As for the Shop Assistants, they were a great jangly band and yes Overground did reissue the bands first album which originally came out in 1986 on Chrysalis Records (Chrysalis Records AZLP2). While the Overground album did include all of the album it only included a smattering of the group's singles, ep's and rarities. What is missing from the reissue is as follows: Switzerland (1985 Subway Organization SUBWAY 01) It's Up To You (1985 Subway Organization SUBWAY 01) Safety Net (1985 53rd & 3rd Records AGARR1) Almost Made It (1985 53rd & 3rd Records AGARR1) And it is also missing the real rarity Buba & The Shop Assistants single from 1985 on Villa 21 Records (Villa 21 Records 002): Something To Do b/w Dreaming Backwards. This beauty was limited to 500 copies and hailed from a period of time that the band included Stephen Pastel. As for the C86 movement in general and the NME C86 compilation specifically, it has long been forgotten that the movement included a varied groups of bands. Yes, it did include jangly pop but for every Buzzcock/Pastels wannabe there was also the bands that wanted to be Captain Beefheart!!! It is funny that people only remember the Primal Screams, Mighty Lemon Drops and Soup Dragons from that age, but have long since forgotten Stump, Big Flame and the Shrubs. Yes, Subway Organization, 53rd & 3rd, Sarah and the like loomed large but just as powerful was Ron Johnson Records which was full of disjointed Beefheart mixed with post punk Gang of Four funkisms. For the record the following tracks appeared on the NMEC86 compilation: 1. Primal Scream: Velocity Girl 2. The Mighty Lemon Drops: Happy Head 3. The Soup Dragons: Pleasantly Surprised 4. The Wolfhounds: Feeling So Strange Again 5. The Bodines: Therese 6. Mighty Mighty: Law 7. Stump: Buffalo 8. Bogshed: Run to the Temple 9. A Witness: Sharps And Sticks 10. The Pastels: Breaking Lines 11. The Age of Chance: From Now On This Will Be Your God Side Two 1. Shop Assistants: It's Up To You 2. Close Lobsters: Firestation Towers 3. Miaow: Sport Most Royal 4.

That may be and I'm not disputing anything, but I always seem to see "Baby Let's Wait"/"Leaving Me" to be the first single listed in the Royal Guardsmen's discography. At least, that's how it's listed in the "Fuzz, Acid and Flowers" book, which I know is full of inaccuracies (sic), but it's what I based my review on. Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I've always assumed. Anyway, thanks for the info, as always.

They were all purchased in the 80s and the packaging is exactly as the others have descibed. Photo of record sleeve/label on front, liners on back, inner sleeve ad for other releases, etc. I think the white vinyl copies may have been a ltd. run of the original pressings. Though it's possible the black vinyl copies I purchased in the mid to late 80's are second presses, I would tend to doubt that an obscure comp from the early days would warrant a repress a mere 3-4 years after its original run. Of course, I'm sure some of the Pebbles series were repressed early, but that was maybe a bit more hi-profile (?) I can't find any markings to indicate 2nd press on my black copies, but I did notice something I hadn't before. In the vinyl trail-off of one (maybe all) of my copies is etched the phrase, "Luv from Line".Last note-all the label markings match my other Line label designs, etc. from the early 80's. So Mike F. and whoever made the original post...it looks like you lucky guys may have ltd. white vinyl editions. And Greg, if you're reading this, how long was it before you did the first repress of a Pebbles lp? Just curious as to the early sales/demand.

Those RARE, PRECIOUS & BEAUTIFUL albums by the Bee Gees turn up often. These are early pre-fame recordings by the Brothers Gibb. The only song I can say I've heard is "Spicks & Specks," which is close enough for beach music (as in the type of R&B popular in the Carolinas, not Brian Wilson). What kind of bag were they in then - post-Beatle pop-rock, dippy teen idol shite (I've seen those early photos, wouldn't be surprised if) or what? Are these R,P & B albums worth buying? Just so you'll know - the two Bee Gees albums I own are Vols. 1 & 2 of BEST OF BEE GEES (pre-disco), and I dig 'em both - can listen to those all the way through without skipping a track.

Before I sermonize on Bill Black, I'll first knock back a small taste of the Emperors: << 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? >> Haven't heard much besides "Karate," but I can say that Carlos Santana asked permission before changing the lyrics and title. According to one interview I read, Carlos couldn't see himself singing about something as literal as karate (neither the dance, which the Emperors are singing about, nor the sport) so he tracked down the song's authors, who granted him permission to write and record "Everybody's Everything." <> My hand is up...I dig "Smokie - Part 2" (the single version; slow drag with a lowdown honky-tonk piano), "Turn On Your Love Light" (like Willie Mitchell, only funkier), plus the MOVIN' (hard-driving instrumental rock & roll) and SOLID & COUNTRY (from 1974, title sez it all) elpees. Also look for BLACK WITH SUGAR (Columbia, 1969). Since you, Brian, seem to be on such a Willie Mitchell kick lately, this is the album you want; late sixties instrumental soul verging on funk. A soul-loving Hi Records fan I know once told me he didn't know where Bill Black's Combo fit in the scheme of things...were they rockabilly, soul, lounge music, country and western, or some weird mutation of all of these? (Answer: yes, yes, yes, yes, and HELL YEAH.) After Bill Black himself died in 1965, the sound was defined by whoever happened to be in the band that week. Matter of fact, I remember perusing some Memphis entertainment magazine in the eighties and seeing a classified ad for the BBC ("Available now for weddings, functions and Bar Mitzvahs, the Bill Black Combo!"). The version of the band that Black was in had one of the most stiffest, unswinging drummers this side of the Monomen, but they still found access to the groove (they were from Memphis, where true soul is in the water). At the time (late fifties-pre-Beatle sixties), they were considered one of the ranking instrumental rock artists of the era, right up there with Duane Eddy, Bill Doggett, Link Wray, the Ventures, and similar hitmakers. History gave them a dirty deal (no oldies radio airplay at all), and even the loungey Esquivel crowd never had any time for 'em, but Dave Edmunds remembered. The flip side of his 1970 hit "I Hear You Knocking" was a right-on Bill Black appropriation called "Black Bill."
