Great stuff. IMHO it has a Hippy-Mod vibe with that flute weaving in and out of each soulful track. "Handbags and Gladrags" is one of the best versions I have heard, as for "Temptation 'Bout To Get Me" ...WOW! The picture of the band on the back looks like a total throwback to '65 which is funny 'cause the album came out around '70. This is the album that Paul Weller always threatens to make.

What was next? Something with one of those typically pretentious sounding titles from 1969 by the pretentions sounding Aphrodite's Child, but actually pretty good once I gave it a spin. This is that Greek guy who had a few hits in the 70s, yeah? Also a version of "Sweet Little 16", this one by Michael Cox (on HMV) but it's an RGM (ie. Joe Meek) production so you gotta go for it, eh?

When you consider what else was going on in rock circa 1969-70---extreme bubblepop on the left, "serious" hippie music on the right---you will then realize that the Rationals' LP is an asskicker for its day, as much of a Detroit manifesto as the Stooges or the MC 5 or even the Bob Seger System. The only acoustic guitar I remember from the LP is during the between-song interludes. I totally agree with the Small Faces analogy...that is, if Marriott were still a member, they would sound like this. Freddy Fortune (of Fortune & Maltese) once straightfacedly asked me why I liked that album so much...for starters, the only other original Rationals record I've been able to find (in a city as big as Chicago) is a Cameo 45 of "Respect" b/w "Feelin' Lost." As you can see, I don't have much to compare it to, but on its' own, the Crewe elpee is great. Garage fans tend to avoid this LP like a bad disease, but this ain't the goddam Candymen---for the Woodstock era, the Rationals' LP has a lot of truth, soul and energy in its grooves. The average Deadhead would get a cardiac arrest trying to "trance-dance" to THIS. Besides, gotta love that cover---here it is 1969, and they still dress like 1966! Like they're auditioning for the Monkees or something! Now, what I wanna know is: that live album on Total Energy (?). I've had my eye on it, but there are only six songs...six LONG songs...is it rock-solid Detroit music, or just a bunch of hippie jamming?

Put it this way - ALL of the 45's you have for trade wouldn't cover ONE of your wants (with maybe 5 exceptions) I have a mint minus copy of the Clock Work Orange 45 on Creole for trade. It USED to be a $75 record, but copies have dried up and a few have sold for over $200. If you're not aware of the high values, I hope I've enlightened you. If you do know how rare and difficult your wants are, and you're tryin to bait some no-nothing, well, good luck. Don't think you'll find anyone on this list that dumb.

Greg Shaw responded: >Not to mention that Dennis Ganim >released the first Blues Magoos single, on >his Ganim label, and went on to become >an industry mogul of sorts... Well, Greg, the Ganim single was done in 1969, after the original lineup of the Blues Magoos split up. This was just prior to the Peppy Castro regrouping when they signed with ABC records. The Ganim single is from June, 1969. Very HEAVY sounding take of "Who Do You Love'. Maybe Doug Sheppard would re-evaluate his Magoos stance on hearing this single.

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. Lisa, I saw these guys play three times in New Haven, CT where I live back in '86-88. I bought their LP when it came out, and I couldn't believe how bad it SUCKED! VERY slick, synthy-sounding...NOTHING like their live shows. I thought these guys were incredible live. I got to talk with a few of the guys in the group after the show. The first time I saw them, I was floored. One of the best sets of 60's garage I've ever heard. Lots of energy, and could these guys SING! They covered "Little Girl" by the Syndicate of Sound (No one else has come close to doing this justice), and "Walk In The Sun" by the Turtles, which blew me away, I mean, who in 1986 would cover that track? Every other garage combo was playing "City Of People", "Good Times" "I Never Loved Her"...The Malarians second show in New Haven took place on a Tuesday night in the winter. There were maybe 20 people in the club. But the Malarians did two long sets. Their singer kinda reminded me of the singer for the UK band Madness - that quirky body movement, except with a moptop haircut and Buddy Holly syled specs. They all wore black turtlenecks and white levis with boots. The Malarians, along with the Hysteric Narcotics, were two of the best garage bands I've ever seen live (and yes, that includes the big name crews like the Lyres and C. Kings).

A KILLER soul cut. Dunno if it's on any soul comp or not. The Hesitations released several 45's on the Kapp label, with this one being their best from May 1967. Also included on their 'Soul Superman' LP.

Kings). I remember seeing The Malarians at a Mind's Eye show at the old Tramps in the late 80s. As I remember, they *were* pretty damned good, but when I heard the record I, like Mike, was... uh, unimpressed. The Hysteric Narcotics I liked better in both respects. They were fun live and on their record they had some damn good songs. ("Monkey Bars" still runs around in my mind from time to time.) But I'd still pick the Lyres and the Kings live. Seeing either one in NYC (or at Maxwells in Hoboken) in the mid-80s was absolutely phenomenal. For that matter, seeing either one up at Scorgie's in Rochester during the same time period was also pretty damned mindblowing. Sometimes I wonder if certain bands would've gotten to the same level as the C. Kings and The Lyres if the 80s garage boom had lasted a bit longer. (Note: as far as I was concerned, by the time The Dive closed in '86, the NYC scene was falling apart.) Hmm... perhaps this is another thread in itself. - - Blair ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2001 15:58:35 -0500 From: "Jeffrey Mlinscek" Subject: Fw: Standells Sundazed cds From: "SJ Bink" wrote: > > Hi, > > Can anyone tell me which bonustracks are on the Sundazed > cdreissues of the Standells albums.

Uh, yeah sure, and all their customers are morrons. If you are apparently smart enough to buy your records at a better price elsewhere, don't you think that most of Da Capo's clientele 'd do the same if given the chance?. The possibilities of obtaining music these days are limitless, don't you think that overpricing records would run one straight outta business?. Truth is that most Mainland-European currencies took a nosedive against both the dollar & pound since the introduction of the Euro , thus makin' imports way more expensive. (plus both countries have had a real healthy economy over the previous years, at least the americans were kind enough to elect Bush, and thus a guaranteed downfall of their economy and better import prices for us in the near future). Whatever the reason for the price difference of that Turkish comp, I dunno, but I get it wholesale at about 9 bucks (ex-tax, that is), so maybe your German pals need their calculator checked.... Anyways, I've been dealin' with Michel for almost 20 years now and never had the feelin' I'd been ripped off. As I'm also runnin' a record shop in the same town as he, I'd even go as far that in some areas he offers a better deal than I can ever do, and we're buyin' from the exact same wholesalers, so there. And another thing; if you have trouble with people or their policies please go and ask those people IN PERSON instead of mouthing off on some forum where they are obviously not part off and thus can not defend themselves.
