I bought 'em right when they came out. So you're all probably right about subsequent pressings changing to reg'lar old boring black PVC. But mine definitely aren't promos. Got 'em new and sealed.

I'm pretty partial to the guitar intro to "Why Do You Treat Me So Bad?" by The Misanthropes, one of the early Get Hip singles. I'm pretty sure this was the only thing these guys ever put out. Too bad, 'cuz this is a GREAT track and the guitar sound is completely wigged-out. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2002 00:04:25 -0500 From: "boots66" Subject: Re: Bands that will never get their due on the Bomp list ok... 1st, happy new year, y'all! It was fun, but I'm glad the holiday frenzy is come & gone. I second the mentions of Violent Femmes, They Might be Giants, and Pixies (was just playing Dolittle this am). Also, did someone mention Sparks?? Actually, it seems like they get their due more on this list than in the 'real' world. I've met a sum total of *one* person who was into them at all (besides the two or so people I know who liked "Cool Places", tho they'd never heard of Sparks previoously). Glad to see I'm not the only Monkees fan, either. Now if I could only find someone else who'll admit to liking Tom Jones.... How bout Clutch??! Anyone.....? I'm going to see tham at Irving this Sat - can't wait! Just got turned on to them recently, and can't get enough. /Karen ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2002 00:06:38 EST From: HOODOO3005@aol.com Subject: The Monkey Speaks His Mind In a message dated 1/3/02 8:26:43 PM Central Standard Time, owner-bomp-digest@xnet2.com writes: << >Dave Bartholomew: "The Monkey" (Imperial) "The monkey >speaks his mind!"

Doug wrote: <> I'm DELIGHTED to hear you mention this one. I'm ALWAYS blown away by it when I hear the tune on the local oldies station--who played this solo, anyway? Some others: There's a KILLER solo on Tommy Roe's version of "Wild Thing"--up the neck past the frets wildness; again, don't know who's responsible, but it's great! James Williamson, for every single note he plays on Iggy's "Raw Power" lp... Ron Asheton, for "Loose" and, well, pretty much all of "Funhouse"--he has an awesome sound on that record... The Rivieras' "California Sun"--one note soloing at it's best! Johnny Ramone--"I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You" Crazy fuzz chord wildness!

Nahh. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2002 09:36:14 +0100 From: Jan.Roerhorst@prismant.nl Subject: catching up, sorry for some "dead" threads... Hi y'all, Catching up on old digests.... I came across this... On 19 Dec 2001, Jeroen on the subject: beat, bluf & branie boxset..., answering Lee's question: > so, anywhere to score a translation to the liners?< wrote: >>Obviously Jan should be your man here, but as far as I understand he's off on a two week x-mas break, but I figure that as soon as he returns behind his desk he'll have plenty o' time to clue you in......<< Thanx for the confidence, Jeroen! Spotting Lee's original question brought back an old plan, partly put into action already: translating all those Op-Art 10" liners and make 'em available thru' Hitomi's web-site... It IS DEFINITELY gonna happen! Patience tho', it IS a job... BB&B will be there s well... - ------------------------------------------------- On 21 Dec 2001 Lenny on the subject: Really Long Songs I Like, wrote >>Why not? Me: "Sister Ray," and many of the stretched out live versions of Velvets tunes as found on the 1969 Live lp, for instance, about a zillion cuts by George Clinton/Bootsy Collins/Parliament/Funkadelic/Parliament Funkadelic/P-Funk All-Stars etc (there's another thread--bands with multiple names/configurations, LOL) - --"Atomic Dog," "Double Uh-Oh," "Flashlight," "Knee Deep" and lots more, "Funhouse" by the Stooges... Since Steppenwolf was my first favorite group, I don't mind confessing to liking that suite thingy that comprises most or all of side 2 of "The Second" lp... on the other hand, I love The Yardbirds and, tho' they're dinosaurs, Led Zep, but I don't care if I EVER hear "Dazed and Confused" again...<< Confession time (?): when I started collecting albums, in the mid-seventies, long songs were one of my fave items to look for (live albums by the Allman Brothers, Ten Years After, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and Grand Funk Railroad being among my first and all-time faves... The inclusion of a six-minute drum solo was an added bonus...). Imagine my disappointment in Zep's "The song remains the same", which should have consisted of sides 1 & 3 only... Anyone remember laughter...? LOL!!! Over the years me and my music changed and these days my motto is basically: at least 30 songs a disc, please! Although, occasionally, I still have a lot of fun with those old long-song-discs. One of my all-time fave-long-songs/jams (and now playing) has to be Sonny Boy Williamson's "Little village", 12 minutes of false starts, dumb producer's remarks and questions and Sonny Boy's attempts to pull off a good song, swearing and cursing his way through that jam... Ab Fab! - ------------------------------------------------- Also on 21 Dec 2001 Lenny once more, this time on whether or not to "punish" your drunken kids, wrote: >>You kidding? If the kid KNOWS ya saw them in that pathetic state, your work is probably done--the kid's speculations on what the parent thinks/will/might say will be far worse than anything you possibly COULD say... Given that the kid's gonna squirm like hell ANYWAY, a knowing silence is merely a small mercy. I still say that once, I might keep my mouth shut--long as it's understood that I KNOW. The second time, I'd pounce.<< You're so right Len! And... alright, late but forever relevant, IMO, my puke/sleep/silently disgusted parents story: One cold winter night I went out with a dozen of friends... I can't remember why, but I had decided to get drunk like hell and to achieve that I had bought myself a bottle of white rum... We went to a youth centre, after drinking some beer at my place. At the youth centre I started boozing on the rum, sometimes pure, sometimes mixed with coke. Coming out of there, we decided to go to a friend's house, who's parents had gone out for the night... Coming outside in the feezing cold didn't really do me good, but we managed to get to the other side of town (on bike-back) anyway... Please don't ask how... can't remember... Having arrived at my friend's place we boozed on, but soon enough I had to go lose something... I found the toilet, spilled my guts (no stains outside the pot, mind you!)... and managed to fall asleep, on my knees, door nicely locked.... And then the posh parents came home... Later I learned that it took about an hour to wake me up and make me unlock the door... I also learned later, that a friend, broken leg in a cask, helped carry me home, all across town... Somehow I ended up in my own bed... Next day I found myself on the couch, listening to my mother, saying not a lot (for a change...), asking me how last night had been (as if she didn't know....). At some point I started to wonder how I'd gotten home and where my bike was... Mom told me she had no idea... That was quite an expensive bike and she just let me sizzle and sweat over it for about an hour... It turned out another friend had accompanied me and the cask, bringin' the bike... Yeah... friends... My mom, a light sleeper anyway, must have helped me to bed, thanked the guys for caring and hardly mentioned it to me afterwards... My dad never even said anything about it until years later... But the silence that day was shattering enough to make me decide to never get that drunk again... unless I was with reliable friends, of course! But I never passed out again... as far as I can remember, obviously... ;--) So, Andre and other kid-owners: let them make that mistake once, usually the hangover, combined with your "acting-like-nothing-ever-happened" should be punishment enough! I remember very well what cheerful mom did to my hung-over headache... all thru' Sunday! More catching up L8er, Jan. PS. Reading on this morning I saw MopTop leave the building... FUCK!!! That's like setting fire to the Library of Congress... Still have some 30 digests to go, hope I see his return... If not: lucky me! Only the Garage section of the LoC burned down, I still have the Soul/R&B wing to visit thru' AJ... Your loss! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2002 00:47:46 -0800 (PST) From: Kate Subject: Don't Look Now Playlist 12/28/01 My last playlist of 2001.
