get every one of their records. Seems she was afraid that Capitol (or Apple) wouldn't print any more copies and the boys would be forgotten within a few years. And what d'ya know, that's exactly what happened. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 21:00:07 -0500 From: Jahna Subject: Re: VOX-GUITARS? I haven't tried the reissue Vox's myself, but I did have a great time about two months ago watching Johnny Chan wrestle with one on stage for a while before giving up and grabbing another guitar... Sounded good, but went out of tune non-stop (it was the phantom re-issue). He hammers his guitars. I asked him about it, he said it plays great. Later int he week, I went to see him again and he had had small string holders added to the headstock of the guitar - it stayed in tune that night... Looked greta, too. He said it was pretty dirt cheap, too.

I think it was all live stuff, and sounded pretty cool from what I remember. I'll have to look and see if it's still there.

So far I've only heard one song by the Mystery Action, and that was "Bird Rockers" from the Time To Time compilation on Teen Sound out of Italy. What label is this new one on? Sounds like a real winner!
