With one of those 'androgynous' lead guys that the Brits tend to produce every so often (ala Suede & whoever else you may choose to name) & think is somewhat of a revolution in rock'n'roll. I only make the Rush comparison 'cos when I first heard them I could have sworn it was Rush because of the lead guy's voice. Someone might want to call me out on that one, but I hadn't heard Rush for a long time (they barely made a dent down here in Australia) & I could have sworn it was them. That same fucking whine that sounds like fingernails down a blackboard. Karl. __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 19:19:45 +0100 From: "Laurent Bigot" Subject: Re: Is it me or what? > > what songs are on the Radio Shanghi single and what label is it on? > The Honeycomb's Have I the right plus an original Artificial work (it's on Target Earth). It's more new wave than the 1st 2 EPs (may be there's even more, anyone knows?).

So what's shakin' in France Laurent? > Any cool new french bands? > -dv In Paris it's almost impossible to find shows but we have a few good bands. The best of last year were les Dragueurs ,Terribles and Blutt. I was lucky with one of my 2 bands (Cécilia & ses Ennuis) cause we did 3 EPs & about 10 shows, but my other band Anteenagers MC only did 1 show & that's it (at least, practices are extremely fun). We hope to record this year. All the bands are heavily influenced by 60s sounds but with various other influences. Most of them sing in French (which was unusual for french bands in the 90s).

I haven't seen Phynx, but Skidoo is one of my favorite movies of all time! Jackie Gleason's acid trip as a mobster in prison is acting at its finest. Great scenes also with his hippie daughter and her freaky friends. Right up there with that Peter Sellers film whose title I can't recall right now, where he plays an aspiring hindu actor and accidentally infiltrates a Hollywood producer's swingin' 60s house party. Replete with hippie daughter, freaky friends, and a painted baby elephant in the swimming pool! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 22:54:16 -0800 From: Greg Shaw Subject: Daddy Cool Let it not be forgotten that Daddy Cool was managed by my 'mate' Glenn Baker, who later put together all those fab Raven records, the first Easybeats reissues, and other Bompworthy things. I believe it may have been his first record biz foray. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Jan 2001 00:37:13 -0700 From: ronald and karen sanchez Subject: Re: Tommy Lives At Leeds I don't think there is one live Who thing that JAE hasn't messed with. On the Kids movie sound track, he redid all the bass parts on the old TV stuff! He dragged out the old gear and did them "faithful" to the original sounds. I'm sure he redid some of the Isle Of Wight too. The thing was that on the first song, they were always getting levels and stuff. That's why Heaven And Hell wasn't on the original Leeds. Don't forget Pete edited in a big chunk of Magic Bus backwards. Funny story....my pals recorded a Fillmore West gig in 1969. When I first heard Leeds on the local FM rocker, I was sure it was the same tape. I thought the backwards bit was where our tape had gotten stretched from so many plays on a cheap cass player. It took me years to like Leeds as it always sounded so Heavy Metal to me. It didn't have the warm Fillmore vibe. The expanded version helped, because it put some balance back into the set. There was plans to put out a complete live Tommy, but I don't know what happened to that. Maybe they figured after IoW, there was no point. A lot of the Who reissue have really be screwed up: The used the wrong studio version of Young Man Blues on Odds and Sods; they kept using the wrong version of Mary Anne; and on Sell Out they messed with the segues and added that demo in the middle of the album! Sort of like changing the running order of Sgt Peppers. They also should have put out the Mono version of Our Love Was Is. In their determination to remix everything they didn't want to use the original mono master. This also resulted in the version of Under My Thumb not having the electric guitar solo! I don't know if they are going to do any other comp to collect some of these things. It would be an obvious choice. I got a tape a few years ago labeled Leeds outs. It was actually different versions of Sparks, and a few others from the other gigs they recorded. Apparently they made up a compilation to decide which takes to use! Very odd. Does anyone know if Shel Talmy was able to flog his My Generation masters on e-bay?

Guess I created a monster by mentioning a Free recording session... A genuine "Suck List"! "Aaaaargh! I just gotta say this......" And you all did! Funny to see people defending Queen tho': every now and then I go thru' a Queen's- first-three-albums-bash, just for the heck of it. I guess it was just plain good judgment to not include a Genesis concert, sometime in the near future... Good God!! Imagine what would have happened on the list had I mentioned a Genesis concert, played on January 24, 1975, where they played "The lamb lies down on Broadway" from start to finish. I guess mentioning that Genesis concert would have triggered some of you into really venomous replies. Or, imagine what would have happened, had I told you all, that I had a great time last weekend, listening to the first ELP album or the first King Crimson lp... Pfewww!!! Glad I didn't do all of that! Another amazing thread is/was on Classic Rock radio! Someone took the words right out of my keyboard (anybody curse Meat Loaf yet?): how come you all actually listen to those stations? Is that hoping for better times? Oldies radio is one of the main reasons (together with new R&B...) that I quit listening to the radio altogether... Anyway, back to historics now: On January 9, in 1950, Hank Williams recorded "Long gone lonesome blues", "My son calls another man daddy", "Why don't you love me" and "Why should we try anymore" at Nashville's Castle Studios; 1953, Muddy Waters recorded "Flood", "My life is ruined", "Sad sad day" and "She's all right" at Chess Studios in Chicago; 1957, Jimmy Reed recorded "Honey, where you going" and "It's you baby", in Chicago; 1966, the Syndicate of Sound recorded "Little girl" and "You" at San Francisco's Golden State Studios; 1968, Cream played a BBC session. "Steppin' out" ended up on Eric Clapton's "Crossroads" box; 1969, C & the Shells (formerly known as the Sandpebbles) recorded "You are the circus" at New York's Hit Factory Studios. The song was written and produced by Jerry Williams, better known as Swamp Dogg and formerly as Little Jerry Williams; 1969, the Free recorded "Trouble on double time" at London's Morgan Recording Studios. Five months later a second attempt would produce the version that was released on "Free". This version was first released "Songs of yesterday"; 1969, Jimi Hendrix played a gig in Stockholm, Sweden at the Konserthuset. Proof of those two shows on one evening are to be found on the cd-boot "On the killing floor", released by Swingin' Pig. I once owned it but some fuckin' junkie broke into my house and stole it; 1969, Fleetwood Mac, having been accompanied in Chicago, five days earlier, by Otis Spann, followed the big man to New York, to return the favour by accompanying Spann at Tempo Sound Studios, where "The biggest thing since Colossus..." was recorded, once more in a one day session; 1970, Bomp-darlings Led Zeppelin played a gig at London's Royal Albert Hall. One of the songs played that night was "I can't quit you baby". It ended up on "Coda" in 1982; 1979, Gang of Four played a BBC Peel session; 1979, the Jam recorded "The butterfly collector" and "Strange town" at London's RAK Studios. And sincere apologies for mentioning the Free once more.... NOT!!! Now listening to Buffalo Bop's "Teenage wolfpack", 15 Teenage Shutdowns to follow, along with Buffalo Bop's "Teenage idol", "Teenage favorites", "Teenage mafia" and "Teenage party" and EVA's "Teenage repression". I'm not kiddin' ya!! L8er, Jan (16 forever...) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2001 03:48:42 -0500 From: "Lenny Smith" Subject: Re: Don't Diss Skidoo!

Haven't seen Skidoo, but it sounds great! (And just to clarify, weren't me trashin' Skidoo, that was a user review of The Phynx off of imdb). But as for this other film you mention: >Right up >there with that Peter Sellers film whose title I can't recall right now, >where he plays an aspiring hindu actor and accidentally infiltrates a >Hollywood producer's swingin' 60s house party. Replete with hippie >daughter, freaky friends, and a painted baby elephant in the swimming pool! This is "The Party," from 1968, and it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen--a real laugh-till-it-hurts fest! With Claudine Longet to boot!

I found an album by them on >Sutton(I think that's the label, I'll have to check >and see) in a 25c box and it's GREAT!!! >> Lucky you! I have that album, though it was a bit more expensive than that. It was also reissued not long ago. Todd << The LP title is Surfmania and was reissued in 1998 by Bacchus Archives (liner notes by Deke Dickerson). I think it's very good but I woudn't recommend someone who needs an introduction to first wave surf music this record..... I mean: there are better reissues than this. My favourite tracks are their versions of Moment of truth (Original Surfaris) and Surfin Tragedy (originally a lame vocal by the Sentinals). I' m really curious to know if today's sound quality of records of the budget label Sutton is so bad as it was said about New Dimensions releases...
