An interesting point. I'm betting this one could be explained several ways: 1) that girls indeed knew where it was at 2) girls were more inclined to write their names on a 45, which might also mean they were the ones carting 'em around to play for their friends 3) the 45s boys owned were trashed beyond repair 4) girls' 45s got stored and recirculated; boys got tossed or kept 5) some mix of the above I thrifted a book the other day, and was shocked to look over at the bedside table and see that someone had written in multi-colored pencil YOU'RE TOO SEXY FOR THIS BOOK across the top edge.

Peter ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 19:03:10 -0800 (PST) From: brian marshall Subject: 45 Time again....like it or not Hello again, Well, once more, I've been grooving to a bunch of 45s I've been accumulating for the last couple of months or so. So, forgive me if this post is a bit long, but I just thought I'd share a bunch of 'em with you. Again, if any of you have some info on some of the records mentioned, I'd appreciate it as always. The Sparkles: "The Hip" (Hickory 45-1364) I believe they had some minor chart success with this one, though I could be wrong. Anyway, this is their second single (after "The U.T.") and it's a right cool dance number. "Hip. Hip. Do the Hip." The Werps: "Love's A Fire"/"Shades of Blue" (WGW 18703) "Love's A Fire" is also on a "Back from the Grave" volume in a hornless version. Some thing the hornless version is much more punked-out and don't like the horns on the 45, but me, I think the horns are kind of cool sounding. The B-side's on "Scum of the Earth, Vol. 1." The Rainbows: "Balla Balla"/"Ju Ju Hand" (CBS 2117) "Balla Balla's" a pretty cool upbeat rock 'n' roll number. "Ju Ju Hand's" of course, the Sam the Sham number, but that side on my copy is pressed way off center. I'm bummed about that, but "Balla Balla's" rockin' enough to compensate. The Insects: "Girl That Sits There"/"Then You Came My Way" (Highland 1185) Cool two-sider with "Then You Came My Way" having some Beatle-esque overtones. Come to think of it, both songs do, but "Girl" has a bit more energy, though. The Mirror: "Faster Than Light"/"Gingerbread Man" (Phillips 326 878 BF) Mod-ish stuff with some psychedelic touches. I like "Faster Than Light" a bit better because it kind of reminds me of The Who, but both sides are good. The Marauders: "Caliente" (Studio City 1035) Really great Ventures-ish instrumental from a Minnesota band. Don Adams and the Flying Scotch: "Oop-Poo-Pah-Doo"/"Sweet and Sour Tears" (Metronome HB 45-743) Freakbeat-ish stuff with a full-power version of the Jesse Hill classic and a righteous instrumental. The Contours: "Pa, I Need A Car"/"You Get Ugly" (Gordy 7019) Another follow-up to "Do You Love Me." Both songs are also on the raw side, but with a bit more novelty value. Cool, nonetheless. The Pretty Things: "Come See Me"/"Judgement Day" (Fontana F-1550) Pre-"S.F. Sorrow" Pretties greatness! This is a U.S. issue I found for a buck Plays beautifuly and LOUDLY! The Premiers: "Get Your Baby"/"Little Things" (Faro 621) Raucous as all hell instro stomper from the "Farmer John" boys. From about 1965. Silver Fleet: "Come On Plane"/"Look Out World" (UNI 55271) I read somewhere that this was originally issued in 1971. Listening to "Come On Plane," I can believe that. But "Look Out World" is a snot-filled rocker that sounds like it was recorded 6 years later! Produced by Katz-Kasenetz, the folks who brought you The 1910 Fruitgum Co. Neal Ford and the Fanatics: "Shame On You" (Hickory 45-P-1433) One of the best I've heard so far from this Texas group. Loaded with pounding farfisa organ and creepy, snarled vocals, this takes the "boy-pissed-off-at-chick" bit to a new level, at least to me. From 1967. UGE: "Mad Charles" (WGW HMR-889) Real weird number from 1974 that sounds like it was recorded years earlier. Indestructible being from another world defeats all challengers! Borders on garage-psych, kind of. The Nightrockers: "Junction No. 1"/"Run Mary Run" (Arco SC 105) Both of these songs have punch, but are dimmed a little bit because of the vocals. Nonetheless, "Junction No. 1" is a real two-chord stomper with thumpin' farfisa and guitar and a poundin' beat. Kenny and the Night Riders: "Swamp Rat" (Bristol B-102) >From about 1960. "Swamp Rat" is a stompin' piece of instrumental greatness that gets out there and swings. The Quarter Notes: "The Shock"/"Oriental Rock" (Glenn MV-GL-2550) Two-sided instrumental monster from a Hammond, IN label. My vote goes to "Oriental Rock" for it's completely mean guitar work. The Rivingtons: "You Move Me Baby" (Vee Jay VJ 634) Super-fine, super-fast cut from the "Papa Oom Mow Mow" crew. This is apparently a bit later period, but it's extremely righteous with out-of-this-world back-up vocals. The Cobblestones: "Down With It"/"Flower People" (Mobie 3425) "Flower People" is actually the A-side, a typical flower-power effort with a bit more punch than a lot them. But "Down With It" is an absolute instrumental scorcher, with snarling fuzz guitar and organ work and a righteous Bo Diddley beat. A gem! The Dave Clark Five: "Catch Us If You Can"/"On The Move" (Epic 5-9833) "Catch Us," of course, was a big hit and a great song, but lo and behold, "On The Move" is a smash of an instrumental that smokes like a mother! It's amazing the things you can find when you look hard enough. Randy and the Radiants: "My Way Of Thinking" (Sun 398) Great rockin' song, also the concluding track on the "You Gotta Have Moxie, Vol. 2" double CD comp. The Unchained Mynds: "Goin Back To Miami"/"We Can't Go On This Way" (Buddah BDA 111) The "Fuzz, Acid and Flowers" book doesn't rate this Wisconsin band's stuff too highly, but I think "Goin' Back To Miami" (a Wayne Cochran-composed song) is a gem with rockin guitar and farfisa work and freaked-out vocals. Me says it rocks! From 1969. The Yellow Payges: "I'm A Man"/"Home Again" (UNI 55225) This comes from 1970 and was one of this band's last singles, but I think their version of "I'm The Man" can hold its own against the versions by The Yardbirds and The Litter. A little more fuzz-toned perhaps, but still every bit as rockin' and as loud! They also did a great single, "Jezebel"/"We Got A Love In The Making" on Showplace, as well as an album on Uni which I haven't heard. The Chylds: "Hay Girl" / "I Want More (Lovin') Giant 101 MONSTER 2-SIDER! "Hay Girl" is on a "Boulders" comp (and Vol. 1 of "You Gotta Have Moxie") and is righteous in its own right. But I dig the hell out of "I Want More (Lovin')" which reminds me a lot of the kind of "get-up-and-dance" numbers that make me think of Mitch Ryder at his best. Either way, you win with this one. The Dantes: "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love"/"80-96" (Jamie 1314) "80-96" is one of my all-time fave instrumentals with its raw guitar work, snarling harmonica and all-out loudness. What a pleasure it is to discover that "Can't Get Enough" is a great song in its own right with jangly guitar and rhythms. Of course, "80-96" is just completely great! 2-sider? I say so! More later.

They put out the first album last (which is the only good one - sorry Johnno!). I don't have it, but hopefully the sound quality is better than the Raven 'Hands Of Time' which has an friggin' dropout/volume reduction halfway through 'Buried & Dead'. - -Peter ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 22:49:02 EST From: Skrodude@aol.com Subject: the street less traveled In a message dated 1/26/00 8:09:44 PM Central Standard Time, owner-bomp-digest@xnet2.com writes: << Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 18:27:13 EST From: "Hugh Mendoza" Subject: The street less traveled...

I'm A Man was the best thing on it. (In my memory, the only good track, but maybe I was just in a bad mood when I heard it.) They had another single on Showplace "Never See The Good In Me"/"Sleeping Minds." Of the four Showplace tracks, "Sleeping Minds" is the only one I don't love. And it's one of my all time favorite record labels. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 15:07:49 EST From: "B W" Subject: masters apprentices website anyone wanting a cd of the Master's beat era stuff should hold off for another month or so. Ascension, the Sydney label that recently did the Masters EMI lps , is about to officially reissue the first lp, with a few unreleased tracks. The Jim Keays book "His Masters Voice" published a few months ago is also worth getting. More here: http://www.mastersapprentices.com/ Hellacopters.....destroy Sydney tonight!!!!!

I should be getting it shortly. Thanks for letting me know, though. I'll also look out for that other Showplace single, too, even though "Sleeping Minds" may not be so hot.

I have found myself playing in a sort shit house rock band with a bunch of goths. It isnt the 60s garage band thing I want but it is all i can find. Three weeks into this synth pop punk david bowie fest and it is getting rather irritating. Can anyone think of any 60s tunes (or bomp related) that those sort of people could get into. They dont seem to mind the gravedigger 5, and that song by that European group on Battle of the Garages 2 "Hounted House" But beyond that what else is there. They complain it all sounds like music their parents would listen to. (We are all between 16 and 19 years old) And about the record collector snobs, most ive come across are nice and freindly and don't mind answering such obvious questions, although it is irritating when they yap on for hours telling useless trivia about who played on what and talking about obscure bands to try and make it clear to you that they are beter than you (when they are 20 years older anyhow) Anyway i suppose this post is different to many others but it may start conversation on a different tangent. Bye now, and have a Bompadelic day. ______________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 21:43:32 -0800 From: "fbrandon" Subject: Re: Muddy Waters - Library of Congress buy all three---son house, muddy and hound dog taylor (especially if it has "give me back my wig" on it)!!! you can't go wrong - -----Original Message----- From: DCAMPA@austin.rr.com To: bomp@xnet2.com Date: Wednesday, January 26, 2000 11:42 AM Subject: Re: Muddy Waters - Library of Congress > >Oops!

Depending on when your parents got together, they might have been listening to Bauhaus and Joy Division. Didn't Bauhaus do a few garage-ish covers? I remember hearing a boot where they did a version of The Strangeloves "In The Night Time." And Telegram Sam, of course. Or you could play Bela Lugosi's Dead back to back with I Wanna Be Your Dog. Then tie it in to the Velvet Underground via John Cale. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 00:52:41 -0500 From: "BlackMonk (Tom,as always)" Subject: Re: Wedding tapes >>I'm Gonna Get Married-Lou Christie I love this song.

Moving shitloads of damn LPs year after year after year . . . esp. if you go across country!!! I definitely like the "compactness" of CDs -- I have no more room for records!" CDs and LPs each have their advantages and disadvantages, but on storage space-saving terms, there isn't all that much difference. Your standard jewel box takes up the width of TWO non-gatefold LP jackets (I won't even go into 2 CD sets that take up TRIPLE jewel box real estate). Ok, you think, they're thick but they're small. Well, yes, but if you are storing them on shelves like LPs so that you can read all of the spines and alphabetize them, they only save storable space in one dimension. Meaning, it doens't matter that LPs are wider than CDs, if your shelf is against a wall that shelf can hold one row of viewable CDs or LPs. So the only advantage here is that they are half the HEIGHT of LPs. They are, for practical purposes, the same width*. So, you can fit two shelves of CDs in the space of one shelf of LPs -- but remember that they tend to be twice as wide as an LP. So CDs TAKE UP JUST AS MUCH ROOM AS LPs! Now, if labels would make little tight cardboard jackets like mini-LPs, things would be much better, but the current "jewel box" standard is much cheaper to make, especially in small quantities (and even those much vaunted "Digipacks" are thicker than they need to be). Some mobile DJs buy a system where they use plastic sleeves to hold the discs with liner notes. You have to use the included cutter to make the tray card spine fit into their system, and you have to buy their pricey sleeves, but DJs like it because they can carry triple the CDs in the same box. I don't think you collector types are looking forward to destroying all of your CD packaging though. * You WILL gain a few inches of floor space from CD's narrower width (viewed from the front) *IF* you have perfectly designed CD storage units, which is surprisingly hard to find -- I've seen people use giant, deep IKEA bookshelves to store CDs. And forget those ridiculous CD storage units with individual little slots for each one, unless you have so few that you dont need to alphabetize/slide them. But this floor space will not help you store more CDs or records or books. ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V2000 #41 **************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
