JohnBattle, that's an extensive list, alot I wasn't aware of, will have to search out.

Couldn't find a decent clip of the two in the same scene, but:

Lemmy and Shane McGowan in "Eat The Rich"

Screamin Jay Hawkins in Mystery Train another great movie and appearance.

Pretty good scene of the Yardbirds.

Iggy Pop - The Color Of Money

0.53 - 0.54

Another one of ol' Tom

The Clash in the King of Comedy and widening it The Standells are in an episode of The Munsters

From "Rock , Baby Rock It" , shot in Ft. Worth with Johnny Carroll , Deacon Smith (?) , Kay Martin (President of The Elvis Fan Club , and , boy , could she dance dirty. I met her several years ago , real cool lady , looked great , too.). This is a real Rock'n'Roll movie  with real Rock 'n'Roll teens , so quit bitching about technical jive.

Minor Threat, "Minor Threat"

The Freeze, "This is Boston, Not L.A."

Single-minded, a Big Beat singles anthology is worth picking up, got the Tall Boys, Delmonas, Stingrays etc. The Blood on the cats albums are worth picking up as well although they are also mixed with rockabilly/psychobilly, both scenes in the UK were very mixed at the time.

Also The Wigs did a couple of great singles, there was also a great compilation album on Media Burn the title of which escapes me, will dig it out later.

Yeah I haven't yet checked out Thee Wildebeests (apart from on the Mark Lammar Show back in the day). I'm slow too much to fynde!

This is a great thread! Lots to hunt down. Anyone mention Scotland's The Wildebeests. Not sure exactly when they formed, but have been around a good while now. Dirty Water put out a retrospective last year that's definitely worth checking out.

Hey this is where I shoulda been when I started a discussion on Psychobilly into Garage, (started in Trading Post, oops)... oh well , yeah I remember the UK scene pretty well (although still only a teen at the tyme).. one comp that did it for me was "Garage Goodies Vol 1" put out by the above mentioned Mike Spencer .

tracks by Surfadelics, X-Men ,Jailbirds ,Commuters (Bubble Car, brill), Change Lings, Legendary Vegetarians (did he make this stuff up?),Creepshow (Tilt A Whirl),Bad Karma Beckons, The Cannibals(Spencers band, whom were total TRASH, Yeah),Killed in Action (Vietnam, hillarious),Sting Rays(of course),Vertex,Milkshakes, Nips (Shane McGowans 1st band), Spots (Legalise Cannabis Campain,Sex Pistols On Tour) & finally The Codine Cowbys with Hoo Doo Man!

Si mon

WERE'NT THE SURFADELICS THE CANNIBALS IN DISGUISE? WRECKLESS ERIC SAID HE ALMOST JOINED A BAND WITH AN AMERICAN SINGER THAT WERE DOING STANDELLS , CHOCOLATE WATCHBAND , ETC. I ASKED , BY CHANCE , IF THIS WAS MIKE SPENSER HE WAS REFERRING TO.HE SAID , "YEAH. HOW'D YOU KNOW?" ...I ASKED IF THIS WAS BEFORE OR AFTER SPENCER'S BRIEF STINT IN THE COUNT BISHOPS . HE SAID , "mIKE SPENCER WAS IN THE COUNT BISHOPS?"

I played in The Surfadelics in the mid-80s in London (not to be confused with the later, Italian band!) There was a big garage scene at the time, centered around the Clarendon at Hammersmith. I remember The Milkshakes, The Cannibals, Treatment (psychedelic)

 

Wow, 20 minutes? Sheesh, I'm so old school that if a song is going all the way to 5 minutes it better be changing my life! I can't think of ANY song that went that long that held my interest. But on the lighter side, this one was around 15 minutes, and it's the longest song that I have actually sat all the way through (feel free to add plenty of cheese!)

Meco: "Star Wars Theme/Cantina Band"

nice

"Billy the Mountain" by the Mothers

Space Is the Place, by Sun Ra!

syd barrett is better :P

no its not but most of it is

Share your fave songs, at least 20 minutes long. :-)

Try "Lost Episodes" or "Mystery Disc" for more Zappa garage sounds like "Speed Freak Boogie" and "Charva".  Music is the best!

Yeah, I love Zappa's early '60s stuff. I'm not a big 45 collector so I don't have any of those you list above, but I do have the "Cucamonga" CD on Del-Fi which is a collection of some of this Zappa stuff. It has his Bob Guy "Letter to Jeepers" and some other goofy stuff like the Rotations, Baby Ray & the Ferns, Mr. Clean, etc. I especially like the Rotations' surf stuff. Pretty cool! Good luck in your quest.

Hi GRGPNKers ... Frank Zappa was also certainly involved with some of the releases on the U.S. Donna label  which was a subsiduary of Del-Fi. I also have an Rhino LP called 'Rare Meat'  which features Frank's DONNA releases as highlighted below in the list. & also some Aertuan releases that feature Frank's 'surf' guitar (but again can't remember of the top of my head which ones as everthing is still in a real mess here...)

anyway I was wondering - Does anyone know of any other early 45's from this list or other labels prior to the Mothers of Invention that he played on? ...or of any others that he may have either produced or written for on this label? (or possibly Del-Fi)

I have few 45's on the DONNA label, although of the top of my head - I can't can't remember which ones aside from some by Ron Holden, and also the crazy 'Hully Gully Trumpets' by Don Markham & the Marksmen ( and possibly other 45's kickin around somewhere too...) My interest in Frank Zappa's earlier stuff is in the way that he played guitar as I also play guitar myself.

Found this excellent DONNA list as copied below at www.globaldogproductions.com

It's a fab site full of tons stuff & info about zillions of labels etc...  well worth a visit ; )
