Surprise, surprise - idle chatter about TBM

[Nikopol]

The record came out in the fall of 1960, so it is too early to be listed in TBM, it should have been deleted from the index.
Randy Hobbs was from Newport News, Virginia.

thank you very much Mike :)

I just played HITMS vol. 12 and was searching the web for a label scan of The Soul Seekers' cool "Good Revelations", but found nothing.
I see that the song is called "Good Revolations" in TBM - is that the correct spelling?

 

[MopTopMike]

Yes, spelled with the letter "o"

 

[pfft]

Yes, spelled with the letter "o"

Thanks!

Strange that a label called Revelation mispells the title - or maybe it isn't it a misspell?

At some point people complaining about low ratings for personal faves seemed pointless to me. Until I saw that "California Hippies" by Dave Holbrook (listed under Venus Flytrap in TBM) scored a miserable 3. Admittedly it's crude and the solo is nothing to break a guitarist's fingers but having Maine kids lamenting about the summer of love on the other side of the continent makes it one of my fave New England moody-sides. Did anybody else rank it a 7 MTM?

Mike, is it a mistake that the Centuries released the remake of "I Love You No More" (June '65) before the Blackstones' original version (July '65)?
(BTW anyone can provide a file of the latter?)

The correct hometown for The Flowers, Fruits & Pretty Things is Lansing, Michigan. Confirmed via member Dave Pasat.

No.
3.444 5-3 3-4 2-2
15+12+4 = 31 divided by 9 voting members = 3.444

ah, "-" = "x", thought there were 6 voters and you listed individual ratings.

Is it confirmed that the Thunderbirds that do "Crater Soda" on Back from the Grave 2 (one of their 6 sides on Ermine) are the same band as the ones on Delaware?

I think MTM mentioned that the song on Bftg 2 is by Monomen and Erik l friends.

on the thunderbirds, If i am not wrong they are the same band that recorded on both labels, and probably Ivanhoe label as well. but maybe i'm wrong i read this online some time ago and can't find the source right now.

no it was the other bonus track, on vol.1, here's the Thunderbirds'

I also noticed the Del-Rays who did Like I Do may be the same that did Dimples on R and H as both 45s have Fortune Teller on the flip: same act? same version?
