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 ... maureen ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2002 08:00:28 +0100 From: "Laurent Bigot" Subject: American Power Pop... but don't forget the rest of the world Moberlys what do they have out and what's their sound? Pointed Sticks Got their CD & it's great indeed. Modernettes Been looking for their CD for a while but no luck so far. > > 3) (Paul Collins') Beat - The Beat "I don't fit in" is one of my all time fave! > > 4) The Plimsouls - The Plimsouls, Everywhere At Once Never liked Peter Case's voice. > > 6) Scruffs - Wanna Meet the Scruffs? Great unsung band! For power pop lovers, I highly recommend the Euro Comp' Powerpoppers vol.1 full of circa '80 killer stuff (including Strangeways' "Wasting time", an absolute Must-Have).

Since this list is so top-heavy with people from that area, they could probably recommend "better" comps, but this one is a pretty decent intro to that long-ago scene. As for pure power pop, surprised no one's yet mentioned Bomp's own "The Roots of Powerpop!" (one word?) that came out in '96 and fills in a lot of gaps.

I'd also like to hear more by Crabby Appleton.>> I used to have their self-titled Elektra album. The only good song on it was the hit, "Go Back." Everything else was pretty much undistinguished 1970 hippie rock, with none of the pulsating power pop of that hit song. I sold the LP when I found a copy of the single. Never heard the second album, although a friend taped "Lucy," which maintains the same high standards as "Go Back." That's another thread...bands who were only as good as their (one) hit, included on a mediocre album. I'd include Crabby Appleton, the Jaggerz ("The Rapper"), and Wadsworth Mansion ("Sweet Mary" - not only was their Sussex album terrible, but they rerecorded the hit at a slower tempo) in that number. << 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.>> Is that the clip where they're shown on the beach lipsynching to that particular song? I'd like to know more about SOMETHING ELSE, don't think I've ever heard of that particular rock TV show... << If anything else CA did is as good as that song, I'd definitely pick up a full reissue... >> Based on album #1, I'm not holding my breath.
