Founder members Jerry Carter and Rich Cliburn were in both bands. <br />everyone seems to remember the chick singer Gayle McCormick (well, she sang the hit stuff), while Carter and Cliburn... not so much. <br />A couple of interesting dudes, cut a heap of garage band 45s under varius names in the mid 60s and Rich worked in the Id which cut an LP for RCA. <br /><br />Speaking of kinda downer, have you heard the Mayo Thompson LP from 1970?... it's a nice wrist slasher, he used to be in the Red Crayola, which still rises its head to make a record every now and then. <br /><br />Not the same band, but related all the same. <br /><br />J.Jason Oddnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132262239331175032.post-17690597558316267402010-03-18T13:51:56.397-04:002010-03-18T13:51:56.397-04:00This is a British band.

The British release, on Decca, is credited to "Fearns Brass Foundry".<br /><br />It's from 1968, as was the original US version by The Smiths (!!!) - not to be confused with Smith, who had a hit a bit later with a cover of the Shirelles' "Baby It's You".Boursinhttp://www.boursin.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132262239331175032.post-43365946444226791802010-02-22T15:26:05.688-05:002010-02-22T15:26:05.688-05:00I have no info for you, but I love this song - tha...I have no info for you, but I love this song - thanks for sharing!<br /><br />You might like Bobb Trimble - try his Iron Curtain Innocence lp. <br /><br />I also find the Mamas & the Papas' "Twelve Thirty(Young Girls are Coming to the Canyon) wildly creepy - and it segues well with that Poppy Family tune :-)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822820465535539404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132262239331175032.post-45569355319932656362009-12-08T07:25:57.815-05:002009-12-08T07:25:57.815-05:00thanks for that info skip!thanks for that info skip!Devil Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962298209910015403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132262239331175032.post-32835640181495103512009-12-07T19:24:56.333-05:002009-12-07T19:24:56.333-05:00NOW I TASTE THE TEARS was a Buzz Clifford song, th...NOW I TASTE THE TEARS was a Buzz Clifford song, that as far as I know, was done earlier by THE SMITH on COLUMBIA; the Fearns Foundry version is great, and the flip LOVE SINK & DROWN has almost a Northern Soul quality to it.

One time, smoke was curling around their ceiling so he and his pal thought our place upstairs was on fire. (It was actually from burnt toast in their toaster.) Our deadbolted door literally came flying off its hinges followed by a giant, cross-eyed black man come to save us... Anyhow:<br /><br />I'm sure you're hip to the 365 Days Project, but I offer a shout-out to it nonetheless since it has done fans of outsider tunes such a great service. I also recommend comps like Wavy Gravy, Sin Alley, Arf Arf, Big Itch, International Vicious Society, Madness Invasion, etc.Chuckie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748133152999387001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132262239331175032.post-29237876501371426392009-07-22T09:35:55.504-04:002009-07-22T09:35:55.504-04:00try the tinklers. they have a couple albums from t...try the tinklers. they have a couple albums from the 80s that sort of sound like a much more primitive version of this (or specifically the beginning)<br /><br />the albums are on experimentaletcpaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05886235235606568538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132262239331175032.post-35093847635584748922009-07-21T16:05:20.848-04:002009-07-21T16:05:20.848-04:00yeah thanks DK but i know all those folks already ...yeah thanks DK but i know all those folks already those key of z comps are cool but cover the mainstrean of outsider... i'm looking for real downer obscure stuff like song poem stuff and private press odd ball junk. and i mean junk in the best possible way...<br /><br />DK whips a donkeys ass!Devil Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962298209910015403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132262239331175032.post-25804019653489957852009-07-21T14:49:58.011-04:002009-07-21T14:49:58.011-04:00The Legendary Stardust Cowboy is another outsider ...The Legendary Stardust Cowboy is another outsider who made some trippy music.

He was a blind, 300lb homeless musician/artist. He sings about stuff like McDonald's and freaking out on the bus, and he made tons of albums - great stuff.dkhttp://dkpresents.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
