The Bomp article ...Robin, thanks.for your interest. The Bomp article was classic... As far as the Stars go, we had mainly tapes, the Merriweather tape that got us the Arista deal and the original Hollywood Stars lineup doing songs that were never even finished or mixed..those songs were writen by Mark Anthony,Kim Fowley,Mars Bonfire, Ruben Defuentes,Scott Phares and myself so its a cool combination of thought and direction. I assume Columbia still owns the rights to those songs. the Merriweather tapes would be somthing though...he really captured the double drum thing Bobby and I were doing better than anyone.<br /><br />TerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26721642.post-59291612967623186412012-07-18T23:09:16.853+01:002012-07-18T23:09:16.853+01:00wow...that Kim Fowley piece in Bomp really got me ...wow...that Kim Fowley piece in Bomp really got me fascinated at the time. I would love to hear the songs. BTW, when I was in LA last year I bought a poster of The Stars at the Whiskey a Go Go. It had a picture of the Runaways (as a 3 piece) on it as well. I think it was your farewell show. Did you ever get any acetates done of that stuff?Robin Willshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00668576789847507897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26721642.post-29967737178842125212012-07-18T23:01:32.652+01:002012-07-18T23:01:32.652+01:00Yes, Ruben & mike just got back the masters of...Yes, Ruben & mike just got back the masters of the Niel Merriweather demo tapes....very cool. The oldest tapes are from the Record Plant..for Columbia..those were never finished completely . Escape and King of the night time world are off those old sessions. I noticed people are posting them on U-tube. Probably Kim Fowley....i like to hear "Shine Like A Radio" again myself.<br /><br /><br />TerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26721642.post-46748072371288994552012-07-18T22:47:18.651+01:002012-07-18T22:47:18.651+01:00Oh Terry...You haven't got tapes of the unrele...Oh Terry...You haven't got tapes of the unreleased Holloywood Stars recordings by any change?
