Saw it then and saw it in reruns. Extremely non-revelatory, given the context. Also barely raising an eyebrow: keep an eye out for a Mannix episode (if you wanna plow thru 100+ otherwise snoozy detective episodes for it) at a hippie freakout with the murderer starting off this bit of snappy dialogue: "hey man, nice lookin' atcha again!" Joe: 'well, YOU seem to be in a good mood' "hey..being in a good mood is my PHILOSOPHY!" Joe: 'well, that's a good philosophy, seein' as you're in for some rough days ahead...' "is that right? any good reason for that?" Joe: 'eh...murder in the first degree....you'd be SUPRISED how some people get shook up over a little thing like that....' "would you ill-OOCE-inate at that thing for me, uh, man?" Joe: 'yeah. simple enough.

You sho' have sum FUNNY dreams! Dem lights must be messin' with yo' MIND.' (chaos and a struggle ensues, we bait our breath during some kind of variance on "For What It's Worth" (sans vocals, some lazy Bay Area hippie shit) going on in the background of thrashing and beer bottles breaking, you know, the usual 9:55pm climax....)

Frank. You're so like, gullible. Stroking your head, going: there there. Frank Sutton hit TV paydirt as Sargeant Vince Carter on that stupid show.

ANY show that prints the title of the show with an announcer that SAYS the title. In case you can't read. Talk about insulting. It doesn't just SAY the "Beverly Hillbillies". Some guy SCREAMS it. Also: Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, and so on. All Quinn Martin productions did the same thing, i dunno why now that i think of it.

I know Stax and I dropped a load of 'em off in SFrancisco when they played up there at the beginning of their tour. The CD's especially the one's with the film footage are amazing, but I think an EP of any sort is ten times cooler. To me, it's just more nostalgic and much cooler to have autographed than a CD case. You gotta understand though, this is just my opinion I'm a nostalgic nerd and dig vinyl over anything digital. I know many others(non-collectors) don't care and CD's are their scene. They were pretty cheap too, compared to the 15.00+ reissues of the French Birds, Creation, and now Dutch EP's circulating. Posters would be boss, but do you think they'd sell very well? Could you imagine going into a chain record shop and find posters of the Pretties, Creation, or the Birds.

Frank Sutton played the role of Pyle's put-upon commanding officer, Sergeant Vince Carter. For me, Sutton's responses to Pyle's ceaseless stupidity are what make the show so entertaining. Well, that and Sutton's amazingly great flat top haircut.... As far as his singing goes, I'm not aware of any records he made, but who knows? Stranger things have certainly happened. He did sing on the show a few times and it was always purposely bad: you know, gravelly- voiced hamming from someone who wouldn't know subtlety it hit him in the head with a sledgehammer. So, anyway, the reference to Frank Sutton's Greatest Hits was a moronic joke on my part....

Myself and members of Bloodrock would sure be interested in hearing this cover, if it truly is a cover. There have been a few covers of Bloodrock tunes, but we had never heard of this one. I work with some of the original band members of Bloodrock and some other artists in regards to promotions and exposure for their current and past published music.

I saw the James Brown sequence from "Ski Party," and was amazed at his recovery from a couple of slips and tripups during yet another boogaloo through "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag." Never really dug the hair from that period, though. The music sequences from "Out Of Sight" were great despite the less than stellar content of the rest of the movie. I've noticed that in every clip of the Turtles I've seen where they mimed, Flo (the big one) always seems to be on the drums. Why? The Knickerbockers were known for keen note-for-note covers of latest hits, especially on "Where The Action Is" where they subbed for the touring Raiders. "Jerk And Twine Time" on Sundazed is a collection of such Knicks soundalikes. Dave || "Every new beginning comes from another beginning's end..." || || David J.

For what it's worth (i love JB trivia): The version of "I Got You (I Feel Good)", not "Papa" btw, that JB cut for "Ski Party" was cut on 9/9/64, and is NOT the version that became a hit single. Seems that JB cut it for Smash, and it was slated to be a single (Smash 1989), but was withheld due to the restraining order that was slapped on him from King Records to STOP recording things for Smash. What a rascal, that JB. Eh. Whaddya gonna do when you're cranking out a bonafide smoker of a record every other day? He maybe should have stuck to the game plan of recording JUST organ instrumentals for Smash. The second version of the song was cut in Miami in late Spring, 1965 and came out as King 6015 later that year. Both versions are on the "JB: Startime" cd box set. They're both really cool versions. I always wondered how/why JB was lip-synching to a version of "Out of Sight" that was definitely different than the version we know from the radio, etc. Re: Out of Sight: Isn't Flo (Mark Volman) playing tamborine or maraccas in the background, like he usually does during Turtles appearances? That SHOULD be Don Murray behind the drum kit, but i forgit, it's been a while since i've seen the movie although i retaped it when AMC ran it recently. - -g ps: oh yeah, you'd think the director would have let JB have a "Take 2" on that attempted split at the end of the lipsynch! - ----------------------------------------------- "David J.
