I was looking for information about Jerry Cole and his various projects and came across this "review" on Amazon.com by one of the members of The Id. I thought it quite interesting. Maybe it's common knowledge here, but just in case: "The Innersounds of the ID - The True Story By...

By the way the arranger (and writer) is Stu Phillips who did some great soundtracks. "Hells Angels on wheels" for example.

I love that tune! I got a copy with the Japanese picture sleeve, which I think is ultra-cool. I love orchestrated surf sounds anyway. One of my favourites is "Night Of The Lions" by Surf Symphony (Mark Eric). A killer on the dancefloor. Anyway, that one is The Astronauts with "Main Title From...

This thread is like a gripping detective story with a perfect denouement.

I love this! The Plagues! On stage! I don't care about outfits, age or whatever. They sound great!!!! Even the new song "The Lonely One" is cool (much cooler than most anything new from any original band I ever heard)! Those vids make me even more a fan of this band. I'd love to have been there...

That sounds nice, too!

Yeah, the Steadfasts are far from your place, though pretty close to mine. I wonder, should I try to investigate a bit? I'd be interested in the Steadfasts story too. Plus, who knows if some 45s might show up... I met a younger guy some weeks ago who found 5 NM copies of "Girl Be Steadfast" or...

A Steadfasts story for Ugly Things? Cool!! How far did you get with it?

The Charlatans brought ole-timey music into pop music, similar to the Lovin Spoonful, but more radical (and with less commercial appeal). I love ole-timey music and I guess the Charlatans introduced me to it. Dan Hicks remained true to that type of music throughout his life and one of his last...
