I've lost track of how many times that extremely common Mixed Emotions 45 (which isn't that great, anyway) has been "comped" in the last couple of years. If it's so expensive to put out vinyl comps, why don't these compilers just do CDs? For 500-1000 copies, it only costs about $2 per "unit" (at the most) with booklet. The argument is that vinyl is better, but these guys use the poxiest quality available - their LPs are like flexidiscs. And - irony of ironies - the darn things are all digitally remastered anyway. That pretty well defeats the notion of "vinyl purist" altruism. I also agree that if you don't have the original singles - or direct DAT of same - leave it to someone who does.

The 45's that aare digitally recorded to a DAT end up having a lifeless flat sound as if all the energy was taken out of the record. This could be the recording skill of the DAT creator. There are exceptions to this rule but I have yet to hear a DAT recording of a 45 that beats an analog transfer.

Also check out the stores on Clark, Hi-Fi Records and Second Hand Tunes (both have good comps), both south of the end of Broadway. Unfortunately I don't have addresses and since I drive in to the city from the burbs I don't take the el. But you should be able to find these easy. Good luck and have fun!

Greetings, I just received in my mailbox several hours ago the CD version of the The Vipers' "Outta the Nest." My memories are coming back. I remember my first exposure to the Vipers. I was 15 years old. On the readio, I heard "Borrowed Time." I thought it was actually an asthenic 60s gem, but it was recored the very same year, 1984. Later, DJ Carol Taylor played their version of the Standells' "Medication." Believe it or not, the Vipers's version is better. My favorite song is "Tears (Only Dry"). "Tears" sounds like something that should've been on "Rubber Soul" or "Revolver." It's very Beatlelesque. Perhaps, it might be silly to mention, but I remebered the days when I had the Mop Top Haircut, the Paisley Shirts, the tight tapered Levis, with the shiny black Beatle boots. From there, I turned to a skinhead, a goth (Barnabus Collins/Peter Murphey wannabe) except I was bit chubbier than they could ever be. From there, I went to a very low key "college radio" fan type of attire. Yes, I dressed the preppy alternative look, modeled after the Smiths. It was so low key, that I continue it to this day. The only thing is different about me is that I wear Buddy Holly glasses. Lately, I've been thinking about returning to my Mod roots.

I watch Gomer Pyle USMC and last night (on TVLand) there was a really great and bompworthy episode in which Gomer got manipulated into taking the Colonel's daughter to a swingin' go-go club! There was a live band onstage and they sounded really great... they were playing a cool minor-key folky type tune like something you might expect to hear from the Leaves or the Byrds. The band was even listed in the closing credits...they were named The Factory. I am not familiar with them, so can somebody clue me in....was this a real band with commercially released recordings or what? Oh yeah, Rob Reiner had a role as a partying beatnik who asked Gomer a bunch of pesky questions about the military like, "So, like, do they give you room to do your own thing, or do you haveta make the scene with everybody all at once?" Gotta love that Hollywood beatnik lingo.... Greg NP: Frank Sutton's Greatest Hits ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 14:23:11 -0500 From: "Lindholm, Jeffrey" Subject: RE: Good band featured on GOMER PYLE, USMC There was a band called the Factory based in California way back about that time, played kinda folk-rock stuff, had Lowell George and (I think) Richie Hayward before they put together Little Feat. One of the reissue labels (Rhino?) put out a CD of their stuff 5 years or so ago. Good light-rocking folk-rock stuff but not anything Featish. The last cut had Frank Zappa and it sounded very Mothers-ish. George played briefly with Zappa somewhere in there. Not sure if they're the Factory from Gomer, but sounds like the right style.

I wanted to get that clip, didn't know it was on. The Factory featured Lowell George (Little Feat) and had a couple 45s on UNI ca. '67. They cut stuff with Frank Zappa that wasn't released at the time, though in '93 a cd appeared on Bizarre/Straight and Edsel with most of their recordings, including the tunes from Gomer Pyle, "Lost" and "Candy Cane Madness." It's really good! You wouldn't look at it and think there was some cool '60s garage on there (though it isn't all necessarily garage), but there is. Delerium's web site has more info on them - it's where I got most of the above info!

Hear 'em tomorrow on Coffee 'n' Smokes Though '60s garage/punk is Crypt's hallmark, you're not doing yourself justice without giving their soul/R & B/rockabilly recordings a listen. It's the better stuff. Heresy, I know and hard to believe, but it's true. Just give it a listen! Also, you'll be able to score all o' this great shit ON-LINE in a few weeks!

I very much agree with you. It amazes me that I bought the Norton Pretty Things' EPs for about $6 each, but I spent (and I feel like such a loser when I think about it) $20 on that reissue of a Birds' EP. ===== Ashley Ericson __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 17:37:39 -0500 From: rat fink Subject: Re: Registrators new one Scott Gardner wrote: > > >Yeah, this album kicks ass!

Same material as on all those cool CD reissues. Put your money towards something else, I say.
