Clem East -What Are you Trying To Do To Me!




Clem East -What Are you Trying To Do To Me!/ Jupiter -MR PRS -2668 (197? Aus)


What Are You Trying To Do To Me! Is a corking Punk 'N' Roll track which kinda of reminds me of Get Out Of Denver twinned with Jim Carrol. It's full of attitude with squealing NYC-type vocals and a blistering Deniz Tek-like guitar break. The other side, Jupiter, is 6m 30 long! It's starts off quiet and subdued and turns into this near-Stoogean Blow-out. No idea whatsoever who Clem East is/was or who plays on the killer single. it's an Australian release, but apart from that, there's zilch in the way of info on the Web...


Add -on: Those kind folks at Vicious Sloth have provided an insert that came with the single...anyone want to ring the number provided? Ha...

I AM NOW DOING THE SAME THING IN A BAND CALLED '' STONECOLD '' AND ON OCCASIONS CLEM IS OUR GUEST BASS PLAYER. WE ARE STILL GOOD MATES AND I STILL HAVE THAT RECORD CLEM GAVE ME ALL THOSE YEARS AGO. P.S. STRANGE COMPANY DID PLAY THE SONG '' JUPITER ''

Please play Jupiter which is on the flip side of the single.
