I'm surprised the ISP hasn't taken that page down since it's not being paid for... I was talking to Tim a while ago about a web site, trying to convince him to set one up listing all of their stuff. He wasn't too thrilled with the idea (various reasons). Hopefully they'll decide to do something soon. In the meantime, I know you can buy a lot of the Crypt catalog online at www.midheaven.com. kopper =================================================================== THE WAYBACK MACHINE: Breeding Discontent on the Airwaves Since 1995 43,000 watts of trashy garage punk'n'roll, R&B, surf, & rockabilly Saturday nights: Midnight-2am (CST) KDHX-FM 88.1, St. Louis, MO For more info check our Web site: http://listen.to/wayback-machine Live netcast in RealAudio: http://www.kdhx.org/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2001 00:22:36 EST From: Planckzoo@aol.com Subject: Yardbirds Here is the current Yardbirds website http://members.aol.com/YardbirdUK/index.html I think Gypie Mayo from Dr.Feelgood is in the Band at this point.

I asked him which one because I always hold on to some vague hope that a person might have been in some obscure '60s band. (Past experience in this type of conversation usually reveals that the person played in some boogie bar band that opened once for the Doobie Brothers or Triumph in the '70s.) The security guard responded, "The Buckinghams, I was the keyboard player--"Kind of a Drag" was our biggest hit." I think I said, "No Way" out of real surprise. He brought out a small wallet-sized very '64 Beatles-eque b&w photo of the young Buckinghams. In the photo, there he was as a young mop top standing behind a Vox Continental organ. The daytime security guard at the office building where I currently work is Dennis Tufano--who was the lead singer of the Buckinghams in a past job. I mentioned something about Vox Continental and the Farfisa and he asked me how I knew about such things and if I was musician. I told him I was not a musician, but I try to play guitar and I'm into the sound and music history of the mid-sixties. Dennis said he had been living up in Reno for the past 10 years and playing in a casino band called Dennis & the Downbeats. He said his wife recently got a job transfer down here (Phoenix, AZ) and his latest version of Dennis & the Downbeats just finished up playing a residency in an Italian restaurant located in a strip mall on the Tempe/Chandler border. I then told him that I saw the Buckinghams at an outdoor (Saginaw) "River Roar" festival in Bay City, MI in 1996. He said that he was not (and never) part of the group that lead guitarist Carl Giammarese has been calling "The Buckinghams" on the oldies circuit. I asked if he was aware that Sundazed has re-issued "Time & Changes/Portraits" and he responded that he was only familiar with the Columbia-Legacy CD collection that he buys for Christmas gifts. (As other employees were walking back and forth behind us in autopilot from car to cubical, here we were discussing the American cultural/musical experience of the last 40 years!) Finally, we ended up the conversation with mentions of Art Roberts, WLS, the Cryan' Shames, Shadows of Knight, the Luv'd Ones, Larry Lujack, WCFL, and the New Colony Six. I had to get back to my computer before the boss started lurking around and he had to get back to his security guarding. Leaving the front security area, I said, "you're going have to tell me some more." "I sure will," answered Dennis. Tomorrow I going to give him a copy of the most recent Sundazed Tymes catalog and mention a story I read in one of the re-printed editions of "KRLA Beat." According to a 1967 story: Dennis was in a New York City "mod shop" and got so excited shopping that he walked out of the store, forgetting to pay for the $65 bundle of mod clothes.

The last volume I got (on CD) was volume #16 (or 14) I think, although several of the earlier volumes simply didn't come out at all! The sound on all of them is very muted - in fact, one of mine doesn't even play! Such was the quality control of Music Maniac. I advise you to give them a miss - the best tracks will all come out else where (MARK my words on this); in fact many have already been re-reissued on the somewhat better Teenage Shutdown series. - -Peter M ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 01 16:40:08 +1100 From: Subject: Re: Rational remastering >> speaking of the rationals, how is their fan club lp? it was just booted on cd > >> and i was curious if it's worth snaggin'...

Hi, I'm new here but I thought this would be a good time to jump in. David Roter is the writer (say that 5 times fast.lol) of "Joan Crawford has risen from the grave". The David Roter Method consists of: J & A Bouchard -of B.O.C., Adny Schernoff - of the Dictators, and a "J Rigg" is also playing with them. If this is Jerry Rigg formerly of the Riggs, he's an amazing guitarist. If not,I'm sure that J.Rigg is a fine musician as well. Thanks for your time.

A great show with the band dancing and partying before and after their show. A Great time!! > from AMG website: Featuring former members of '60s psychedelic band John's Children â€" vocalist Andy Ellison â€" and quirky, humorous new wave pop/rockers Sparks â€" bassist/songwriter Martin Gordon â€" the Radio Stars often came off as a cross between the two bands. Also including guitarist Ian McLeod (along with Ellison and Gordon, a former member of Jet) and drummer Steve Parry, the Radio Stars recorded two albums, 1977's Songs for Swinging Lovers and 1978's Holiday Album , for Chiswick. Trevor White joined the band in 1978, but Gordon soon left, leading to the Radio Stars' breakup in 1979. Ellison and White worked together periodically, and Ellison also attempted to revive the Radio Stars' name without success Check out the Fuzz,Flaykes & Shakes website http://members.xoom.com/TonytheTyger ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2001 04:05:57 EST From: DaGreasyChicken@aol.com Subject: Re: Do You Wanna Dance --- SHBEVLON1@aol.com wrote:> > Who originally did this song? >>noisejunkie@rocketmail.com writes:<< Bobby Freeman 1958, I believe.
