Reviews of tasty and obscure hook-filled rock'n' roll releases (Glam, Heavy Bonehead Crunchers, Powerpop, Pop/psych,Garage, Surf, 60s Girl Group Rock)...Plus any quirky musings that tickle my fancy... I created this blog in order to stimulate interest, share discoveries and encourage people to go out and search for the original vinyl. Hopefully this blog might also encourage labels to actually compile some of this stuff officialy.

Glam Sandwich & Electric Flares
Just came across this compilation on the Web. It looks like it’s vinyl only. As it’s a bootleg, they haven’t included the artists for copyright reasons, can anyone fill in the gaps and confirm some of the artists? I especially would like to know who did Zap N Cat.
Here is a link where there are sound clips for each song. I am in no way recommending its purchase, side 2 is pretty weak, but it’s there…

This might help Robin...
Bubbles - "This Is Where The Hurdie Gurdie Heebie Geebie Greenie Meenie Man Came In" / "Zap 'n' Cat" - Decca F 13583 (10/75)
Silver Pony - "Lonely Ranger" / "The Apple & The Arrow" - EMI International INT 524 (08/76)
Never seen the records but they're from the right era, so I'm pretty sure they'll be what you're looking for. Can't help with the others.
"Zap n Cat" is Bubbles (other side = "This Is Where The Hurdie Gurdie" Decca, 1975),
"Vanessa's...." is Edwina Biglet (other side = "Thing", RCA, 1972),
"The Apple And The Arrow" is Silver Pony (other side = "Lonely Ranger", EMI, 1976), "Will You Stop That" is Ruby Pearl (other side = "Shang-a-lang Song", Magnet, 1974). "Peter Gunn" could be anyone, obviously... what about Thunder Road on Buddah, 1972, maybe?
5) Hot Rod –Willy Zango And The Mechanics –This version has a voice-over –my copy doesn’t…Is this a recent ”improvement”?
I think this version is from the "Three For All" Soundtrack LP from 1975
Thanks Tony...what the hell is the Three For All...Three's company: The Movie????

Heard "Peter Gunn" on the "The Many Moods of Ben Vaughan" program July 28th on WXPN in Philly. He identified the artist as Thunder Road and commented little was known about them. The song is on the album "Instro-Hipsters Volume 2026

Yeah Thunder Road was Tony Atkins (Galahad) probably with Gerry Morris
