I was at a "Comics Nostalgia" convention a few years ago, and I got
a chance to talk to Nancy, during a break she took from signing
autographs. Someone mentioned "Archie" and she said it wasn't well
known, but Sluggo had done that drumming during Jughead's absence -
it had to be kept hush-hush then, because Sluggo was supposed to be
at a clinic, "drying out" at the time.

Gem, Thanks for the remembrances about your '75 gig alongside Paul
Revere and his band. Just don't confuse that bunch of "Raiders"
with the musicians who played with Revere in the '60s -- a totally
different set of musos. The guys who played on the '60s stuff were
long gone by that time.

Subject: Re: more on Peel & Shaw
A few words for those wishing further information on John Peel and Greg Shaw:
* Peel features prominently in Mike Stax's biography of The
Misunderstood, spanning issues 20, 21 and the forthcoming 22 of Ugly
Things magazine. Peel was a DJ in San Bernadino during the group's
formative years in the "Inland Empire" area of Southern California.
Still using his (almost) original name of Ravencroft, Peel and the band
met, and hit it off both musically and personally. According to the
article, much of the group's repertoire was formed from their regular
perusals through his extensive record collection, and he, in turn, was
instrumental in their getting themselves to England, where they would
finally make their mark. Their move overseas, in fact, leads to a whole
sequence of stories of (now) comical mishaps, some of them involving
members of Peel's family ... such was the level of his devotion to their career.
Beyond the Peel references, Stax's series on The Misunderstood is a
triumph of pop music journalism, and I fully expect some enterprising
publisher to compile its segments into a full-length book one day.
* The other night I attended a new documentary film titled "Dig!," about
the current pop groups The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown
Massacre and their strangely intertwined histories. As the latter group
released a number of records on one of Shaw's labels or another, he
makes several appearances in the movie, in which he vainly attempts to
help guide the career of a musician -- BJM leader Anton Newcombe -- who
seems incapable of guiding himself. I enjoyed the movie a lot, and found
myself liking The Dandy Warhols both personally and musically, but never
could see what all the fuss was over the Brian Jonestown group.
Yeah,
--Phil M.

Subject: Claire Francis back @ musica
Now @ musica, the fourth in a series of four vocal tracks
recorded back in the day by Claire Francis for UK Polydor:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/spectropop/files/musica/
Details are: Claire Francis "If You Don't Know" (UK Polydor
BM 56412, 1967) Writers: Claire Francis and Richard Hill.
Music Director: Alan Caddy. Producer: Claire Francis.
Is this another of your autobiographical songs, Claire?
About you-know-who, I guess? As yet, I've still had no luck
in turning up a copy of his album. Gimme time.
How well do you remember Richard Hill and Alan Caddy?
Hey la,
Mick Patrick

Eydie did Goffin/King's "Goin' Back"?

I thought I transferred the song already to CD but I was wrong. So
it'll take some days until I find the time to do this. I'll let you
know when I'm done.
