Just like the *respect* a lot of those kids received when they hired studio time and arranged for a few hundred singles to be pressed-up! Do you think there was a lot of respect flying around the control rooms when bands like the Alarm Clocks were laying down their scuzz? Sure, some of the facilities were primitive but on the other hand I am willing to bet that a lot of the "grown-ups" recording those bands were also in it for a quick buck and gave little attention to quality control. After all, many of the kids with that "British Invasion" sound were reviled by their elders so why should a studio bozo even care about any "bottom end" etc. What do you think the reaction of Clint "The Knob Handler" would have been if you'd have told him that in the year 2001 some idiot on eBay was gonna pay $1000 for a piece of shit (his words not mine) he'd just spent an hour on? Of course there were exceptions but I do get the impression that a lot of the cuts on BFTG et al were the result of quick "in-and-out" jobs and never really intended for the Hi-Fidelity fan. I remember a certain record label running down CDs in a hilarious fashion back in the eighties and great fun it was to read too, however, now I find a lot of their archival material available in this medium. Funny. Not a problem at this end as the packages are put together with care and sound great even an average music system. Likewise if someone was to take a decent MP3 copy (+160K/44Mz) of a sixties punker and make sure there were no drop-outs then fine with me. I guess we all have different standards in life so what the hey!

One website says that "Shake" was recorded in '72, and that the album version was also recorded in '72. Another says the Bomp! single version was recorded in '72 (released in '74) and the LP version in '76. The one site says that the bulk of the "Shake" album was recorded with Dave Edmuinds in 1972, resulting in the single, plus what came out later as the "Grease" and "More Grease" EPs. I can tell you that the version I have on "Under The Covers," listed as a Capitol demo, is certainly different from both the Bomp! single and the album version. Perhaps Greg Shaw can shed more light on this, since he worked with the band.

Of course they did include a lot of poppy stuff on the boxed set, plus the ones that were originally on the Elektra LPs, stuff like "Sit Down I Think I Love You," "Run Run Run," and "Sugar And Spice." But they obviously left off a lot of stuff from the CDs, like Boyce And Hart, the Monkees, the Easybeats, and the Left Banke. (Of course they already have the Monkees well covered, and the Easybeats will be on the international set). And especially from the LPs, like Teddy & The Pandas, the Chartbusters, the Sunshine Company, the Long Island Sounds, etc. I'm pretty sure they could put out a "whole nother" 4-CD set of pop music obscurities, including the LP leftovers and other semi-undiscovered tracks. Maybe they're trying not to compete with Varese Vintage's "Sunshine Days" comps, but I think having them all in one place, probably with even more tracks included, plus another awesome info-filled booklet, would make it a big draw, especially for us fans of the poppier stuff from the "garage/psych" era...

In my opinion, the Cryan Shames, Monkees, Turtles, Outsiders (from Ohio), Long Island Sound, hell, even Tommy James & the Shondells had that teenbeat element, even when they were doing ballads. The Sunshine Co. didn't, being pure harmony 'n' sunshine. (Were the American Breed on those 80's NUGGETS comps? Well, if they were, they shouldn't have been, they ain't got the garage element either. Just my opinion.)

Arf! ALL moody ballads...I might be in the minority, but I like > these tracks as much as the paint peelers > > I dig that kinda stuff but I prefer TS "I'm Down Today". That's the best moody comp I've everheard put out, even better than New England Teen Scene. Also "The WOrld Ain't ROund It's Square" is definitely BFTG worthy as far as rockers go.

I've gotta agree with you there...but there's been plenty of discussion on the downfalls of Radio in this group already. I always wondered why "Shake some Action" (the song, and the album) was never a huge hit for the Grovvies though...I mean, it's a song that both my mom and my girlfriend (she hates everything!)...it's got universal appeal. - -DV - ---------- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 08 Feb 2001 21:57:37 From: "tiemen kuipers" Subject: RE: bomp-digest V2001 #79 Haven't heard the "under the covers" verion but I have an LP boot with a buncha mid to late 70's era Groovies stuff(mostly "Shake Some Action" and "Jumpin' In the Night" outakes) called "...In the USA" that has the Sire single version of "Shake Some Action" on it too. Really, though I like the album version of the song better...the single version is still damned good...anything's better than the version on The Groovies(?) 1987 album, "One Night Stand". - -DV >From: Alan Wright >Reply-To: bomp@xnet2.com >To: "'bomp@screamer.xnet2.com'" >Subject: RE: bomp-digest V2001 #79 >Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2001 10:04:39 -0800 > > >>album...even though the single says- from the album "shake some action" 9103 >251- right on it.

And seeing as you've brought up Patti Smith, her version of "Hey Joe" is a fantastic one.
