This might be the only reason I'd buy a Tull album these days. Great song that sound very little like J Tull. My single is was bought used in 1975, so it's pretty worn out.

(insert 38 minute solo here........far out) "all of us" is, i think, their best album. spyropolous has a great jazz-inflected tune on there, "you can try it" - sort of a slighty spooky piece of melancholy pop sike with some very cool jazzy chord changes; campbell-lyons has "tiny goddess" & a couple of other really great songs. "rainbow chaser" is on there, too - a really cool track with loads of phasing. i think this was their closest to having a hit in the UK, it got to maybe 30-something in the charts sometime in '68. the "black flower" CD, which was (i think) originally released as "to markos III" for about 10 minutes and then withdrawn by island...or maybe it wasn't ever actually released commerically, i can't remember. anyway, there's more great stuff on here - a couple more spyropoulos tunes than the other records - including the absolutely awesome godlike "black flower" - a totally superb piece of orchestral late (1970) psych, with more of those cool chord changes, a sort of theatrically spooky feel to it (without being pretentious or unintentionally humorous), a godlike guitar solo, and a superb orchestral arrnagment by mike vickers, late of manfred mann. really, really good stuff. buy this!! & in case you're interested, campbell-lyons pre-nirvana band hat&tie has a track on one of the "circus days" volumes, and i believe one of the recent 10th planet label comps, i want to say the "president" label LP, but i really can't remember, has a couple more tracks by hat&tie. damn, my head is killing me, i am hung over as shit. i am gonna make some coffee......nirvana UK kicks ass all over the place, though. if you enjoy english pop psychedelia with a dash of tweeness, it doesn't get any better than this.... postjagered, rob ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2002 08:51:11 EST From: Euphorik6@aol.com Subject: Re: Booze Party In a message dated 1/25/02 7:10:19 PM, crawdaddy.simon@sympatico.ca writes: << Three Aces & A Joker, wasn't it? >> yeah. thanks simon & lenny - this was driving me crazy, i couldn't remember who did this.... rob ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2002 09:03:17 EST From: Euphorik6@aol.com Subject: Re: the world's greatest bar jukebox In a message dated 1/25/02 10:07:38 PM, satch.mykels@worldnet.att.net writes: << "hip hug-her" of course...or maybe i've just watched barfly too many times. >> oh yeah. shit, almost anything by booker t would be good - "summertime" at closing time comes to mind... can't believe i forgot to mention anything by the sonics, my ultimate friday-night-getting-loaded band...."have love will travel," "walkin the dog" etc etc.....great drinkin music. by the way, "barfly" is one of my all-time favorite movies. i used to go out with this chick in cincinnati. on our first date, we went to this bookstore, and i was checkin out the bukowski stuff. i started flipping through the screenplay for "barfly" and she was like "oh my god, i HATED that movie, what an awful movie."

Keep in mind, that the Sonics on this CD don't sound like the Sonics we know from "Here Are The Sonics" and "Sonics Boom!" They sound like every other Wailers wannabes of the period. There are about half a dozen Wailers covers on here. Gerry Roslie only appears on two actual tracks on the CD, the rest of the vocals are done by someone else. All the live tracks have that "Beatles At The Star-Club Hamburg" quality. Overall, I'd say this is really only for the Sonics completist and/or the Northwest fanatic.

Wasn't there a reunion album with Mark Lindsay on vocals? Nothing more than rehashing the old hits, and I'm sure "Louie Louie" was one of them. About the Beau Brummels and Johnny Cash: I'd bet the song on the "San Fran Sessions" box that led you to "the man in black" was none other than an early version of "Gentle Wanderin' Ways." Am I right? That's probably the most Johnny Cash-like song they ever did, until they got to "Bradley's Barn." Speaking of the Beau Brummels, I think it's high time that somebody finds a way to put out a definitive collection of the Warner Brothers period of the group. Something with selections from "Beau Brummels '66" (if only "One Too Many Mornings," which is really the only good song on the LP), "Triangle" and "Bradley's Barn." Throw in some unreleased tracks and maybe a track or two from that '75 live album that's been making the rounds. It's probably the most underrated, if underheard period of the BB career. The Autumn period has been well-covered by Sundazed, but I have this feeling that they wouldn't be the ones to do the WB stuff. In other great WB-related reissue news, Rhino is releasing the 2-CD set "Just The Right Sound: The Association Anthology" on February 19th. Till now, the Association's CD availability has been limited to the old carbon-copy reissue of "The Association's Greatest Hits," expensive Japanese CD imports of their albums, and at least one cheapie with the latter-day Assoc. lineup doing their big hits and various covers. The CD package will have liner notes by Dawn Eden, with quotes from original members and will include tracks spanning from 1965-81 on various labels, and two unreleased tracks from their debut album sessions. This all comes out the same day that Rhino is slated to release their 2-CD Turtles anthology, "Solid Zinc." The Beau Brummels could get similar treatment from Rhino, if the label would just put their minds to it. They could do a 2-CD set similar to the Turtles and Association sets (as well as the Yardbirds anthology), with one disc covering the best of the Autumn years, and the second disc covering the Warner Brothers era. I don't assume Sundazed would mind handing the ball over to Rhino, as they've also reissued the entire Turtles LP catalog, which will be represented by the upcoming Rhino set. Someone else mentioned ideas that they submitted for Rhino Handmade. I'd also like to hear more by Crabby Appleton. I have a video copy of the TV show "Something Else," that also includes the Ides Of March and schlocky performances by Jack Wild and John Byner. The footage of Crabby Appleton performing "Go Back" is definitely the highlight of the show. If anything else CA did is as good as that song, I'd definitely pick up a full reissue... Dave __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2002 13:53:17 -0800 (PST) From: David Coyle Subject: Re: Sludgy Young Sonics/Austin Power Pop Another thing nobody has mentioned is that the title of the album, as well as the cover, is based on the old LP "The Savage Young Beatles," which included the Beatles 1961 Hamburg recordings backing expatriate singer Tony Sheridan. The Beatles on that LP, much like the Sonics, were also young but not particular "savage." In fact, it really wasn't the Beatles at all, it was Tony Sheridan, and the Beatles were saddled with the generic moniker "The Beat Brothers." I'm not even sure if all the tracks on that particular album were recorded _with_ the Beatles at all, because the Beat Brothers were whoever happened to be backing Sheridan at any given time... Nothing on the whole Norton LP is really worth airplay. As a whole, it's not something a Sonics/NW fan is going to want to keep in steady rotation. It's something to keep on the rack next to your other Sonics CDs and pull out when/if you're in the mood for some history... Re: Soundtracks for future "Austin Powers" movies. If you're limiting your range to the late '70s-early '80s, I'd recommend stuff like "Shake Some Action" by the Flamin Groovies, "When You Find Out" by the Nerves, "All Kindsa Girls" by the Real Kids, or "Baby It's Cold Outside" by the Pezband. In other words, stuff you'd find on discs like Rhino's "Come Out And Play: American Power Pop I (1975-78)," a disc I just recently picked up in cutout bin. I'm really digging this CD. It's got all the hooks I like in retro pop music. Some fantastic songs I never heard or just don't remember. Anyone got a track-listing for Vol. II? I know "What I Like About You" by the Romantics is on it, so I'd imagine the tracks are from the early '80s. Any other recommendations? Keeping in mind, once you getting into drum machines and that cheesy '80s synth sound, you've lost me...

I know there was some discussion of the "other" Fleshtones the last time they played in Columbus. Considering I've never seen, and rarely heard, either group, I wouldn't know the difference. That said, did the "real" Fleshtones record a version of the Dantes classic "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love"? I heard it over the PA at a show in Mansfield I went to MC'd by the former lead singer of the Dantes, and he told me it was the Fleshtones. Considering the Dantes and another group called the Fleshtones were both from Columbus, now I'm a bit confused. I wouldn't mind checking out the Cynics if they were to open, but considering they are from PA, I'd imagine that's the reason they're opening for the F'Tones the next night in Pittsburgh... Considering there isn't an opening band listed for the Columbus show, I'd imagine it will be some local band...maybe the Mendelsonics, who I think opened for them the last time.

Rhino Handmade was working on a comprehensive set that would include all of their Warner Bros. recordings, including 'Triangle', 'Bradley's Barn' and (if I remember correctly) about 40 unreleased tracks. Then, well, there were a few changes at Handmade...There's a pretty good chance that Handmade's new crew will put something together this year that is similar to what we were going to do with the old crew...or maybe the Special Products division will license the tracks to Collector's Choice or Sundazed or who knows?, some other label.

Lemme know if you have trouble finding them. The two Rhino DIY British Pop CDs are worth picking up as well. At 01:53 PM 1/26/02 -0800, you wrote: > >I'm really digging this CD.

While waitin' fer my next feature, I thought I'd do a little " inquiring ", and just answered my own question ... Iommi mentions first playing flute on the "Paranoid" LP in the following interview .... http://www.ink19.com/issues/february2001/inkSpots/tonyIommi.html Mentions it here too ... in a real kool interview. This is part of Joe Seigler's Black Sabs site, http://www.black-sabbath.com/index.shtml which is one amazing site ( check out the FAQ for a bit on Tony's 3 weeks with Jethro - Tull ) and probably the best online source since the Black Sabbath Appreciation Society is pretty much defunct. http://www.black-sabbath.com/interviews/tonygeez_0594.html anyway time to turn to the computer back here over to one of the other gals, and I think I'll include " Paranoid " in my next set since I have the CD with me ... Can you tip me ??? Are you ready for my ... oh yeah ...
