Probably more today even than I did in the past. btw, it was originally issued in a sleeve with a clear vinyl cover (white backing) and no inner sleeve. iirc, CB wanted it issued, naturally enough, on clear vinyl as well but the record company balked.Brian Olewnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567239067604835372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-81876072450918516552008-02-28T23:07:00.000-05:002008-02-28T23:07:00.000-05:00I'll give you credit for owning up to having bough...I'll give you credit for owning up to having bought <I>Mad Shadows</I>.

I've brought a couple of those tracks to Record Club in recent months, "Nowadays a Woman's Gotta Hit a Man" and "There Ain't No Santa Claus on the Evening Stage". imho, they're great records if a cut or two below my CB favorites. I'd probably prefer them overall to the last two, in fact. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes I think the slickness factor revolves around Fowler's trombone, in instrument that, to my ears, doesn't fit as well into CB's music as well as soprano sax and bass clarinet. There was also, undoubtedly, more a sense of professionalism in the late groups; this may have helped in a rock sense but not necessarily in a Beeefheartian one.Brian Olewnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567239067604835372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-7013563015910343682008-02-28T03:16:00.000-05:002008-02-28T03:16:00.000-05:00"Nosey people want to know what fcbk is "hum... st..."Nosey people want to know what fcbk is "<BR/><BR/>hum... strictly confidential :-)<BR/><BR/>I learned a new word today, several meanings:<BR/>http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nosey<BR/><BR/>thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-50383974259848132982008-02-27T19:52:00.000-05:002008-02-27T19:52:00.000-05:00Unless I missed something, you didn't mention The ...Unless I missed something, you didn't mention The Spotlight Kid and Clear Spot. I think these two, while obviously not in the league of Trout or Decals [or even Doc or Crow, I think], they still provide me with their own kind of enjoyment, especially Clear Spot. It's admittedly more slick, but I think it's pretty damn cool for what it is. How do you all feel about them? The unofficial Bat Chain, is that the one on which the second song actually has some Fender-Rhodes stuff on it? I remember that being cool when I heard it years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-33334422593257916192008-02-27T18:44:00.000-05:002008-02-27T18:44:00.000-05:00Nosey people want to know what fcbk is :)Nosey people want to know what fcbk is :)Richard Pinnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00168522717135806763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-81123611756472531332008-02-27T12:34:00.000-05:002008-02-27T12:34:00.000-05:00I have such a great memory of CB !Records and one ...I have such a great memory of CB !<BR/>Records and one gig in Paris (mid 1970s)<BR/><BR/>And I recommend the box set : "Grow Fins Rarities" on Revenant.<BR/><BR/>thanks for your message on fcbkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-54328676826533455342008-02-27T08:11:00.000-05:002008-02-27T08:11:00.000-05:00Yeah, I have most of that on disc in one form or a...Yeah, I have most of that on disc in one form or another, including the Shiny Beast variations.
