I first heard about them in The Book of Rock Lists under the list for " >longest hair" then very recently I was checking out the webpage for Jac Holzman's book and in the discography it says it's one album Jac wishes had never appeared on his label. >Then this morning as I open up Izzy's (after spending the night in the Watchungs in a hotel because of the storm, but hey, D&B paid), there it is sitting on the counter! Awful album ,all covers but I'm curious about them now as they seem to have been a late-sixties version of a Sunset Strip house band, like the Standells at PJs. >John > > >===> To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe bomp" to majordomo@xnet2.com <=== > ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V2001 #2 *************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
