My favorite part of Brian's magazine (Notes From The Garage) is the reviews of old 45's. As someone whose also accumulated a mess of seven-inchers over the years, I can't help but relate. The following might be long, technical, and obscure, but then again, isn't trivia like this what we're here for? (Besides a rockin' good time?) << AC Reed: "Boogaloo Tramp" (Nike)>> "Ahh, boogaloo tramp!" Why this hasn't popped up yet on one of those wyld 'n' krazee R&B comps (like THE GET IT! or POW CITY) is a mystery to me! It's a pounding soul instrumental ala "Twine Time" or "Last Night," with Reed (a saxophonist) intoning the title at the end of each chorus, sounding progressively drunker as the song pushes to a close. "Talkin' About My Friends" (the actual A-side) is just as good, with the exact same opening drum roll as the flip. Reed bitches and moans about his so-called "buddy buddy friends," ready to steal his money and his women at a moment's notice. An intense male chorus joins in the fun. Reed is still active on Chicago's blues scene, and many's the time I've seen him tooling around town in his Cadillac with the license plate that reads "AC REED." I asked him once, just a few years ago, where I could find a copy of this single (maybe he had some copies stashed in his basement), and he didn't know! I eventually scared up a copy for a pricey 15 cents! (This was a local hit on Chicago's soul stations, circa '67-'68.) And as for Reed...I saw him live a year and a half ago, and while he's musically too slick for my tastes, his drumhead read something like "A.C. REED, THE BIGGEST ASSHOLE IN SHOW BUSINESS." Or something like that. << Louisiana Red: "I'm Too Poor To Die"/"Sugar Lips" (Great raw blues record) (Glover)>> If you dug this, seek out his Collectables CD, THE LOWDOWN BACKPORCH BLUES OF LOUISIANA RED, a reissue of an old Roulette album from the early sixties. Doesn't include either side of this 45, but it does have "Red's Dream," where he imagines that President Kennedy appoints him to "help run the Russians from the Western Hemisphere," but not before he decides to appoint Bo Diddley to the U.S. Senate. Saw him live a couple years ago---did the best damn "Old Time Religion" you'd ever want to hear... <> I always did love songs about "loose booties." Funkadelic had a real good song on the same subject that same year (1972), and Sly & the Family Stone followed through some two years later, but this off-the-wall 45 (also issued on Gossip Tree) has the sizzle, the steak, and the whole damn plate. Another local Chicago hit (possibly due to the fact that Cobb was a local DJ at the time). <> <> I don't have either of these platters, but one of my big finds of 2000 was the Swamp Rats' "It's Not Easy" b/w "In The Midnight Hour." It set me back about ten cents. I tend to stay away from 60's bands who do obvious covers, but the Rats are a wicked exception. <> What's the deal with this? I just found this 45 last week! "Health" is a pretty good garage-sounding instrumental, the other side is a raveup medley of "Keep A Knockin'" and :"Get Back!" This is obviously from the late sixties or early seventies (yes, that's the Beatles'"Get Back"), but delivered with so much energy, it stands as a great garage 45 recorded well after that style was passe, just like the Rugbys' "You, I," the Buchanan Brothers' insane "Medicine Man," or Donny B. Waugh's two sided winner on United Artists, "C'mon Everybody" b/w "You Better Believe It." All from the magic year of '69. Good job, Brian -- J.

John Trembly rememblys: <> Don't know much more than you do, but I can tell you this much: they weren't from LA. 'Cuz I just pulled out MY 25-cent LP, and it shows the LP having ben recorded at Century Sound (NYC) and produced by Peter K. Siegel, New York Stalwart and Even Dozen Jugband member (also on Elektra, the greater part of a decade earlier.) Also I can recall in the mid-70s, at Manny's Music, on their "Wall Of Fame" (which was basically the whole store) an autographed publicity photo of the band was PROMINENTLY displayed next to all the REAL bands. You can't really see much in the LP-cover photo, but they all wore MONSTER wigs/processes......sort of like the mid-point between Billy Preston and Al Sharpton, but apparently SILVER. Very noticeable in the photo at Manny's. Some of 'em appear to be black, some Hispanic, and I think the drummer is none-of-the-above. No personnel are listed. I don't recall EVER having seen a concert listing for them anywhere, ever. So maybe they were a house-band kind of thing at some NYC dive, kinda like you suggest......or they were Elektra's idea of a way to CREATE such a thing out of whole cloth, as though there were any demand for it. Eeek. The record sucks, of course, but it's kinda fun at this late date in the same way the HIT label was. Ah, okay! On-the-run change-of-story! I have just opened my copy of Elektra's "ELEKTROCK", a (mainly,except for this!) very neat 4-LP comp from 1985, on the sneaking suspicion that there was a Wild Thing track on it. There is. Here's the blurb inside, courtesy of none other than Lenny Kaye: Iron Butterly created [In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida] for another label, but a Massachusetts-based biker band, WILD THING--whose gimmicky claim to fame was their enormous silver-sprayed bouffant hairdos, showed what it sounded like back in the bars. Originally the Dynamic Deltones, bassist Patrick "Stud" Mitchell, guitarist Pancho Vidal, drummer Dennis Iannitelli, and organist Jesse Brock had gotten their start in the "cut loose" naval base town of Norfolk, Virginia. Jac Holzman conceptulaized an album of "Partyin'" cover favorites, inculding dancefloor grind-it-out staples like "Born To Be Wild", "Good Lovin':, [etc.] Slightly perplexed, Rolling Stone called Wild Thing "the unpublicized face of the drugs-and-sex craze (or revolution, whatever you want to call it.)" Well, okay, then, Massachusetts. And I KNOW I know that name "Jesse Brock" from somewhere, but I can't quite recall where. It's your ball, Boston BOMPers. Mike F. Oh, P.S.: "Elektrock" had a sister comp called "Bleecker And MacDougal" which was also very cool, and I suppose you can guess what was on THAT one too. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Jan 2001 15:35:32 -0500 (EST) From: troggman@webtv.net (Todd Lucas) Subject: Re: Favorite Finds of 2000 >The Wildest...The Kookiest...The >Grooviest...The Slurpiest (7-Eleven) Don't know if this is the same disc or not, but thought I'd mention that I have an old radio aircheck from WQAM-Miami, circa 1966, that promos the Slurp Disc, available for only one cent, with purchase of an Icee.
