   Hi Melvin !!! Those early Pink Floyd, Move and Traffic LPs and 45's are 
all great stuff. In answer to your question, the best source for those early 
pre first LP demos and most of the early 45's and some kool unreleased 
material and other goodies, and all in one place, is a bootleg that goes by 
the name " Interstellar Overdrive " . It's one of those series of neat 
digipaks that came out during the last year, and it does include the " Lucy 
Leave " and " I'm a King Bee " tracks, both from 1966 which are the closest 
Pink Floyd comes to the delta, in addition to " Arnold Layne ", " Candy and a 
Currant Bun " an alternate mono mix of " See Emily Play ", " Vegetable Man ", 
" Apples and - Oranges ", " Scream Thy Last Scream " and more, with solid 
sound quality to boot !!! Most definately well worth seeking out ... 
   The same people who did this boot, also popped out digipak versions of 
both the mono " Piper at the Gates of Dawn " and " Saucerful of Secrets " 
albums, which were mixed differently from their stereo counterparts, tho' I'm 
kinda partial to the stereo versions myself, as I dig hearing stuff whoosh, 
swoosh and bounce back n' forth from the speakers or in the headphones ...

Greetings,

Some Bompers are divided over Pink Floyd.  I happen to listen 
to their earlier work.  Yes, I like "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" 
from 1967 and "Saucer Full of Secrets" from 1968.  Some of their 
really early singles like "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play" are 
adequate cool enough for just about any fan of psychedelic garage 
rock.

Anyway, I heard some MP3s of really early Pink Floyd songs never
released from 1965 or 1966.  It's more raw for them than they did
when they started putting records out from 1967 on to now.  I was
wondering if there's a compilation CD out there that just focus on
the Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd (1965-1968)?  

If you listen to "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn", you might be 
surprised with songs like "Lucifer Sam."  Then again, I like the
early Traffic, the Move, and some of the other psychedelic monstrosity
that sucked as theatrical 70s progressive and dinosaur rock.

Later,

   This is actually another group with the same name as Ted Nugent's Amboy

they made around a half a dozen singles, in the mid to late 60's, all on 
Polydor, which is kinda wild when one realizes that Ted and his boys did a 
few LP's for Polydor after their stint with Mainstream, making for some 
definate confusion there. 
    Can't say I remember anything good about this other Amboy Dukes records. 
I have a comp tape that someone made me a bazillion years ago somewhere 
around here, with both " Judy " and "Simon Says " on it, and I remember 
thinking they were pretty dire stuff, but then I didn't like the original " 
Simon Says " either, yet I love John Fred and his own band's " Judy in

thought it was Ted Nugent's band, until I told him otherwise, as I remembered 
reading something about another Amboy Dukes years earlier in, I think the "

<< 
what the fuck is a powersoak or a hotcake?!! >>

   Well said indeed !!! The Power Soak is a reference to the Tom Scholz Power 
Soak, which was developed by Tom Scholz ( yes Mr. " Boston " hisself ). 
Basically what it does, is allow you to run your amp at all out full volume, 
without blowing the ears off the folks in the club you're playin, by acting 
as a " speaker load " and " soaking up " some of the amps sound, before 
sending it off to your speakers, where it comes out at a much more " 
reasonable " level, so you essentially get that full cranked distortion but a 
volume level that won't drive soundmen insane and want to kill ya.
   There were / are several of these things out there. The Power Soak is the 
most well known, but there's other's like the Marshall Power Brake, but my 
fave was the old Altair unit. The Scholz Power Soak was the most successful, 
because unlike a lotta other similar units that came out back in the mid to 
late 70's, ( this was before the era of the " master volume " control on 
amps) when these things started coming out, the Scholz Power Soak was the 
most stable and reliable and least likely to fry, overheat and blow up yer 
amp, like many of the others, and that sealed it's reputation and success for 
years, and tho' it's no longer in production, my old one still works fine. 
   It's interesting that Scholz of " Boston " fame came up with the first one 
of these things that could actually be trusted to work and not fry yer amp, 
because prior to the Power Soak, a lot of us guitarists in heavy bands using 
Marshalls ( I had eight 50 watt heads and eight cabs, which looked kool as 
all get out, but I rarely actually used more than two ) at the time, used to 
make up a hideous thing that we called actually called a " Boston Strangler 
", named after the town where anyone could actually remember having first 
seen one ever used, and tho I can't recall who the band or guitarist was, I 
knew a few guys who could probably all make a good case for being the first 
to make and use one.  A " Boston Strangler "  was basically a whole bunch of 
resistors ( like in the Power Soak ) all wired and soldered together, and 
wrapped with black electrical tape ( unlike a Power Soak ) looking much like 
a garrotte ( or a snake after supper ) that we'd hook up between our amps 
outputs and the speaker cabs inputs, so we could crank our Marshalls and 
Ampegs up to 12, get a ton of kool amp distortion, and not blow people faces 
off in the front and back of the club or the high school gym. Unfortunately, 
there was really no proper balancing of impedences and ohmagges and stuff 
like that, so you were more than likely to cook a few amps with these 
homemade babies, as it was really a " trial and error thing ". What Scholz 
did was make these things reliable and practical to use, by actually applying 
some real knowledge and technology behind the inspiration.
   Some people dig the sound of these attenuators, some don't. Some feel that 
they sound too much like ( surprise ) Boston, and all that sort of classic 
rock sound. They were originally designed with Marshalls, Ampegs, Hi Watts, 
etc in mind, tho I know guys who used them sucessfully with Fender Twins, 
Dual Showman and Bassman amps as well ( of course the Marshall amp was 
patterened after the Fender Bassman but that's another story ). It's really a 
matter of taste, amp settings, and speakers. I preferred the Altair myself, 
and still have that and my old Power Soak, but once I stopped playing in 
metal and heavy rock type bands ( no more Alice Cooper tribute sets, and 20 
minute versions of what sounded like Black Sabbath playing " Spoonful " ) and 
started playing what was called " power pop " or " new wave " and then on to 
garage and psych ( where I started as a kid years earlier ) I switched over 
to my Voxx AC 30's which were much better for that type of music and what the 
Not Quite and other bands I was in were doing, tho I did keep a Marshall 50 
and cab in my stage setup for certain moments of required Marshall mayhem.
  Well that's a real long winded answer n' history of the Power Soak fer ya, 
and I'll end with an actual question we got hit with many times by nervous 
stage managers ...
hey how come you guys have fire extinguishers on the back of yer amps ???

   Damn do I hate hittin ' the wrong damn button ... anyway that's a great 
CD, as is the Attack stuff. There's a whole LP of material by the Attack 
called " Complete - Recordings " worth checking out too. John Ducann is one 
of the great unknown guitarists if you ask me. In addition to his fantastic 
work on the Five Day Week Straw People LP, and with the Attack, he had a 
power trio ( along the lines of Cream, Gun, May Blitz, Three Man Army ) 
called Andromeda that have a 2 CD set out on John's own Angel Air label ( 
same label as the Five Day Week Straw People ), and he also did the guitar 
work on a couple Atomic Rooster LP's, " Death Walks Behind You " and " In - 
Hearing Of ". 
    More along the lines of the Five Day Week Straw People CD and well worth 
checking out are these other goodies from the same time and era ... the Five 
Day Rain CD, the Mike Stuart Span CD, the Fleur Dy Lys CD, and the Gary 
Walker and the Rain CD. All great stuff that gets played around here 
endlessly ...

Found the above mentioned interesting looking CD with colorful, psychedelic 
artwork, at Borders, marked down 75%.  I had no idea what it was but then 
noticed that songs by the Attack made up the second half of the CD.  A small 
label wanted a psych album, so John DuCann organized the project by the seat 
of his pants and with a drummer who didn't even know the material when they 
went into the "studio" (jerry rigged in an off duty kindergarten school 
room).  This is good, melodic, psychey freakbeat recorded in all of FOUR 
HOURS.  The songs were written in the space of ten days, I think, and the 
title track is one I can relate to all too well (the 9-5ers then were 
popularly known as "Plastic People," but John DuCann thought he'd be more 
creative and call them "Straw People").  "Carwash" is a driving instro that 
could easily be the soundtrack for a party scene in a 60's Eurotrash movie.  
One song is a bit too reminiscent of Cream's "Strange Brew," and "Feel Like 
Havin' a Party" is silly and plodding, but the rest is pretty good.  They 
played out a lot, opening for the Small Faces and the Move.

sad news...

Sweet Drummer Mick Tucker Dead At Age 52 
Fri Feb 15, 2:57 PM ET 

(2/15/02, 3 p.m. ET) -- Mick Tucker, drummer for glam-rock pioneers Sweet,
died Thursday (February 14) at age 54. Born Michael Thomas Tucker, the
drummer battled leukemia about five years ago, eventually getting a
bone-marrow transplant from his brother. Tucker began to feel ill and was
admitted to a British hospital on February 9--sadly, the anniversary of
fellow Sweet mate Brian Connolly's 1997 death. Tucker's health failed to
rebound, and he died with his wife Janet and daughter Ayston by his
bedside.
  
"He was the best drummer England ever produced and it is a sad loss to the
music world," Sweet bassist Steve Priest told the BBC.

"Mick Tucker was the best drummer around in the '70s. I played in the same
band as him and was proud to do so. I feel extreme sadness therefore that
he has now left us and my heart goes out to Janet and Ayston with their sad
loss," Britain's NME quoted guitarist Andy Scott as saying.

Sweet formed in 1968 as Sweetshop with Tucker, Connolly, Priest, and Frank
Torpey. After shortening the name and releasing a few singles that stiffed,
Torpey left and was replaced by Scott, and it was this lineup--working with
the songwriting team of Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn--that created such
U.S. hit singles as "Little Willy" (Number Three in 1973) and "Ballroom
Blitz" (Number Five in 1975). The group was also adept at writing its own
material, as evidenced by the success of "Fox On The Run" (Number Five in
1976), "Action" (Number 20 in 1976), and "Love Is Like Oxygen" (Number
Eight in 1978). "Ballroom Blitz" had a resurgence in popularity after its
recreation in the 1992 movie Wayne's World.

Sweet was even more successful in its native England, reaching the top 40
with hits including "Funny Funny," "Co-Co," "Alexander Graham Bell,"
"Little Willy," "Poppa Joe," "Wig-Wam Bam," "Hell Raiser," "Ballroom
Blitz," "Teenage Rampage," "The Six Teens," "Fox On The Run," "Action,"
"The Lies In Your Eyes," and "Blockbuster," which topped out at Number One
in the U.K. but only reached Number 73 in the U.S. 

Sweet continued to record and tour, but its sales continued to decline
after the mid-'70s. Connolly's departure in 1978 led to the addition of
Gary Moberly, but a continued lack of sales success forced the band to pack
it in in 1982.

In the years that followed, the members reconstituted the band on occasion,
even doing a full tour in the mid-'80s. Before his death, Connolly toured
with his own version of Sweet, while Scott has lined up European dates for
his Sweet lineup in March, April, May, June, and October.

Currant Bun " an alternate mono mix of " See Emily Play ", " Vegetable Man ", 
" Apples and - Oranges ", " Scream Thy Last Scream " and more, with solid 
sound quality to boot !!! Most definately well worth seeking out ... 
   The same people who did this boot, also popped out digipak versions of 
both the mono " Piper at the Gates of Dawn " and " Saucerful of Secrets " 
albums, which were mixed differently from their stereo counterparts, tho' I'm 
kinda partial to the stereo versions myself, as I dig hearing stuff whoosh, 
swoosh and bounce back n' forth from the speakers or in the headphones ...
tell Grimble Gromble, Kilroy and their 40,000 Headmen I sent ya !!!  maureen

Greetings,

Some Bompers are divided over Pink Floyd.  I happen to listen 
to their earlier work.  Yes, I like "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" 
from 1967 and "Saucer Full of Secrets" from 1968.  Some of their 
really early singles like "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play" are 
adequate cool enough for just about any fan of psychedelic garage 
rock.

Anyway, I heard some MP3s of really early Pink Floyd songs never
released from 1965 or 1966.  It's more raw for them than they did
when they started putting records out from 1967 on to now.  I was
wondering if there's a compilation CD out there that just focus on
the Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd (1965-1968)?  

If you listen to "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn", you might be 
surprised with songs like "Lucifer Sam."  Then again, I like the
early Traffic, the Move, and some of the other psychedelic monstrosity
that sucked as theatrical 70s progressive and dinosaur rock.

Later,
Melvin "Mod Mel" Little >>

Even you appear to have forgotten, since the song's name is 'Don't let the
sun go down on me'. Ah well, nobody's poifect!>

I thought it was "Don't let your SON go down on me".

NOT hot for teacher,
