Title was "The Wild Thing" - produced ,as was the first, by Peter K Siegel for Burmese Records. Lineup for the second album was : - Jesse P Brock - vocal, gtr, organ Poncho Vidal - gtr Patrick Marshall - bass, vocals Dennis Ianitelli - dms Can't tell you what it's like as I haven't heard it for 20 years. They'd got rid of the wigs by this time and the cover looks as if it should be filed next to the 1910 Fruitgum Co's "Hard Ride" album. Re the SPQR single - both sides written by Frank Guida and Newport soulster Lenis Guess. I've been researching the Newport soul scene and according to BMI Guess' full name seems to be Lenis Defect Guess III (!) Can anyone confirm the SPQR catalog number - I've seen it as both 1002 and 1103. There's a Wild Thing 45 on Elektra 45672 "Next To Me" b/w "Old Lady". Both sides written by the Wild Thing, produced by Peter K Siegel. Since I've never had a copy of the first album I must've got the details of the 45 from the second album.

Where Neko only plays a supporting role (as in I don't believe she's on every track) on the New Pornographers' disc, you'll find her co-starring with Carolyn Mark on The Corn Sisters' _The Other Women_ (Mint) a live recording from Hattie's Hat restaurant in Seattle in May, '98. Neko fans will recognize a few of the songs from her solo act ("Too Many Pills" and "High On Cruel", among others), but they take on yet another dimension with Carolyn involved. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 02 Jan 2001 10:22:40 +0000 From: "James Bond" Subject: Happy New Year...and other stuff too.

It's an amazing track for '65, total madness!. Anyhow, if you want a 45 of "Have I The Right" they're very easy and cheap to find here in the UK... And I could find a copy of "Can't Get Through To You" by this time tomorrow too. All released on Pye over here, dunno about the USA. Btw, I saw the Honeycombs play a re-union show a couple of years ago for one of the Joe Meek Appreciation Society's events in Holloway Road. And they were pretty good actually. > I saw a documentary about him (I think it was called "The > Legendary Joe Meek - The Telstar Man") That documentary is a BBC production from the early '90s, based on the book about Joe Meek of the same title, written by John Repsch. At the JMAS annual x-mas party last month, John told me that a new edition of the book is coming out soon. More on that when I get all the info. It's a great read. >amazing as pop producers, but Meek was able to produce any kind of style. >"Come On Back", "Crawdaddy Simone", "Thou Shalt Not Steal", "Telstar", >"Questions I Can't Answer" are a few of the "must" he produced. Absolutely! Found myself a copy of "Questions I Can't Answer" on Tower when I was in New York last November. Great record! Of course, being extremely prolific, there are a fair number of really bad records amongst Joe Meek's productions - but the amazing quality of the huge quantity of totally GREAT records is astounding. Could there have been anyone else around at the time who could have been adequately matched up with Screaming Lord Sutch? I think not! And look at the people he had in his studio as members of his house band. - -- PJ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2001 15:45:13 +0000 From: Boldface Subject: Froggie Thrift Store Find Okay, so the guy on the pic sleeve, Danyel Gerard, looked just a tad square...but the songwriting on the first track of the EP "D'Accord D'Accord" credited a certain L.

(The band comes outta Rochester, New York and carries the gold-stamped producer/engineer-pedigree of A. Babiuk and G. Prevost of the Chesterfield Kings). More on the twang-side was the top notch second disc from Hollywood's Everlys/early Fab Four/Bobby Fuller-influenced Sprague Brothers ("Forever And A Day" on HMG). Oh those familial harmonies! And once you got past the unrepresentative Japanese alt-rock looking cover, Nancy Apple's album "Outside The Lines" delivered the honkytonk-tinged goods big time, with great vocals, top musicianship and most of all, attitude. We definitely dug it. We're still warming to Sundazed's Gram Parsons CD of unreleased 1965-66 recordings, "Another Side Of This Life." As you would expect from Sundazed it sounds great, but the solo acoustic takes definitely tilt more to a folk sound than, say, his International Submarine Band or "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo" era Byrds work. As always we say "thanks" to the artists and labels responsible for producing tonight's music, and to the loyal listeners who encourage us to air it every week!

Just curious. Yeah, Brian, I currently play for a punk band called Big Meat Hammer (our singer maintains a website at www.bigmeathammer.com , and by the way, has an automated selection of rare punk, including some unreleased live early Boston punk recordings broadcasting over the net every Fri (9pm EST) to Sun (10pm EST) night--you can link to the broadcast from the homepage. Even though the same songlist is in effect each week, the order of them is randomized so that someone who can only listen at one particular time each week will still hear different stuff). I also recently joined a surf band called Shutdown 66 (I believe they were using the name before the Aussie band of the same name; at any rate they've been around several years. They had kinda stopped playing, but everyone got the itch recently but the bass player, so they drafted yours truly. The Brood's Chris Horne plays rhythm guitar).

They did, but I didn't feel like spending my New Years with a bunch of rockabilly posers. Besides, I was in Bloomington the night before seeing the Gizmos/Panics reunion show and saw one of the best shows of the year! And I was so dead tired after that that I slept almost the whole day and really didn't feel like going out at all, so I stayed in, wrote a couple of reviews, jammed out to a bunch of my 45s and watched a bit of the Abbott and Costello marathon on AMC. I'm glad it was a rockin' show, but I really did have my doubts. But the Gizmos show I absolutely had to see.

And I was amazed to see 5 or 6 Boston rock cogniscenti (DJs, zine writers, local musicians, etc.) standing right in front soaking it all in with obvious pleasure -- I just didn't get it. I did like Richard Davies, who opened the show. stoneager@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: Punk questions/GBV And there's Definitely a screw or two loose somewhere if he's unimpressed by a Subsonics' set! > >As for GBV, I don't agree with the "love them or hate >them" statement.

I haven't bought much new stuff this year, besides the ever so great Embrooks Lp and a few others. I finally installed internet at home and went kinda nuts on Ebay, buying amazing Japanese 45's from our friend Hitomi, and a couple of Italian and Spanish 45's as well. The 1st thing I bought on Internet was Rita Pavone's "Il Geghege'", a great garage track from the italian teen queen which I've wanted to find for such a long time! What's great about living in Montreal is that once in a while, you'll find some really good French records for 0.50$ each! I recently found original LP's by Sylvie Vartan, worth about 30$ here, Michel Polnareff, Jacques Dutronc's Le Responsable 45', Les Sinners 1st Lp in almost mint condition and Les Miserables' "Vivre avec toi" 45'. The best cd comp I found this year is vol 3 of the series GS I Love You, featuring The Spiders! I also went nuts at Denis' Le Pick Up store (home to Ultra Chicks) on its last day in september, (I'm still sad about it! What a store that was!) and bought everything I could get my hands on, while Denis was throwing everything in boxes and loading his car! Found Les Baroques "Such a Cad" EP, The Boozers "Bonsoir Baby" 45, France Gall's 1968 Lp, tons of soul lp's which I didn't have enough of, and a huge Brigitte Bardot poster which my cat Babette immedietaly decided to rip off my wall...I named her after Babette Bardot, so perhaps she was jealous. She also made a point of ripping off another Brigitte photo I had on my bedroom wall, and goes nuts whenever I play my Brigitte Lp's. My cat HATES Brigitte Bardot! Anyway, Happy New Year everyone!

As far as the bands go, we're looking for all-female or mixed gender, of the Bomp-ish persuasion or not (basically something that's not the same old Lilith Fair crap). If you or someone you know is looking for a show in Philly, drop me a line at this address. Also, if there are any ladies who make anything decorative, functional, or both (such as zines, clothes, etc.), we're going to be starting a merch table at some point. Serious inquiries only. Don't let me catch any of you re-enacting that Monkees episode where Davey dresses up like a girl to be on some TV show ;) _________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V2001 #5 *************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
