"Could Be We're In Love" practically DEFINES summertime for me, along with "I Wanna Meet You"....I could go on and on. And if you ever wanna give a real garage/psych fan a heart attack, play him or her "Greenburg Glickstein etc." and don't tell 'em who it is. It's also correct that those three LPs are pretty easy to find....but for anyone who doesn't have the time or inclination to chase 'em down, I'll point you to the Sony Legacy CD best-o' from a few years back. Bob Irwin assembled it, and what ELSE do I need to tell you? But, for details....they manage to include pretty much everything you really need, including that 45 version of "Mr. Unreliable." One beef: the CD does focus solely on the sunshiney stuff (except for "Greenburg", which is on there) and avoids most of the swirly psychedelia from "Scratch in the Sky" but it's a darn good place to start. Also: if you already HAVE the LPs, there are some b-sides on there and also a really heart-stopping unreleased folk/psych song by Jim Fairs called "The Warm" which would have been very much at home on "Notorious Byrd Bros." If you ever wanna win a music trivia shootout, by the way....the Cryan' Shames were the only band I can think of who ever released two singles in a row in which the final verse modulates DOWN a key....I know that's arcane, but it's a really weird musical trick, and to use it TWICE is even weirder. ("Sugar and Spice"/"I Wanna Meet You.") And while we're still in Chicago, let me tout a guilty pleasure: Aorta. Their second LP (with Michael Been) is kinda forgettable, but the first one (which has been booted on CD in Europe and is fairly easy to find) is a killer if you like heavy pop/psych.

You'll have to get a copy of Shindig! to read a proper review - but lemee tell ya, this is goooood, much better than their debut (which itself was pretty cool), capturing much more of the energy of a live show, this is top notch stuff... Not too keen on hearing covers of Spencer Davis and Eric Burden to be honest cos very few people can match their vocal talents and one can't help but compare the Greenhornes' version with the 60s recordings of the songs. But that said, you all are gonna totally love this record. Take Nancy's advice and go see the Greenhornes on 31 March in New York.

Add my name to the list of devoted Cryan's Shames garage fans. Of course, I live in Chicago, too, so it come with the territory. I inquired on adding the Shames to the Cellar Reunion that I helped organize in '99, but the primary organizers decided to stick to their "gang" (it was organized by friends that went to the same High School and were friendly with the bands: Shadows Of Knight, Raevens, Same, Saturday's Children, and Boston Tea Party). The Buckinghams are also great...but are much more "oldies" friendly than the Cryan' Shames are...even here in Chicago.

When I bought an internal CD-R burner, it came with some free NEATO "Matt Photo Quality" labels that you press on to CD-Rs using a CD label applicator. I printed one out and it pressed on top of the CD-R very flat and flush. Is there potential for these labels to "gum up" and make a CD player stick/skip? Would it just be "safer" to write out the info with one of those CD-R pens? My second concern might sound novice to the "expertian" (and helpful) collectors, but I have heard rumors that leaving the original shrink wrap on record covers has the potential to warp the vinyl. Please let me know if this is just a myth or a real reason to strip off the vintage shrink wrap (with the defunct department/record store price stickers).
