Surprise, surprise - idle chatter about TBM

[captainsalty]

A couple just in
Decompressed Impossibility came from Reno-Sparks, Nevada
The Ones (Contrapoint) came from Unionville, Connecticut

thanks for the info.

can you elaborate on The Ones? Were the whole band from CT?

TBM lists Boston, Aram H. lists just MA. The bass player was a MA resident, so I wondered. Thanks!

They moved to MA later on, if I recall correctly.

I have some updates

Wild Ones (Tiger prod) - Indianapolis
Children (New York) - Redlands, CA, Latino teens
Royal Bloos (Rafta) - Bealsville, Ohio
Kathy Royal (Hilton) - Huntington, WV
Eleventh Tomorrow (Accident) - IN college students relocated to Cincinnati
Group (Adco) - Cincinnati
Mysteries (Brad) - Buford/Lynchburg, Ohio
Counts (Teen, Pixie) - Hamilton, Ohio
Operations (Chance) - Hamilton/Oxford, Ohio. Correct name was Operation (no plural). Later re-recorded the songs as Jabberwocky
Caesar and the Romans (Hi-Note) - Monroe, Michigan, there is another 45 by them not listed in (B)TBM
Spring Rain (ARC) - Pendleton, OR (I think that' s the city, somewhere around there)
Marquis (Earl 1004) - Love re: Country Joe and the Fish / The Drifter re: Bud and Travis, using the HP Lovecraft (1st LP) arrangement. I'd rate both sides 6 to 7

Tempters (Link) - Oxford, Ohio
Genesis (no label, Ohio University) had two later 45s on Mushroom label, not TBM material

a few more
Shooting Stars - Lynn, IN
What Four (Box) Williamsburg, OH (just east of Cincinnati)
Sprites (no label) - Little latin... - Cincinnati - school project thing, they were a group of 11 girls, backed by a band! One of my toughest Ohio 45s to get, only added a few months ago
Shoguns - had another 45 on Lemco, under a different name
Spoon (Airtown) Muncie, IN, record released Jan 1970
Scepters (Ironbeat) - Barnesville, OH
Decades (Great Scott) - Miamisburg, OH, they were the same band as the Rock-Its who recorded for Spangle and backed Dale Wright in the 1950s! Were there any other intact bands that recorded a rocker in the 1950s and a garage 45 in the 1960s?

not sure I've seen it here and just read about it in the new Ugly Things, pre Gordian Knot and though still on the pop side I believe it's pretty cool and belongs in the book

Just the usual routine, play a 45, see what the esteemed g-45 board thought of said 45. One of tonight's was "Spencer / Voyles w/ the herd on PIC. Daddy's Little Angel it says on the 45, but in both Teenbeats it's "Daddy's Little Girl". Typo or just another 45 I have to find?

No that's been corrected, shown accordingly in the upcoming on-line update.

With TBM turning 10 one of these days I re-read some of the initial feedback // criticism from 2012, including my own. It made me blush. In the past decade TBM has been the book I never let wander far from the desk. Maybe Panciera's „45 Revolutions“ was used as intensively, but no other book comes even close to these two. More than the ratings I came to value the descriptions in TBM: Just a few words but they usually hit the spot and give an accurate idea of what a certain song sounds like. Doing that for several thousand songs w/o slipping is quite a feat and it makes TBM sit undisputed on a pedestal of its own and an immeasurable help for anybody with even a remote interest in collecting garage 45s. Any critique can only be utterly minor compared to the merrits of TBM. How I wish there'd be a barebone A-Z with all corrections and worthy additions...

Johnny and the Hurricanes!

I meant to say the same members. Johnny was the only constant person in the band. The guys who played on the mis 60s records all joined in 1963 or later. Ditto for the Wailers (Kent Morrill and Buck Ormsby were the only two carryovers). The Rock-Its/Decades had the same members through their 1973 cover/lounge LP!

I should say that with a scope this large, done mostly before the ease of internet searches, that it is as accurate it is is truly remarkable.

Flat River Missionarie's came from Cocoa Florida. (cracked this morning)
Their record, Easy Come, Easy Go / Time Will Tell, on K-Ark was out in 68.

New listing on Discogs. Never heard of this. Label has the same layout as Five Bucs/Gnomes on Afton curiously enough.

Are you sure it's garage? Looks like the label skews in the gospel direction

The guy who put it up also owns it. But I was looking for confirmation.
He listed it as
Genre:Rock Style:Garage Rock

Whoa, I just heard a clip. This is a weirdo. It has an accordion and no guitar, but still pretty good - and garage. But perhaps 4 max.
