Re: What this group listens to.

Hi all,

I just got around to picking up the EMI HoL reissue from my personal CD buyer.

At the same time, I got:

Glen Matlock - "Who's he think he is when he's at home?"
-- Awesome popish punk by the Sex Pistols' founding bassist (he wrote
"Pretty Vacant") and the bassist in the wonderful Rich Kids (former Rich
Kid Steve New plays guitar on the record, as does Derwood Andrews of
Generation X) and Specters.

John's Children - "Smashed! Blocked!"
-- Mind-blowing psycho/psychedelic mod/pop '60s group with T. Rex's Marc Bolan.

The Creation - "How Does It Feel to Feel"
-- Singles collection of '60s psychedelic/mod maximum r&b (with the
Faces/Stones Ronnie Wood on guitar on "The Girls Are Naked") band. "Our
music is red - with purple flashes," explained guitaris Eddie Phillips (who
was asked to join The Who during the Creation's rise). You think Jimmy Page
invented playing a guitar with a violin bow? Nope. He started doing it
after hearing Phillips do it on the "Making Time" single.

The Professionals - "The Professionals"
-- Post-Sex Pistols work from Steve Jones (guitar) and Paul Cook (drums).
Fun, goofy, loud, loutish, punk/pop.

The Yardbirds - "...where the Action is!"
-- Two-CD set with 27 songs from BBC sessions, plus 8 from a live show in
Stockholm in '67. Any Yardbirds record with "Goodnight Sweet Josephine" I
gotta have! Plus two blistering covers of "Most Likely You'll Go Your Way",
plus all the usual hits.

David Bowie -- "The Dearm Anthology 1966-1968"
-- Runs the gamut from swinging London pop like "Love You Till Tuesday" to
hippy weirdness like "Rubber Band" and the original version of "Space
Oddity."

The Jam - "Direction Reaction Creation"
-- 5 CDs. 117 songs. All you need is this and the "Extras" CDs and you're set.

Next trip to the record store will be for more NEW stuff (only the Glen
Matlock CD is of new stuff).
