According to this page, Bearded Clam were from Springfield, IL and not Indiana as TBM lists as a confirmed hometown:

The second is listed in Teenbeat Mayehm, the punk label only applies on the base of one's vision of punk which varies from one person to another.

TBM has a policy of including every flip side of every 45 side it lists, regardless of the genre of that flip side; therefore, a track's inclusion in TBM is not necessarily relevant to its genre. Apart from that, if your personal definition of garage includes "R 'n' B instrumentals which didn't chart", then I'll accept that, as there is no hard and fast definition of 'garage'; but no one with even a rudimentary grasp of English and appreciation of music would call it 'garage punk'.

It's not a single, just one unisued track.

It was suggested for inclusion, and the source is from the cicadelic Texas Punk series, Vol. 9 (I think...dealt away nearly all of my old LP compilations long ago). It is different from the 45rpm version credited to the same group moniker.
Thanks for all the corrections, everyone. As noted it is FAR better you contact me directly via [email protected] instead of posting here, I am not active much here anymore. An updated pdf may be ready as early as February 2025, thanks to the input from forum and non forum members.

I far and away prefer the unreleased version. But it would sit much better in something like Frolic Diner or Las Vegas Grind than a garage punk compilation

Glory Rhodes' White Cliffs 45 is unrated in TBM. It can now be rated. IMO, side 1 = 4.4 side 2 = 4.75.

Always thought it was not their best...rather low-energy cover versions (and inferior to their cool U-Doe 45s IMO).
On the other hand...it sure is rare AF.

Yes, knowing what they were capable of with their originals, these covers are a little disappointing, but I still quite like their take on 'Run for your life'.

Yeah, not bad...just a little disappointing (having heard their other stuff first). I think I've seen more copies of Beaver and The Trappers than this record, though. It's pretty much the hardest-to-find garage/teen beat disc on White Cliffs as far as I know.

Both songs are in Mike's latest PDF (page 137) with a bullet, which I thinks means: not rated because of not available
I found a sealed box of 10 copies in 89. Took alot of effort to sell them at 5 bucks apiece...

Does anyone know the real story about the song Black Jacket Woman. It's released by The Tropics, Zone V and Torkshire Puddin'. All three take the writing credits, although it's the same song. Maybe it's a traditional.
Thanks in advance,

The Tropics is the original.
One member of Yorkshire Puddin came from the same area as the Tropics.
When I asked Bob from Zone V about their version he had no idea it was stolen by their guitar player as his own song.
