Unlike most modern-day garage bands, they looked old enough to have lived through the NUGGETS era. They started out fine, but took a wrong turn midset and started doing these extended jams. I'd mention their name, except (a) I forgot, and (b) no one on this list would know 'em anyway. I don't think they ever did anything significant. I saw the Loved Ones open for fellow Hightone artist Dick Dale back in '94. While it wasn't necessarily atrocious, I was wondering what the fuss was about. (I'm referring to the Loved Ones, but truthfully Dick Dale was beginning to suck around this time period, as well.)

Coming up in about a month, also at Ralph's will be Mondo Topless, The Downbeat 5, and The Nines Worth a return trip! Hope to see some of ya there.

First you wrote this, subject: 45rpm Want List: >>Hey Bompers, Anyone willing to part with the following 45s? Have a look at my trade list at: ORIGINAL (!!!!( 45s Wanted ADAM - Eve/Where Has My Little Girl Gone - Mala + 66 (!!!) other 45's ZOOFS - Not So Near/Get To Know Yourself - Deesu<< To which Mop Top Mike commented: >>Well, Joe, I hope you have a LOT of $$$ to buy these 45's you list. Just about all of those Texas and Louisianna 45's have a hefty price tag on 'em. 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.<< And I wonder if he found his tongue again, the thing being buried so deep in cheek..... To which you snapped back with: >>Hey MopTop, Geesh! Sorry if my meager trade list offended the eyes of a guru! Nobody trying to do any baiting. Just putting it out there and maybe garner some interest. Guess I should sell off my collection and dry up and blow away, cause I'll just never, ever, ever find any of these 45s. In reality I should have posted that I would also be willing to purchase or sell. Or maybe, this list is not the place for posting want lists?<< Joe, Lemme first state, that I have absolutely no idea of prices I'd have to pay for 60's 45's, especially not originals! But I read a lot of insane prices here on the list and sometimes pay insane prices (that are still only a fraction of prices I read here...) for records I really, really want. So when I saw your wishlist the first thing that crossed my mind was: "Hell, here's an ambitious guy!" My second thought, after more close exminiation of your list, was: "Fuck! here's another rich bitch!" Then Mike gave his, no doubt well-meant, comment, after which I had me a third thought: "Joe is even more ignorant about prices than I am!!" (which is a reassuring thought as well.... LOL!!!). And after your reaction I'm sure about the last thought I had: "Joe can't recognize friendly advice!" Hell! I would be glad to get those songs on samplers, I wouldn't even dream of getting 45's, originals or even reissues, without running a serious risk of going broke. I'm glad with a neighbour who, even after I told him how rare that Rolling Stones' "Time is on my side" organ-version 45 could be, was still willing to just give it to me, in exchange for a cd with his 4 early 60's John Coltrane 45's and 2 late 50's Sonny Rollins 45's, which are all mine now as well... Oh, he also gave me a pile of original Beatles' 45's, Zappa's "It can't happen here" and some 40 other 60's 45's and he still doesn't wanna know what they're worth. Guess I don't want to either... That's it, almost 8, time to prepare to go to work... L8er, Jan (listening to Eddie Holland's "Leaving here"!!! Really!!!) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2001 10:36:10 +0100 From: "Jan Herman Veldkamp" Subject: RE: Garage in the Netherlands Jeroen, There is no reason to be so unfriendly.

You must mean Mr Ron Decline. The whole Rutles film is essential viewing, and it still surprises me how cleverly it was done. Just one of the best moment IMO is the sequence with the blues singer (Blind Lemon Pie?) in New Orleans, who says he taught the "Rittles" everything they knew - that is, until his missus comes out of the house to tell the camera "He's lyin! Every time there's a documentary 'bout white music round here, HE claims HE started it! Last week it was the Everly Brothers" hysterical I have to say though that for me, the attempts to revive the Rutles haven't been too great, I found their follow-up LP ("Archaeology") mediocre at best, and I had a freebie to go see Innes & co at their Xmas gig as reviewed in this month's Mojo mag, and I have to say that's a VERY kind review IMO. It was a bit of a travesty. Shame.
