All I've ever found as far as originals go are albums on Justice Records (from Winston Salem) by The Varcels, The Stowaways and the Englishmen. Collectables (www.oldies.com) has issued all 3 on cd as well as a number of others on the same label.

(...and when I say organ, I mean the kind you play, not the kind you play WITH...) Those old-fashioned organs with the knobs that gave you specific rhythms - are those compatible with hip retro music like soul or garage? (Forget jazz, you'd probably need an all out Hammond for that...) You know, those humongous things from back in the day that looked like a piece of furniture? You see these things used so often, you wonder: are those things funky enough for rock 'n' soul, or do they have that hopelessly square "skating rink" sound? When you go to thrift shops and the like, you always see these old-school combo organs (is that what they're called?) from the 60's and 70's. You know, the type they used to demonstrate at shopping malls all the time - you press a button and you get a specific drum machine tempo, usually made by the likes of Lowrey or Wurlitzer. (I have a suspicion that this is what Timmy Thomas used on his 1972 hit, "Why Can't We Live Together.") Can you rock with those, too? Or are they minature versions of what you hear in ballparks? JP P.S. Gotta put in a plug for those Cordovox accordians that got a fairly accurate organ sound for the sixties. Guess they never caught on 'cause they looked too corny for anyone not from Louisiana??? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2002 16:53:47 EST From: TheReedGuy@aol.com Subject: In this corner, SATAN! That recording of the the fight between Jesus and Satan sounds great. I catagorize such Christian music as "agenda" rock. Not that they aren't sincere, they are. That's what makes agenda rock interesting. I'd be interested in getting a copy of that too. Some other examples of good agenda rock are: 1) "The Pro Choice Choir" doing a concert at a NOW rally in Washington DC. It was a few years back and I remember Toad The Wet Sprocket was playing there too. Until I saw this I never thought there was worse music than bad Christian Rock. The choir was complete with guys playing congo drums (probably male women's studies majors). I'm trying to get a copy of that. 2) Read and was told about a CD of Amway rock. Has songs that motivate your downline to sell! 3) The band Xit a native american rock band. Lots of songs with the phrase "white man". The song "Christopher Columbus, that name makes me furious" is something not to be missed. It kind sounds like a Talking Heads song. Agenda Rock, a new catagory of music.

Besides, I kinda like the ham-fisted obviousness of the former's album title: HIGH ON MOUNT RUSHMORE.

It would go a long way towards answering the question: << what's a "Drell," anyway?? >> According to an interview I saw with Bell in Discoveries magazine, years ago, a "drell" is a well-rounded entertainer...someone who can sing or dance just as good as they want (although, if you'll notice, they didn't get to do too much singing on "Tighten Up," their biggest hit - they croon credibly on their other records).
