What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Compilation of the bands first two albums. That's all they had in their first life. Those two came out in 73-74.
David Johanson and Sylvain Sylvain reformed the group in 2006, and three albums have been released since then.
Haven't heard any of those and I'm thinking I wouldn't enjoy them. No way they could re-create that garage punk feel
30 years later. Crazy Horse and I saw these guys when we visited the R&R Hall Of Fame last year. They were touring
it also. When I saw these old men dressed like punks going in a seperate door, I knew they had to be somebody.
Didn't know who but CH went up and asked them. They must have been on tour, playing Cleveland. I would have never
guessed who they were. We wanted to get a pic, but they declined. This compilation gives you 9 tracks from those
first two albums plus a remake of the Shangri-La's classic Give Him A Great Big Kiss. That one actualy works for me,
even the talking parts. Probably wouldn't have if they hadn't changed the Him to Her. Love two tracks here and don't
like two. I call these guys hair punk.
