Never Mind the Botox*** (White Bear Theatre)
Posted: March 6, 2014 in Theatre
Welcome to Evergreen's, a clinic in deepest Essex where youth and beauty can be restored at the stroke of a scalpel, Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror plays on a loop and floors may be a little dusty because the vacuum cleaner is being used for liposuction procedures. Nick Reed's new farce at first seems Ortonesque, but the name of the resident surgeon, Dr Longadonga, gives a clue that the humour is likely to be more in the vein of the Carry on films. When Amy (Georgia Darell), a plain Jane, scornfully accompanies her vampish mother Wendy (Lesley Moloney) to the clinic for a face lift, she also bumps into her father (David Skynner), in for a hair transplant, her ex-boyfriend (Matthew Fraser Holland), getting a penis enlargement, and her uncle (Alex Harland), dropping by for his regular Botox booster jabs and piling up Nectar points in the process. Mishaps and mistaken identities ensue, played with forced zaniness and peppered with smart one-line gags. Dr L (Mike Goodenough) is an obese drunk, who dreams of becoming a vet and the clinic is run by his wife Christina, played by Liza Callinicos, who gives a deliciously funny performance. Wearing a permanent false smile and showing zero tact, her interest in the patients is purely financial and, when one of them makes a complaint, she retorts "I'm too busy to feign interest". She fawns over a journalist (Ewen Mackintosh) who turns up to write a review of the clinic, making it pretty well certain that the procedure which he undergoes will have a disastrous outcome. This sort of material, with one-dimensional characters and a nonsense plot, often only works in short comedy sketches, becoming tiresome when stretched out for longer. So it comes as a pleasant surprise that Nick Reed keeps it bubbling for almost two hours (with interval). Largely, this is due to splendid comic timing by all the performers who deliver the rapid-fire jokes, some of them very funny, with precision. If this play was to become a meaningful satire on the modern day obsession with looks, its scalpel would need to be sharper and its incisions would need to go a lot deeper. As it is, it probably will not linger in the memory for too long, but it is a lot of fun while it lasts.

Herbert Burns Gets Tapout in Sweden, on Tear for Abu Dhabi WPJJC Tryouts
Herbert Burns (grey sleeves) with his buddies in Sweden, where he even helped train UFC light heavyweight Alexander Gusfasson (Personal archive photo)
One of the most hotly disputed qualifiers for the April main event in Abu Dhabi, the Rio de Janeiro, Brazil leg of the WPJJC Trials will be held Jan. 19 and 20 at Caio Martins Gymnasium in the city of Niterói, Rio de Janeiro State.
The tournament is sure to go off, as world champions Rodolfo Vieira and Gabi Garcia are set to hit the mats there.
Another big name confirmed for combat is Herbert Burns, brother to Gilbert "Durinho", who is traveling Europe and will return home raring to win an all-expenses-paid trip to the United Arab Emirates.
What do you expect at the Trials in Niterói?
I expect the best. I always go in it to win it, and this time will be no different. With six-minute matches the action becomes more dynamic, much more explosive, but that's how I fight. Anyone who wants to win has to stay ahead on the scoreboard the whole time.
How's your training been going, with this tour of Europe and all?
I arrive in Brazil on the 10th because I've got a series of seminars to teach in Sweden. Truth is, here I've been training more MMA and No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu, but as soon as I return I'm going to tune up my gi game with my teacher Casquinha at Top Brother and Oriente academies in Niteroi. Here in Sweden I managed to keep in shape, and I even competed at and won a grappling tournament. Check out one of the matches.
You're coming off a blemishless campaign at the 2012 Brazilian National No-Gi Championship. Do you consider yourself to be a firm favorite to win at the Trials?
I never enter a competition for competing's sake; if I don't think I have what it takes to win I don't even sign up. I feel this business of there being favorites only exists before the match begins. I'm going to give it my all and gun for my objective, which is to make it to top spot on the podium. I always work on everything and try to be prepared for any situation I might encounter, so my game is always free-flowing and attacking, with lots of movement. I'm going to fight like I always do—going for the finish, which is Jiu-Jitsu's essence.
What about you, gentle reader, how about competing in the United Arab Emirates with all expenses paid? Click here to get in on the WPJJC Trials in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro State.

Stalley drops video for "Multimillion Dollar Man" featuring Trippie Redd
The track can be found on his 'CAKE' project.
Stalley iss back with another visual, this time for the Trippie Redd-assisted "Multimillion Dollar Man." For the song's hook, Trippie slides in with his signature melodic voice for some words about making it out the mud:
I know I'm a multimillion dollar man, but I still act like I'm starving. N***a I was bred that way, it was hard to harvest it./ Now I'm on my way. Now I'm up at the top, different by a margin.
Stalley shared a new single at the top of December titled "No Church" featuring Edd Stark. The aforementioned Speak No Blue is an 8-track project that was released on Sept. 25, just months after his other 2020 release Pariah. He prepped fans for its release by providing a quick taste of what he's been working on with single "Dinosaur." Speak No Blue includes features from Major Myjah and Trippie Redd. Stalley released Reflection Of Self: The Head Trip in November last year via Nature Sounds. He then celebrated another trip around the sun by unleashing his CAKE project. Prior to that, his albums Ohio, New Wave, and Another Level were released in 2014 and 2017, respectively.
In October, Trippie Redd unveiled his third studio album Pegasus, which boasts 26 tracks and assists from PARTYNEXTDOOR, Chris Brown, Rich The Kid, Young Thug, Future, Quavo, Busta Rhymes, Lil Wayne, Swae Lee, and more. The project was well-received, debuting at the number two spot on the Billboard 200 thanks to 60,000 album equivalent units sold during its first week of release. Trippie Redd also recently shared new visuals for "Love Scars 4" and "Weeeeee," and assisted Stalley on his Speak No Blue project and linked up Luh Kel for his "Feen" video.
Be sure to watch Stalley's new music video for "Million Dollar Man" down below.
Trippie Redd reveals new single "Sleepy Hollow"

Many businesses around Thailand have reacted to the news that employing illegal workers could mean severe penalties being applied.
As a result, reports claim that around three million foreign workers are to be registered.
It was announced recently that companies could face fines of up to 800,000 baht per employee caught working illegally.
Many companies had failed to register workers in the belief that the punishment for not doing so would not be harsh but with the Decree on the Management of Foreign Workers Act 2017 being declared, panic set in, resulting in an influx of applications.
The new rules do not affect the likes of the fishing industries, who use a vast amount of foreign labour. This is due to workers having been regulated by the government in previous crackdowns on unregulated fishing and human trafficking. It is thought that 70,000 fishermen are employed from other nations.


During last night's UFC Fight Night 58 event on FOX Sports 1 it was announced that former light-heavyweight champion Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson has re-signed for the UFC after a stint in rival promotion Bellator.
The announcement has immediately raised eyebrows for a number of reasons, not least the fact that Bellator claim that the 36 year-old, who won their 205lb tournament earlier in the year, is still under contract with them.
However, at last night's UFC post-fight press conference Marshall Zelaznik told the assembled media that they were convinced there was no issue with the signing.
Then 'Rampage' himself appeared on FOX Sports 1 post-fight to explain more of the details as to why he had suddenly jumped ship in order to return to the Octagon.
"It's just one of those things where people don't honor their contracts and it's just not cool," Jackson continued. "You can be a big company and that means you don't have to honor your contracts?
According to MMAfighting.com's Ariel Helwani part of the issue may have been that Bellator hadn't provided 'Rampage' with the pay-per-view numbers for his fight with 'King Mo' which had been the promotions first foray into that market.
There had been claims in the weeks after the event from Spike TV (who are owned by Viacom as are Bellator) president Kevin Kay that the PPV may have attracted as many as 100,000 buyers which came as something of a surprise, though the exact figures have never been made publicly available in order to verify that.
Just a couple of years ago it would have been hard to envisage the UFC bringing back 'Rampage' after he left the promotion complaining that he was being poorly treated, not to mention the fact that he was on a three-fight losing streak.

Trading options is when an investor buys or sells call or put options. An option buyer pays the seller a fee, or premium, in exchange for certain rights to the stock option. An option is a contract between a buyer and a seller that is based on an underlying security, usually a stock. In exchange for the premium, the seller assumes certain obligations.
Each options investing contract has an expiration date, which gives it a limited life span (usually less than nine months). The strike price (or exercise price), is the price at which buyers can exercise their rights under the contract. There are two ways to participate in trading options: call options and put options.
Call options give the holder or buyer the right to buy the underlying security at a specified strike price until the expiration date. The seller of the call has the obligation to sell or deliver the underlying security at the strike price until the expiry date.
Put options grant the holder or buyer the right to sell the underlying security at the strike price until the expiry date. The seller or writer of the put has the obligation to buy or take delivery of the underlying security until expiration, if the option holder exercises the option.
Trading options is a major profit source for many brokers, since you pay commissions each time you buy or sell stock options. That's one of the main reasons that most options traders wind up losing money.

Identity Evropa's controversial new ringleader
Brendan Joel Kelley
In a recent Washington Post article about the alt-right hijacking mainstream brands (in this case, Papa John's pizza), the backdrop is a racist shindig at the Alexandria home of National Policy Institute leader Richard Spencer.
But the white nationalist quoted in the story defending the Nazis' cooption of the brand wasn't Spencer, but a 26-year-old named Eli Mosley.
Mosley, whose real name is Elliott Kline, has become a leading figure in the racist alt-right since this summer, when he helped Jason Kessler organize the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville. Later in August, Mosley took over leadership of Identity Evropa, the white nationalist group known for flyering at college campuses across the nation. And Mosley's been a regular presence at Spencer's side during his ill-received college campus tour.
Despite Mosley's ascension to the upper ranks of the alt-right, he's a controversial figure in white nationalist circles, blamed by some former allies for the violent disaster at Charlottesville, and even doxed by his own people, accused of being a Jew.
Like many newer alt-right organizations, Identity Evropa tries to cloak its white supremacist ideology with pseudo-intellectualism meant to appeal to young, white, male college students — no swastikas here, but clean-cut boys with fashy haircuts and pressed khakis.
But not that long ago, in spring of this year, Mosley a/k/a Kline wasn't shy about the bigotry in his polemics whatsoever. In a report for Andrew Anglin's Daily Stormer about a pro-Trump demonstration in March, Mosley wrote, "In Philadelphia, the city of f------- love, played out an alliance between the Nazi led marchers and local police departments against their oven-dodging enemies… Spoiler, the Nazis won bigly." He continues, "This is a sign that we have moved into a new era in the Nazification of America. Normie Trump supporters are becoming racially aware and Jew Wise."
From Reading, Pennsylvania, Mosley was a member of Gavin McInnes's Proud Boys in 2016, later joining Identity Evropa and growing close to its founder, fellow veteran and white supremacist Nathan Damigo, another Spencer ally who gained notoriety for punching a female anti-fascist protester in the face at the April 15 far-right rally in Berkeley. (Damigo also did time in prison for armed robbery after pulling a gun on a cab driver for "looking Iraqi" and stealing $43, resulting in an Other Than Honorable discharge from the Marines.)
Damigo and Mosley were both heavily involved in planning the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville; Mosley authored the "General Orders" document instructing racist participants about the weekend's plans, including the "secret" torch lit rally on Friday night.
After the violent disaster in Charlottesville, where 32-year-old Heather Heyer was killed by a white supremacist plowing a car into a crowd, fractures in the organizers' alliance appeared. Kessler posted a tweet about how Heyer deserved to die, which drew online condemnation from Mosley and Spencer. Kessler blamed Mosley for the multitudinous failures of the rally, saying, "There is an individual who has done a coordinated smear job on me, from within the movement; that person is Eli Mosley, Elliott Kline. From the beginning he was f------ things up."
Nathan Damigo emerged as a casualty of Charlottesville; the negative media attention (he called the violence in Berkeley where he punched a teenager a test run for Charlottesville, and Spencer was happy to let him take credit for the latter rally; Damigo's family also publicly disavowed him). On August 27, Damigo stepped away from Identity Evropa and announced Mosley would take the reins.
Not long after, on the online message board 8chan, fellow white supremacists attempted to out Mosley/Kline as Jewish.
But Mosley and his allies from "Unite the Right" would soon have bigger trouble on their hands. Mosley is among 21 racist leaders being targeted in two lawsuits, one federal and one in the state of Virginia, seeking damages for the violence in Charlottesville. Some civil lawsuits against hate groups, including ones brought by the SPLC, have resulted in the financial decimation of those groups.
Specifically, the federal lawsuit accuses the defendants, Mosley included, of an "anti-civil rights conspiracy," while the state suit says Mosley and Kessler "solicited the presence of paramilitary organizations, facilitated attendees' instruction in military techniques, and issued tactical commands to the other alt-right" participants, with the militias' presence violating Virginia law. The state suit cites messages sent by Mosley on the Discord chat app which were leaked to the media collective Unicorn Riot.
The threat in the courts hasn't slowed or quieted Mosley, though. On October 7, he returned to Charlottesville with Spencer and a contingent of Identity Evropa members for another tiki torch march, replete with chanting, after protesting at the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. earlier the same day. Mosley also served as an opening act for Spencer when they were both shouted down at an October 19 appearance at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Mosley called the protesters "wild hyenas," "brainwashed by anti-white propaganda from their professors, from the media," Florida Today reported.
"This right here, what you're doing, is the best recruiting tool for us that you could possibly ever give us," he told the crowd of hecklers in Gainesville. True or not, Mosley's quest to convert young white males on campus to his racist white nationalist cause continues on.

Black Power studies have been dominated by the North American story, but after decades of scholarly neglect, the growth of "New Black Power Studies" has revitalized the field. Central to the current agenda are a critique of the narrow domestic lens through which U.S. Black Power has been viewed and a call for greater attention to international and transnational dimensions of the movement. Black Power in the Caribbean highlights the unique origins and causes of Black Power mobilization in the Caribbean and its relationship to Black Power in the United States, ultimately situating the historical roots and modern legacies of the movement in a wider, international context.
Kate Quinn, Chair of the Society for Caribbean Studies and lecturer in Caribbean history at the Institute of the Americas at University College London, is the coeditor of Politics and Power in Haiti.
Strives toward a better understanding of the big questions of social justice and the role of marginalized populations in historic struggles for change and transformation not only in the Caribbean but also throughout the globe.
The contributions to this volume give valuable insights into many facets of 1960s and 1970s Caribbean radicalism.
A thoughtful effort to link Black Power to the complexities of modern Caribbean politics.

The Music Appreciation Movement
Repeated
01 20110822 20120903
Richard Witts on the origins of Music Appreciation, and the work of pioneer Percy Scholes.
In the early twentieth century a prominent British movement sprang up under the title 'Music Appreciation', with the aims of introducing to 'ordinary' listeners 'great' or 'serious' music, and teaching them 'the art of listening'. Radio became a chief means by which this misson was to be accomplished, while books, adult education courses and regional 'Music Travellers', also contributed to a new educational field. In this series, musicologist and cultural historian Richard Witts explains the movement's origins, ambitions and idiosyncrasies, and clarifies why it fell out of favour in the second half of the twentieth century. In this first programme he looks at the movement's origins, and the work of its British pioneer, Percy Scholes.
Producer: Sara Davies
First broadcast in August 2011.
Richard Witts on educationalist Walford Davies and Imogen Holst, one of his team.
In the early twentieth century a prominent British movement sprang up under the title 'Music Appreciation', with the aims of introducing to 'ordinary' listeners 'great' or 'serious' music, and teaching them 'the art of listening'. Radio became a chief means by which this misson was to be accomplished, while books, adult education courses and regional 'Music Travellers', also contributed to a new educational field. In this series, musicologist and cultural historian Richard Witts explains the movement's origins, ambitions and idiosyncrasies, and clarifies why it fell out of favour in the second half of the twentieth century as postmodernism cast doubt on what was 'great' and 'serious'. In this second programme he looks at the work of the educationalist and pioneer schools broadcaster Walford Davies, and one of his team of music educators known dismissively by the Bloomsbury set as 'Walford's Holy Women', Imogen Holst.
Musicologist Richard Witts explores the significance of programme notes.
In the early twentieth century a prominent British movement sprang up under the title 'Music Appreciation', with the aims of introducing to 'ordinary' listeners 'great' or 'serious' music, and teaching them 'the art of listening'. Radio became a chief means by which this misson was to be accomplished, while books, adult education courses and regional 'Music Travellers', also contributed to a new educational field. In this series, musicologist and cultural historian Richard Witts of Edge Hill University explains the movement's origins, ambitions and idiosyncrasies, and clarifies why it fell out of favour in the second half of the twentieth century. In this third programme he explores the significance of programme notes, and looks at how the BBC took on the mission to inform and educate its audience about classical music.

Product Certification >
I.S. EN 1090-1 Requirements for conformity assessment of structural components
The National Regulations, namely, European Union (Construction Products) Regulations 2013 - S.I. No. 225 of 2013, which were signed into law by the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government on 27 June 2013, facilitate the application of the CPR in Ireland providing for inspection of products on the Irish market by Local Authorities. These Regulations came into operation on 1 July 2013. The aim of the regulation is to harmonise the safety performance of construction products across the EU and they apply as mandatory to anything placed on the market, whether imported or manufactured in the EU.
Since July 2014 Structural Steelwork and aluminium now fall under the CPR and therefore must carry CE marking to demonstrate that they comply with EN 1090-1:2009 +A1:2011 Execution of Steel Structures and Aluminium Structures – Part 1: Requirements for conformity assessment of structural components, which involves a number of steps that culminate in certification by a third party, known as a notified inspection body (NB). Irish NBs must be notified by the notifying authority (DoECLG) and accredited by a National Accreditation Board (e.g. in Ireland this is INAB).
Impact on typical fabrication company
NSAI's experience to date has been that to comply with the standard steel fabrication companies need to:
Implement a quality control management system into their organisations. This management system needs to document the procedures and capture the necessary records to ensure traceability and confidence in the manufactured product.
Designate at least one person is as the Responsible Welding Coordinator, there is specific training required for this role.
Welders will also need to be qualified as will the welding procedures. A welding procedure is required for each different type of weld.
Industry Supports
NSAI are engaging with the Local Enterprise Office's (LEO's) and Enterprise Ireland to inform the industry and provide appropriate supports to address the requirements of the CPR and I.S. EN 1090-1.
Targeted information campaign to be initiated in January 2015 with;
Information Seminars for the LEO's
Web based information on requirements - see the seminar presentations
Communications through representative bodies / stakeholders
Primary standards I.S. EN 1090-1 & I.S. EN 1090-2 will be made available, through the Local Enterprise Offices, to industry at a discounted packaged rate. Contact NSAI to be notified when this is available.
Development of point of contact / consultants / training supports to enable industries compliance / achievement of the CPR requirements in conjunction with Enterprise Ireland and LEO's network.
NSAI has undertaken the accreditation requirement to enable it act as a notified inspection body.
Pre-audit Questionnaire
An NSAI Pre-audit Questionnaire for I.S. EN 1090-1 is available to industry, to facilitate preliminary assessment by affected businesses. Download Pre-audit Questionnaire.
What is the aim of the Construction Products Regulations (CPR)?
The Construction Products Regulations (CPR) came into effect in across the EU on 1st July 2013. The aim of the regulation is to harmonise the safety performace of construction products across the EU and they apply to anything placed on the market, whether imported or manufactured in the EU.
The CPR defines seven principles for materials that are to be used in civil engineering:
Mechanical resistance & stability
Safety in case of fire
Hygiene, health & the environment
Safety and accessibility in use
Protection against noise
Energy economy & heat retention
Sustainable use of natural resources
Who does it apply to?
As of July 1st 2014 the majority of manufactured structural metal components or kits that have been either made in the Ireland or imported, and to which a harmonised European standard applies, must comply with the CPR & CE marking requirements. The harmonised European standard that applies to structural metalwork is I.S. EN 1090-1 .
The regulations apply to a wide range of activities involving manufactured items:
Importers of structural metalwork kits or components
Stockholders and metal processors that modify stock e.g. by drilling, painting, bending, electroplating etc.
Manufacturers of metal components or kits that have a structural use in civil engineering.
Organisations covered by CPR will need to show that they comply with I.S. EN 1090-1:2009 +A1:2011 Execution of Steel Structures and Aluminium Structures – Part 1: Requirements for conformity assessment of structural components, which involves a number of steps that culminate in certification by a third party, known as a notified inspection body (NB). Irish NBs must be notified by the notifying authority (DoECLG) and accredited by a National Accreditation Board (e.g. in Ireland this is INAB).
What products are covered?
Download the guide list of items not covered by EN 1090:2009+A1:2011
How is compliance addressed?
Market survellience has been delegated by the Department of Environment, Community & Local Government to the Local Authorities to ensure compliance. Under S.I. 225 of 2013 and it is a criminal offence to supply structural metalwork after the 1st of July 2014 unless it conforms to this standard and carries a legitimate CE mark. Penalties for breaches of the CPR include fines and imprisonment.

Basic swimming ability is a fundamental requirement in any meaningful attempt to eliminate drowning in Canada. This is what the Lifesaving Society's Swim to Survive campaign is all about. This drowning prevention program aims to reduce drowning by 50 percent within 10 years.
Why is the Lifesaving Society introducing Swim to Survive?
We believe swimming is a life skill that all children need to learn. It's no different than fire safety or street proofing.
Our research shows that most drownings occur close to safety.
After bicycling, swimming is the second most popular activity in Canada among school-age children between 5 and 12 years of age. The Lifesaving Society wants to make sure they each have the basic skills to survive.
Swim skills are not innate – they need to be taught – and all children deserve the chance to learn.
Swim to Survive is an important first step to being safe around water. If every child in Canada could pass our Swim to Survive standard, we would reduce the number of drownings by half.
What is the Swim to Survive Standard?
Who is Swim to Survive designed for?
Swim to Survive is aimed primarily at children, but people of all ages should be able to perform our Swim to Survive standard.
Swim to Survive is an ideal program for school groups, brownies, cubs, youth groups – anyone needing to improve lifesaving swimming skills!
Is it just a new standard for swimming lessons?
Not at all. Swim to Survive is different from swimming lessons. Swim to Survive teaches the basics needed to survive an unexpected fall into deep water.
The Society strongly encourages parents to enroll their children in swimming lessons. In fact, the Society's Swim program includes the Swim to Survive standard.
Isn't it better to be a strong swimmer?
Yes! Swim to Survive deals with the basics, it's not a replacement for swimming lessons. Everyone should learn to swim!
How do people learn more?
Contact Linda Kennedy, Lifesaving Society Area Chairperson to arrange a Swim to Survive program for your group at the Moore Sports Complex, 867-2651.

SC junks PIL seeking to debar candidates with more than 2 children from electoral fray
The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking directions to the Election Commission to mandate the recognised political parties to not field candidates with more than two children, wondering how a "constitutional court can say that if you have more than two children, you can't contest election".
The petitioner had also sought that the two-child norm be made a criterion for getting government jobs, subsidies and other benefits to check population explosion.
An unimpressed bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Sanjiv Khanna asked how could they say that a person having more than two children should not be fielded as a candidate by recognised political parties, wondering if saying so was a proportionate judicial order.
"How can this court say that someone who has more than two children should not be allowed to contest from a recognised political part? Is it a proportionate judicial order?" CJI Gogoi asked as the court dismissed the PIL filed by advocate and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay.
The court also flagged the issue of the propriety, legality and jurisdiction to pass such an order.
However, the court dismissed the PIL as withdrawn after Upadhyay told the bench that he has made representations to the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Chief Election Commissioner on the issue.
Having been ducked on the issue of barring candidates with more than two children from the electoral fray, the petitioner raised the issue of different marriageable age for girls and boys, which is 18 and 21, respectively, and pointed to gender justice and gender equality.
But the unimpressed court asked Upadhyay how could he combine the two issues – barring candidates with more than two children and different marriageable age for boys and girls. "You have moved from the Election Commission to the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act," the court said.

About the Rockabilly Chronicle
Rockabilly, Psychobilly and everything in between.
Nervous records
Frantic Flintstones – Bedrock!
Raucous Records RAUC002 [1987]
Bedrock – Hot Head Baby – Let's Go Somewhere – Sugar Daddy
Released in 1987, Bedrock is the first-ever effort on wax by the Frantic Flintstones. All the ingredients are already in place: demented vocals from Chuck Harvey, furious slap bass by Gary Day, and simple but effective guitar. Three fast-paced Psychobilly tune and a slower one, Sugar Daddy, to conclude.
One thousand five hundred copies were pressed; 1000 with a printed sleeve and 500 with a white sleeve.
Frantic Flintstones – Nightmare On Nervous
Frantic Flintstones – A Nightmare on Nervous
Nervous Records NERCD034 [1988]
Hellfire – Monte Carlo or Bust – 44 – Please Cool Baby – Oh Baby oh Yeah – Alley Cat King – Gone Gone Well Gone – Red Chevy – Ring ring ringin' – What the Hell – Sugar Daddy – Frantic Flintstones – Safe Surf – Shake Your Honey Maker – Old Jack Joe – Jack the Ripper – Whisky Bottle Baby
Released in 1988, A Nightmare On Nervous marks the debut of a prolific career. In a certain aspect you can compare it to an early Johnny Cash album. By that I mean that this guy turn their weak points into a strength. With a guitarist far from being a virtuoso, they build their songs around Chuck's distinctive voice and a solid rhythm section that features Gary Day on bass. Sometimes the system shows its limits. Songs like "Suggar Daddy" and "Monte Carlo and bust", though good, could easily be one minute shorter. But this album is full of classics approaching different styles : early psychobilly (Alley Cat King, What The Hell), neo-rockabilly (44, Red Chevy) and even a wild rockin' blues (Billy Fury's Since You've Been Gone renamed here Gone Gone Well Gone). The cd version features 5 bonus tracks recorded later with Gasty on bass : two covers played the Flintstones way "Shake Your Honey Maker" and "Old Black Joe", "Safe Surf" a semi instrumental (Safe surf repeated a dozen times doesn't count as lyrics, does it?) variation around "Hang 10", "Jack The Ripper" is not Screaming Lord Sutch's but another version of "Necro Blues", and an excellent original "Whisky Bottle Baby" previously known in a live version on the "Live & Rockin'" album.
Frantic Flintstones – Live and Rockin'
Frantic Flintstones – Live'n'Rockin
Link [1988]
Alone Again – Round the Mountain – What The Hell -. Shake Your Moneymaker – No One Stays – Rockin'Bones – Necro Blues – Hang Ten – Bedrock – Old Black Joe – Gone Gone Well Gone – Playschool Baby – Just Because -. Whisky Bottle Baby – One Night Stand – Blue Christmas
The Live and Rockin' serie on Link was mostly a poorly recorded (and often poorly played) affair. One notable exception was the Frantic Flintstone live album recorded during the Rocking Out tour in November 1988. Despite being recorded just after the departure of ace bass player Gary "Gaz" Day who is replaced by Gasty from the Blue Ridge Rockets, it found the Flintstones in top form playing classics one after another. The songs come from Nightmare on Nervous, Rockin' Out and for the large part Not A Christmas Album recorded a couple of weeks after this gig. It hasn't been reissued on CD which is a shame but you can download it – legally – on Amazon or on other sites that sells music.
Frantic Flintstones – Well Gone In Europe
Kix4U KIX 3358 [1990]
Ole Black Joe – Alcohol Buzz – 44 – Honey Maker – Necro Blues – Gone Gone Well Gone – Let's Go Somewhere – The Race Is On – Legion Song – Cryin' Eyes (Country Mix – Broke Up (f/mushrooms Mix) – Endless Sleep (Skankabilly Mix)
The Frantic Flintstones released many albums often with the same songs. In the end, you keep wondering if you have another best-of of slightly different versions. This is what happens with "Well Gone In Europe." Except if you're a total and absolute completist, you can live without that one.
Frantic FLintstones – Take A Hike
Kix 4 U KIXCD3363 [1991]
Your Cheatin' Heart – Dream On-Blue – Just A Dream – Sweet Nothings – So Sad – Little old Lady – Necro Blues – Burned'n'Turned – Rockin' Bones – Frantic – Honey Maker – Gone Gone Well Gone – Blue Xmas – Santa Bring My Baby Back – Santa Claus Is Back In Town – Old Black Joe – Dream On-move
Though the sound is quite good, this album is far from being essential. Actually, on the 17 songs , 7 come from "Not A Christmas Album", 3 are re-recorded versions of Flintstones classics (Burned and Turned, Rockin' Bones, Necro blues) and in the remaining 7, Dream On is featured two times (a slow one and a fast one). That said the new versions are excellent, the group is in fine form and the Frantic Flintstones have released far worst than this album. One for the completist.
Frantic Flintstones – Cuttin' A Fine Line
Rumble RUMBCD009 / Raucous RAUCD0000106 [1991]
Chilled bones – You're the one who done it – Sweet Marilee – Jungle love – Time of day – You got me rockin' – Tom Dooley – Gotta know – Brown eyed girl – Boneshaker baby – Slowly killing me – Don't want you baby – Drug squad – West of London – Love me – Am I that easy to forget.
Released in the early nineties for the German label Rumble Records (Scum Rats, Rockabilly Mafia, Punishers etc.) "Cuttin' A Fine Line" finds the band in superb form with the return of Gaz Day on bass with Rich Taylor on drums (Nitros), Pug still on guitar and of course the unmistakable voice of Chuck Harvey. This excellent album (one the very best ever released by the band) mixes classic psychobilly numbers (Chilled Bones, Don't Want You Baby that features Gaz on lead vocals), blues (Time Of A Day), first class rockabilly (You're The One That Done It, Sweet Marilee, Gotta Know), skiffle (Tom Dooley) and some country songs like West Of London and Drug Squad that deals with one of Chuck's favourite subject. The selection is rounded with two acoustic numbers (Elvis'Love Me and Am I That Easy To Forget) with just Pug and Chuck that announces their following album, the all acoustic Skin Up, Chill Out, Just Buskin' Through.
Frantic Flintstones – Skin Up, Chill Out, Just Buskin' Through
Rumble RUMCD018/ Raucous [1992]
Hello Marylou – Blue Moon of Kentucky – Will the Circle be Unboken – You Are my Sunshine – Tom Dooley – I Can't Help it – Born to Lose – Goodnight Irene – It's Hard to be Humble – Love me – Drugs in the Valley – Take me Home, Country Roads – I Gotta Baby – Am I That Easy to Forget
The only thing predictable with the Frantic Flintstones is that they are unpredictable. For this record originally released on Rumble Records in 1992 the band – reduced to just Chuck and Pug – went for an acoustic session. The mood is very laid back and the repertoire is made of covers of classic rockabilly and hillbilly tunes taken from the catalog of Hank Williams, Mac Davis, John Denver, Ricky Nelson, Elvis, Johnny Cash, The Carter Family and though they appear in brand new version here, some of them have been recorded by the band before. It's not completely representative of the style of the Frantic Flintstones but it's a nice addition to your collection.
Frantic Flintstones – Rock it Boy
Rumble RUMBCD024 [1993]
Marylou – You Call Everybody Darlin' – You Ain't Nothing But Fine – I Cant Trust Me In Your Arms Anymore – Carry Me Back To Old Virginia – Blues Stay Away From Me – Blue Moon Of Kentucky – Your Cheatin' Heart – I'm Walkin' – Sweet Baby Doll – Will The Circle Be Unbroken – So CLose To Heaven – Jimmy Jazz – Love For A Nutter – Broken Heart
Originally released in 1993, this is the third Frantic Flintstones' album for the German label Rumble records. And like "Cuttin'…" and "Skill Up…" it has a strong rockabilly flavour in it. The line-up for this one is Chuck, Pug, Johnny Bowler (Get Smart, Guana Batz) and Scag. It's a very good album that only lacks of original songs, but with a charismatic band-leader like Chuck (and a solid band to back him) that's not such a big problem. The band draws into the catalog of Jerry Lee Lewis, hence the presence of a piano, Ricky Nelson, Rockin' Sydney, Johnny Burnette/Delmore Brothers, Hank Williams and delivers an excellent rockabilly version of the Clash's Jimmy Jazz. As usual with the FF it features different versions of previously released tunes like Blue Moon Of Kentucky, Will The Circle Be Unbroken and Your Cheatin' Heart wasted by the backing vocals. "Love For A Nutter" is a demo recorded with Alan Wilson that announces the following albums (X-Ray Sessions and Jalmboree) and the beginning of a fruitful collaboration. Bowler closes the set with a vocal prestation on "Broken Heart" that won't figure as one of the highest moment in the Frantic Flintstones history. It's been reissued on the British label Raucous Records with a slightly different cover.
Frantic Flintstones – Jamboree
CDMPSYCHO15 [1993]
Detroit Dirtbox – Love For A Nutter – Your Time Is Up – Mean Mean Woman – Diablo – Stay With Me – Sweet Georgia Brown – Lunatics (Are Raving) – Busted – Mindkill – (To The Devil)A Son – Oh 898 – Candyman – He's Waitin' – Sad N' Lonely – Suspended – Chop-Chop, Slash Slash – Honey Child – Hey Chuck – Detroit Bloodbox
Previously issued in 1993 but out of print since then, Anagram had the good idea to reissue this 20 songs album in their Psychobilly serie. Produced by Sharks frontman Alan Wilson who also plays most of the guitar parts, with former bassist Gary Day back in the line-up, this is one of the 3 best album the Frantic Flinstones ever made and probably the richest in styles approached. Wilson is one hell of a guitar player and songwriter and his team with Chuck Harvey is just perfect. From "Diablo" with its surprising jazzy solo in the middle, to the country tune "To the Devil A Son", and even a waltz ("Sad'n'Lonely") they apparently have fun to work together and explore various kind of music. Some guests are present too. Detroit Donny plays harmonica on "Detroit Dirt Box" a bluesy instrumental and on Roy Orbison's "Candyman", Sonny West, who had an album on Nervous, plays some guitars and sings The Sonics' "He's Waitin'". Alan Wilson sings "Mindkill" he co-wrote with Hodges. This one can be seen as the first song from the resurrected Sharks for this is during this recording that Gaz Day convinced him to reform the band. Psychobilly is present, of course, with"Your Time Is Up" which is not far from "What The Hell" on their debut album, "Sweet Georgia Brown" (not the jazz standard) and the great "Love For A Nutter", although I do prefer the demo version issued on "Rock It Boy". Add a bit of rockabilly ("Honey Child" and "Mean Mean Woman") and if you still wonder why are the Frantic Flinstones so great, just ask yourself who could better than them sing a song about a psycho killer like a sixties pop ballad?

When asked who was his favorite musician, Brian Setzer once answered 'Freddy Frogs'. This lp, first released in 1982 by Off the Wall records, then licensed to Nervous records in 1984, gathered the sides recorded by Frogs (real name Ferdinando Toscano) with his two bands: the BMT's and No Frill. The BMT's featured Tommy Byrnes, who briefly joined the Stray Cats in 1984 as the second guitarist.
The lp opens with Cheap Thrills, a classic Rock'n'Roll in the style of Bill Haley with sax and appropriate backing vocals and handclaps. The program of Boppin and Jivin' lays in its title. It bops, it jives, and it features fine doo-wop backing vocals too. The next track, Roxy, is an excellent soft Rockabilly. It's followed by a slow in the best tradition of the Fifties. Freddy Frogs delivers a superb vocal performance, perfectly backed by the band. Livin In The Dark is a good rocking song. Maybe not the most original but quite effective. She's So Mean is a superb Rockabilly with a blasting saxophone solo. Crazy Little Mama, a cover of El Dorados & Magnificents, is a fantastic doo-wop with a solid dose of Rock'n'Roll in it.
The B-side opens with the logical choice of Clarence Frogman Henry's Ain't Got No Home. Don't Make Me Wait has echoes of Buddy Holly while Do the Bop is in Danny and the Juniors' style.
You must be one hell of a singer to sing Pledging My Love and compete with Johnny Ace and Elvis Presley. Frogs totally makes this song his own, and his version has nothing to envy to anyone. Feelin' No Pain is more modern, showing some New-Wave influences, especially in the bass line. Back to boppin' Rockabilly with I Don't Care Anymore. No Frills that concludes the album is an instrumental track that answers the LP's first song, showcasing the piano and the saxophone.
A genuinely great Rock'n'Roll album.

Little Pig – You Crazy Gal You – Let's Bop
Buzz and the Flyers were one of the leading bands of the Rockabilly revival of the late seventies. Like the Rockats and Robert Gordon, they helped to pave the way for the Stray Cats' international success.
This EP features the group's early line-up with the fantastic Dig Wayne on vocals, Michael Gene on guitar, Pete Morgan on bass, and Rock Roll (if you have to choose a nickname to play this music, you might as well pick this one) on drums.
Syl Sylvain, of the New York Dolls, produced it and released it on his own Sing Sing label. It's interesting to see that at the same time, Jerry Nolan, drummer of the New York Dolls, played with the Rockats.
The A-side is a cover of Dale Hawkins' Little Pig. Its bare-bone and sparse sound captures the Rockabilly spirit like very few managed to do since the fifties.
Even better is You Crazy Gal You. This one has a strong Charlie Feathers feel without sounding like a carbon copy. Listening to this today, you realize that the fantastic Michael Gene is one of the Rockabilly scene's unsung heroes. His style incorporates the best of Cliff Gallup and Scotty Moore to mix it with more moderns elements.
This essential EP end with a frantic cover of Jack Earl's Let's Bop.
Kevin Fayte and Rocket 8 – Ridin' In A Rocket
Nervous Records NERD 024 [1985]
Bluest Of Blue – County Jail – Money Talks – Blame It On The Moon – Hey, Baby – Gal O' Mine – Rock Candy – So What – Oh, My Little Claudie – Ridin' In A Rocket – Baby, I Know – I'm A Rebel – Big Ol' Sun – You Can't Come Out Tonight – I Don't Know – Teacher, Teacher – Get Off My Train – Movin' To Memphis – Bop, Man, Bop – Gonna Rock
Kevin Fayte and Rocket 8 were a traditional Rockabilly trio consisting of Kevin Fayte on vocals and guitar, Buster Fayte on vocals and bass, and Joe Snare on drums. They seem to be forgotten today, which is rather unfair. Maybe they came too early. When most of the bands were trying to follow the Stray Cats paths, Kevin Fayte and Rocket 8 choose to remain faithful to the Rockabilly of the origins.
The band formed in 1983 and disbanded around 1986. In between, the trio managed to release this album consisting of twenty original songs, penned by the band members, but their producer, Gary Rebholz, also contributed to the songwriting. One could fear that twenty tracks are a tad too much for a rockabilly album, but the songs are short, and since both Kevin and Buster share the lead vocals, they manage to keep variety all along the lp. Most of all, they really knew how to write songs, focusing on the melodic aspect.
This excellent album deserves to be rediscovered today.
Sharks (the)
The Sharks – Phantom Rockers
Moonstomp – Skeleton Rock – It's All Over Now – Crazy Maybe – Take A Razor To Your Head – Death Row -Love Bites – Short Shark Shock – Ruff Stuff – Phantom Rockers – Charlie! – Slipped Disc – I Can't Stop – Electrifyin' – Ghost Train* – We Say Yeah* (* cd only)
There's a thin line between Neo-Rockabilly and Psychobilly. "Phantom Rockers" the Sharks' debut album falls exactly somewhere between those two categories.
Their sound is closer to Restless than the wildness of the Meteors or the garage sound of the Ricochets. But the comparison ends here. While Rockabilly bands are happy to sing about girls and boppin' all night, the Sharks embrace the Psychobilly idiom with a delectable pleasure. Their songs are about vampires, skeletons, ghosts (trains and rockers), and Charlie, a schoolboy who cuts the head of his classmates and family with a chainsaw.
The music is punchy and aggressive yet melodic and clean. Both Wilson and Whitehouse, who share the vocal duties, show a solid mastering of their instruments and a knack for writing songs that stay in your head.
In the end, it doesn't matter if you call it Psychobilly or Rockabilly or whatever, you must own this album, that's all you need to know.
The Sharks – First and Last Live
Nervous /Crazy Love [1988 – reissue 2002]
Rock The Joint ~ Pink & Black ~ Tired 'n' Sleepy ~ Teenage Boogie ~ Tear It Up ~ Wildcat Rock ~ Sugar Doll ~ We Say Yeah ~ Deathrow ~ Moonstomp ~ Ghost Train ~ Crazy Maybe ~ Buddy Can You Spare A Dime ~ It's All Over Now ~ Phantom Rockers ~ Chainsaw Charlie ~ I Can't Stop.
This album captures two shows. The first one has been recorded by the trio at the beginning of their career and the second is the last they played just before they split in 1983, hence the title. It's mostly made for fans and it's surely not the best album to discover this great and highly influential band. But it remains very interesting. You can hear a band of teenagers evolving from a good rockabilly cover band (the first show: well played but nothing too exceptional) into a tight psychobilly unit, this time with self penned material and a sound truly of their own.
The Sharks – Live In Japan
Crazy Love CLCD 64143
Deathrow – Bye Bye Girl – Cold Heart – Crazy Maybe – Dealer – Schitzoid Man – Love Bites – Morphine Daze – Side Show Freak – Between Two Worlds – Moonstomp – Surf Caster – Phantom Rockers – Charlie – Time Bomb – Ghost Train – Skeleton Rock.
The psychobilly scene counts very few solid live recordings. The reason can be found in the fact that the majority has been released in the mediocre Live'n'Rockin' serie on Link records. But one can find some exception like The Meteors Live I, The Quakes' Live In Tokyo, Long Tall Texans' Five beans In The Wheel (though it's half fake), Live'n'Undead by the Nekromantix and on top of the list : "Live In Japan" by the Sharks.
This live recording has been captured on tape in September 1998 in Nagoya and Tokyo, during a successful tour of Japan with the pair Wilson and Whitehouse (both on top form) and Carl Parry (guitar player for Frenzy at the time) on drums who replaces Hodge the original drummer. The set spans the entire career of the band with "Phantom Rockers" taking the lion's share. The trio gives a breath of fresh air – and even surpasses the studio recordings – to their classics like Love Bites, Charlie, Moonstomp and breathtaking versions of Skeleton Rock and Ghost Train. The songs from "Colour My Flesh" and "Recreationnal Killer" are well represented too here and the live gives a grittier sound than the well produced studio versions.
There's a spirit of sheer joy (even with songs about vampires, psycho killer, electric chairs…) all along this hour plus of tight musicianship (remember we're talking about Alan Wilson and Steve Whitehouse) that is highly communicative. In the end it's more than a great psychobilly album, it's a great rock'n'roll album (that deals with kids with chainsaw, girls from Transylvannia and so on, okay I know).
The Sharks – Songs from the Sarcophagus
Western Star [2011]
She's Fallen In Love With A Monster Man – Draculas Daughter – Jack The Ripper – Monster In Black Tights
We've waited for years for it. Here it is, at last, a brand new release from those neo-rockabilly/psychobilly masters.
This 4 songs vinyl ep is a tribute to the late Screaming Lord Sutch and who was more designed to do it than the Sharks and Joe Meek specialist Alan Wilson? They manage to give their own rendition of these classics while staying true to Meek and Sutch versions.
A total, definite and absolute must have.
The Sharks – Infamy
Western Star WSRC 057 {2012}
House of Wax – A Tornado Called Smith – Holloway Road – The King Of London – First Men On the Moon – Control – Ship To Shore – Hell Riders – I Can't Believe You're Back – Breakin' Bones – Luck O' The Irish – Desert Diamond – She's Fallen In Love With The Monster Man
The Sharks are back! After a 15 year hiatus Alan Wilson (guitar, vocals), Steve Whitehouse (super sonic slap bass, vocals) and Hodge finally got together again to record a new album. I must say that I was a little apprehensive when I put the cd in the player. Could the band match my high expectations, after all they had released some of the best neo/psychobilly album made in the 80's (Phantom Rockers) and the 90's (Recreationnal Killer and Color My Flesh). Recently released material on compilation albums and an ep showed they were still in good shape, but could they make it on long distance? It took just one song to see all my doubts vanish. Not only the Sharks were good but they sounded better than ever, benefiting of 30 years of experience in term of producing, playing and writing songs. Most of all they managed to keep what make their identity and reinvent themselves in the same time. You don't have a band of fifty year old men (or so) who run after their youth, trying to sound like they did in thirty years ago. They don't come back by pure nostalgia but because they have solid songs to defend (mostly penned by Wilson with the exception of the First Men On the Moon co-written with Whitehouse and Lord Sutch's She's Fallen In Love With the Monster Man). Of course there are hot psychobilly numbers like House Of Wax (perfect opener with superb vocals from Whitehouse), A Tornado Called Smith (listen to this guitar solo, it kills!), Men On the Moon and Breakin Bones (already a classic alternating slow and fast parts). Next to this psychobilly gems you'll find an instrumental mixing Surf guitar with Mariachi music (Hell Riders), 60's country music with a Bakersfield feel (Desert Diamond), and a great tribute to Joe Meek in the form of a pop song (Holloway Road) featuring female backing vocals and Merv Pepler (Frenzy) playing some strange noises that would have pleased the producer of Telstar. Other real life character also have their own song like the notorious bare knuckle boxer Pretty Boy Shaw (The King Of london with plunking piano) and Ronald Biggs. That's what I call a casting! More surprising is Luck'o the Irish sung by Doyley (Klingonz) with accordion and penny whistle for a full Pogues ambiance.
It was worth a wait of 15 years..
Comes in a nice digipack with lyrics included.
Sharks (the) – Space Race
Western Star Recording Company – WSRC EP006 [2014]
Mercury Mission – Cosmonaut – Rockabilly Moonquake – First Men On The Moon (Queen Victoria Mix)
The Sharks recorded and released this space-themed 10″ mini-album in 2014.
Sung by Whitehouse, Mercury Mission is the most Psychobilly sounding of all four tracks. Knowing Wilson's admiration for the work of Joe Meek, it's no surprise to find a Telstar vibe in the following instrumental titled Cosmonaut.
On the b-side, there's an excellent neo-rockabilly tune that you could easily imagine sung by the Polecats, whereas the Queen Victoria Mix of First Men On The Moon doesn't add much to an already great song.
It's a limited white vinyl edition.
The Sharks
Happy Drivers
According to the legend, the band formed in June 1985 after a Jack Scott show. Initially a quartet, with Arnold
Darrel Higham
Darrel Higham – Mobile Corrosion
Like A Brand New Man – If You Can Live With It – Long Lonely Road – Deep In The Heart Of Texas – I Like Me Just Fine – Second Hand Information – In My Heart – No One Will Grieve – Revenue Man – Country Lila Rhue – You Were Right, I Was Rong – I've Been Gone A Long Time – Don't Bug Me Baby – Amanda's Song – Travis Pickin' – Life Goes On – Rockin' Band Blues
Recorded in 1995 for Nervous Records with Rusti Steel (lap steel), Les Curtis (drums), Mick Wigfall (bass), and Dave Brown (piano), Mobile Corrosion is one of Higham's most country-tinged albums.
Like A Brand New Man is a perfect opener, sounding like a cross between Johnny Horton's Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor and Berry's Promised Land. If You Can Live Without It is a country ballad yet muscled up by the slap bass and features nice guitar picking.
Long Lonely Road is a Rock'n'roll tune on which Darrel's Cochran inspired vocal makes wonder. Geraint Watkins' Deep In the Heart Of Texas is an excellent country drive with a powerful drive. The following track, I Like Me Just Fine, is way heavier, with mean guitar and powerful vocal. Back to traditional Rockabilly, with a hillbilly touch, with Gentleman Jim's Second Hand Information. Every good Rock'n'Roll album should feature a slow number. Good news, you have two on this album, In My Heart and Amanda's Song, and one more time, Higham's voice, not far from Cochran on Lonely Street here, is perfect.
No One Will Grieve is a modern Rocker with a solid bass part. Revenue Man is a cover of George Jones tune, Country Lila Rhue is more on the hillbilly bop vein, while You Were Right, I Was Wrong is a Rockabilly ballad.
I've Been Gone Too Long is a mean Country-rock, and you could easily imagine Sonny George singing it. Though Milton Allen did the original of Don't Bug Me Baby in 1957, Higham's version comes from the cover made by Shakin Stevens in 1981. It's instrumental time with Travis Pickin'. No surprise, all is in the title. Life Goes On shows the influence of Gene Vincent, which means brushed snare drums and plenty of jazz influences in the guitar. Rockin' Band Blues is a Cochran pastiche. Nothing really original but a good song nonetheless.
Darrel Higham & the Barnshakers – Pretty Little Devil
Goofin Records GOOFY 570 [1997]
Sweethearts Or Strangers – Don't Be Gone Long – Pretty Little Devil – Flattin' & Thumbin'
Darrel Higham recorded this ep in 1997 with the ever-excellent Barnshakers from Finland. That was not the first collabration between the British guitar picker and the Finnish Rockabilly band. Both recorded a full album together in 1993. Sometimes when two talented artists or bands join forces, the result doesn't keep up with the expectations (I have a few example that I'll keep for myself.) That was not the case here, this four-track ep is excellent.
Side one kicks off with a cover of the old classic "Sweethearts or Strangers". Higham's vocals and guitar give it a strong Eddie Cochran feel, and Lester Peabody's steel guitar nicely enhances it. Next is a cover of Bod Doss' "Don't Be Long Gone." Like the original, it's jet-propelled by a solid slap bass intro.
Vesa Haaja, the singer of the Barnshakers, joins forces to sing harmonies for the Everly sounding Pretty Little Devil, recorded initially by Bob Denton and Eddie Cochran.
The last track is a guitar duet between Higham and Peabody/Jussi Huhtakangas. Well, the title says it all. It's a gentle battle between these two great pickers. One can only regret that Deke Dickerson wasn't there at the time of the recording.
There are still a few copies left on Goofin Records.
