Cool Beltones tune, sounds like a punk version of the Pogues in that song.

Everyone should know, love, appreciate and emmulate the Beltones. Their On Deaf Ears EP collects all their early 7 inches onto a CD. Only 20 minutes. But 20 minutes is all you need to have your life turned upside down!! I love this goddamn band.

Whoa - the cover alone looks amazingly badass, almost have to buy it just based on that! I found some clips on amazon, sound pretty damn Hawt!
Thanks for sharing Kopper

Here's one you probably don't have, but is an amazing live recording from a Minneapolis band who was around in the late '70s playing wild & raucous garage trash when no one else was! It's insanely good...
The Cramps: File Under Sacred Music Early Singles 1978–1981
MFC Chicken. This album is insanely catchy.
Anything by Shocking Blue.
It's About Time - The Alarm Clocks!!!
When I made the original post last year, I said my radio shows were not archived.
Well, now a few of them are, on Mixcloud. I've got a grand total three up at the moment, but they all are doozies.
You can find them all at http://www.mixcloud.com/steveterrell
Bookmark that page. I'll be adding more when the spirit says "Upload."
I just uploaded the first half of the Sound World show where I interviewed Wheeler Dixon and Michael Downey of Figures of Light.
There's also one from May with my pal Scott Gullett co-hosting.
And there's my Santa Fe Opry from January, when I celebrated New Mexico's 100th birthday
Amazing turnaround on the volumes. Amazing it is up to Volume 8. What can I say more than "thanks" to Kopper for the conception, organisation, orchestration, etc., and thanks to all the bands who make their music available.

Just remembered - North Effects based in London does a pretty decent FZ-1A clone (he calls a 'Primitive') for only about £70 or so. It has no fancy paint job, just a good sounding box using non original trannies but powered by a single pencil battery just like the originals. He's a great guy to deal with (I'm not affiliated) and it destroys the Boss facsimilie of a maestro...
A lot of the Sonics sound was acheived by pushing the amps and red-lining the mixing desk I believe. That Outsiders track (and most of the fuzz sounds on the BFTG series) is almost certainly a Gibson Maestro Fuzz-Tone (probably an FZ-1A), judging both by the sound and the year ('66). The Seeds used a Maestro fuzz-tone. The Mosrite fuzzrite is a really fantastic fuzz but is more along the lines of Dave Allan and the Arrows, the Ventures and of course Iron Butterfly. The Ashbass clone is a pretty good and great value clone but I reckon the Mahoney fuzzrite clone, Jerms, DAM stuff is better, although it will cost more. The Boss FZ-5 maestro patch is to an original maestro as a mobile phone photograph of a Van Gogh is to the original painting, imo. It will give you a flavour of the maestro and the way it changes your approach to playing but has some ugly background digital artefacts, gates absolutely and abrubtly (unlike an original) and has no depth of character to the sound - a 2D rendering of a sculpture perhaps?! As far as FZ-1/FZ-1A clones go, the best I have heard use the original transistors and that would really be Jerms or Creepyfingers. Ghost effects makes a very good FZ-1 clone using non-original transistors and is consequently much cheaper. A Big Muff was really a late 60s/early 70s fuzz after Hendrix convinced the guitarists of the world that they needed loads of wailing sustain and I don't personally feel it will get you anywhere close to the tones you are describing. The best resource regarding the early fuzzboxes that I have found would be the DAM forum, frightening amount of knowledge held within those pages!
Conclusion? Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-1A or FZ-1. Good luck with your quest anyways!
Just added a bunch more of you! (And, oh my, what great taste you all have. Of course.)
You're welcome:)

I looked through your pictures. Thanks for sharing.
MikeL said:Yes, his hair is spectacular, but is it his own? All things aside about his personality, he is a great performer, and I place him alongside Jagger, Iggy, and Stiv as one of the great frontmen.
I saw a show from each of those tours. I saw the first one in September at Irving Plaza in NYC, and I saw the other two at the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland in October and November. I have some pictures posted here, if you're interested. I hope you liked the go go dancers, because I took A LOT of pictures of them, one in particular;)
Jerrie O'Koon-Hughes said:Sorry to hear this. You really can't beat them for great garage rock. I saw them only once live at one of the Little Steven tours but their show was great. Greg Provost seemed to be on another planet but you couldn't take your eyes off him. He also has some of the best rock n roll hair, ever!

Thanks for the Plan 9 update!
It's been six months or more since I've joined and i only just realized that i haven't actually posted yet...
Hi.
I'm AJ.
From the UK.
Lover of Music but really can't play... i need both hands and a strong bag to carry a tune.
Not in a Band [see last statement] but love listening to music.
Anything from Native America Pow-Wow to 80s Goth...
Has anybody mentioned The Movements yet? I've just been sent a 10" E.P. to review for Shindig! Happening online mag - http://www.happening-magazine.com/. Gothenburg's The Movements share the E.P. with French garage band Angry Dead Pirates, and mighty fine it is too. It's available on Pariah Records and more details can be found here - http://www.themovements.com/releases/10-split-with-angry-dead-pirates/
DO YOU MEAN THE COMMERCIAL RELEASE , JUST CALLED "GLAM ROCK"?
GREAT STUFF. There's a volume 2 , not released in the states , with Sparks , Alvin Stardust , Mud , Suzi Quatro and the usual suspects.

A good friend gave me a video on VHS many years ago with all the old school glam fav's like Sweet, Gary Glitter, Slade, T-Rex with the footage being sourced from American Bandstand style British television. This was fantastic since there was no such thing as YouTube back then. I may have to dig that up. Overall, I think Sweet had the catchiest/hookiest songs to back up their outlandish persona. Check 'em out here:
Nice video , thanks. It's funny , a lot of people did'nt get hip to the fact that Sweet was toughening up their sound until they moved away from Chinnichap. One only needs to hear their first (U.S.) LP , which has elements of their earlier Bubblegum sound , but , it's as much a precursor to Punk as Slade (Whom they were being compared to , for the first time , around 72 - 73.).

I'd probably push someone out a window if they were dancing ON my LP.

I also agree! "On Fyre" makes you wild! When I left my last apartment, I had a party to celebrate this with friends and it's while dancing on this LP that one of them passed through a window! We had to go to the hospital at 4AM, completely drunk! "Don't give it up now", "Help you Ann", etc are great tunes! I don't know if the guys are still touring in Europe or not...
Mark Z said:I agree about 'On Fyre.' A great album!
LastofmyKind said:The Lyres - "On Fyre" 1984 or The Monks "Black Monk Time" 1966. I also would throw in The Black Lips "Let It Bloom" 2005.
Link Wray played in our town about 6 months before he died - he was 76.
