Seems to be very scarce down here in Australia. Anyone out there able >to help me with reasonably priced copies?" This LP has been out of print in the UK for years due to an age-old dispute between Shel Talmy (original producer) and (I guess) the Oo's management. The original mono issue (Brunswick 1965) is really hard to find in good condition, and the one legit reissue, also in mono (Virgin 1980) is getting kinda scarce too. There are bootlegs knocking around too. There is no domestic CD reissue available, although of course one can easily find the US version on MCA, titled "The Who Sing My Generation" and featuring a rubbishy cover, different track lineup and fake stereo. Ugh. Magic Bus is just a quickie compilation put together by US Decca. It's easily findable on CD. Meanwhile the band's second LP "A Quick One" and their third, the pop-art classic "Sell Out" are both on CD everywhere and I would recommend both too! The recent "BBC Sessions" set, featuring some (but not all) of the band's 60s/early 70s BBC stuff, is also worth getting. There is a double vinyl edition as well as the CD. Coolsville!

Let me clarify my dislike of this...this...guy. His singing is on-key, albeit overwrought. He turned "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" from wistful reflection to wrenching exorcism. What brings me to loathe level is the fact that he was quoted as saying that his versions "improve" on the originals. I don't mind paying homage (heck, the King's English do covers!), but when Bolotin (his real name. What are you hiding!?) thinks that his misbegotten wheeze is an improvement on Otis Redding or anyone else he covers, then one realizes that his head is constricting his brain and forces out ego. Probably makes his hair curly, too. I wouldn't have minded had he said that he TRIES to improve on the originals. That just warrants a "good luck, mate" and a half-smile. It's rare to improve on what he deems to cover. One person did improve on an Otis Redding original and Redding even admitted it. When he heard Aretha Franklin's version of "Respect", he smiled and said, "That little girl stole my song from me!". I rather like his version, too, though.

Hmmmm???? :) You're right, tho. Hey, we're just taking a breather from all the hard info of the past few weeks. Go to the Bomp Site and bang up the BompList Archive if you want an instant fix of garage and psyche talk. Basically, right now, we're a bunch of garage/psyche FANATICS who enjoy going off on a tangent now and again. Scroll back in the Archives and you'll see what i mean. It is, however, nice to see that everyone on the List isn't myopic with the garage/psyche stuff, and actually have many other interests and strange thoughts that make the List more fun and less like "homework". A balance of the two works best for me, personally. Actually, i got a list of questions which i'll post in a minute that'll take us back into the "core" of the List, if not necessarily "6ts garage or psyche", as you put it.

Wow! Now seems like a good time to mention that a Jack Webb biography came out late last year, "Just the Facts, Ma'am: The Authorized Biography of Jack Webb, Creator of Dragnet, Adam-12, and Emergency" -- by Daniel Moyer. It was published by an outfit called The Eugene Alvarez Company. Have you read this?? I don't have it yet, but if the birthday hints I dropped in my wife's direction were successful, it will show up pretty soon. Incidentally, I went to Amazon.com to get info so I could correctly quote the title and found that photocopies of Jack Webb's will are being auctioned on the site as well. Someone else asked if Dragnet is currently runnning on TV Land and the answer is yes, each weeknight @ 9PM, followed by a half-hour of Adam-12 at 9:30PM. Webb was the exec. producer of Adam-12, so if you like Dragnet and the J. Webb style, chances are pretty good you'll like Adam-12, too.

Do you remember the Roach Motel/Charlie Pickett goof of "We're an American Band" at Flynn's... I think they were playing with Gay Cowboys In Bondage that night. THE MAVERICKS: Saw their very first show in late 1989, at Churchill's Hideaway... back then it was Raul Malo, Ben Peeler on guitar, and two members of Nuclear Valdez. They actually started out as a Nuclear Valdez side-project, with Raul (their old buddy from the Tomboys and the Basics)... a chance to do some of their favorite old country songs and other covers like "Born on the Bayou". How they grew in such a short period of time, as Raul's songwriting developed. They returned to Churchill's to cut their first MCA video (for "Hey Good Lookin'") -- they stuck a marlin on the stage to make it look like a country bar, instead of the punk place Churchill's was! I was one of the dancers during the video shoot, but didn't make the cut on the final video. It's interesting that with NO COUNTRY SCENE in Miami in 1989-90, the Mavs played a lot of punk and rock venues and were completely accepted due to the INTENSITY with which they played their music. They played some strange bills in those early days (i.e. opening for Run Westy Run at Washington Square). Both the Mavericks and Marilyn Manson began their careers opening for the same band! (The Goods)... the first official Manson show was March 1990, also at Churchill's. The Goods got them the gig... since Brian Warner (Manson) had written a piece about them for "Tonight Today" magazine.

Helen Reddy! Alanis! Bompers, I tend to avoid commercial radio like the plague, but I'm sure the crap quotient is as high as ever since the 70's. Where I work, I sometimes walk by the radio playing the oldies station and happened upon two real all-time rock stinkers in my book: "We Built This City (On Rock & Roll)" by Jefferson Starship Hard to believe these were some of the same folks who wowed us with stuff like "Somebody To Love" and Greasy Heart".. "Open Arms" by Journey Again, I could handle these cats with Mr. Greg "Black Magic Woman" Rollie singin' and the guitar-wanking prog/psych attack of the early albums, but Steve Perry's power ballad whining is completely intolerable! Great examples of the art of "selling out". By the way, the first time I heard Michael Bolton's name, I thought UFO's first drummer had started a solo career! Same with a guy named Bobby Caldwell...thought it was the amazing Captain Beyond/Armagedon drummer. Anyone else have those silly head-scratching mistaken identity experiences (ala mis-heard lyrics)? El Squirrello. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2000 15:38:39 -0800 (PST) From: Neil Motteram Subject: Songs that make you want to kill the 'artist' Anything by The Smiths. At all.

How could I ever forget this one? This is one of the most odious records ever made in my book. No other record I've ever heard says "We sold out and we're glad we did" quite like this one. May it rank as a nasty blot on their permanent records forever. > > "Open Arms" by Journey Steve Perry's power ballad > whining is completely > intolerable! YES! I coudn't agree more. I had to endure this loudmouth on the radio all through my high school and college years. More reason not to reminisce about the 80s. And the stench goes on forever.........

Every time that song comes on the radio I change the channel and think that even after that commercial, there are still alot of people (people who are my age)who don't know who Sly & The Family Stone are, but they know that freakin song. I also hate "Under The Boardwalk" (both the one by the Drifters & the one by Petula Clark), wait a minute, I dislike almost all songs by the Drifters. - -Jason Mata __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2000 17:31:20 -0800 From: "nipper@thestranger.com" Subject: Re: meat is murder? >Anything by The Smiths.

Sorry, but as far as stinkers by people who were good in the sixties go, that album is slightly better than Steve Marriott's solo album. ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V2000 #99 **************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
