Da Capo is great shop and i used to buy lot of records there, but the prices are getting higher and higher, and that's with almost all shops here in holland. if you just go 100km accross the broder to germany you can find the same records 5 US$, or even more cheaper. i really don't understand why they have such high prices here. i go to Cologne and pay room in hotel for 2 nights, buy some records and i spend the same money i would spend here only buying records. people in record shops here put high prices on records just because they know they will sell them - specially 60s reissues. there is only 1 shop with normal prices in amsterdam, but they don't have such big choice of 60s reissues. the best example is Turkish Delights LP. in Da Capo this lp costs 16 US$ and in germany it's 11 US$. Turkish Delights lp is released in holland and guy who did it knows Michel personally and brings it to him to shop. i just don't understand how they have it in germany for lower price??!!!!?? vanya _______________________________________________ No Brains zine: http://www.geocities.com/no_brains_zine/ Rare Jugobeat 7"s for trade: http://www.geocities.com/nobrains_records/ Jugobeat - 60s punk and beat from ex Yugoslavia: http://www.geocities.com/nobrains00/YU60s.htm Garage punk from ex Yugoslav countries: http://www.geocities.com/nobrains_garage/ _______________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 12:43:00 -0600 From: Jeff Kopp Subject: Re: The Moviees on 1/20/01 4:01 AM, Nancyneon01@aol.com wrote: > I'm glad WFMU is playing 'em.

The Missings Links were described thus "If The Easybeats are The Beatles and The Who,The Missing Links are the Rolling Stones." Peter of Australia countered "The Missing Links are the Pretty Things and Q65 of Oz!" With such high praise,I was eager to get this thing. The Missing Links exceeded my highest expectations.This CD on Half A Cow Records has 28 tracks and a very groovy 40 page booklet crammed with pix . The hard thing is getting past the first song , "Wild About You",their second single. This song KILLS! The music is so raw and primitive and Andy James' vocal is pure savagery. And those lyrics,they're classic:"You look so good I could eatcha/But I wouldn't kiss a steak/So I won't eat you!" The Chesterfield Kings do a cool version of this on their video THE GOOD,THE BAD,AND THE UGLY Volume 2. The Saints also did this on their first album.Though the song is creditted to "unknown",singer/madman,Andy James penned this slice of dementia. Other faves of mine are the first single "You're Drivin' Me Insane" and two versions of "All I Want" which are both cool in their own way,but the crashing tambourine and mad vocal(s)push the balance in favor of the,previously unreleased, 1st lineup's version. If you can't find this in your favorite record emporium,go to www.halfacow.com.au It's not surprising that wildman,Andy James had a brain hemorrage during a gig. This one will make your head explode!!!--Nancy Neon ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 15:38:48 -0600 From: "Mike Dugo" Subject: Soulbenders >>Has anyone else heard the Soulbenders reissue?

"feelin lost" reminds me a little of help-era beatles, with that great firecracker "cant explain" style drumming. "sing" is just amazing, all of these songs have incredible powefully soulful singing from scott morgan, very similar to steve marriott & the backup harmonies are also really excellent, great harmonies, firecracker drumming, and amazing crunchy guitar. i am just blown away by this band! all i really knew of them before was "i need you" on the nuggets box, which i thought was OK, but then i started getting stuff off napster, like "leavin here" and "feelin lost" & "little girls cry." it's a shame that the early stuff is licensed to cameo-parkway & doesn't really have a fair chance of being heard. i'm not often given to slinging around hyperbole like this, but these guys were just amazing, and without doubt one of the very best american bands from the 60s i've ever heard. if you dig the high-energy detroit stuff, early who, small faces & 65-ish beatles, you gotta hear this stuff!! it's just great . what does everybody think of the crewe LP? i dug it, in its own way, as much as i did the singles. lotsa acoustic guitar, more great singing & those harmonies...definitely in the hippy-rock vein, but no stupid flower-power stuff...maybe if the small faces had survived intact into the early 70s (with marriott, i mean) they might have sounded something like this....kinda acoutic, pastoral but still soulful and ballsy. what the concensus on the LP?? i liked it, i'm curious if everyone else does. these guys were fantastic!! sorry, had to rave. i feel better now. rob ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 18:37:28 EST From: Euphorik6@aol.com Subject: superhero songs i would appreciate some help on this - i am making a CD for a comic book-obsessed friend of mine, and am trying to come up with as many sixties or sixties-inspired superhero songs as i can think of. heres what i have so far: superman - the clique sunshine superman - donovan batman - the who, link wray, the kinks nobody loves the hulk - the not quite (thanks maureen!!) any more suggestions??? thanks - rob ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 19:04:12 -0500 From: "BlackMonk \(Tom,as always\)" Subject: Re: superhero songs > > i would appreciate some help on this - i am making a CD for a comic > book-obsessed friend of mine, and am trying to come up with as many sixties > or sixties-inspired superhero songs as i can think of. heres what i have so > far: > > superman - the clique > sunshine superman - donovan > batman - the who, link wray, the kinks > nobody loves the hulk - the not quite (thanks maureen!!) > > any more suggestions???

And that has spawned yet another attempt at making a new workout tape, so I was pulling out some of my moldy oldies, and THAT brings me to something that's been bugging me for about 14 years now. So, back in the S.F. days, I picked up 2 records by a band called the Malarians. Umm, this woulda been '87-'88 or so and one of the records (an ep to be exact, I think) has this KILLER instrumental called "Hexon Blood Beat" that I love (love love). Which brings me to my question: Who the hell were (I'm assuming that's a past tense) these guys?? I got as far as learning they were a Boston band, and there's some early Bomp-era Dwarves connection, but beyond that I know nada. With all the Boston folks on this list, I figure someone knows more than I do. Are these guys still playing in any capacity? Were they any good live? Just curious.

I only have the single released from it which features a version of Batman Theme that's extremely similar (if not an outright copy) of The Marketts' version on Warner Brothers. That's on the A side of the single, while Robin's Theme is on the B. I've been told that the extremely frenzied guitar solo on this song is by Sun Ra.) > nobody loves the hulk - the not quite Umm, are you sure you don't mean "Nobody Loves The Hulk" by The Traits?

Marvel put out "Rock Reflections of Super Hero" with 70's AOR songs about Spider Man/Peter Parker. It is truly unlistenable. The New York Dolls covered "Courageous Cat" (who was created by Bob Kane of Batman fame). Then you have the Go-Nuts, who are actually snack superheros in their own right. Flaming Lips have "Waiting For A Superman". Spin Doctors (yuck) do "Jimmy Olsen Blues" The Makers have a song called "The Red Headed Beatle of 1,000 BC" which is named after a Jimmy Olsen comic book story from the 60's (natch).

A band called the Shame Idols did a great one called "Superman". The lyrics go "We're tired of Superman/He's a panty-wasted creep/He beats us up for the fun of it/It's time we got him off the street....and so on! It's a really great puky tune.

"Robin Boy Wonder" - Robin, on The Big Freeze #2 A British group called Icarus recorded an entire album based on Marvel comics characters in 1972, "The Marvel World of Icarus," that I'd like to hear sometime.

One time I tracked down someone who worked on this album (an engineer? his name escapes me now (Ed Knowlton? or something like that?). I remember he told me it was produced by Tom Wilson and featured Danny Kalb and Al Kooper of the Blues Project...and yes, Herman Blount (alias "Sun Ra") is also on this one. The twangy-surfy instrumentals have names like "Penguin's Umbrella," "Penguin Chase," " Flight of the Batman" and (my favorite) "Batman and Robin Swing."...if anyone's interested in more info, I can do a little more digging and find the tape...
