Got 'em Mike--exactly what I needed. A good interview job by Beverly too, covering all the basic ground. It's odd how almost nothing has been written about this group; the first psychedelic band in all the Midwest. I owe you one for the future--thanks! "Ssnake eyess... in the tall grasss..."...

Well Sylvain, fortunate circumstances, some of my own doing, have created a situation where I don't need to hold a full-time job anymore... and the hours thus released for fun and games is indeed mostly spent on Lysergia.com matters. By the way, your post inspired me to write a formal note at...

Haven't you heard? The Eternal Now is cryogenically frozen into a snapshot of the past. In other words, it is no longer updated. It was at least 18 months ago that I relocated my internet rants, as follows: - Acid Archives Updates blog ('60s-70s music, including lots of groups and records not...

Hello moptops, been a while but I'm sure it's all moppermost of the poppermost with y'all. I am in big need of issue #6 of Beverly Paterson's Twist & Shake fanzine--or more precisely, I need the Baroques interview found within. A scan of this interview would thus suffice, but I don't mind...

I may well be interested in that other issue of NETS, and other paper matter as well. Do you have a list you could PM me?

The Haunted borrowed from both "Season Of The Witch" and Otis Redding's "Security" on their album, so much so that I find it mildly irritating. A popular target for garage bands were the Turtles "Almost There".

As the Acid Archives book points out, the first run of the reissue contains no "Doug Hanners" credit. Later runs add this credit as well as an insert promoting the Kasuals "Teen Dreams" LP. I believe some people have been fooled by early runs of the '77 reissue over the years. Another thing to...

Aren't the versions on the Vulcan Gas LP the same versions as on the 45, except that they edited it a bit for the 45? Anyway, I used to have this with PS and sold it for $125 or so back in the 1990s... it's a cool artefact with a certain legend factor, but doesn't really carry the Dirty Fithy...

:p

Thanks for posting this, very interesting. The 45 is completely undocumented, despite the fair share of writing for the band over the years (Greg Shaw even wrote about them in Bomp). I'll be adding this info to the Acid Archives update blog. $100 may seem meager for a previously unknown 45 by a...

A belated thanks to Sylvain for all the efforts put in, particularly with regards to the early "mystery" comps like Acid Dreams, Good Roots, Garage Kings, Gathering Of The Tribes etc. I felt a little awkward reading Greg Shaw's defensive comments on the Pebbles series etc -- seems such a...

Those last two Garage Zone volumes must be very rare, I actually doubted they even existed for a long time. 20 years down the line I apologize for my useless, mechanical reviews of the later Boulders and Garage Zones, seems I was getting fed up with the trip at that point. Would be fun to pull...

Not sure today meaning 2012, but say 3-4 years ago he was definitely alive and posting. Reason I remember this is because he had "Author of Children Of The Nuggets" in his forum signature!

That was a whole crate of new info, thanks Sylvain. Funny that the guy who did Glimpses also did Children Of Nuggets -- that book really ruined the day for me back around 1991 or so, when I was working on Age Of Madness. Mark Prellberg told me about the upcoming Children Of Nuggets and sent...

Yeah, the last Flower Power may be too deep into early Grand Funk zones for the book, though it is an intense fuzz ripper, and still non-comp I think. But to my ears at least two of their 45 need to be added, and may even garner decent ratings... Mt Olympus/Trivialities is a killer 2-side IMO...
