Happy Snaps

[soundog III]

Years ago I bought an Undertakers 45 from guitarist/songwriter Bobby Church. He included these items of memorabilia with the package. What a great guy!

I undertook a different sort of Undertaking a while back.

That poster is amazing.

Seeing as they are a 5 piece combo with sax, I assume it's the Undertakers from Wallasey, UK.

A letter from Vince Jan, of the Fine recording Studio, to the head of the musicians union, Mr. Petrillo. Vince Jan was in the habit of composing long letters about his pet peeves, always about the recording industry and its frustrating deficiencies.

Definitely the UK group, I spy Jackie Lomax's mug in the photo.

I wouldn't bother reading that letter - a display of God-awful penmanship, I get a headache just looking at it!
I would have tossed it in the trash.
I guess Mr Giancurso could not afford a secretary or a typewriter.

Looks more like a rough draft that he would give to a secretary or type himself before mailing it out with all the scribbles and line crossings.

His writing is the main reason many of the Fine studio tapes are unidentifiable.

Aaarghh, 'tis surely a timber shivering cast of scurrilous knaves, eh ?? MTM called it , the pic is from an issue of Big Beat or another one of the numerous circa '63 / 64 UK oversize pop mags. The B&W attached pic is from "The Beat Age" tome of yore...

Chemical standards have their pros, but these radioactive colors of yesteryear tease with an undeniable appeal, too. Does it glow in the dark?

In reality it's not as bright as it appears in the photo. It's more of a burnt orange.

A couple of Snaps that never failed to please. Lacking the Cuppy & Virtue releases is not a happy circumstance, though...

 

[vinyl01]

My happy snap that some has not been seen by many.

 

[soundog III]

Any with the acetate?

 

[vinyl01]

No Problems as all.

Two more examples of the many thousands of mid '60s garage bands that apparently did not leave any kind of recorded musical legacy. Something tells me if they had recorded, it would have been great.

The only mention of The Spyders I could find was in the Terre Haute Tribune, Aug 7 1967, which said "The Spyders and the New Madras will perform and several Go-Go Girls will dance" at the Vigo County Fair.
