I agree 100%. It doesn't go out on a limb at all. Good call.

I'm kinda expecting to be shot down here but The Wailers version is pretty damn lame

naturally the pistols never mind the bollocks is the leader of the pack. they solidified the entire movement. this is an iconic album. Andy Butler said:

yeah! the first Ramones started it all really......the ultimate garage band album...and first punk album.

I wanted to mention Sex Pistols Never Mind The Bollocks too originally....maybe seems a bit too obvious...but really that was a classic..without them where would punk be.

I found that comp last year at a record store. It's fantastic. Classic punk tunes from the late 70's. Solid choice. sleazy said:

I once had a punk collection album sent to me by an Italian friend simply called Punk Collection Vol I (I think) and it featured trax like Fall Out by early Police and other bands like The Damned, The Boys, early Patti Smithetc. ..........it had a beautiful picture of a loo on the cover....don;t remember much else about it thou.

The first Damned album is near perfect. Love the barf cover!

They sure did ! I used to live 'round the corner from where they did the photos for the album cover. At the time it was an abandoned old house...I hear that today it's now a yuppie restaurant, how sad ! Cheers, Wig Andy Butler said:

The Saints had the first punk single with Stranded.....even though they didnt know it.

Just been listenin' to entirely too much Beach Boys (as well as my guilty early ska pleasures...oh lord)

Last summer it was all sleazy instrumentals (w/ loads of latin/tropical/bongo tunes thrown in fer good measure)...think' I need to dust some of the those nuggets off, ya dig?

& I can't believe I'm sayin' this but I could go the whole dreaded summer without once hearin' any variation of "Summertime Blues" ...I've wore that tune straight out!

Since I had witnessed my neighbor...in a burqa... mowing the lawn. Ive been inspired to write one! ;-)

Always like to listen to Jimmy Smith in the car when driving on a sunny day

What's on your summertime playlist this year? Songs about summer, fun, girls, going to the beach, etc. I'll try to compile and post my own list shortly, but I wanted to get this rolling since it's already June!

Rollerskate by Angie Heaton
But a bit faster and a little more dirty...

It sounds like there's some serious talk of starting a roller derby league in my area. With my band being on hiatus, I thought it would be a kick to start a side project just to play mostly covers at their afterpartys and do Rollerland by the Twiliters. What other songs would go well on the setlist?

Here is a list of groups and public figures I considered seminal and far and away head and shoulders above the pack in influence:
Cramps (who more than anyone else opened up the surge of interest in rockabilly and 60's garage to the hoi polloi)
Stooges (like George Washington 'nuff said)
Lester Bangs (as an early champion in the press)
Link Wray (what band worth listening to DOESN'T owe a debt to him?)
Ronnie Dawson (one of the top 5 concerts I ever saw)
Fuzztones (The Lysergic Emanations LP galvanized me as a late teenager.)
Standells
DMZ (punk pioneers who dredged up the old muck)
Sonics
Dave Allen and the Arrows (for that rattle of the Mosrite Fuzzrite pedal)

That being said, I agree with Jamie. Halls of Fame are for sports, and if we were all captains of our high school football teams or prom queen cheerleaders we wouldn't BE here!

Beats the living fug outta Dexter Poindexter! Doesn't anyone out there remember THAT monstrosity? "Feelin' hot hot hot!" Aye Aye Aye ARRRRRRRIBA!
No, really, just as I had discovered in my house some scratchy old early Springsteen albums I sorta hear some of the same spirit in the new 'Dolls, which isn't a bad thing by any stretch. It brings a much needed new aspect to their music. You just can't be on a dead end heroin death wish forever not even under the best of circumstances.

A bit to my chagrin: you're joking, hopefully;
it's David 'n'Syl ;
and the NY Dolls's (and Eddie Cochran's) spirit is obviuously still there;
plus Johansen sings better than evah;
Luv'
Ivan

I saw the guys play a couple of years ago here in Austin for SXSW. Sure, it was only Syl and David in the band. But hey, it was THE New York Dolls. The gig blew me away...they kicked ass on all the old faves. Sure it was "slicker" than the vintage Dolls...but it was still greasy fun rock n roll at it's best. I've heard a few tunes off the new album, it didn't really grab me. But you've got to be realistic, you can't expect guys 30 plus years after the fact to write, play, and sound the same as they did back in the day. All I can say is good on 'em for getting out there and doing it...Cheers, Wig

that looks great! i love that Young John Watson track. Fuzzmeister said:

The Instro compilation "Loose Ends - Rave from the Grave, Blast From the Past Series Vol.2" is pretty good.

Track list here:

http://rcs.law.emory.edu/rcs/comps/u/uni748.htm

thats awesome. thanks for all the info! i also found out (after searching for Ian Sippen's name) that him and Peter Sherster recorded some people and had a studio. i'm guessing this is where they bootlegged these recordings. The quality of the Link Wray and Eddie Cochran LPs (the next day after posting this i took home the Eddie Cochran too) aren't very good at all, but still great collections of some cool stuff. Thanks for telling me about those other records. do you know if they only put out these four LPs? i'll keep an eye out for the others if not for any other reason than just consistancy. hah.

thanks for all the info!

The Instro compilation "Loose Ends - Rave from the Grave, Blast From the Past Series Vol.2" is pretty good. Track list here: http://rcs.law.emory.edu/rcs/comps/u/uni748.htm

I believe the people behind this label were Ian Sippen and Peter Sherster, who get mentioned in Clinton Heylin's book 'Bootleg'. Said book is itself bootlegged here: http://books.google.com/books?id=saWBw9ZG2cgC&pg=PA115&lpg=PA115&dq=Ian+Sippen&source=bl&ots=wQD-cs-HXe&sig=kSpM1iWy-6m-J1TBAWZNot8H_60&hl=en&ei=tC8kSsvCIp6ktAOPrPChBA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6#PPA113,M1 The Eddie Cochran LP ('A Legend In Our Time') is (presumably) the first release on the label, as its serial number is 'U.P. 001'). It was released in 1971. Time-wise this is at a very early stage of the Rock'n'Roll reissue program. The LP contains some Cochran Brothers material, Eddie's clip from the film 'Untamed Youth' (I'm guessing they might have taped it off of a television set to a reel-to-reel recorder) and some of Eddie's live-to-air performances for BBC Radio's 'Saturday Club' show in 1960 (again, probably taped direct from the airwaves). Other than the Link Wray disc and the Eddie Cochran LP, I know of two other releases on the label. One is a compilation called 'Transfusion', released in 1972. This LP contains Rock'n'Roll and Rockabilly from the likes of Nervous Norvus (the title track), Big Al Downing, John Greer, Ronnie Self and Vince Taylor & The Playboys (the original version of 'Brand New Cadillac), amongst others. There's also a brief interview with Buddy Holly, again, taped from the radio. What's remarkable about this LP is the sleeve notes; they contain a rant where Sippen attempts to justify release of the LP by quoting then-current prices for rare rockabilly singles: "Collectors that I have spoken with recently are nauseated at having to pay outrageous prices for certain discs... 17 (pounds Sterling) for a Charlie Feathers King 45? 18 (pounds) for a Johnny Carroll Decca disc? Just what the hell is going on? These prices are common. Is any record worth that much? Certainly NOT." In today's terms 17 and 18 pounds roughly works out to about $36. (Imagine finding an original Charlie Feathers 45 for that!). The whole thing comes sleeved in a cover that features a Robert Crumb drawing, taken from the cover of a then-current issue of 'Snatch Comics', which would have been sold in head shops of the time.

Here's my copy of the LP, which I'd added some custom text etc to on the inner bag, as I used to use it for DJ'ing on radio and in clubs.

There's also a compilation of Rock'n'Roll instrumental tracks. This copy is from the collection of my friend Neil.

While these comps are interesting as they are some of the first reissues of early Rock'n'Roll and Rockabilly, they are virtually useless when it comes to sound quality etc. There are legal CD (and vinyl) reissues of many of these tracks, with vastly improved audio.
