The material ranges form show-biz style tunes to folk-pop to things like "Nut Rocker"... The big hit was "Won't Find Better Than Me" when the band became known as NEW HOPE. They have some of the most stunning harmonies you'll ever hear and I got to wonder if any of them were ever choir boys? Story I heard is the piano player Karl Hausman went on to be oneof them Disney boardwalk piano players or something,, Dunno for sure. Certainly anyone on the list from PA should have heard these guys... Attched here is a review of the cd from MOHAIR SWEETS # 5 (latest issue) The Kit Kats: It's About Time (Jamie/Guyden Double CD) Incredible harmony vocals and material that runs from soft-rock ("He Was A Friend Of Mine," "Let's Get Lost On A Country Road") to rock'n'roll slowies/oldies (their classic "Puddin 'N' Tain," "Sea Of Love," "Nut Rocker"), to show tunes ("Favourite Things"), to sublime folk-pop (the stunning hit "Won't Find Better Than Me"). Running the same path, for the most part at least, as groups like the Association and Mamas and The Papas, the Kit Kats were also able to come up with some unique numbers that are reminiscent of DDDBM&T or even the Move. As a working band the Kats played upwards of 200 dates a year and with that many days working you get your chops together. Piano player Karl Hausman is nothing short of amazing here and John Bradley's stunning voice, capable of everything from bass to high-tenor, is a signature sound that few will ever forget. While the material may not be to everyone's taste, you have to hear "Won't Find Better Than Me" at least once, cos it really is nothing short of knockout. (Visit Jamie/Guyden at: http://www.jamguy.com for info on the Kit Kats and more.)(Disc 1: 17 tracks, 46:58 playing time. Disc 2 is enhanced: 13 tracks, 40:31 playing time + 1 CDR movie for all you fortunate enough to have a computer.) Ciao for now... as I'm back to lurking...

Potter) visit a Timothy Leary type? The episode has some cover story as to why they are at the guru's house, and the show is basically a series of diatribes, first by the guru, then by Friday. Of course, the cops argument wins in the end. The kicker is, the guy is never accused of any crime, much less convicted. The little closing segment about the guy's sentence refers to a crime he's later arrested for. Is "Dragnet" on TVLand? I wouldn't want to sit through much of that stiff-necked show, but that one I'd watch again.

Seinfeld actually made reusing the same structure an art. The characters did the same thing in each show, but like the Ramones, made 3 chords work really well in their favor.

Tony>> Basically, I think, if you do stuff on the cheap, it will end up sounding cheap (ok, if you're a band wanting to sound that way, maybe not ok if I'm paying $30 for a re-issue). With all the mastering technology out there, it's insane what's possible. You could transfer vinyl onto analog tape and "warm" it up further using various methods (there is a great piece of studio gear from Hamilton, Ontario called a "Tubetronix" that I used on my next cd that looks like a panel from a 40s rocket ship or something but it warms everything up). After that, you load it into ProTools for mastering and editing and if the engineer knows his stuff, you can come out with something sonically superior to the original. Mastering is where everybody cheaps out and/or don't know what it is, so yeah, hooking up a DAT player to your turntable and pressing cds from that will pretty well sour things for everybody.

The vcr is taping the conclusion of the ABC tele-biography as I write this, so I'm not able to offer my final opinion on Beach Boys: An American Family. While watching the first night, I was wondering why Murray Wilson had a East Coast accent if he was from Kansas? The good news below is that Capitol will be back with the 2 albums on 1 compact disc format and "Sunflower" will be re-issued. When I lived in the Detroit area, I was able to pick up the two for ones that were still in print from Canada. Sean O'Hagan of the High Llamas frequently cites "Sunflower" in his interviews after the obvious 65-67 period. It will be interesting to hear this recording after not buying a vinyl copy for $12 at Car City Records back in Michigan. Unlike the late seventies stuff which is common at every garage sale and thrift store for quarters, the early seventies BB recordings are harder to find at non-collector prices. >From Phoenix with sun, Ted L. For those of you wondering if the Beach Boys' early 1970s albums would ever be reissued on CD, it looks like they will. According to latest issue of ICE, Capitol has licensed those albums from the group and will be putting them out this spring as 2 albums-on-1 disc packages. They will release SUNFLOWER and SURF'S UP together; CARL & THE PASSIONS and HOLLAND will be on another set (the latter including Brian's fantasy piece "Mt. Vernon & Fairway" which was originally included as a 7" EP); and the live album IN CONCERT will be on one disc. No bonus cuts will be included, as Capitol is saving those up for a separate unreleased/rarities disc. Later in the year Capitol will also reissue the 60s BB albums in the 2-for-1 format they came out as in 1990, deleting the single album discs currently in print. All releases will include original artwork and liner notes, and in the case of SUNFLOWER, they used the original 2-track master tape that had been mislabeled and lost in the archives (and which had not been used for the original vinyl release or any of the subsequent reissues). ICE's article includes an interview with the man in charge of the project, Capitol's A&R head of reissues, Paul Atkinson--the same Paul Atkinson who was the Zombies' guitarist! He says he wants to make sure all these reissues are done right, and that the fans aren't given short shrift. Might he be using his own group's box set as a guideline on how to do it right? One can only hope so. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2000 23:10:03 -0800 From: unkraut@io.com (Scott Gardner) Subject: Stronger Than Dirt Playlist 2/26/00 (A copy of this message has also been posted to the following newsgroups: alt.music.banana-truffle) The following was the Stronger Than Dirt playlist for February 26, 2000.

"Later in the year Capitol will also reissue the 60s BB albums in the 2-for-1 format they came out as in 1990, deleting the single album discs currently in print." Is this to say that the "2-for-1"s have been OUT of print, and that the TEN albums in the FIVE "2-for-1" series have been available as TEN "1-for-1"s in the interim?? I base this on my ownership of FIVE "2-for-1"s. Surfin' Safari/Surfin' USA Surfer Girl/Shut Down V.2 Little Deuce Coupe/All Summer Long BB Today/Summer Days BB Concert/Live in London Were there MORE in this series? English is my first language. Esperanto my second. Record-company speak, my third. - - g http://apollojams.com - --------------------------------- > For those of you wondering if the Beach Boys' early 1970s albums would > ever be reissued on CD, it looks like they will.
