The most noteworthy thing about Daddy Cool (for me at least) is that they evolved out of Melbourne '60s punk-R&B schoolboy outfit the Pink Finks. The first issue of my Kommotion mag features an interview with singer Ross Wilson about his days in the Finks, accompanied by some boss pix. Incidentally, Daddy Cool went to the USA a couple of times in 1971, but in spite (or because) of being touted as the best thing since the Beatles, they bombed out bigtime. - -Peter M PS: Anyone ever wonder why the Pink Finks are on the cover of a Teenage Shutdown volume?

If you have any info that might help please feel free to contact [edited] directly. - ---------- From: [edited] Subject: in search of Chrysalis Dear Music Lover: One of my all-time favorite albums is a quirky, semi-psychedelic art-rock release by an obscure group called "Chrysalis." In 1968 they recorded just one album entitled "Definition" on the MGM label, and then disappeared. On a whim I searched the Web, tracked down the leader of the band from 32 years ago, and sent him an e-mail. I wondered if there were any plans to issue the Chrysalis album on CD. I was thrilled when he replied! He told me he would love to put out a Chrysalis CD but can't get to the master tapes. His best hope is to find a mint or still-sealed copy of the LP and to master the CD direct from the vinyl. Sadly, my copy is just about worn out. I did find a second copy but it has a skip on it. It's pointless to try and make a CD unless he can get a nice clean copy of the LP to work from. Here's where you come in. Do you, or does anyone you know, have an un-played copy of this admittedly arcane album by Chrysalis? If so, can I buy it or borrow it for this project? Feel free to pass this message on to your record-collecting friends and associates. [If you do, I will later write them and their associates and claim I never wanted this information made public, and that it was "kind of rude, really" to do so.] I would be really pleased if I could be part of putting this CD deal together.

As for the reissue of Sell Out, the liner notes by Dave Marsh are so awful! What a boob. Marsh says that Sell Out "has become a truer account of the Sixties than any other document". Huh?

At least in the pre-psych days, a good plural name wasn't hard to come by. But after the late-70's new wave explosion, we had the Cars, the Shirts, the Bottles, the Kings, etc....none of whom have quite the same majestic ring as, let's say, the Miracles, the Sonics, the Outsiders, the Temptations, etc. With a name as banal as "the Kings," it only works if you modify it a little ("the Chesterfield Kings," "Ike Turner & his Kings of Rhythm"). One good thing about non-plural names---it gave the field of band names some freedom, and besides, you don't hyave to worry about accidentally nicking some other band's name. (There is an alt-rock band from Atlanta called the Rock-A-Teens...a friend and co-worker who is either an ex-member or an associate sez that they knew about the 50's rockabilly band with the same name [hit:"Woo Hoo"], but they thought they'd do it anyway to attract attention.)

I noticed the examples you mentioned, plus the fact that all the mixes have a completely different feel. Unfortunately, the only way to hear the proper mixes of Sell Out and A Quick One is to find mono LPs. "Run Run Run" has a really cool fuzz guitar overdub that doesn't exist on any other version. There are boot CDs that have these versions, but the sound quality is pretty bad. For anyone who cares, the Isle of Wight performance is noticeably worse than most of the other 69-70 shows, so Leeds Complete (or one of the other gazillion boots from the period, including the Fillmore show Ron mentioned) is worth getting if you're interested in hearing a tight show. I thought the Zombies box was a great example of how to reissue material. They realized that the mono masters had all sorts of extra overdubs, so they just used those. Ron, speaking of Our Love Was, do you know how the stereo version got to be the one with the overdubbed solo, not the mono, as is usually the case? Sam < Subject: Re: Tommy Lives At Leeds 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!

Are these comps usually just ill planned and off-handedly tossed together then, like, under severe-budget restraints? And the fuck ups happen not only to the Who, for example, THEM's (w/V.'brown eye'Morrison) 'complete' 2CD, the UK version had a few "issues"...which "they" said were corrected on the US vers...whatever...ugh. Oh, and as these thoughtless labels don't often have the sense to wipe their own asses I don't understand how they then have the gall persecute bootleggers...er, them boot folks who sometimes do the job right...such as this leeds boot? ...and the mono version of run run run...SMOKES the stereo version... ><on e-bay?>> >THAT'S when it would've gotten interesting, and that's also probably why >nobody bid on it. (I think the minimum bid was $10,000, or was it $100,000?) at this point the URL is 'invalid'...the minimum bid was $500,000, w/a reseve...I bid $350,002.01, just in case, (sniff) but it wasn't enough, I got the "Sorry..." return post...not that I have 300K... xonipper ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Jan 2001 15:33:30 -0500 From: "Chris Polinsky" Subject: Alternative TV @ Somethin' Else Hello, everyone.

Hi dragsville: Sounds to me like you use only the best equipment. May I also recommend the Harmony line of guitats? I had two..a solid body with a whammy bar that never went out of tune and really kicked. In my early days, I had a double pick-up Harmony hollow body with built in battery operated tremolo. Harmony also made a great 3 pickup hollow body with a Bigsby tailpiece. Stick with the good stuff.

Okay, so if you are going to compare "Skiddo" to "The Party" then I definitely have to see it!!!! Andrea Greg Shaw wrote: 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: Tue, 9 Jan 2001 14:28:40 -0800 (PST) From: Andies Candies Subject: re: bad band names My ex-boyfriend had a friend who referred to Lou Reed as "Lous Reeds". I used to know someone who called Poison Idea "Poison Ideal"; in fact, he could NOT say the word Idea, only Ideal. Here in north suburban Boston, we say "idear". Andrea "Jones, Lisa" wrote: This reminds me of my friend Phast Phreddie who has a number of vernacular tics I find highly entertaining. One of them is to ALWAYS refer to bands as The ________s, even if they aren't. For example, he once road managed The Redd Krosses and I remember him talking about The Sonic Youths. The other one that comes to mind is that to him, every animal - regardless - is a dog. lisa - --------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Jan 2001 22:35:23 From: "tiemen kuipers" Subject: Re: Gear Fab? ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V2001 #27 **************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
