But instead in the first shelf of dusty oldies I check out is a very VG+ copy of Lee Dorsey's "Ya! Ya!" lp, Fury 1002, probably the most valuable and coolest thing I've found thrifting in a good long while. Nice new copy of T Rex's "The Slider", too (pitbull chewed up the corners on my old one) and a Wanda Jackson country record, Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" kind of beat up, and the old dude left without the Johnny Paycheck and John Lee Hooker so scored those, too. Plus some good budget bin stuff. Been one of those good months of thrifting when there's really all kinds of stuff to be found. 10 cent 45s at another shop included Esquivel, Arthur Lyman, Huey "Piano" Smith on ACE, Big Joe Turner, Marvin Rainwater, Orlons, Bill Monroe on Decca black label, some Starday gospel, Liberty white label demonstration record "Roadrunner/My Baby Don't Care" by the Gants, an awful HP Lovecraft, "Little Girl" by Syndicate of Sound (3rd one this year under 50 cents) and more stuff really too ddamn numerous to yammer on about. _________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2001 18:30:36 +1100 From: Craig Regan Subject: Rationals > > Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 18:33:54 EST > From: Euphorik6@aol.com > Subject: ravin about the rationals. > > ok, i borrowed a CD off a friend this weekend, the flash boot CD of the > rationals crewe LP & various assorted single tracks & rarities...i just had > to rave about how fucking GREAT this stuff is!!! wow. i have been blasting > the stereo all afternoon to this CD, man this is really, really great stuff!! > total high-energy mod-beat ravers...that's the singles, not the sorta > hippy-rock LP (which i also really liked) Yeah, Rob, right on! I just burned a CD from a tape (!) of the Fan Club album of Rats singles and the hard-to-find Crewe album. It lacks in the sound quality (being sourced from tape) but so what. Although a few of the mod-type singles are a bit disposable to my ears, the Crewe album is fantastic, thanks in no small part of Scott Morgan's vox. The guy really has one of the best voices around. There's a live album on Total Energy that finds them in transition from beat band to soulful R and B rockers, and it's pretty great too.

This album was booted, complete with color cover, a couple years ago. There were novelty 45s, not exactly rock songs, by Burgess Meredith and Frank Gorshin, in their Bat-villain personas. These were included, with other official Batman theme music, on a CD a few years ago that someboy like Varese Sarabende put out. The Sun Ra singles double-CD includes a few versions of a song that is ostensibly about Batman ("Watch Out For the Batman" or something?) There's another song called "Watch Out For the Batman" (I think) that Scotty McKay performs on-screen in the film CREATURE OF DESTRUCTION. And there was a song called "Look Out For the Batman" b/w "It's the Batman," which was released as a kid's 45 around 1966, complete with die-cut cardboard picture sleeve in the shape of Batman's face. It was part of a whole series of similarly-packaged Batman character records that were released, including one for Robin and the major villains. I had the Batman one, one side of which sounded vaguely like the Batman theme but also had the lyric "'Cause the Batman will get you if you don't watch out!", while "It's the Batman" was more of a kiddie marching record. It's one of the few records I ever had that I no longer have. I'm don't know where it went. Still hoping to hear the music of Super Hip someday... ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2001 00:59:24 -0800 From: "fbrandon" Subject: Re: superhero songs i'm surprised no one has mentioned "boy wonder i love you" by burt ward (robin himself) written and produced by frank zappa on MGM from the lates 60s - -----Original Message----- From: JOE ABRAMS To: bomp@xnet2.com Date: Saturday, January 20, 2001 10:58 PM Subject: Re: superhero songs > >Oh yeah- and does that bit count on the 2nd Ohio Express lp:" Hello, >Operator help this is Superman, I'm trapped in a phonebooth!" > > >>From: Euphorik6@aol.com >>Reply-To: bomp@xnet2.com >>To: bomp@xnet2.com >>Subject: superhero songs >>Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 18:37:28 EST >> >> >> 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 >> >>===> To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe bomp" to majordomo@xnet2.com <=== >> > >_________________________________________________________________ > >===> To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe bomp" to majordomo@xnet2.com <=== > ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V2001 #47 **************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
