Here are a few pics to help you visualize this Garage Punk "mystery" :

-First, here's the tracklisting for volume 3 as written on the back cover :

Great, isn't it ?

-Now, enjoy the cool tracklisting as listed on the back of volume 4 :

(Sorry, I was pretty drunk when I snapped those pictures...)

Cool uh ?

Now enjoy the labels...

-Volume 3 :

Man, I love this comp !!!

- And now (roll of drums), here's the joke : look out for volume 4 !!!

How groovy, isn't it ?!?

Same tracklisting as volume 3 !!!

Once again, the actual tunes you hear when you play this volume 4 are the ones listed on the label (same as volume 3), not the ones listed on the back sleeve !!!

Any erudite lights on this, punks ???

I'm waiting... ;)

Cheers !!!

Hey, you look familiar to me!

 

here is the vox phantom i picked up yesterday 

Yep, spot on. There are a lot of great guitars coming out of Korea these days. Most of them up to spec with the more expensive Japanese models available. Check them out and remember you can always modify them to suit your personal taste.

not true. I have 2 'cheap' korean build guitars and they play great. even the local luthier said they are really well made guitars. overcome your prejudices and give them a try ;-)

good plan but i dont like todays cheap stuff they so poorly made compared to old ones

Schecters are Korean made, and have a fit and finish which certainly surpasses some of the stock Gibsons I've seen... have also heard favorable things about certain Chinese Esquire models, which shame US Fenders.  Heard about "lawsuit" guitars from Japan?.. the Japanese certainly put out ther share of low-quality crap through the sixties, but in the late Seventies and early Eighties they really got their shit together, and concerning Korean/Chinese stuff I think history is in the process of repeating itself.

You guys are probably right about all the timing of who met/saw who when, and yes of course McLaren managed the Dolls for a while and saw all the early NY scene and was inspired by it, and of course the Pistols sound evolved as they gelled as a band, taking in newer influences etc, but I still think that as an original influence, Glam was a major one, as was 60's garage (which was also one of the Ramones influences...). But the English scene developed distinct from the US/NY one, even though some of the same factors led to both... the English 'Winter(s) of Discontent' et al gave the UK a very political edge... it's hard to describe quite how bleak England had become by the mid-70s, the whole class system/dole/poverty issues which made punk such a liberating thing for so many of us, both as being musicians and just being young and poor/bored/restless/etc etc. And for a few years it changed everything for us... but then the old order reasserted itself, and despite a few other breakouts, is more consolidated today than ever... hello 'reality'/Xfactor/Idol-World (sigh!)

I just assumed Dee Dee was right about meeting the Sex Pistols at the Roundhouse (in Please Kill Me).  I probably wouldn't be wrong that he did have the worst memory.

The Pistols may have been a band since '75, but their sound wasn't really honed until much later (early '76). Bands evolve over time, and I wouldn't doubt that seeing the Ramones definitely had an influence on their sound when they became huge, even though Lydon later denied liking their image or their sound. Also, don't forget that McLaren was also heavily influenced (or rather, inspired) by Richard Hell (Television) and the lower Manhattan punk scene of the early '70s while he was there working w/ the New York Dolls. McLaren even tried to recruit Hell to front the Pistols. And wasn't the first time the Pistols saw the Ramones at Dingwall's (the night after the Roundhouse gig)?

thanks i red silvertone some where else

When I seen them in Hoboken Larry was using a Vox AC30.

I've also seen some vids where he was using a Marshall & an old amp that looked like a Silvertone or Univox.

Hope this is of use,

Billy

I also played a couple of these songs on the latest Big Enchilada (Joey Allcorn and Whitey Morgan) and, of course been playing all kinds of tracks from this and Vol. 1 on my local radio show. Cool tunes.

This is FANTASTIC! Thanks a ton

Listening to their tracks I hear some guitar thrown in there. I'm pretty sure they use one of those.

the amazing onemanband, the fabulous gogo boy from alabama, chuck violence, o lendario chucrobillyman, wasted pido, number 71, trash colapso............... they have a fuckin rockandroll soul!!!!

Scott H. Biram is pretty good, too.

Show #339: "The Eggman Collection #101"

Every 3 weeks I do a series of shows called The Eggman Collection, which originally was an old tape/cd collection of songs that I like. Now since I have little time due to work and stuff, I made it into a radio program. It's a big mix of songs I like, no matter what they are, what genre, style, or era...whatever...If I like it, I play it. This provides a big potpourri of music from all sorts of different artists, and also brings out several guilty pleasures you wouldn't expect me to listen to. Tune in tonight (Friday) at 10pm EST for the 101st installment of The Eggman Collection and hear bands and artists like: David Bowie, Edgar Broughton Band, Love, Bump, The Electric Flag, Mutantes, Spooky Tooth, Country Weather, The Birds, Giles Giles & Fripp, The Byrds, Gun, The Kinks, The Electric Prunes, Sweet Thursday, The Odyssey, The Jefferson Handkerchief, The Majic Ship, Jet, Gandalf The Grey, The United States Of America, George Harrison, Family, Simon Dupree & The Big Sound, Strawbs, and many many more!!!
