Yeah, the Monks' earlier incarnation as the Five Torquays is cross referenced with the California surf band, the Torquays.

I thought the rest of it veered into cheesy cabaret territory (Here be monsters!). Whereas the original Rutles LP from 1978 was spot-on and the whole package (film, book, album) brilliantly executed. As for the recent "Rutles" Xmas show here in London - well, this was a major let-down IMO and as a fellow audience member remarked to me afterwards, was "akin to watching The Grumbleweeds" (a low-grade UK cabaret act). The only members of the original band present were Innes and "Barry Wom" (drummer) - the restofem were faceless session musicians, swaying gently in the breeze as might the Shadows if you went to see them today. Granted, this show obviously wasn't aimed at a rock-n-roll audience, but I think it was when they wheeled out an uncomfortable-looking Barry Cryer (comedy writer) and then (get this) Nigel Planer, STILL playing his "Neil" in the Young Ones character, both to "do turns", that all credibility went out the window. I squirmed at that point. Ho hum. The Mole From the Ministry pp. Phil Dil ">God, really?? I LOVED that album.

You'll need to dig that late-60s jazz-rock crossover feel coz that's what it's about here: Lots of tenor, vibes and Hammond, backed by the Manfreds rhythm section, mostly playing covers I think. Since the original album was only about 30 mins long, the CD reissue (digipack) you mention included both the mono and stereo versions of the LP.

This reminds me of something they had at, I think, the old Ritz (on 11th St.) around '88 or so: Joey Ramone's Glitter-Acid Rock'n'Roll Trash Ball Extravaganza... Uh, or something like that. I remember The Waldos being on the bill, and I think The Chesterfield Kings might've graced the stage, as well, tho' I wouldn't swear to it. But the funny part was the "Slut Beauty Pageant". A bunch of girls from the audience getting on stage and getting down to skimpy parts of their outfit. The audience was supposed to vote a winner. Meanwhile, a girl from the audience who hadn't been picked (and was outdoing them all) made her way to the stage just as they were giving the award to a girl who proclaimed upon winning, "I'm not really a slut". The new one seemed more than happy to be known as such. Then came the guy from the side of the stage who seemed to be pulling his pants down as he came out.

Despite my fondness for my home of Ann Arbor, MI (stomping grounds of the Rationals, MC5 and Stooges), we also have to take credit for the cheesy All Music Guide, which is headquartered here. But dig this - it was started some years back by one Michael Erlewine, a founding member of local garage blues band The Prime Movers. Between the Iguanas and the Stooges, none other than Iggy Pop beat the skins for them. There is a photo of Iggy as a Prime Mover on the web, along with Erlewine's account of their career: http://home.att.net/~s.m.geer/bands.htm (it takes a while to load and you have to scroll way down to see the photo - but the other info on the page is quite interesting for Michigan 60s Rock fans) A couple of years ago a local newspaper printed an article on the AMG, and described how Erlewine was basically screwed out of the business he'd founded and now is no longer involved. From what I hear about the AMG, it relies on hungry post-college folks who are willing to work for very little to get a music writing gig - which probably explains the uneven quality.

That comes in handy as with my abundance of '60s beat and garage, I have quite a selection of crunchy mono rock and roll that sounds the same no matter what speaker. I drive about 6-8 hours a night as a delivery driver, so I make sure to bring a good number of comps along with me (I have a Sony Walkman that I hook up to my cassette deck). Right now, I happen to have "The Hollies At Abbey Road 1963-66" in my player. I especially like stuff that puzzles my coworkers as I pull in from a delivery. One night I came back blaring "Paralyzed" by the Legendary Stardust Cowboy, and you should have seen one of the guys looking around for whoever was doing all that screaming. By the way, the song that did in my speaker was "So What!!" by the Lyrics!

Jerry Wick Probably the reason people are asking about Ram Jam is because "Black Betty" is included on that new TV comp "Goin' South" (which includes some questionable tracks like "Rocky Mountain Way" by Joe Walsh...I mean maybe he was with the Eagles, but he's certainly not southern rock...how far south _is_ Cleveland?). My interest in Ram Jam goes only so far in that founder Bill Bartlett was the guitarist for the Lemon Pipers...which makes two Ohioans on a southern rock comp? Speaking of Ohio musicians, it was a shame to hear about Jerry Wick from Gaunt. I wasn't too familiar with Gaunt, although I liked what I had heard. I have a friend who counted Wick as an acquaintance. I haven't talked to him so I have to wonder what his take on Wick's death is.

The Escorts later singles all had a sort of Motown feel to them, like "Head To Toe" and "Night Time" (the latter written by Liverpudlian Paddy Chambers). The Escorts first single of "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" could be mistaken for an American teenage garage band with just the right snotty vocals. The flipside, "All I Want Is You" was also an Escorts original, later covered by the Swinging Blue Jeans. I highly recommend their Edsel comp "From The Blue Angel," although it only contains 12 songs, all are killer Merseybeat.

I've heard so many of their tracks spread around. "Stop! Get A Ticket" of course is now a Nuggets classic, and I have their Date 45 of the same complete with stock company sleeve and jukebox title strips. The flipside "First Tell Me Why" is rather pedestrian folk rock. Two Clefs songs really blow me away. "So I'll Try" is on Sony Special Products disc "Have A Nice Life" and has great harmonies. It's so great, I will forgive them for nicking the style from "I Still Love You" by the Vejtables. I am still regretting my reluctance to pay $12 for the single of "It Won't Be Long" b/w "Play With Fire" at a record show. Killer versions of the Stones hit and a relatively obscure Beatles album track. The latter is probably even better than the original. Somebody else snatched up that single at some point and I'm sure they're enjoying the hell out of it... How many Clefs Of Lavendar Hill singles actually came out?? And what is the likelihood of stuff in the vaults?

I've been hearing about it for several years now, and it was supposedly close to ready for release. 50% unreleased tracks, 75% from the master tapes. I even sent some copies of local newspaper ads for several of the bands featured. So far, I've heard nothing about it coming out.

I have a rough cd of twelve Tropics tunes, including For a Long Time, but the quality is not great. I also bought a Tropics sampler from Tropics' bassist Charlie Souza at his website, but it's all rerecorded stuff. Not bad, but not so great. If you want a tape of what I have, which I think is about all they ever recorded, let me know off list.

As Jan stated there are a number of economic/socio/political reasons for this that differ from country to country, same goes for completely different retail systems around the world (FI; US stores can return their unsold stock to suppliers, something that is definitely not the case over her), but you don't wanna go into detail here, fine, simple conclusion; different countries = different economies = different prices (once the global village becomes fact this will obviously all be in the past and we'll all be at the mercy of Sony and BMG). One thing tho', and that was what really offended me in your first post, was the idea the "certain shops" mark up their prices in an attempt to rake in the money because their costumers had little or no choice in obtaining their records elsewhere and hinting to the fact that such was common practice at my favorite record shop. This is definitely NOT the case. Obviously the entire record bizz ain't no charity (far from it), and as stated before there are mouths to be fed/rent to be paid, etc etc. As for my own shop; yep, we sell a lot of crap (but not THAT much), but that same crap makes it possible to also stock a large amount of blues and soul music that's hard to find anywhere else these days, it also provides a home for lost souls like Jan, and maybe one day it will lead him away from the evils of symphonic rock and other such nonsense that he insists on buying even when warned beforehand. Clear enough ?, Jeroen ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2001 15:33:04 -0500 From: "Laura Markley" Subject: Cousin Brucie show I listened a bit to the Cousin Brucie show on Real Audio. The Gillette commercial's music reminded me of the Shocking Blue. Great organ! "He's got the knack/he's got the Knack/The light new razor from Gillette/long, tapered handle/opens and shuts with a twist/shave with the flick of the wrist". The Hai Karate one was funny, too, with the ultra serious narrator saying "Hai Karate after shave and cologne presents: sounds in self defense, or, how to make scary sounding noises in case your girl loses her head over your Hai Karate. When your girl clutches at you at a disco, wedding reception or square dance. Use in conjunction with the printed instructions inside every box of Hai Karate. (Martial arts Bruce Lee type noises follow).. Hai Karate - - be careful how you use it!" How about the ad for Carnation Instant Breakfast where they say "Put the magic ingredient in your day - THC, Take Home Carnation" (are they implying what I THINK they are??). News bits on Vietnam War and Appollo pre launch exercises were interesting too. Cousin Brucie seems a little Manic! Crazy Eddie style. >>Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2001 21:16:11 -0500 From: "Jeffrey Lemlich" Subject: Cousin Brucie air check That "Knack" spot WAS pretty cool. And it was great to hear the Thom McAn "Do Your Own Thing" song again. That was a REAL song, written by Lieber & Stoller, and recorded by Brook Benton (as "Do Your Own Thing") on Cotillion 44007. J.
