It must have been the year before last when I was enjoying a madcap musical romp through Thailand and its wildly imaginative bootleg EP scene — 7-inch picture sleeves using filched images, with four songs often (but not always) by four different artists, produced in renegade fashion without regard for legal or copyright considerations [see "Oddball Beatles EPs Worldwide"]. It was early 2018, most likely, when I made that fateful decision to print out a decent quality scan of a bootleg EP that had made the curious call to bring together the bubblegum sounds of The Archies and 1910 Fruitgum Co. (plus early Dave Clark Five) with "agit-pop" from The Rolling Stones, "Street Fighting Man" — a song that was banned from radio (and whose provocative sleeve was immediately withdrawn) in 1968, a year in which assassination and rioting dominated headlines.
378×400 pixel version of image below
Coliseum = cheeky send-up of almighty Columbia Records (i.e., "Big Red")
A1 "Street Fighting Man" The Rolling Stones
A2 "Because" The Dave Clark Five
B1 "Bang Shang-a-Lang" The Archies
B2 "Goody Gum Drops" 1910 Fruitgum Co.
Don't recall why I printed out this image in the first place, but here's the weird thing — Located this printout in my "scratch paper" pile and began to use it for correspondence, when the librarian in me prompted me to search the 45Cat database to affirm its existence but could no longer find it there … or anywhere else on the Internet! This scanned image, therefore, is the world's only proof of a bootleg EP from Thailand that was almost certainly released in 1968, possibly 1969.
Did I somehow dream up this EP release – Coliseum CLS 1080 – or was it, in fact, actually birthed? 45Cat allows users to easily browse a list of cataloged Coliseum releases, which has entries for two somewhat nearby catalog numbers, CLS 1087 (from 1969, we think) and CLS 1099 (released 1968, confusingly).
CLS 1087 = previously featured here CLS 1099 = "Sugar Sugar" & friends
Evidence of Coliseum CLS 1080 EP's existence: If you Google the terms Coliseum + Archies + "CLS 1080" (as of October 10, 2019), Bill Rousell's music sales website will turn up in the search results, with a sales listing for this EP that names the four tracks in identical order.
Zero to 180, you might recall, had previously saluted The Archies five years ago in a piece that acknowledged 1968 to be a remarkably fertile time for truck driving country music. The Rolling Stones (not to mention Stones sound-alike bands) have also been the focus of Zero to 180's roving eye more than once over the years.
Rare UK picture sleeve, quickly withdrawn = sold for $17,100 in 2015!
Illicit Vinyl — No Laughing Matter
If the example of Thailand suits your warped sensibilities, you will also likely enjoy browsing the unauthorized vinyl output from the countries of Malaysia, Iran & USSR.
Decca US 45 = 1966 Decca Lookalike 45 = Malaysia
Furthermore, if you poke around 45Cat's database in the section tagged as "Poland," you will quickly discover a vast underworld of "postcard discs" — sometimes plain, but often as not, "old-timey" renderings and travel scenes, as well as modernist art images, with one and sometimes two songs on a single-sided "sound postcard"!
"All You Need Is Love" – The Beatles – Poland, 1967 = who knew?
Can you guess which early 60s instrumental hit (later covered by Sugar Hill Gang)?
Isn't it obvious? "Apache" by The Shadows = Polish postcard disc

Bright Morning Star: Talkin' Topical Wit & Artist Activism
Posted on January 25, 2019 by Zeroto180
My children's violin instructor, Ken Giles, I was delighted to discover, had once been part of a contemporary folk ensemble that, as Stephen Holden of the New York Times noted, embraced "the left-wing populism of Pete Seeger," as it also incorporated "comedy and theatrical horseplay" into its performances. Formed in 1978 and named for an old Appalachian hymn, Bright Morning Star ("a lively and engaging fixture in the peace and antinuclear movement," according to The Washington Post's Richard Harrington) once toured with Odetta and Pete Seeger, having also previously shared the stage with Holly Near, Ronnie Gilbert, John Hall, and Gil Scott-Heron.

Often appearing at rallies and public events that promoted peace and safe energy, Bright Morning Star — Charlie King, Court Dorsey, Cheryl Fox, George Fulginiti–Shakar, Marcia Taylor, Laura Kolb, and Giles — would travel with over two dozen instruments, including harmonica, guitar, autoharp, stand-up bass, electric bass, piano, drums, 5-string viola/violin, banjo, recorder, and various percussion. Kolb served a special role within the group as artistic interpreter for the deaf and hearing-impaired during live performance.
[Back Row: Taylor; Giles; Kolb — Front row: Dorsey; Fox; King; Fulginiti-Shakar]
In the musical tradition of The Weavers and The Freedom Singers, the ensemble's satirical sensibilities and "cabaret folk" approach hewed closer to Tom Lehrer, perhaps (Washington Post's Geoffrey Himes) or the San Franciso Mime Troupe (Boston Globe's Jeff McLaughlin). Nevertheless, Pete Seeger himself gave the group his seal of approval, having once asserted, "I'm so proud — this whole wonderful group Bright Morning Star – they're doing just exactly what Woody Guthrie and I tried to do 40 years ago."
Founding member Charlie King would tell The Boston Globe in 1988:
"What I think Pete meant is Woody and I got on the union bandwagon and the Henry Wallace bandwagon; we went out into the communities and brought people together; we gave energizing concerts and we sang about the issues. And we presented good music. Bright Morning Star is doing that 40 years later with different issues, certainly a different crowd, different generation, different songs. But there's that continuity."
Noting how the group leans toward celebration and humor rather than dark political commentary, King also shares this bit of wisdom gleaned from front-line experience:
"I think the political song at its worst says that things are really bad, probably hopeless, but at least you can feel self-righteous and get a cynical laugh during the last days of the empire. There are a lot of songs written in that vein, I'm sure I've written a few. But at its best, the political song builds a sense of possibility and humor.
I think political music records our history from the bottom up, from the grass roots, the stories of every day people; not just individuals, but also of popular struggles. Within that historical context, it seems to energize and reinforce people and movements. It pokes fun at the powerful, reminds us that the emperor is naked. I've always liked the quote – I'm not sure of the source, but I got it from Dorothy Day – that it comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable."
Bright Morning Star would sit still for a 40-minute interview with Studs Terkel that was broadcast on July 11, 1986.

The group's three long-playing releases include two for Rainbow Snake Records — Arisin' in 1981 (which includes women trucker anthem "Truck Drivin' Woman") and Live in the US in 1984 — plus one for noted Chicago blues & country indie label, Flying Fish, 1988's Sweet and Sour. Rob Okun would pen a mission statement for the group's debut album:
"They pollinate the grass roots. They bang away at the walls of indifference. They celebrate humanity.
The six members of Bright Morning Star do a better job educating people to what's right and what's wrong on this crazy planet than a half dozen politicians, teachers, or preachers.
They take their music to big city auditoriums and down-home coffee houses, to college towns and union halls, to demonstrations and celebrations. They put melodies to our brightest visions and lyrics to our darkest mornings. On stage, and on this record, they lead odysseys into the worlds of personal and social change. And they do it all with lightness, laughter, and love."

Steve Snyder's "They Ought to Put It On the Radio" from Sweet and Sour prods the nation's news media to rely less on sensationalism and, instead, report on a broader (and healthier) array of human activity, so as to foster a more compassionate world in which all human life is valued:
[Psst: Click on triangle for "They Ought To Put It On the Radio" by Bright Morning Star]
'Sweet and Sour' earned a four-star review in The Valley Advocate
A retired music teacher with DC Public Schools and a violin teacher with the DC Youth Orchestra Program, whose 35 years of working for health and safety programs was inspired by the social activism spirit of the 1960s, Ken Giles also enjoys singing with the DC Labor Chorus.
From Pete Seeger to Ken Giles
Postscript: Bright Morning Star would band together once more in 2008 for a 20th Reunion Tour, with a show at Rockville, Maryland's Saint Mark Presbyterian Church hosted by David Eisner's Institute of Musical Traditions in nearby Takoma Park.
Encore! Performance footage of Pete Seeger along with Bright Morning Star singing "Well May the World Go."

Lord Thunder: Final Deluxe 45?
Posted on November 1, 2018 by Zeroto180
Browsing DeLuxe releases in chronological order in Discog's database, Lord Thunder's "Thunder" from 1975 appears to be the last gasp of Starday-King:
"Thunder" Lord Thunder 1975
But wait: 1975 sounds much too late in the post-Syd Nathan saga for a new production to come out of the Starday-King studios, especially with IMG/Gusto now running the show. I'm suspicious.
For one thing, the catalog number 106 would indicate the recording to be closer to 1969, tied to the first string of releases from the resuscitated DeLuxe imprint — at that point owned by Lin Broadcasting. An examination of the catalog record for this 1975 Gusto 45 release on Discogs finds this revealing note:
"This is the legal second issue from 1975 – reissued for the UK Northern Soul market. The original does not have the '1975 etc' text around the outside and the release is originally from the late 60's/early 70's.
This late 60s "northern soul" instrumental was written by Leroy Tukes and Grady Spires, who would also put together "I Got It Made (In the Shade)" for James Duncan, released March, 1970 on Federal (and featuring Eddie Hinton on swamp guitar)..
Both songs were included on 2007 CD compilation Crash of Thunder: Boss Soul, Funk and R&B Sides From the Vaults of the King, Federal and DeLuxe Labels — a special collection of rare tracks curated by Matt "Mr. Fine Wine" Weingarden and released on Spanish label, Vampi Soul.
So uh, no, this was not the "final" DeLuxe 45, in terms of latest original recording intended for release.
From browsing Discogs' listing of DeLuxe releases in chronological order and then examing the catalog numbers in (relative) sequential order, I see that the highest number "152" coincides with 1973 single release from The Manhattans – "Do You Ever" b/w "If My Heart Could Speak" (with the A-side written by Agape recording artist, Myrna March, who also co-produced). Could this possibly be one of the final recordings to come out under the DeLuxe label? To answer this question, it sure would help to know the recording dates of the other DeLuxe 45 releases from 1973:
= "Mama's Baby" b/w "You Are Gone" by Royal Flush
= "Camelot Time" b/w "Victory Strut" by J. Hines & the Fellows*
= "Leave My Kitten Alone" b/w "All the Time" by Reuben Bell
= "Rainbow Week" b/w "Loneliness" by The Manhattans
Ruppli provides no information whatsoever about these recordings and, in fact, does not even list Royal Flush, Reuben Bell, or J. Hines & the Fellows in the index. Not even known whether any of these 45 releases had been recorded in the year 1973. More research is needed to determine the final recording to come out on DeLuxe.

With regard to Zero to 180's recent musings about which Bethlehem release was the last original recording intended for that King subsidiary label, this online discography has considerably more detailed information than Ruppli's sessionography with regard to Bethlehem's last few years of existence, thus forcing me to recalculate the situation …
New Observations about Bethlehem's Final Releases!
Tip of the hat to the Bethlehem Records Discography Project
The James Brown recording session from May 20, 1970 (David Matthews' "The Drunk" recorded in two parts, with only Part Two issued) that ended up as the B-side of a Bethlehem (not King) 45 "A Man Has to Go Back to the Crossroads" b/w "The Drunk" appears to be the last original recording released on Bethlehem — a session that took place at King Studios in Cincinnati (as did the session for the single's A-side on March 2, 1970, on which David Matthews served as Director). Interesting to note that A-side "charted on 18 July, 1970 on Record World's "Singles Coming Up" chart peaking at #110″ (Discogs).
The next-to-last entry for 1970 says that Arthur Prysock laid down 12 tracks with "unidentified orchestra" and Bill McElhiney serving as arranger/director at Nashville's Starday-King recording facility on April 8, 1970 for Prysock's Unforgettable album (released on King). The two singles from this LP, curiously, would be issued on separate labels — "Cry" b/w "Unforgettable" on King, while "Funny World" b/w "The Girl I Never Kissed" ended up on Bethlehem.
This discography of Bethlehem recordings/releases from 1958 to the present ends in the year 1970 — and yet omits any references to The Saloonatics from 1969. What up? 1969 would also see recording sessions in Cincinnati for Wayne Cochran and His C.C. Riders (previously paid tribute here), as well as The Dee Felice Trio (with Frank Vincent) for LP and 45 releases on Bethlehem.
As it bids adieu to the King Records' 75th Anniversary Celebration, Zero to 180 would like to pose these four questions:
What is the last original recording for Starday-King that took place at Cincinnati's King Studios?
What is the final recording — regardless of whether the artist was under contract to Starday-King — that took place at the (former) King Studios in Cincinnati?
What is the last original recording at the Nashville Starday Studios intended for release on Starday-King or one of its subsidiaries?
What is the last original release from Starday-King before the label's sale to IMG/Gusto?
A Starday/King/DeLuxe Musical Prank*
Whoa! Is it possible that 1973 instrumental "Victory Strut" by J. Hines & the Fellows (on Starday-King subsidiary, DeLuxe) features what must be some of the earliest turntable scratching on record?! But alas, the comment below – in reply to the person who posted this audio clip – reveals musical tomfoolery perpetrated at the hands of DJ Ol'SkOul!
"So as much as I love the record scratches on this, I actually bought this 45 thinking they were a part of the song. Sooo yeah, you might want to tell people this is your remix of it. Either way thanks for posting. Great tune."
Hear for yourself = special 'REMIX' of "Victory Strut"
DJ Ol'SkOul likewise provides turntable embellishments for A-side "Camelot Time"
History Messing with My Mind Dept.
Recently, in the course of scanning the index in Ruppli's King Labels sessionography, I was struck by a fairly unusual name: "SACASAS". Anselmo Sacasas, it turns out, was a Cuban bandleader who recorded exactly one session for King Records in Miami on April 8, 1955 – four songs recorded, including one tune entitled (hold onto your hats) "Trumpcrazy"!
Billboard's reviewer would score this trumpet-heavy "Latino instrumental" a 72 (in the "good" range) in its July 23, 1955 edition. This extremely obscure 45 was nearly lost to history until an audio clip was posted on YouTube in July of 2016.

Ruth Wallis: King/DeLuxe Artist
Posted on October 6, 2018 by Zeroto180
On February 28, 1966, blue humorist extraordinaire, Ruth Wallis, recorded four songs at Cincinnati's King Studios, two of which — "I'm the Sexiest Gal in Town" b/w "I'd Rather Be Abroad" — would get released as King 6024, while the other two tracks ("C'est La Vie" and "Thru With Marriage") remain locked away in the King vaults:
"I'm The Sexiest Gal in Town" Ruth Wallis 1966
This single, however, would not be the comedian's first brush with Syd Nathan — Wallis, in fact, had enjoyed at least six 78 releases that go back to the late 1940s:
1947 = "Johnny Had a Yo-Yo" b/w "Your Daddy Was a Soldier"
1947 = "An Oil Man From Texas" b/w "Too Many Men In My Life"
1947 = "Senorita What's Her Name" b/w "Jose Is Living the Life of Reilly"
1947 = "Down in the Indies" b/w "Pull Down the Shade, Marie"
1947 = "Have a Baby" b/w "What's a Shmoe"
1948 = "The Dinghy Song" b/w "Tonight You Sleep in the Bathtub"
These songs would be reissued in the early-to-mid 1950s in the form of one EP (1953's Rhumba Party), one LP (1956's House Party), and three 4-song 45s (House Party volumes 1-3).
House Party LP – Canadian cover
Ruppli's 2-volume King Labels recording session discography – unusually – devotes two entire pages to nothing but Ruth Wallis recordings. The first page lists the entire song titles for four Ruth Wallis King LPs numbered in sequential order:
(King 986) The Admiral's Daughter — includes "Hawaiian Lei Song"
(King 987) Davy's Little Dinghy — includes "Stay Out of My Pantry"
(King 988) Marry Go Round — includes "Johnny's Little Yo Yo"
(King 989) Red Lights — includes "Hopalong Chastity"
The next page lists four more LPs that continue this number sequence:
(King 990) Ubangi Me — includes "Play the Field" and "Queer Things"
(King 991) Oil Man From Texas — includes "The Pistol Song"
(King 992) He Wants a Little Pizza — includes "Swingin' Derriers"
(King 993) Bahama Mama — includes "Fishing Pole Song"
Also worth noting King LP 904 — Saucy Hit Parade — produced and edited by Kermit "King of the Bloopers" Schaffer (year of release unknown).
King History Primer: De Luxe Records
As Ruppli explains in the introduction to Volume 1 of The King Labels:
Just after the Queen era [c. August, 1947], Nathan purchased a large part of De Luxe label, which had been formed in 1944 by the Braun family. This label was operated in Linden, New Jersey and had also many sessions recorded in New Orleans. King had control over all De Luxe material and many De Luxe titles were reissued on King records and albums. From 1947 to 1949, the De Luxe label was operated by the Braun brothers under King control, up to the point when the Brauns formed another recording company called Regal. In the fifties, the De Luxe label was revived by King on new master and release series.
As we learned from the Albert Washington history piece, Lin Broadcasting – as new owners of the combined Starday-King catalog upon Syd Nathan's passing – would revive the De Luxe imprint yet again in the late 1960s.

King Cash-In Surf LP #2
Posted on September 7, 2018 by Zeroto180
Zero to 180's sprawling history trawl "Rare & Unreleased King" made passing reference to another surf-ploitation LP issued by King Records – 1963's Surfin' on Wave Nine – and even threatened to make that album the focus of a future history piece … whose time has come today.
Compared to Look Who's Surfin' Now (King LP previously celebrated here) Surfin' on Wave Nine is a bit more of an organic affair, with only a modest amount of jiggery pokery involved.
A1 The Vice-Roys – "Seagreen"
A2 The Nu-Trons – "Malibu Mal"
A3 The Tramps – "Maharadja"
A4 The Nu-Trons – "Tension"
A5 The Vice-Roys – "The Fox"
A6 Mickey Baker – "Gone"
B1 Mickey Baker – "Zanzie"
B2 The Vice-Roys – "Moasin'"
B3 The Nu-Trons – "Wild Side"
B4 The Wobblers – "The Wobble"
B5 The Nu-Trons – "Ninth Wave Out"
B6 The Vice-Roys – "Buzz Bomb"
According to Ruppli's 2-volume Kings recording sessionography, we can only be certain that two of these songs — "The Fox" and "Buzz Bomb" by The Vice-Roys — were recorded in Cincinnati.
The Vice-Roys would record their songs for King in three sessions: c. Nov/Dec 1961 ("Moasin'"); c. September, 1962 ("Seagreen"); and April, 1963 ("The Fox" & "Buzz Bomb"). Worth noting that King would issue a split single in 1963 with "Seagreen" by The Vice-Roys chosen as the flip side for "That Low Down Move" by Hank Ballard & the Midnighters. But, as Discogs notes, "Seagreen" actually began life as an A-side issued on Bethlehem with the title "Seagram's" – ostensibly a salute to the whiskey brand. Both Sides Now Publications recounts the controversy:
In 1960, an instrumental rock band called the Viceroys brought Bethlehem an instrumental master they called "Seagrams," apparently thinking the name of a hard liquor brand would be hip for teens. Bethlehem liked the tune and released it. Unfortunately, Seagrams Corporation didn't think it was funny and threatened to sue for trademark infringement, and some stations refused to play a song with the name of a commercial product without being paid for advertising time. A sheepish notice in Billboard on March 23, 1960, said, "We Goofed!" and explained that "Seagrams" was now changed to "Seagreen."
Worth noting that in that same March 23, 1960 edition of Billboard along with the official industry notice from King Records saying "We Goofed!" was this wink-wink news item:
Just Call This a Real Loaded Idea
SAN FRANCISCO— A novel record promotion originated by Bob Earl, San Francisco branch manager for King Records, has been picked up by the national record distributor and will be repeated in Cincinnati, Chicago and New York.
Bethlehem's new recording of "Seagram," sung by the Vice-roys, prompted Earl to include a half pint of Seagram's VO whiskey and a package of Vice-roy cigarettes when delivery the disk, all wrapped up in gay "Mardi Gras" gift paper. Uniformed messenger delivery personnel called upon local deejays in the four top r & b and rock and roll stations in San Francisco and Oakland — KSAN, KEWB, KDIA and KYA.
The Nu-Trons would record two sessions for King — the first ("Tension" and "Wild Side") in May, 1963 (possibly in Cincinnati — Ruppli is uncertain) and the second ("Malibu Mal" and "Ninth Wave Out" in June, 1963.
The Tramps's sole contribution "Maharadja" is the earliest contribution to this various artists compilation (August, 1961), but alas — the recording is leased from another label.
Mickey Baker's guitar instrumental classic "Zanzie" (previously celebrated here) was recorded – along with "Gone" – June, 1962 in Paris.
Without a doubt, the song most likely to grab your attention is "The Wobbler" which likely was recorded late (November?) in 1961 by The Wobblers:
"The Wobble" The Wobblers 1961

"Chew Tobacco Rag" Done R&B
Posted on August 21, 2018 by Zeroto180
Celebration of King Records Month 2018 Getting an Early Start in August!
Lucky Millinder's version of the classic country hit "Chew Tobacco Rag" could easily have been included on my Gusto cassette King compilation, Country Tunes Done R&B:
Billboard's review in the April 21, 1951 edition was very optimistic about the single's sales prospects:
The expectorating special from the country serves a worthy cause for Millinder as his crew sets up a big rocking beat for the fine John Carol and ensemble shouts. First big band item in some time that could bust out for big returns.
"Chew Tobacco Rag" Lucky Millinder 1951
That big rocking beat, by the way, courtesy of Ed Shaughnessy, future long-time drummer for Doc Severinson's 'Tonight Show' Orchestra who developed his jazz chops drumming for such artists as Billie Holiday, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Tommy Dorsey, Oliver Nelson, Gene Ammons, and Cal Tjader, among many others.
WFMU's Beware of the Blog points out that Zeb Turner's version of this popular tune released on King made it to the Top Ten:
What was 1951's loopiest and most contagious hillbilly novelty song? Judging by the number of cover versions it spawned, it had to be Chew Tobacco Rag, written and originally recorded by Texan Billy Briggs for the Imperial label. Briggs' version never managed to chart, but Zeb Turner's version, released on King, made it all the way to within spitting distance of topping the charts, finally losing momentum at #8.
Check out the 25 or so cover versions that you can preview here in one place.
Not uncommon for Columbia to acquire regional hits and then re-market them
One music enthusiast would cough up $119 in 2015 for this 1954 King EP.
Meanwhile, someone would throw down $200 in 2011 for an original King 45.

Oddball Beatles EPs Worldwide
Last month's surprising (and under-reported) research results pertaining to The Beatles' controversial association with K-Tel, I assumed, had tapped the well of Beatledom dry. So imagine my surprise when Zero to 180 researchers poked at 45Cat's database with a stick and stumbled upon a treasure trove of curious and, at times, downright baffling decisions regarding Beatles 45 and EP releases in "foreign" markets around the world.
Thailand takes the proverbial cake, in terms of audacity, style, and sense of the absurd, with not a single vinyl offering having enjoyed input from EMI or The Beatles whatsoever. My favorite find among these brazen bootleg releases on Thailand's Coliseum label is an EP that features four tracks from 1968's 'White Album' – all of them left-field song choices – but it's the picture sleeve that wins a prize for sheer daffiness:
Musical Misspellings! "The Beatle" (singular) + "warm gum"
As one of the 45Cat catalogers notes, this 1968 EP enjoys the distinction of being the only appearance of "Martha My Dear" on a non-LP Beatles release. Only Finland would see fit to include "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" on a (legitimate) 45, while "Glass Onion" would remain an album track solely (if you exclude this unauthorized EP from Iran). "Savoy Truffle" very nearly suffered the same fate — until Mexico's outsized fondness for George Harrison manifested itself in this impressive assemblage of four (count 'em) George tracks released in 1971, one year after the band had called it quits.
Guinness record for number of George songs on Beatles non-LP release
Actually, that same year Apple Mexico would issue four additional George-packed EPs, particularly notable for the Beatle whose first and only A-side — 1969's "Something" — had come near the end of the Beatles' recording career (where his output would be limited to one song per album side):
Needless to say, this is the sole non-LP appearance of "Piggies" (above, endearingly misspelled), while the picture sleeve below is a rare use of the Sgt. Pepper image on an EP that includes but one track from pop music's most revolutionary album.
Mexico Salutes George Harrison: fifth & final EP
George's "I Me Mine" would forever be confined to the Let It Be album, except in Mexico, where the song would be included on a 1972 EP, (also noteworthy for including album-only track "One After 909"), while Venezuela would go one step further by being the only country to issue this waltz on a 45. Also noteworthy is a planned-but-never-issued 5-song EP for the UK market of what would have been the only non-LP appearance of George track "It's All Too Much."
Nice to see that Mexico — who would take credit for the only authorized non-LP issue of "Yer Blues" — also has a soft spot for Ringo, as this hand-picked set of tracks from 1971 clearly indicates:
Speaking of Ringo, this has got to be a first and only one of its kind: A solitary Beatle (rendered as a cartoon, no less) as the cover image for a Beatles EP issued by Odeon Bolivia in 1965.
Apple Mexico's casual use of Sgt. Pepper tracks on other 1971 EPs ("Lucy in the Sky," as well as "Help From My Friends," and album showstopper, "A Day in the Life") would seem to be unparalled among EMI affiliates while, at the same time, oddly sacrilegeous. And for some quirky reason, it is Italy – not the UK – who enjoys the distinction of having issued the world's only Sgt. Pepper 45 the year of the album's release.
Odeon Spain's 4-track EP is remarkable for being, essentially, a Sgt. Pepper sampler from 1968 that includes "Lovely Rita" – the only authorized such use of that track, as well as the magical "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." Odeon Argentina would enjoy similar distinction for its own 1967 Sgt. Pepper EP, notable for including "Fixing a Hole" and "Good Morning Good Morning."
FLEXI-DISC! Says 45cat: "DESIGNED TO BE SOLD IN VENDING MACHINES"
Must point out that the Sgt. Pepper EP released on Thailand's TK label is almost certainly not the work of the band — the bizarro song selection ["All You Need Is Love"; "Lovely Rita"; "Baby You're a Rich Man"; "Things We Said Today"] being a major tip-off. As 45Cat contributor Tylerl notes with exasperation on the world's behalf:
"Why 'Things We Said Today'?? Weird. Needed 'For the Benefit of Mr Kite' instead. It's not on any 45 or EP worldwide. Sad."
(Bam-Caruso also hits it on the head with his observation "another strange Thailand EP with an inspired sleeve.")
Sgt. Pepper EP – but with only one track from the album!
"Strawberry Fields Forever" is one of those monumental A-sides from AM radio's golden age — and yet Odeon Japan would do the unthinkable, when the label made the tragic and misguided decision in 1967 to dilute the song's seismic impact by leading off instead with a throwaway track from the previous year ("Bad Boy") that sounds considerably out of its depth.
A recent documentary tribute to "Hey Bulldog," the group's last true collaborative effort, would note the song's exclusion from single release during the band's lifetime — a factual statement, if you ignore the track's inclusion on a 1969 EP issued by Thailand renegade label, Coliseum.
the famous Yellow Submarine cover, and yet only one track from the album!
Thailand's labels would, indeed, take liberties with not only song selection but cover design, as well. For instance, the band depicted on the 1968 EP below most definitely is not the same group that recorded "Sexy Sadie" (Lennon, by this point, wearing a beard and "granny" spectacles) and "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me and My Monkey."
"Rock" Raccoon
Note, too, this 1968 EP's use of a still image from the iconic "I Am the Walrus" sequence in 1967's Magical Mystery Tour film for a collection of 'White Album' tracks!
The only EMI-authorized issue of "I Dig a Pony" on a non-LP released during the band's lifetime, meanwhile, is what secures Bolivia's place in Beatles history (ditto for "Bungalow Bill," "Julia" & "Me and My Monkey"). But it's Brazil (and no one else) who issued "Dear Prudence" on a 7-inch, while only Nicaragua would dare to include "Why Don't We Do It in the Road" on a 45 (ditto "Cry Baby Cry").
sole authorized use of "Dig It" on non-LP release: 1972 MEXICAN EP
Fascinatingly, Jamaica alone would enjoy authorized use of "Sexy Sadie" on a non-LP issue, while Venezuela would have bragging rights over its singular selection of "Wild Honey Pie" for 45 release.
"I've Got a Falling": 1970 MALAYSIAN EP
However, no one can top Portugal as the only country authorized to include the ultimate Beatles psychedelic track – "Tomorrow Never Knows" – on a vinyl platter whose diameter measures less than one foot (sorry, Iran – I don't think you got permission).
Happy to see the distribution of Beatles recordings reach the African countries of Nigeria, Kenya, Congo (DRC), Mozambique, Angola, Rhodesia [Zimbabwe], and South Africa, as well as countries in the Middle East, including United Arab Republic, Turkey, Lebanon, and Israel, plus such Eastern Bloc nations as East Germany, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia.
Can't tell if EMI had a hand in this 1965 EAST GERMAN 45 release

Streisand's "Experimental" LP
Posted on December 31, 2017 by Zeroto180
Just for fun, find a casual fan of Barbra Streisand's music, and study her/his reaction closely when you play a fairly obscure track – "Come Back To Me" – for his/her virgin ears:
"Come Back to Me" Barbra Streisand 1973
Believe me, Zero to 180 is just as stunned as you are to find Streisand's name attached to a history piece on "experimental pop" — and yet here we are, thanks to 1973's Barbra Streisand … And Other Musical Instruments being included (#34) in Mojo's list of The 50 Most Out There Albums of All Time in their March 2005 issue, alongside such (truly) outre artists as Ennio Morricone, John Coltrane, Holy Modal Rounders, Hawkwind, Funkadelic, Captain Beefheart, and (of course) Sun Ra.
Mojo's Jonny Trunk explains the album's concept, as a whole —
"The soundtrack to Barbra's fifth TV special, the plan was to explore – literally (and laterally) – the world of sound and music, as opposed to the world of just Babs again. This Barbra is on a sonic world trip, and the luggage is piled very high, indeed — percussion from all global villages including darabukas, gagakus, o-daikos and baglamas, as well as Moogs, mellotrons, Studers, Arps, a Putney (!) and a Tempophon. And don't forget the bagpipes. They're from Ireland."
"Come Back to Me," one of the more experimental tracks on the album, finds Streisand, as Trunk playfully puts it, "talking to herself through delay pedals."
Avant-Streisand: Experimental Pop – emphasis on Pop
Would you be surprised to learn that Billboard would deem …And Other Musical Instruments to be one of their "Top Album Picks" for the week of November 10, 1973?
"Since this is the soundtrack from her TV special, there are plenty of effects one can only enjoy with all the senses. But since you can't see the things going on as Barbra walks through all the visual settings which are at the core of the program, your imagination has to take command. Nonetheless, her fine tones and majestic power are sheer entertainment. There are lots of off-beat ideas, like an Indian raga effect on 'I Got Rhythm' and sound effects on 'The World Is a Concerto.' 'Glad To Be Unhappy' is Barbra at her ballad best. Ken and Mitzi Welch's arrangements for TV provide an interesting experience on record."
The commercial response to Barbra Streisand's most daring work – before and forevermore – can be shown in the album's Billboard rankings:
entered the Pop chart at #146 for the week of November 24, 1973;
advanced to #115 the following week, December 1, 1973;
climbed to #75 the next week, December 8, 1973;
peaked at #64 the week of December 22, 1973;
before beginning a downward descent — #132 the week of February 9, 1974;
down to #149 the following week, February 16, 1974;
hanging on at #191 the week of March 9, 1974 before dropping from the charts.
Ten years later, Billboard's Paul Grein would report in his "Chart Beat" column that the TV special, unfortunately, had been "poorly received." 38 years later, a test pressing of Streisand's … And Other Musical Instruments LP would fetch $30 at auction in 2011.
Hendrix, Beatles, the Stones … and Streisand:
K-Tel Luminaries
Barbra Streisand – whose considerable commercial heft makes her, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, the world's best selling female recording artist – would famously relax her "No K-Tel" policy in order to allow "Evergreen" (Theme from A Star Is Born) to appear on 1981 K-Tel release The Elite (US, Canada, Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, and the Netherlands), as well as 1981's The Platinum Album (UK, Scandinavia, Spain, Italy, Greece, New Zealand & Australia).
Streisand would also give consent for the inclusion of chart-topping hit "People" (from Funny Girl) on K-Tel Brazil's Sucessos Nunca Esquecidos, as well as special 2-LP set, Stars for Jerusalem, in partnership with Columbia Special Products, under the auspices of The Jerusalem Foundation.

Smitten by the "Break-In" Record
I must have been about 9 or 10 when I first became aware of the "break-in" record, in which the man-on-the-street dishes up pop hit sound bites in response to each and every one of the news reporter's questions. I remember hearing "Watergrate" and "Mr. Jaws" on Cincinnati's pop juggernaut, WSAI 1360 AM, and then, not too long after, obtaining an LP compilation of the better Buchanan and/or Goodman break-in records, from the first flying saucer 45 in 1956, all the way up to "Superfly Meets Shaft" & "Convention '72."
Cover design by JIM O'CONNELL
[Pres. Nixon in the driver's seat, with Henry Kissinger riding shotgun & Spiro Agnew in the backseat, flanked by Superfly and Shaft]
I enjoyed the silliness of it all and was thrilled, as a fan of satire, by the send-up of pop culture, as well as straight society. My brother Dean's experiments stitching together break-in records at home inspired me to make my own, and I even roped in my friends to help me in my pointless series of "interviews" set at Fred's (fictitious) Delicatessen.
Images below: 1962 LP ++ 1974 US 45 ++ 1977 JAPAN 45
Zero to 180, thus, would like to celebrate a milestone — 5 years! over 700 posts! — by force-feeding you an amateur "break-in" home recording (c. 1976) that features extensive sampling from the family record collection, aided in no small part by the 4-LP box set, Superstars of the Seventies. Best to ignore the reporter's inane line of questioning:
"Fred's Delicatessen" Chris Richardson & Co. 1976
[Pssst: click triangle above to play "Fred's Delicatessan" by Chris Richardson & Co.]
Zero to 180 Milestones: The Preschool Years
Inaugural Zero to 180 post that established a bona fide cross-cultural link between Cincinnati (via James Brown's music recorded and distributed by King Records) and Kingston, Jamaica (i.e., Prince Buster's rocksteady salute to Soul Brother Number One).
1st anniversary piece that featured an exclusive "Howard Dean" remix of a delightful Sesame Street song about anger management (with a special rant about how WordPress's peculiarities made me homicidal the moment I launched this blog).
2nd anniversary piece that refused to acknowledge the milestone but instead celebrated the under-sung legacy of songwriter/session musician, Joe South – with a link to South's first 45, a novelty tune that playfully laments Texas's change in status as the nation's largest state upon Alaska's entry into the Union.
3rd anniversary piece that revealed the depths to which Zero to 180 will sink in order to foist his own amateur recordings onto an unsuspecting and trusting populace.
4th anniversary piece that formalized – as a public service – musical chord changes for an old (and tuneless) "hot potato" playground game called 'The Wonderball.'

Alex Harvey Loves Monsters, Too
Posted on December 8, 2017 by Zeroto180
Most music fans in the US (and even quite a few in the UK) are unaware that a major 1970s British rock star put out an album on K-Tel (!) during a period of peak popularity – one entitled Alex Harvey Presents the Loch Ness Monster, no less. There's a good reason for this record's obscurity, as these notes from Discogs make clear:
"Released in a limited edition of supposedly 300 copies. Comes in a beautiful gatefold-sleeve and a 12×8-inch 16-page booklet. This is mostly a spoken-word album containing interviews with people claiming to have seen the Loch Ness Monster. It features additional narrations by Richard O'Brien and Alex Harvey and one short musical track at the end."
This limited release means that some Alex Harvey fans are willing to shell out £200 (only a couple months ago) or even £300 (back in 2014) for this tribute album to Nessie. These prices are not an abberation, thus affirming the wisdom behind the decision made in 1977 by an elite group of Alex Harvey fans to purchase this long-deleted, vinyl-only release, which finally enjoyed reissue on compact disc in 2009 (John Clarkson's review also provides a bit of back story).
"I Love Monsters Too" — the album's final selection, as noted above, is the lone musical track, and a concise one at that: 37 seconds (thus, deserving of inclusion on Zero to 180's list of short songs in popular music):
"I Love Monsters Too" Alex Harvey 1977
As YouTube contributor Mags1464 drolly observes, the song is "from an album that Alex made while the rest of the [Sensational Alex Harvey Band] were recording Fourplay." Zero to 180 just figured out why the group is relatively unknown here in the States — according to Discogs, only four of SAHB's nine albums released in the 1970s were distributed in the US.
Elaborate packaging includes an annotated map of Loch Ness
16-page diary
Dear Diary: Saturday 17 July 1976
[Double-click image below to view in high-resolution]
Seven years prior to Alex Harvey's run-in with K-Tel, Trojan Records attempted to cash in on Britain's fascination with its most famous Scottish resident through the release of a horror-themed reggae compilation, Loch Ness Monster that contains, annoyingly, only one musical tribute to Nessie (and at least one dubious song selection — "Suffering Stink," really?).
1970, coincidentally, would also see the UK release of an album – That's How You Got Killed Before – by Jamaican ex-pat, Errol Dixon that features "Monster from Loch Ness" (not yet available for preview on YouTube).
One interesting "false hit" came up in my research is a spoken word collection that only enjoyed release in Canada (on Loch Ness Monster Records) by one-time Kiss manager, Bill Aucoin: 13 Classic Kiss Stories.
In recent years, John Carter Cash would travel to Scotland to perform his own Nessie tribute live in an attempt to "summon the beast" from the depths of Loch Ness — successfully? At least one person says yes:

The last time that happened on my end I traced it down to the TDSS Rootkit Some sites call it TDL - I'm pretty sure that's what Mbam found it as. Everytime it removed it, it didn't - it was back within hours or days. I finally found a free Tdss rootkit remover that Kaspersky had released. I can't say with any certainty this is also what you have, but I thought I'd offer the info - just in case.
I tried running SAS free when 7 first launched, then again when 7 RC ( Build 7100 ) released. I attempted on X86 - 32 bit. Both times I was met with BSOD - SASKUTIL.SYS Trying to uninstall in Safe Mode wasn't happening, installer service not running. Had to run Msconfig in Safe Mode, remove SAS from Startup - then uninstall at next bootup.
Is there a timeline for possible release for Windows 7 ? I have attempted to install 4.22. 1014, 4.23.1006 and 4.24.0.1044 BSOD follows every install, SASKutil.sys Compatibility to Xp and Vista do not help.

Dark Knight, The (2008)
Just when Gotham City seemed able to completely delouse itself of its gangster and crooks, a makeup-wearing man with green hair and scars around his lips, known as The Joker (Heath Ledger), emerged and threatened to send the city back into its original state: crime-ridden, a general lack of hope for the future, and citizens living in fear. "The Dark Knight," based on the screenplay by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan, was a menudo of complex ideas, from what it meant to be a symbol of justice to what could happen if that symbol was driven to an extreme and then derailed, coupled with thrilling action sequences with enough tricks up its sleeve, to describe the experience of watching it in one word would be "transportive." What I loved about the screenplay was its treatment of Batman (Christian Bale) in terms of his relationship with Gotham City. While the earlier scenes showed him capturing crooks of all levels, there was a certain level of detachment between he and us. Scant information was given about his personal life; he was defined by his actions as a man with a mask and as Bruce Wayne when he expressed his intentions to Alfred (Michael Caine) and what he felt he could do better for the city. Despite sporting a cape and a mask, it was made clear to us that he was a civil servant first and that felt refreshing. Other civic servants in the film included Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman), a police lieutenant, and Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), a district attorney who felt equal passion as Batman and his comrades to overturn the Gotham underworld and to rid the streets of crime. I enjoyed that much of the attention was on Dent and how he responded to the stresses incited by The Joker. While there was a clear character arc in Dent, it was an unpredictable course because, like a real person, although he valued many things, not all of them were of equal importance. As more of his buttons were pushed, the pressure increased until the inevitable breaking point. Eckhart had to be lauded because we had to be with his character every step of the way. As Gotham's white knight, Dent didn't prowl the streets at night to capture bad guys but the actor found a way to communicate to us why he was a heroic and ultimately a tragic figure. Another performance worth nothing included Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes, Bruce's friend since childhood and Dent's romantic interest. Gyllenhaal found a balance between intelligence and spunk so I cared about Rachel when she eventually had to confront The Joker and was threatened to have her face carved with a permanent smile. Lastly, Ledger gave a performance so magnetic, I relished every sound that came out of his mouth and obsessed over the subtle body movements he embedded within his deranged character. While the script was very sharp to the point where just about anyone could read it and sound evil, Ledger made it his own, techniques ranging from strange ticks to awkward pauses, allowing The Joker to be evil and fun without being silly or cartoonish. The film was a rousing entertainment partly because it had an excellent villain. I likened The Joker to a super-bacterium, a microorganism resistant to antibiotics. Batman, government officials like Dent, and the police were the drugs meant to cure its host, Gotham City, of an affliction. While they were able to get rid of regular bacteria like Falcone and his successors (Eric Roberts), The Joker was immune because his mind functioned differently as a super-bacterium's wall composed of various unexpected defenses which made it impervious to the effects of drugs. This made The Joker a real threat, mirrored by his realistic-looking terrorist attacks in the city. Directed by Christopher Nolan, "The Dark Knight," though slightly longwinded toward the end, gave us credit by not just being about right or wrong or which side would win ultimately. It was about the process of reaching a goal which meant taking a magnifying glass on victories, big and small, as well as, and perhaps more importantly, failures. There's a chance for growth in failure and unfortunately, in our society plagued with cynicism, that isn't emphasized enough.

The amount would be a record for a gala held by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and among the higher sums ever raised for an event by a New York City cultural organization.
"He got all of the former chairs to say yes to a figure that is above what we would typically do for a gala," said Frank A. Bennack Jr., a former Lincoln Center chairman whose company, the Hearst Corporation, bought a table at the top price: $250,000. Mr. Levy, with help from Katherine G. Farley, Lincoln Center's chairwoman, and others, sold six tables at $250,000, 10 tables at $100,000, two tables at $75,000, 26 tables at $50,000 and 55 tables at $25,000. A journal printed for the gala with paid ads raised another $2 million.
The gala, which will feature a performance by Audra McDonald, had to be moved to the 2,700-seat Avery Fisher Hall from Jazz at Lincoln Center's 1,100-seat Rose Theater because of demand. Dinner for a high-paying 1,200 (chili sea-salt crusted filet of beef) will follow under a tent in Damrosch Park.
For cultural organizations where performance revenues cover just a portion of the operating budget, a chief executive with the fund-raising gene has become an absolute necessity — particularly given that corporate contributions and government funding have declined. Lincoln Center must raise nearly half its budget every year.
Mr. Levy, 68, came to Lincoln Center in 2002 with considerable management experience, having been president of the International Rescue Committee, one of the world's largest refugee organizations; president of the AT&T Foundation; and executive director of the 92nd Street Y. And he helped shepherd Lincoln Center's $1.2 billion overhaul of the campus, which was completed in last fall.
He is also a glutton for "the ask." Many arts officials consider solicitation conversations a necessary evil; Reynold Levy relishes them. He has perfected the personal touch — researching potential donors and then targeting his pitches to their specific interests. And though donors sometimes find Mr. Levy's earnest enthusiasm for Lincoln Center a little over the top, his belief in the cause generally carries the day. People reach for their checkbooks.
But Mr. Milstein said he got the full treatment when he didn't respond to Mr. Levy's initial letter because it arrived in September, so far in advance — eight months before the gala.
Every letter was personally postscripted.
"That's how you raise money," Mr. Levy said.
During his tenure Mr. Levy has increased the number of galas from two a year to about 10 — each of which is pegged to a specific event, like Mostly Mozart or American Songbook and sometimes to a particular audience, like families or real estate executives. He increased the number of board members to 78 from 47 to broaden Lincoln Center's base of support.
What about donor fatigue? "People occasionally say, 'Oh my goodness, not another gala,' " Mr. Bennack said. "But by and large they've been responsive and by and large they've been enjoyable evenings.
For his last hurrah Mr. Levy is determined to give them a gala they won't forget. Prominent chefs will be on hand to serve hors d'oeuvres on Avery Fisher's Promenade before the performance — lamb tagine, anyone? (Daniel Boulud). Shrimp with dirty rice? (Marcus Samuelsson).
Mr. Levy also got his friend Tom Brokaw, the former news anchor, to be the M.C.
"Because it's so large and unprecedented and I'm the honoree, I've got a personal interest in making sure that it works," Mr. Levy said. During the event he won't even try to steal a bite of the fava bean purée or the sesame biscotti; there is work still to be done. He'll have that glass of pinot noir when he gets home.
"In my wallet is an index card and on that are the table numbers and the names of the people I have to say hello to and thank and be introduced to," he said.
Didn't he promise all these people in that letter that if they gave to his gala he would never darken their doors again?
Apparently fund-raisers can't afford to worry about consistency, or popularity.
An article on Monday about Reynold Levy, who is stepping down as president of Lincoln Center, referred incorrectly to the $8 million he is trying to raise for the annual spring gala. It would be a record for a gala held by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts; it would not be a record for a gala held at Lincoln Center. (A gala there for the Metropolitan Opera's 125th anniversary in 2009 raised more than $10 million.) And an accompanying picture caption, using information from Lincoln Center, misidentified an actress shown dancing with Mr. Levy. She is Colleen Dunn, not Deborah Yates.

No. 2 Clemson dominates top-ranked Alabama 44-16

By Jordan Smith | January 7, 2019 at 5:00 AM EST - Updated January 11 at 9:18 AM
SANTA CLARA, CA (Gray News) - We thought it would be a shootout, but as the old cliché goes, defense wins championships.
Clemson's defense locked down Alabama in the second half and helped carry the No. 2 Tigers to a 44-16 win in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game. It's Clemson's third claimed national title and its first since 2016, which also came against Alabama.
At 15-0, the Tigers are the first undefeated squad to win the championship since the playoff system began.
A back-and-forth opening quarter ended with Clemson leading 14-13. Bama opened the second quarter with a 25-yard field goal.
Those three points were the last the Tide manged to put up. Clemson, however, strung together 31 unanswered.

Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence had an outstanding game. He completed 20-of-32 passes for 347 yards. He tossed three touchdowns to Travis Etienne on a gain of five, Justyn Ross on a gain of 74 and Tee Higgens on a gain of five.

Etienne led the Tigers in rushing with 86 yards on 14 carries and scored twice on runs of one and 17 yards.
The Tiger defense got the scoring started when A.J. Terrell intercepted Tua Tagovailoa's pass in the flats and returned it 44-yards for the first score of the game.

The lead didn't last long. In fact, The Tide tied the game at 7 just 75 seconds later. Tagovailoa hit Jerry Jeudy deep for a 62-yard score.

All of that was within the first five minutes of the game. At that point, the game looked like it would be a shootout.
We should've expected a high-scoring affair. Clemson averaged 45.7 points per game this season and Bama averaged 49.
The interceptions are uncharacteristic of Tagovailoa, who threw just four all season. He finished with 295 yards in the air and completed 22-of-34 passes. But he took so many sacks, he finished with negative nine yards rushing.

Jeudy caught five passes and racked up a team-high 139 yards.
As a team, Alabama totaled 148 yards on the ground. Najee Harris led the way with 59 on nine carries. Damien Harris finished just behing him with 57 yards on 11 carries.
Josh Jacobs ran for 47 yards on 11 carries.
Historically, Alabama has dominated its rivalry with Clemson. The Tigers won the first three meetings more than a century ago, but the Tide strung together 13 straight wins over the Tigers after the 1905 meeting.
But Monday's 28-point loss was Alabama's largest margin of defeat in Nick Saban's tenure.
The Crimson Tide will open the season on Aug. 31 in Atlanta against the Duke Blue Devils.
The champs will open the season at home against Georgia Tech on Aug. 29.

hsy Racing set to tackle round 1 of the Audi R8 LMS Cup in Adelaide
hsy Racing will hit the streets of Adelaide this weekend for round 1 of the Audi R8 LMS Cup, with hsy branding gracing the cars of both James and Theo Koundouris. The Melbourne Performance Centre stable of R8's will race the sole Australian round of this category, which predominately races in Asia, although also features rounds at the famed Nurburgring 24 hour race in Germany. The competition is hot, with approximately 20 of the fastest Audi pilots in the world taking part in the one-make series.
hsy was slated to appear on the #3 car of Ash Samadi, although after his mechanical failure and subsequent injury at the Bathurst 12 hour, Ash was unable to gain a medical clearance and will be unable to compete in Adelaide. We hope to see Ash back on the track soon.
Practice kicks off for the category on Thursday, with the screaming V10's hitting the circuit at 11:25 for a half an hour session. The weekend culminates in a race each on Saturday and Sunday, with Race 1 taking place at 2:05pm on Saturday and Race 2 at 10:55am on Sunday.
While it's almost impossible to predict how these races will pan out with such a wide variety of drivers in identical cars, it would be no surprise to see both Koundouris brothers towards the front of the pack. Both drivers have been strong campaigners in the Australian GT category over many years.
Check the below schedule to find out when you can catch the hsy Racing team in action, with all coverage featuring on Fox Sports 506 and at select times on Channel 10 throughout the weekend.
Thursday 1st March
Practice 1 – 11:25 – 11:55 (Fox 506)
Friday 2nd March
Qualifying 1 – 10:40 – 11:00 (Fox 506)

Officer in critical condition after being shot at traffic stop: Police
kali9/iStock(DENTON, Texas) -- A Texas police officer is in critical condition after being shot in the head during a traffic stop on Tuesday, authorities said.
Urbano Rodriguez Jr., a five-year veteran of the Denton Police Department, initiated a traffic stop for an equipment violation just minutes after midnight, according to police.
Rodriguez was shot in the head and femur, said police, and a back-up officer, Randy Cole, returned fire, striking both suspects in the arm.
The two suspects, Antwon Pinkston and Michele Stacey, led police on a car chase and were then taken into custody, according to police.
The suspects were medically cleared and taken to jail, police said. Pinkston was charged with attempted capital murder of a peace officer, while Stacey, the driver, is being held on a parole violation, police said.
At an afternoon news conference Denton Police Chief Frank Dixon praised Cole, the back-up officer, who has worked with the Denton Police Department for less than one year.
Cole helped Rodriguez and put out "vital information" that led to the suspects' capture, he said.
"Officer Cole exhibited tremendous courage, heroism and just a calm, professional, steady hand," Dixon said.
Rodriguez underwent surgery and remains in critical condition, police said. Recovery is "favorable," Dixon added.
"Keep our officers in your thoughts and prayers," Dixon said.
A motive for the shooting is unclear, the chief said.

Ligands with a variety of functionalities, including fluorescent labels, affinity tags and solid phase attachment abilities. The ligands form covalent bonds rapidly under general physiological conditions; the bonds are highly specific and essentially irreversible. HaloTag® Fluorescent Ligands enable you to add the chloroalkane group with which HaloTag® protein reacts, to any compound or surface with a compatible chemical group. The possible applications are endless.
The Alexa Fluor® 488 Ligand is impermeable to cell membranes and, therefore, used to label cell surface proteins. The TMR Ligand, Oregon Green® Ligand, diAcFAM Ligand and Coumarin Ligand readily cross the cell membrane and, therefore, can be used to label intracellular proteins.
HaloTag® Biotin Ligand. Contains a 12-atom linker arm to biotin and is used as an affinity tag to capture the HaloTag® protein-based fusion construct via biotin-streptavidin interaction.
HaloTag® PEG-Biotin Ligand. Contains a spacer not found in the HaloTag® Biotin Ligand that provides a significantly longer, more flexible linker between streptavidin and the HaloTag® protein. This linker may help preserve HaloTag® fusion partner protein activity upon immobilization or derivatization.
Pull Down Protein Complexes: The spacer and reactive linker of the HaloTag® PEG-Biotin Ligand provide ideal pull-down capabilities. Alternatively, pull down directly with the HaloLink™ Resin.
Image Fixed Cells: The covalent bond is stable, allowing imaging of fixed cells and analysis of the labeled protein under stringent conditions.
Introduce Novel Functionalities or Perform Sequential Labeling: The open architecture of the technology enables the use of different ligands for multiple applications.
Design Only One Genetic Construct for Multiple Experiments: Obtain new functionality by using a different HaloTag® Ligand without having to design and clone a new expression construct.
Analyze Labeled Fusion Proteins Using SDS-PAGE, Mass Spectrometry, etc.: The bound ligand is stable under denaturing conditions.
For more information, see the Protocols & Applications Guide.

Each potato slice can only get rid of dozens of larvae at a time. Since adult gnats can lay 200-300 eggs at a time, getting rid of a heavy infestation with potato slices alone would be impossible. However, as a way to measure gnat population size and see if your other methods are working, it is fantastic.
