Buckinghams in MONO, anyone?
Yes, I know it's a bit tame for my usual fuzz tastes, but I am on the hunt for Buckinghams mixes in the original 45 mono mixes. Does anyone here have any of the original 45s? The mixes I've heard so far are really superior to the album mixes.Anyone know if the recent 31-song "Singles Collection" CD for the band is in MONO? I can't find info about it anywhere...The cheap and available "Mercy Mercy Mercy" best-of CD has some '60s stereo and some recent re-mixed stereo mixes -- the opposite of…See More

Profile Information
- Location:
- Tucson, Arizona
- Bio:
- I'm Timothy Gassen, a filmmaker, music producer, publisher, journalist and longtime screamer with the band THE MARSHMALLOW OVERCOAT, celebrating our 25th year in 2011. I am also frontman for THE PURPLE MERKINS, with lots of 45s and an album (available now as a CD). I produce other garage-psych groups, and have been an A&R guy for record labels.
I'm also the author of both the print version and DVD version of THE KNIGHTS OF FUZZ, documenting the neo-garage explosion since 1980. I've also written hundreds of features and reviews for newspapers and magazines worldwide. The late Greg Shaw dubbed me "The Guru of Garage," and for that I am grateful. :)

Tropic of Cancer/Delta of Venus
I believe I am posting way too much but without all the fistfights and kids jumping out of (1st floor) windows because of summer break I am a bit bored. Anyway, there was a Henry Miller discussion in this group recently and while watching After Hours for research purposes last night Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller came up. I took that to be a bit of a sign. The most impressive thing about Henry Miller was his ability to riff on any given subject for five minutes or five hours at a time.…See More
