James Porter replied to Mitchhz's discussion Cramps archaeology"If Titus Turner recorded "Fever," I never heard it, but he didn't write it. That was penned by Eddie Cooley and "John Davenport" (actually Otis Blackwell under an assumed name)."
James Porter replied to dave's discussion How Did You Get Into Punk?"...as far as the Sex Pistols, I had heard bits and pieces here and there, but hadn't bought the album itself until the spring of '87. Compared to the hardcore I was hearing on one of the local college stations, Never Mind The Bollocks…"
James Porter replied to dave's discussion How Did You Get Into Punk?"John - the second issue of Kicks (from 1979) included an article on 60s Chicago bands by my friend Cary Baker. Before he launched into the past, he included a quick sum-up of the present, talking about how The Loop had started beefing up their…"
James Porter replied to dave's discussion ugliest album covers"A friend of mine who does liner notes for reissues (John, you know him too) once told me that major labels HATE to run black and white photos on covers. It subconsciously keeps younger buyers away. Okay, I admit that a few embellishments here…"
James Porter replied to dave's discussion ugliest album covers"And to bring this back to the original topic: most Treniers reissues I've seen have better covers than the one I reprinted eight posts and three days ago! Pee-yew!!!"
James Porter replied to dave's discussion ugliest album covers"I think Collectables has a Treniers compilation in their catalog as well.
Neither Collectables nor Eva are the ultimate reissue labels, although I have heard isolated releases from either that had quality sound, if you can believe that."
James Porter replied to dave's discussion ugliest album covers"The comp that John refers to below is called They Rock! They Roll! They Swing!, which had a better track selection and a WAAAAY better cover than the one I supplied the link to. Which was on Sony's budget label.
"
James Porter replied to dave's discussion ugliest album covers"Dave: ALL the Treniers' stuff rocked. "Poontang" was no fluke. Just ask John Battles. However, the album I just printed the link to isn't one of their best. There are other compilations of their essential OKeh/Epic sides,…"
James Porter replied to dave's discussion How Did You Get Into Punk?"First time I heard the Flying Lizards'"Money," it was on WLUP (The Loop), Chicago's "death-to-disco" rock station. And even then, I think Steve Dahl and Garry Meier may have been making fun of it. As the song faded out,…"

James Porter replied to johnny goodbye's discussion Surf Comp recommendations"That's not so hard to believe. Rhino was a top-notch reissuer at one point, and the CD mentioned below would have been a good surf intro, as was the vinyl-only History of Surf Music, Vol. 1. (Volume 2 was all vocals, and #3 was all…"
James Porter replied to Andy Climax's discussion Shock Confessions"I was at the Shadows of Knight show that John mentions. It was at the tail end of the summer, IIRC, at an outdoor festival. Jim Sohns was the only original left. The only actual Shadows songs performed were "Gloria," "Oh Yeah"…"

John, I am so tempted to go back to that rekkid store and ask if that M&R Rush poster is for sale. Probably not!

John Battles said… No , forgetting to include M&R Rush. That was the big oversight.
