If I Were A Rich Man...I Would Put Out Deluxe Vinyl Reissues Of All Those Psych Records On The Mainstream Label So That They Weren't All 100 Dollars Anymore For A Stinky Used Copy

many of these are available on cd!!! contemporize, man!

there was a really tasty reissue of john berberian's middle east rock a few years back. heavyish vinyl, all that. and i don't think i'd trade my $8 scorpio repress of the orient express for a $17 deluxe repress, but that's just me.

man, I always knew the Mainstream label was a large gap in my psych knowledge, but looking at that list really hammers it home. that shit is so hard to find! somebody *does* need to get on that shit. mebbe Akarma will do it like they do everything else. are all those records really all that skot?

Besides you have too much music already.

We are way off topic and it is my fault.

didn't think you were a retard -- I honestly didn't recall that the album was called Oh My God (and it was your use of quote marks which threw me off) I never owned it. I do still have the Reality 12" that I bought when I was 12 years old and had to special order from Musicland because they suck, though.

The first album is great. I Feel Free, Let's Go Get Stoned, and Down on Philips Escalator are some of the highlights.

Why didn't you sell it to me, so we could have avoid this whole confusion?!

The Deadman reissue on Sundazed, I think, pretty much covered it in less space. Joseful essentially did the same album twice.

Re Nugent and contemporaries on the Yardbirds. Yeah, BOC definitely got the Yardbirds, really in live performance where they just killed. Some of it you can hear on "On Your Feet." Killing Floor really new what to do with Yardbirds legacy, too, and bigger amps.

I got a 'repress' of the Kraftwerk double album (one and two) recently. It's surprisingly good sound quality, although the false endings to "Ruckzeug" are absent. I bet that was an Arg pressing.

Hey, link one!

Got a couple of the orignals on vinyl but I'd buy yr reissues.

It's in the arrangements. "Maserati GT," and such. In other matters,
one of my first pieces for Creem many years ago was a BOC interview set to coincide with Imaginos, the last of the line for Columbia. Roeser talked about Mike Bloomfield changing him. 'Course, if you listen to the Stalk-Forrest Group records, the guitarists and arrangements all sound a bit like they were into the Grateful Dead, something confirmed in a comment by Albert Bouchard's wife, Deb Frost, a couple years back.

Maybe the others are coming later.

hey, i was in the record store the other day, THE ONLY RECORD STORE ON THIS ISLAND, and, of course, they had what looked to be a new reissue/boot of the mighty *Plastic Cloud* album. One of my faves of all time and one of the great great canuck psych albums. i might have to buy it. it might sound marginally better than the boot i already own. anyhow, if you have never heard it, YOU MUST BUY A COPY IMMEDIATELY. It is essential and urgent and key and all that.

also, what's the best Seed album?

scorpio records out of NJ, dude. i've been told he has some weird deal with the labels where he has carte blanche to do reissues of 60s and 70s stuff from the masters. i can't vouch for the truth of that, of course.

plastic cloud thirded/fourthed - my girlfriend hated it the first time she bought it (probably the laser's edge version) because it said "MONSTER FUZZ PSYCH OUT NIGHTMARE BAD TRIP FUZZ MONSTER" and it's really pretty mellow even with that fuzz guitar skating around like mad. great!

the shame about the superfine dandelion is that a straight reissue wouldn't include their amazing 45. and the album really isn't that good.

hrm, see, i just came here to post that the superfine dandelion is the best of the ones i've listened to so far! very straightahead. got a nice buffalo springfield vibe to it.

other ones i listened to are Tiffany Shade and Ellie Pop. Tangerine Zoo up next.

I've only listened to the Growing Concern so far .. but I enjoyed it. Some good fuzz, some dopey lyrics. Bought the Tangerine Zoo but haven't listened yet.

I listened to Tiffany Shade the other day too and liked that one. I wish I liked tangerine Zoo more.. I listened to most of it at the store but i couldn't get into it so much. they're from RI! i have to like them! it's like how i wish there was a KBD band from RI even if they were horrible.

ANYWAY, i think "some dopey lyrics" is kinda OTM for all these. but on the whole they're really not bad; certainly no worse than a lot of other musics. (i mean, listening to hardcore punk in general is a lot more difficult than listening to dopey psych, paying strict attention to the lyrics.)

where is Tim Ellison?

i still vote for superfine dandelion! for all fans of buffalo springfield/moby grape/rock and roll mellow vibes. with bonus songs about bein sad about girls.

im putting a scorpio order together soon if anyone wants in
email thebunnybrains attttt geemail dot com

and by th looks of some of th catalogs they r colored wax too

scorpio sometimes has really weird options. there are like three versions of that gandalf record! blue, black or PICTURE DISC! i wonder how many hundreds of gandalf picture discs they're sitting on.

couldn't i just CALL scorpio if i wanted them? why would i have to deal with a bunnybrain. plus, you are going on tour and i would never get them. in any case, i have no money. i figure they will be around forever. bob dickie sells them on his wdcd ebay. wdcd? is that it? i think that's it. although i think those dustygroove prices are even cheaper.

i have loved scorpio since i was a lowly 16 yr old sales clerk at RecordWorld in Danbury..The giant boxes of weird dollar records still sealed would pour through the door every month or so and with my discount i could buy as many as i want.Then later on when I thought people would actually buy SS copies of Funkadelic lps i bought a ton of those for th store in Pawling.All they wanted was Bob Marley.

Just piggyback your piggyorder to my piggymail,
xpost-when r u reading in nyc sctt,cuxx i will book a bunny show for yur evening entertainment if u want

i think the marooned book reading party thing is gonna be august 22nd at housing works bookstore in soho (is that where it is?). but phil will have to confirm that for sure. he's still trying to figure out how many people will be coming, i think. i think it will be fun! robin and andy already said that maria and i could crash at their place.

well when u know what is a better nite to rokk loudly,22 or 23.lemme know.i will book sumthing close to HW

i might try to hook up with good ol' doug abraham and beth. haven't seen them in years. and i still have never seen doug's store. lance told me he just opened a new fancy gallery or something too:

http://www.bess-nyc.com/

he sells jewelry to cher and mary j blige and people like that.

yikes,i have more humble clientele(altho Tom Davvis of Frankken and Davvis)comes in now,and we drink beers,and hes kinda the mary j blige of comedy writing.to me.cuz i loved snl.

hes writing a book called "thirty years of short term memory loss",which sounds like an awkward ape at 70's era luminites putting it all down for history,except that he wrote alot of the history.

Growing Concern is nice. The forced exposure website called it folk though, and that doesn't seem right.

alright, listened to superfine dandelion today... just ignore the shit out of anything i said above, it's a great album. it just took a while to really get at me. oh, and the reissue has "the other sidewalk" from their 45. but not "ferris wheel," i think, which is a killer little mope-psych tune.

A lot of these are available now as downloads on Amazon. Pretty good prices - 89 cents per track or $7.99 per album, some even cheaper.

a pot of flowers is so essential

That band Wildflower on that sounds really good from the clips.

I got some excellent tracks by Growing Concern and Ellie Pop.
