RNEP 605

I bought this record over the weekend http://www.amazon.com/Best-Louie-Vol/dp/B0000032IJ/ref=pd_sim_m_1 except on vinyl LP not CD like the link. The track listing on my sleeve is:

A
LL - Rice University Marching Owl Band Band
LL - Richard Berry
LL- Rockin' Robin Roberts
LL - The Sonics
LL- The Sandpipers

B
LL - The Kingsmen
LL - The Last
LL - Black Flag
LL - Les Dantz and his Orchestra
The Hallelouie Chorus - The Impossibles

The only problem is, side B of the record I have is all songs by the 80's heavy metal band Bitch!! What the hell?!

Does anyone know if this was a common error on the pressing of this comp?

Not high on my list but a nice first pitch. A friend introduced me to Johnny Bolin(Black Oak Arkansa drummer) brother to Tommy Bolin the guitarist. For those that might need a short background on Tommy, Jeff Beck said he was the most naturally gifted player he knew of. Anyway Johnny was eager to entertain because Glen Buxton (guitarist, founder of Alice Cooper Band) had come along with me. After Johnnies gig was over that night he invited us over, as I walk in his porch I see the speakers I lusted after back in 1975-ESS known for their pleated ribbon mid-tweets, hot shit then and $$ now). I told him the story and said he had a buyer if he ever wanted to sell them. He said I could have them for $150 "sold" as he opens the front door he tells me they were Tommy's-----instant boner---and that he was keeping the other two in the basement. So Tommy went quad in 75, as Glen and Johnny shoot it I'm thinkin SWEET, the buzz was killed several minutes later when Johnny said he wanted to think about it for a day or two. A related trivia nugget, when Richie Blackmore took time off from Deep Purple Tommy stepped in. The Purple's manager had been close to Jimi Hendrix and had his ring which he placed on Tommy's finger at his funeral.

10 Years ago was after a Farfisa Professional and came across a Farfisa Compact via telephone to music store interstate. I knew nothing about the Compact at the time and thought it looked like a kids toy and sounded awful over the phone..so I passed it up..duh!!

The asking price $150..A cheap compact ...priceless ..turning it down..bloody stupid!

Records, guitars,cars,girls and guys. If your like me those tough to forget "I was that close" memories of something special getting away are stuck like glue. Share the pain and maybe share a laugh. As Screamin Jay Hawkins said so wisely "Let it go, let go, let it go" from the song "Constipation Blues"

Thank you. Total life-saver.

shakin ass sucking gas i will smash guitars
dont applaud im a god not a superstar
i'm full of beer and i'm hung like a steer so come on baby climb on
just give me something full of metal and steel
makes me upset gets me wet makes me bleed
we're on the air god if youre there send us a sign

super cupid showed her stupid tattoos
the head of elvis and it said born to lose
and on her ass there were a couple of screws
a screaming eagle a bottle of booze
a kamikaze nazi countdown from mars
a funny banging sound i found by hanging around in bars
31 flavors and my favorite scars
a suicide note i found in my coat

(full of beer and i dont want to hear you honky honky tonk song)

Real god of thunder sound!! Something similar did it Josh Homme in Kyuss stuff; he gets into a bass amp but I read somewhere he tunes all strings two steps below and drop the E string down to C

I play through a fender deluxe/hot rod 40w 12 inch then take a line from pre-amp out into an old trace elliot 7 band graphic 15 inch. This gives me a fat dirty sound with loads of bottom end. We don't have a bass player and at live shows folks always say 'who's triggering the bass lines'. The answer is there's no bass lines being triggered it all comes from my guitar sound. I use no effects pedals, it's pure and simple. All our recordings are done with this set up, no overdubs just one performance. I play drop D tuning and set the graphic up real heavy on the Trace Elliot.

I'm using a Fender Pro Jr. that is good for playin' at home,and I'm thinkin of changin' its speaker, now that Celestion starts to build the 10 inches version of various Greenback,Blue,Vintage30 etc.(I guess I'll check a "Gold")
I often hear to talk about guitar models,or fuzz and stomp effects,but the amp is the other 50% of your sound.So I'd like to know some impressions about in your experience.

really 'Glad' that i stumbled Onto this!! had a 'X' take-Off with a BUNCH Of my Guitar stuff!!
Yeah, The B*t*h should DIE! ..But that's a subject for another forum...

So What do Ya like (SO MUCH!!) about it? ~that BIG MUFF ..WHO does it make Ya sould like?? PERKS, .. downfalls??
discuss discuss!!
FANKX & Cheers

Well like I said, I just know it as a story but it was a good enough story that they decided to apply it to Little Walter. But Little Walter never personally went through that. Sonny Boy Williamson had a few Chess Records releases but I hear that he's not part of the movie. Neither is Bo Diddley and he had bigger hits than Muddy Waters. Did they bother to have Howlin' Wolf?

Nah, that was really a Sonnyboy Williamson incident. And I really have no idea if it ever took place. But the story is, after the original Sonny Boy died in the 30s, a harmonica player named Rice Miller took the name...he had his own radio show (sponsered by King Biscuit Flower) while he was still living in the south and had quite a few blues hits after moving to Chigago. Rice Miller was also the same guy who went to England and was backed by the Animals and the Yardbirds which someone had the smarts to record.

But somewhere early on before any of that happened, someone else was going around doing gigs as Sonny Boy Williamson but again, it wasn't because he was trying to steal something from Rice Miller, he just had tghe same idea to take the name as the original had died in the 30s. If the guy ever was taken down by Rice Miller, I don't know.

I let the inaccuracies slide in order to simply enjoy the period re-creation and to listen to that music in that context. One inaccuracy that bugged the shit out of me, though, was the guy playing Leonard Chess looking like a guy from the 90s who showed up in the 50s. The other characters were dressed and coiffed appropriately, but not the main character.

It was like when Happy Days characters started having 70s hair in the late 50s/early 60s.

Speaking of historical accuracy, did Little Walter really shoot a guy who was pretending to be him?

Somewhere in the forums someone mentioned a garage related lyrics page and someone actually has come close to putting up a lot of good songs, including "Where You Gonna Go" (wow that song is tough) try here: http://webrock.free.fr/U/unrelatedsegments-whereyougonnago.txt Mal Thursday said:

I'm looking for the real lyrics to the Unrelated Segments' "Where You Gonna Go."

I sang some gobbledegook on the Malarians' 1986 recording of the song, and want to get 'em right on the reunion tour.

try this site. My friend sent it to me as a great source for my themes (and to make sure there are no swears if I play them over live air)- http://www.leoslyrics.com/

I work at WFMU, which is a freeform independent radio station here in the NYC area.  It also have a great world presence as well on the web.  If you are interested in having your band's music played at the station, where there are some GREAT shows, let me know!  I can get your music to the right people!  

I went through the site and found the following contact info:

Sound Of The Surf, LLC

Don't know anything about it but there was a website http://www.soundofthesurf.com/ Hope that helps a little.

I found a site about this movie dedicated to the surf music around the world featuring lots of actual bands..who can tell something more about it?

I recently bought the Skinface fuzz from these guys ->http://circuitbentlasergun.com and apart from a little hassle finding the sound i wanted, I must admit i'm pretty satisfied with it considering being a real budget pedal.. Next one i buy will be a Vox Tonebender!

Yeah why isn't it cheap to make garage music anymore? It's way too expensive to get a Bee Baa or Maestro, Tonebender, Fuzzrite etc. The cheapest cool looking one I know besides making one would be the Ashbass Fuzzbrite. But $115 still isn't cheap to me. I thinks that's what the price is.

I don't know why some company like danelectro won't fill this obvious void. It can't be that hard to make say a simple fuzzrite clone, or maestro clone with silicon to cut the costs a bit.

I'm going to try to make one soon. Most likely a fuzzrite.
