One of my favorites is "Monster Party" (which may have been also released as "That's Enough, Lock 'Em Up"). Out & out novelty record, with the band stopping every so often for some comedic punchline, ala Pigmeat Markham's "Here Comes The Judge." "KNOCK KNOCK" Chipmunk voice: "Who's there?" Human voice: "I'm the shadow in the shade, it's a raid!" You get the drift. If you liked the more goofy, comic numbers in the SIN ALLEY series, this one has your name on it. ___________________ <> Golly zonk that you found it! Not many people know that the late great voice of Hong Kong Phooey also made some great jump-blues records...the most common records are ROCK & ROLL WITH SCATMAN (Tops) and BIG BEN SINGS (Motown, from 1973 but sounds like 1957! The title refers to the minor character he played in the movie LADY SINGS THE BLUES, a big time papa who hung around whorehouses all the time...that's why he's pictured on the cover in his long johns). He also did some great songs under pseudonyms, like the single he cut for Dootone as "The Ramparts" ("The Ballad Of Emmett Till"). And just like Sam (& Dave) Moore, he raked in extra bucks by recording bogus versions of Top 40 hits on the Tops label. One of my fave Tops EPs has not only Scatman (credited as Scat Benny) but a slumming George Jones (as "Hank Jones"). ____________________ <> Just about any of his singles (some with Johnny Twist) are worth picking up. Even the weaker ones like "I Am Back Home" (w/Twist...a slow blues with a jivey conversation between the two about Dudley coming back from Vietnam). I know one prominent reissue label has been after this guy for a compilation of his stuff (recommended for those under the spell of Mighty Hannibal, T. Valentine, Gino Washington, Andre Williams, etc.), but he's been slow to accept the offer. And when I interviewed him for Roctober magazine some time back, he was holding back on some of his best stories. Apparently, he's holding the masters for an album he wants to release himself, and he's saving his best stories for his "book." Lord knows when (or IF) these things ever come out, but Bo is settled in another line of business now, and only plays music sporadically (even though I see him hanging out - not playing - at blues clubs fairly often). We've been trying to get him to make a full-scale comeback, but apart from an appearance on CHIC-A-GO-GO, he hasn't been doing much. He's a sweetheart of a guy, one of the nicest you'd ever want to meet...not reticient so much as just flaky. Any of Bo Dudley's 45's (sometimes credited to Bo Dud) are worth buying. Those off-the-wall singles he produced for other people, some produced under his real name (Oscar Colman), are worth hearing too - kinda like the songs on the STOMPIN' or ALL NIGHT SOUL STOMP compilations updated for the Superfly age. Try J.L. Smith's "Did You Do The Mosquito," Little Mack Simmons' storming "Never Leave My Homework Undone," Mark Summers'"City Girls" (a lot more nutty than the title indicates), or Arelean Brown's "I Am A Streaker" ("Some of you women try to hide your shape/'Cause you're built like a turtle/But I'm STUCK, baby/Don't even have to wear no girdle!!!") <> No shit! Check out the album they did for Del-Fi as the Deuce Coupes! (They also had a pretty good barrio-soul album on Mercury, PAT & LOLLY VEGAS AT THE HAUNTED HOUSE).

It just so happens that I was digging through my collection recently and found that I had this one. It is indeed everything you say it is and more. Wild records like that one are one of the reasons I still believe. I also have "That's Enough, Lock 'Em Up," so I'll play that one, too, and see if it's the same thing. Another great record Doggett did that I dug up is called "The Doodle," which is a real stormin' instro. > > > ___________________ > > < (HBR) > Golly zonk!>> Wow! The things you can learn sometimes! Thanks so much for all this info! Hopefully, I can run across some more Scatman stuff. I was always a fan of his whenever I'd see him on "Chico and the Man" in the 70s and in movies like "Silver Streak" and "Twilight Zone: The Movie" (He's in the Spielberg-directed segment). Scatman was one of the coolest of 'em all. > ____________________ > > > < Bo > Diddley rip with some really wild guitar playing!>> > > Just about any of his singles (some with Johnny > Twist) are worth picking up. > And when I interviewed him for > Roctober magazine some time > back, he was holding back on some of his best > stories.

Would you know, then, if there's a discography of his stuff anywhere? I'm definitely interested in seeking out more of his work. And I do hope he gets around to writing that book, as stories like his need to be told. Try J.L. Smith's > "Did You Do The Mosquito," Little Mack Simmons' > storming "Never Leave My > Homework Undone," Mark Summers'"City Girls" (a lot > more nutty than the title > indicates), or Arelean Brown's "I Am A Streaker" > ("Some of you women try to > hide your shape/'Cause you're built like a > turtle/But I'm STUCK, baby/Don't > even have to wear no girdle!!!") I already have the JL Smith record (also on the F-M label) and I definitely know of its greatness. I will do my best to seek out the others as well. There are a couple more records I wanted to tell you about on my lists, but I forgot. They're both by a group called The Emperors and they're both on Mala. The records are "Karate," which Santana later ripped off for "Everybody's Everything," and a two-sided monster called "You Got Me Where You Want Me" backed with their version of Don Gardner's "My Baby Likes To Boogaloo" which comes damn near close, in my estimation, to topping the original. Anyone know of some info on these guys and if anything else they did is worth the time of day? Also, are there any Bill Black's Combo fans out there? Granted they did a lot of schlocky cocktail stuff, too, but they also have some great instro moments as well. Gee, maybe I oughta do a Part Three. > > < (Chancellor) > (Pat and Lolly Vegas do surf and do it well)>> > > No shit! Check out the album they did for Del-Fi as > the Deuce Coupes!

But I think the Beatles were generally just going for a slow blues feel rather than copying a Lovin' Spoonful song of all things. The slower album version of "Revolution" is pretty heavy and grungy in its own right. "Daydream" is a heck of a lot more lightweight. That said, early in my oldies listening career, I always thought "Daydream" was a Mamas & Papas song, and thought it was John Phillips singing. Now _there's_ a similarity! Dave __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2002 10:15:40 -0800 (PST) From: David Coyle Subject: Re: Great Acts That Will Never... I'll throw in my 2 cents worth about a couple of the artists on one of these lists: Emmit Rhodes: I looked up an Emmit Rhodes website, which had a mockup for a proposed disc of unreleased and rare Emmit Rhodes recordings, with and without the Merry-Go-Round. You could vote on whether you would like to see such a disc released. Don't know if there've been any results, but I think there should be more Emmit Rhodes stuff out there. The "Listen, Listen" compilation on Varese Vintage is an excellent compilation, and I understand there's a similar compilation out in the UK, with no Merry-Go-Round tracks. That said, there should be a legitimate domestic reissue of the Merry-Go-Round album, which has apparently been available in Japan. Pair it with "The American Dream," the post-MGR collection of outtakes and solo demos, and I think you'd have a killer pop CD. The Turtles: Excellent group. I have all their albums on CD, mostly in Repertoire's mono/stereo reissue series, which also contain a number of bonus tracks, a couple by the pre-Turtles surf band the Crossfires. Next month, Rhino will be issuing a 2-CD Turtles set, called "Solid Zinc: The Turtles Anthology," which is said to contain unreleased tracks and alternate takes. Should be a winner. Andre Williams: I personally have never heard his stuff, but I'd imagine he got some mention on Bomp since I think there are some Andre Williams comps on Norton.

The former were on Impact Records (same label as the Shades Of Blue). I have another 45 of theirs, and it's very Merseybeat sounding pop. The Human Beinz from Ohio were originally known as the Human Beingz, and Capitol released their records without the "g" to capitalize on the "Be-In" movement. The group apparently continued to do local gigs with the original spelling. "Leaving Me" by the Royal Guardsmen was pretty much contemporary with the "Snoopy" songs. It wasn't a matter of the RGs putting out a fuzz-pounder "before Snoopy got ahold of them." The group put out quite a few rockers and straightahead pop numbers on their four LPs, which have been reissued on Collectables. In fact I think "Leaving Me" came out a bit later than the "Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron" LP. I don't have the CDs in front of me to double check. No matter what, "Leaving Me" is a great tune, probably the toughest original in the Royal Guardsmen repertoire. Sounds like you had a killer year for adding to your record collection, though...

There are quite a few versions of this song available, recorded between 1960-69. The first is from the so-called "Quarrymen Rehearsal" tapes which have been widely bootlegged and were only partially released with the "Anthology." It's very raw and suffers from bad recording technique (reel-to-reel in a living room, with no bass and acoustic guitars), but is fairly complete. There are two takes of the song taken from a 1962 rehearsal at the Cavern Club, which has also been bootlegged (also contains an early version of "I Saw Her Standing There" and the unished instro "Catwalk"). Then in 1963, the Beatles recorded the song yet again at EMI, with the possible intention of including it on the "With The Beatles" LP. This is the recording that was included on "Anthology 1" complete with John and Paul arguing over a pick. Finally, "One After 909" was one of countless early unreleased Lennon-McCartney compositions revisited during the turbulent "Get Back" sessions. Fortunately it was one of the few songs they could still remember in its entirety, and they were able to record a rocking take of the song, with Billy Preston adding some keyboards. I believe it was the opening track on the "Let It Be" album. As a footnote, the Beatles tribute band Backbeat performed at one of our local town festivals, and the first time they played (around the time of the "Anthology") their set included a note-perfect version of the 1963 recording of "One After 909."
