PJ doth say: <> It's "You Are What You Eat", actually. And I don't blame you for wanting to check out the film if you've heard the soundtrack LP, which has some brilliant stuff on it. The film itself, however, is crap. There are a couple of amusing moments but it's basically an incredibly self-indulgent quick-cash-in montage of forgettable quotes, street scenes, and amateurishly staged "freak-outs".....the kind of nonsense you'd expect a clueless movie studio to try and foist on you in 1968.

Now HERE'S a guy who will never get enough credit, in my opinion. Folks, if you skipped over the "Green Tambourine" LP because you have no time for bubblegum pop, GET A COPY AT ONCE. The Lemon Pipers were another of those bands with Machiavellian producers/record companies that tried to twist them into something they weren't......now mind you, I LOVE most 60s shiny pop records, and the aforementioned LP contains a bumper crop of that.....but they also allowed the band to contribute a couple of their OWN songs.......one of which, "Stragglin' Behind" is a bluesy garage-rocker that just kicks ass (even if the vocal is a bit over-the-top).........but the REAL masterpiece is "Through With You", which closes the album.....and I humbly submit that it may well be the BEST undiscovered garage/psych pounder ever. "Undiscovered"....on a million-selling LP. How sad is THAT?? Sadder yet.....Bill Bartlett was profiled, for just a couple of brief seconds, on one of those VH-1 "Where Are They Now" thingys a few months back. I'm not absolutely sure, but I think he works for the post office now........or some courier service or something. His 12-string guitar work on "Through With You" will astound you.

This and the two covers were part of the album they recorded for Date, which unfortunately was never released. A few years back Doug Hanners had their long-lost Criteria demo up for auction, including their early song "You (Made Me Love You)". I don't know what it sold for, but it had to be a ton because I didn't win it, and it was the highest bid I've ever placed for a record. Travis was a genius songwriter. He's also responsible for "For A Long Time" (The Tropics), "Bucket Of Tears" (Squires V) and the Echoes of Carnaby Street single on Thames. One of the photos from their CBS/Date album photo shoot appears in my book SAVAGE LOST. <> I don't think Travis had heard the Vejtables. They both wrote with similar chords. Travis called them "English-sounding chords". He was a machine. His manager Steve Palmer had a tape with 30 or so Travis compositions, that he brought around to bands that recorded for his Thames or Blue Saint labels. The Tropics, Squires V, and Echoes of Carnaby Street chose the songs they did. Other bands probably did as well, but only recorded demos. The first Clefs-related single came out in '65 on Parrot by the Twilights. It's Bill and Fred Moss (with a bass player named Gordon). It was Steve Palmer who put the Moss brothers together with Travis & Coventry and named them the Clefs of Lavender Hill.

" Oh yeah, that's his thing. The funny thing about that old show, Laura, is that despite the dated news items and commercials, it was virtually indistinguishable to a Cousin Brucie radio show in 2001! He's now on the New York oldies station WCBS-FM, and he hasn't changed one bit. Same fast pace, corny jokes, still takes him an hour to get through one commercial, still opens the show with that famous tape of multiple voices shouting his name...'Cousin Brucie, Cousin Brucie, Cousin Brucie...' and still plays the Four Seasons' 'Come On Let's Go Go Go With Cousin Brucie' song EVERY show he does. Still calls everyone 'Cousin.' He's corny, but a very nice guy. I met him once. And he's a legend (for better or for worse. :>). I remember in the mid 1980s, a New York TV station aired 'Yellow Submarine' and Cousin Brucie was the host of the presentation, talking with people who worked on the film during 'commercial' breaks. But during one of these breaks, Brucie gave his long firsthand account and memories of the 1965 Shea Stadium concert (he's in the film of that concert, announcing 'What do you think of these fabulous Beatles? Let 'em hear it in the dressing room!' while we see Ringo smoking backstage, looking quite gone). I found this really out of place because the 1965 Beatles were so far removed from 1968's 'Yellow Submarine.'

Last week one of the stors I shop at got 2 used Manfred Mann CD's in. One was the 2 CD set " Bset of the EMI years " which sounded real nice and had all manner of kool pre Fontana stuff, but none of the Fontana stuff like " Mighty Quinn", " Happy Jack " etc which I was interested in getting also. The other was a Polygram TV collection which had all the hits from the EMI era and the Fontana era but it unfortunately sounded like someone had added a whole lotta extra echo in the mastering, very disappointing, so I went home thinking that maybe there's a decent comp with EMI and Fontana stuff both. Anyway before posting to the list here for help, I took a trip to the Bomp and Dead Flowers catalogs ( damn nothin !!! ) so I then wandered over to Amazon.com and found the following anthology/comp " All Manner of Menn '63-'69 and more ". It's a 2 CD set with 52 tracks, all the EMI and Fontana era goodies, some solo stuff as well, a neato book, super notes, nice cover too, and all digitally remastered just this past year, and it's from Raven Records as well. There's also a very positive review by some guy who bought one who seems pretty pleased with it as well.

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. I think "Stop Get A Ticket" blows in comparison to the flipside "First Tell Me Why" and the subsequent three 45's. I dunno, I always thought "Stop Get A Ticket" was an uninteresting pop song. My fave Clefs single is their cover of the Beatles "It Won't Be Long" with the Stones cover "Play With Fire" on the flipside. There are unissued tracks in the vaults. Jeff L. can tell you more, but the story is that CBS decided to put money behind promotion for the Cyrkle, and the Clefs stuff sat in the vaults.

I've updated it to include info on the past five years of bands, and it'll be published soon as a CD-ROM. The disc will have the entire 300-page book, 50 more feature articles, excerpts from fanzines, lots of extra reviews and photos...plus a 25-song audio compilation (as MP3s) and seven music videos (as QuickTime movies). I'll let you know the exact band line-up for the audio and video in a few days, as soon as the mastering is complete... Anyway, I wanted to offer fans, bands and record companies one last opportunity to send any update information to be considered for inclusion. This can be everything from discographies to band histories to Web links you think essential for garage & psych fans. The info should be sent to me as a Word file -- if it's small then e-mail is fine. If it's larger, please send to me on a PC-formatted diskette. Sorry, but I just don't have the time to transcribe paper letters -- the disc will be done very soon! Take a look at my "Garage Nation" web site for more information, and I'll e-mail soon with more info on the CD-ROM's progress and contents.

You can have a lot of fun w/ Babelfish! I took some reviews, then translated them into different languages and back into English and here's the results. First are the real reviews, done for Hit List mag, then the translated ones: ROLLING STONES "Unreleased Decca Live Album 1972" CD Although originally issued six years ago, I think this is a recent reissue. Apparently this was, as the title suggests, a live album cut over three nights, at three different shows, in three different cities. The release was then squashed when the STONES left Decca forever. It captures the band on their "Exile On Main Street" tour, all rough and ragged, replete with a well-utilized horn section on a few songs. For the most part, this is amazing sound quality, which isn't surprising since it was professionally recorded for an intended release. Unfortunately, on my copy at least there is some odd "clicking" and "popping", and sound dropouts during parts of the last three songs, which is a shame since the band really cuts loose on these numbers! That aside, this CD. The band just rocks, plain and simple. (AW) (Stonehenge, no address) THIRD BARDO 10" EP A great slab of wax collecting up all the known recorded works by this legendary Long Island psych-punk band. "I'm Five Years Ahead Of My Time" is an absolute stunner, but other tunes like "I Can Understand Your Problem," "Rainbow Life," "Lose Your Mind" and "Dawn Of Tomorrow" are all of almost equal caliber. (AW) (Sundazed/ P.O. Box 85/Cocksacie, NY/12501) REMAINS 10" EP Another great Sundazed 10" vinyl gem, this time featuring Boston's amazing Remains. A great set of raunchy, R&B-soaked '60s garage-rock featuring a previously unissued take of "All Good Things," plus five other tunes that make their first ever appearance on wax! To paraphrase the liner notes, these are all absolute gems! (AW) (Sundazed/ P.O. Box 85/Cocksacie, NY/12501) V.A. "Outlaws In My Eye, Texas!" CD Sort of a CD version of "Bloodstains Across Texas" and "Deep In The Throat Of Texas," but with stuff not on either of those. Great selection of rare and raw tracks from the likes of the VAMPS, OFFENDERS, STAINS, REALLY RED, SKUNKS, BOBBY SOXX, NERVEBREAKERS, VOMIT PIGS, HUNS and more. Some odd typos on the song list make for humorous retitling as in AK47's "The Badge Means You Suck" which they call "The Badge Men You Suck." Now that could change the meaning of the song entirely! (AW) VARIOUS "Aliens, Psychos & Wild Things" CD This is one of the greatest, craziest, most wigged-out comps of '60s garage band relics I've ever heard! The bands on this regional outing all hailed from Virginia or the Carolinas, and the incredibly detailed booklet tells you all about them. All of this is primo stuff, with rockin' contributions (five of which have never been released before) from bands like the WILD CHERRIES, SWINGING MACHINE, PROVERBIAL KNEE HI'S, BEACHNUTS, as well as three bands which lent inspiration to the title, the ALIENS, PSYCHOS and WILD THINGS. Do not, I repeat, do not pass this up if you see it! (AW) (Arcanta Intl./P.O. Box 194/Charlottesville, VA/22902) ROLLING the STONY " CD of album 1972 of the phase of Unreleased Decca ", although it is brought originally towards outside before six years, I think that it is a new new editing. It was obvious, as the title suggests, more than three nights an album of the phase cut in three other exhibitions in three other cities. The version was in a hurry if PIERRE always left Decca. It takes to the prisoner of the tape in them " travels of the exiles in absolutely rougher and the main street of loqueteux " filled surrounds the section of utilisée well a horn in some songs. For the majority it is a quality of his to surprise, that does not surprise, since one placed vocacional for certain version. Unfortunately in my copy at least it gives the ramification " to more cliqueter " uneven and and references of the noise during the sections of the three last songs " ", that are one deshonra, since the short tape really freely in these numbers! From this CD. The rock, level and the simple one of the right tape. (aw) (Stonehenge, no address), THIRD great BARD 10 " galette of the EP Wachsa, that satisfies upwards, all the registered work, this long legendary punk of psych of the tape of the island admits is " I is to divide five years before my time " is absolute of assommeur, but of the other air like " I its problem, " " the life of the rainbow knows understands that " " it destroys his alcohol " and " the man¢ana tomorrow-gray " is all that the almost same calibers. (aw) (rectangle 85/cocksacie of sundazed/p. or, NY/12501) 10 REST of " gemme VINYLEP other 10 great Sundazed " this mark, that covers the amazing rest with Boston. A whole garage great Roche raunchy of R&B soaked ' 60s, the one that is not brought outside grasping " that all the good five beforehand things cover " the other air, that make their first aspect in the wax! Around cover notes they paraphrasieren there is all the absolute jewels! (aw) (rectangle 85/cocksacie of sundazed/p. or, NY/12501) VV.a. " forbids in my eye, which covers bricks!

Some unequal typesetters in the list of the song version at the transfer retitling as in AK47 ' s " the means of the symbol strive you " those the men, who inhaliert from the symbol the " call of the hour " those the meaning of the whole song modify could!
