Their "Garage Sale" comp, notably, holds up extremely well. It's full of great covers (Fogerty, Creation, Plimsouls), killer instros and rockin' power-pop gems. I really dig the idea of a classic power-pop band doing intelligent instrumentals. Kind of a Perth thing, I guess.

"A Matter of Pride" is not on the first LP, and if I remember correctly, is one of their first songs with rascist undertones...stick to the first LP and two singles, and I don't think you'll have any complaints. My faves are "Where's It Gonna End", "Government Action" and "I Don't Like You"...Great punk songs!!! I'll be the first to admit how much later Skrewdriver material sucks (both musically and thematically), but I can't fault anything they put out in '77. >-DV> Admittedly I don't know much about Skrewdriver, and the song I mentioned is from '79 according to a website I looked at, but it is stuck on this boot release my pal played for me. Maybe I'm reading too much into some of the lyrics, but I still stand by my position that there are songs on that first 1977 LP which, regardless of the other members' views, could be interpreted as the beginnings of Stuart's delving into racist ideals. That aside, I feel uncomfortable having any Skrewdriver in my collection but that's me. That aside, I think Skrewdriver are pretty silly, especially considering I remember them covering Chuck Berry on one of their later, certainly racist LPs, which really shows the complete moronic thinking behind them.

But then isn't it just making an analog copy as opposed to digitally extracting the data and copying it? And wouldn't that make the copy noticeably lossy? Or not? Jake> No, because by nature, a CD is digital. There would be no loss of quality because that doesn't happen in the digital world. A copy of a digital item (a CD) is the same as the original. Unlike analogue sources, which if you copy a tape to a tape there will be some loss of quality (less depending on the quality of tapes you uses). This is why, in some ways, digital is pretty cool for bands in that it almost eliminates the need for master tapes. In the analogue world, and in the old days, once you recorded, you mixed down the mulit-track to a master reel. Then you made the other stuff (mother, stampers, etc.) from the master. If a band wanted to send their stuff to someone else, say in another country, and you didn't want to send your only master you sent them a safety master, which is thus a second generation. For instance, Radio Birdman's "Living Eyes" was cut from a safety master, which the band had sneakily copied from the real master which WEA retained. When WEA wouldn't let them have it, they just used the safety. The sound on the reissue CD is much better because they used the real master - well, actually, Deniz and Rob got the multi-tracks and remixed it. Another example of this was that ROIR release of the MC5, "Babes I Arms," which Wayne told me was made from safety masters he had. So, in today's digital world, even if you record analogue, you'll likely mix down to digital DAT, and that's your master. When the Castros recorded w/ Jack Endino, we did 16 track analogue tape, mixed down to DAT and so we left the studio with analogue master reels of 1" tape (the multitrack) and two DATs and a CDR, copied from the DAT which sounded exactly the same. The other things is, while you can cut a record AND a CD from DAT, you can only cut a record from certain analogue sources, like reel tape. You can't make a master from a cassette, it'll sound awful. That is to say, if all that exists of the band is cassettes or reels, you have to transfer them digitally before you can put them on CD. I'm not an expert of this, so I think this is correct. Lee Joseph probably can shed more light on it since he has a lot of skills as an engineer as well.

Help You Anne - Lyres (everything from the guitar delay onwards is perfection) 2. My First Band - Ben Vaughn Combo (Garage Rock - this songs says it ALL!) 3. Some People - Yard Trauma (bought it for 10p, and had to have the album) 4. Run Better Run - Cheepskates (catchy-as-hell Anglo tune) 5. I Need You - Mighty Mofos (angry, amped-up and nasty) 6. Beg - Boys From Nowhere (classic mid-sixties chords and attitude) 7. Invisible People - Slickee Boys (another 10p find, the B side is good too) 8. Never Alone - Vipers (perhaps the best effort from "the tall cool one") 9. Bad News Travels Fast - Fuzztones (the original 45 version is the one for me) 10. Live Life - Chesterfield Kings (snarling Kinks Kover from Greg and Andy) Danger: this list is liable to change from hour to hour.

The Pandoras: "Hot Generation" extra treat, the girls in bikinis on the cover of the 45, or anything off the "Stop Pretending." LP. (When will this be reissued on CD???) The original Friggs: no slight to the current line up, but they had the punch and growl..."bad Word for a good thing" The ReVillos: not the rezillos of Some bodys gonna get their head kicked in, but the Rezillo that followed of "Snatzomobile, Graveyard groove, Bong Brain and Hip City" fame. Outfits to make the B-52's blush, a wicked sense of humor and that all important farfisa beat! okay, that all until the next cuppa coffee...Moparlary ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2001 19:16:31 EST From: Moparlary@aol.com Subject: Re: The Ongoing Fuscareno Flak I'll ride shotgun on that, but it will have to be a Buck show... pointing the Neon north...Moparlary In a message dated Fri, 16 Feb 2001 6:08:31 PM Eastern Standard Time, Iam Fuzzco writes: << I also thought a good pseudonym for Blair would be "Blair Buscarplaneortrainareno", which would answer the question: "How many different modes of transportation would Blair take to get to a Cub show in Nova Scotia?" __________________________________________________ >> ------------------------------ Date: 16 Feb 2001 19:21:16 -0500 From: "Blair" Subject: Re: The Ongoing Fuscareno Flak On Fri, Feb 16, 2001 7:16 PM, Moparlary@aol.com wrote: >I'll ride shotgun on that, but it will have to be a Buck show...

I think one of the reasons Stuart initially hooked up with the racist groups was because they were practically the only ones supporting the band...

You can copy a CD to a CD-R digitally, in which case it's an *exact* duplicate of the original. On a computer this is known as "ripping". - - or - You can record a CD to a CD-R in the same way that you'd record a cassette or an LP, through an amp or analog input jack, in which case one or more analog-to-digital conversions are taking place and you will not end up with an identical copy. The stand alone dubbing decks probably do an internal analog copy when copying non-originals, the same way a dual cassette deck would. Otherwise, the record companies aren't getting the protection afforded them by the Home Audio Recording Act, which applies to consumer audio devices (and not computers).
