Do you mean you haven't heard their early singles?  I don't have the CD's + DVD box set, but if memory is right, I think they didn't have any great tunes on B-sides except both cover versions of Syd Barrett's "Vegetable man" and the Subway Sect's "Ambition".

And I think early JAMC weren't a great live band.  Actually I have a bootleg of their ealy live, I have played it few times, haha.  But you may found some good tunes, so I donno.

BTW, have you heard the Saints?  I can recommend their CD box set "All Times Through Paradise"!

Jim Reid is a big fan of the Saints!

Also, early Subway Sect's tunes are great, too!  If you didn't know.

I was in Rough Trade on Sunday and saw that there were newly published versions of Psychocandy and Just Like Honey, with B-sides, TOTP "performances", interviews and live sessions. Does anyone think it's worth buying?

Incidentally, I used to write for an indie fanzine in South London. They even published my fiction too, which I'm proud of.  

I'm still forgetting something.

Sorry.  I haven't seen...  My fave indie pop bands are the Monochrome Set, Felt, and TV Personalities (are they indie pop band?).  And I like some tunes of (early and mid) the Creation Records' bands.  Biff Bang Pow!, the Loft, early JAMC, early Primal Scream etc...

Hmm, "Liar" was released on 1990. :(

Chris Henniker said:

Yes, that's the one.  

Umm did I miss it?

Ramones - Beat On The Brat

also

Dogs - 'Slash Your Face'

Loli and the CHones - "Brass Knuckles"

As a huge Gene Vincent fan im annoyed that I missed that one, also surprised that Mr. Battles forgot 'who slapped John!'

Whyte Boots is an awesome song, another I should have got.

Cavan Grogan must be about 126 by now!

Oh , yeah. I  forgot that one. Crazy Cavan , BTW , is still active.

Mott The Hoople "Violence".

Bo Diddley "Sneakers on a Rooster".

Nervebreakers "I Wanna Kill You".

T. Tex Edwards "I'm a - Gonna Kill You" (I have the original 45 , but , now I forget who it was by.).

Troggs "The Yella in Me" (Someone said Skynyrd's "Gimme Three Steps" was the most badass song about being a total wuss, ever. They had'nt heard THIS song.).

Alice Cooper "Gutter Cat Vs. The Jets".

Motors "You Beat The Hell Out of Me'.

Johnny Cash "A Boy Named Sue".

Thee Whyte Boots "Nightmare ".

Slaughter and The Dogs "Where Have All The Boot Boys Gone?".

Emporers "I wANT mY woman".

Ronnie Dawson "Knock Down Drag Out".

Mabel John "Don't Hit Me No More".

Who did "He Hit Me (And it Felt Like a Kiss)"? I HEARD (UNDERSTANDABLY SO) THAT IT WAS BANNED IN IT'S DAY , BUT , BACK WHEN CHICAGO HAD AN OLDIES STATION THAT DID'NT SUCK , THEY'D PLAY IT , SOMETIMES...).

Holly and The Italians "Tell That Girl To Shut Up".

Stranglers "Sometimes" .

Ramones "Loudmouth".

Gene Vincent "Cruisin'".  Well , there are lots of others....

Armitage Shanks 'shirts off' and whilst on the rock n roll vein an 80s Welsh rockabilly band called Crazy Cavan and the rhythm rockers did a song called 'teddy boy boogie' ...............'he put his dirty hands on my long drape coat, so I whipped out my razor and I slit his throat, teddy boy boogie.............'

Out of all the shows here at Garage Punk dot com I've found that Bom Bom Lulu  on The Rock 'n' Roll Rampage Radio Show delivers the highest quantity of kick arse kid friendly songs.

Also there's a few good kid friendly songs on the Darling Pet Munkee ep (temporarily free to download due to BoingBoing's interest) - songs inspired by the old ads in comic books.

http://darlingpetmunkee.bandcamp.com/

Darling Pet Monkee do garage songs based aroung the old ads in the back of comics -- they just got boingboinged and made the ep a free download for a limited time  - it's good stuff. Sea Monkeys are Coming For You!

"Batman in The Launderette" , that's great . Link Wray's version of "The Batman Theme" , WITH THE FUNNY VOICE - OVERS (NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHO THEY WERE.)spawned at least two covers - of -covers , by Link Protrudi and The Jaymen (Fuzztones offshoot.) , with a couple of LOCKER ROOM - vintage Gay JOKES ("YOU MEAN PETER PARKER IS A PETER PARKER ?!"). IGGY POP ALSO SHOWED GOOD TASTE IN REFERENCING LINK (WHOM HE'D CITED AS AN INSPIRATION MANY YEARS AGO.) , BUT , good taste in his Batman impersonation? "You're FUCKIN' - A RIGHT , ROBIN , start the goddamned NUCLEAR POWER FOR THE GODDAMNED BATMOBILE !!!" . C'MON ! IT'S HILARIOUS.

REZILLOS - "2000 AD" ( Judge Dredd to my countrymen.) , Elton John -" Dan Dare , Pilot of The Future" ( I can tolerate about three ELTON JOHN songs , more if you count VERY early tracks like "Ballad of a Well - Known Gun" , but this IS a comic book song. Brigitte Bardot and Serge Gainsbourg "Comic Strip" ("Plop , whiz , pow! ) . Beatles - "Continuing Saga of Bungalow Bill "(Captain Marvel reference.). Johnny "Guitar" Watson - "Superman Love". Lurkers - "I Don't Need To Tell Her" ( Not about a specific superhero , just being one.).

Album covers that are sort of Comic Books...The Groundhogs - "Who'll Save The World? The Mighty Groundhogs.".
Jethro Tull "Too Old To Rock'n'Roll , Too Young To Die." Mo - Dettes "The Story So Far". Elton John "Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy" (Maybe they'd call that a "Graphic Novel " , today. )
George Thorogood and The Destroyers "( Get a ) Haircut " (Great comic strip art by Peter Bagge , but , I could'nt bring myself to buy it , when I knew I'd never listen to it.) .

Saw Bob Log III a little over a week ago. I waited months for that show, and it was worth it. I do believe it was my third time seeing him.

The Dickies are always great , live. I EVEN SAW 'EM AT A "DANCE" CLUB , AND THE SOUNDMAN CRANKED EVERYTHING UP IN THE RED , BECAUSE , I GUESS HE WAS THE DJ , THERE , IN HIS SPARE TIME. LEONARD HAD TO ASK HIM TO TURN IT DOWN !

I recently saw The Dickies. And though it wasn't technically a concert, I saw Jack Grisham of T.S.O.L. give a reading from his new book An American Demon.

the monk chant-the monks

Tell me about it.  Sometimes I'm still never getting stuff right.

OK. nice to know – thanks for the info... pinpointing original versions ain't always easy :)

Soul Inc. is probably the easiest to find but even THEY aren't the originators of Stronger than Dirt.  That honor goes to Ajax and the Cleansers who recogonized that a commercial for Ajax soap was identical to the Kinks' You Really Got Me.  One other sixties band did it as well.  They were called Jimmy and the Offbeats.

'this place sucks', the queers. new bomb turks did a decent cover of this too.

yeah, it's kinda funny how Paul Revere and the Raiders got away with so much stuff.  But I think DJs were fading Steppin' Out just as he went into that speil and fading another song in so you never heard it on the radio.  Kids had to buy the single to hear it.  As for the Kingsmen,  everybody was trying so hard to decipher those lyrics (anybody think of actually finding a copy of Richard Berry's record?  When you can make out Berry's vocal, you can actually understand Jack Ely as well when you play them back to back), that they let that expletive between verse 1 and 2 slip by. Ha!

making it a top 5, I MUST add:

Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet

and

The Aqua Velvets

Steve said:

My favorite band of all time would have to be the Tiki Men from Sacramento. Probably because I saw them so much and wore out the grooves on 12 Dust Diamonds

Top three bands:
Tiki Men
Aquamen
Bomboras

Top three Songs:
Close To Champagne
Beauty is the Mind
Peach Fuzz

new bomb turks- defiled.... yeah i love the sonics, but the scream after the instrumental bit before the last chorus on defiled does it for me every time! the "hooting" as the feedback fades away just tops it off!!!!

Bit out on a limb here but John Lennon's primal screams at the end of 'Mother' are fairly heartfelt.

Well the obvious answer is Bunker Hill!:

Also, it might not have been quite nearly as feral as Iggy but I always liked the sound of Dave Davies voice when he pushed his limit on those early tunes.

Cool . I was reading where Alice Bag was regarded as a Minority , twice , for being Latina in the L.A. Punk scene. That did make her unique , but she was'nt alone. There was Kid Congo Powers , Ron Reyes , Robert Morales (aka El Vez.), Jeffrey Lee Pierce (mixed.) , Javiero and Alejandro Escovedo , Chris D. (?) , Karlos Kabalerro (?) , Rosie Flores (ex - Punk Rocker.) and many others....But , I'm drawing a blank. Lo siento mucho.

Here's another one...
The scream in Watch Your Step by The Bare Facts.

http://youtu.be/d-1Ha8fYIcA

Happens at around the 1:40 mark.

She was mine by the Beaux Jens (at 2:44). 

"I think I'm gonna scream.... WUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!"

Gets me every time!
