No, you're not the only one. When I first got FBN about 4 years ago, I wasn't
nearly as big a Rush fan as I am now, and this tune freaked me out. Ged's
singing was just too weird. But now I am into it. It is a great song to mellow
out to after, let's say, driving about 30-40 mph above the speed limit with
In the End or The Camera Eye cranked up so loud you can feel those eardrums
a-bleedin. However, I must disagree with what you said about it setting them
apart from other bands around '75. In fact, it gives people more of a basis
of comparison between Rush and, of course, Zep, because Zeppelin was also a 
"hard rock" (god, how I hate that term) band that did slow, folkish songs
(I can't remember right offhand which one had the most direct Tolkien 
reference, but I am pretty sure it was off "III"). 

  As for these album bouts, here my .02 ducats: it's bullshit. I don't mean
to flame anyone, but I think each album is better and worse than all the
other ones, and there is hardly an overall quality that can be given to
one that can make it superior. Sure, there are things such as sound quality
(a negative for Signals, let's say), guitar presence, or whatever, but mostly
I listen to whatever album I feel in the Mood for. Sometimes I can't wait to
get back from class and crank up the first album. I don't sit there worrying
about how it was produced or whether it has breakthrough lyrics. I just like it
Other times, I'll listen to HYF over and over again for hours. 
Once again, just my humble opinion...

I don't know about that last part. For example, I know "Bravado" is not
that long, but when I listen to it, it seems to last forever because
it's so repetitive. The same is true of "Ghost of a Chance", and it
nearly ruins the song. Thank God this did not happen to "Dreamline".
      You had the same problem with "Presto", with, IMHO, the main
offenders being "Warpaint" and "Available Light". Fortuantely "The
Pass" and "Superconducter" were spared.
I'm hopeful for their next release. My advice is to Rush is when they
get ready to release their new album and it doesn't take up enough CD
space is simply add an instrumental (these usually turn out well). If
they had done this for Presto, they wouldn't have needed to drag out
"Warpaint" or even put "Scars" on the album.

Yes, I saw them at the short-lived Studio Seven in Orem, Utah, under the name
Special Beat.  They managed to get the crowd hopping (dancing in the back where
there was room) and got called back for three encores.  Best $10 concert I've
ever been to, plus I got to see some good local talent before SB.

I'm still trying to confirm what the ska sound really is...  I'm going
to demo some CDs by the English Beat at my local CD store as soon as
they come in, but in the meantime..

I have a friend at work who has some old Bob Marley stuff.  I've heard
that before Bob did reggae, he did some ska.  Can someone mention some
of the titles of the songs Bob did that are considered ska?

I have currently borrowed an album by Bob entitled "Songs of Freedom",
so if any of those songs are ska, they are of particular interest to
me for the moment.

	'Rough Rider' is an old Prince Buster tune.  I doubt you would be
able to get any lyrics from the song from their record label.  Prince Buster's
record label is "Westmoor".  I don't know any addresses.  As well I haven't
heard Prince Buster's version of the song so I do not know if he toast's the
same lyrics that Roger does.  I doubt that he toast at all because I have 
"Prince Buster Live" and it was really not his style.  He was more of a
crooner than anything else, but I fine musician none the less.

I'll admit to preferring the "Complete/Utter" set over "Divine", but
"Divine" had some interesting differences. The sound seemed somehow
clearer on it and some of the mixes are different. Does anyone have the
low down on this? If "Complete/Utter" used the single mixes what mixes
were used for "divine". (From the packaging I would guess video, but
that sounds silly.)

BTW the '92 live album is "Madstock!", at least on my copy ;-).

Last, but not least...

What's the deal with the RED "The Harder They Come" CD-Single? the other
three tracks are on "Madstock!" but have diffenent timings. What
versions are these praytell. US$10 is too much to spend to find out...

Wow! As a previous poster mentioned. Taang (just off Harvard Square) is
THE place to find ska in Boston. They have a great selection of
interesting stuff on CD as well as LPs. And their prices are reasonable!

Based on my visit there last week I have some questions I'd like to
ask...

1) I picked up the Nutty Boys' "Crunch!" on CD. Have they released
anything else on CD or is that it? (If there's interest, I'll post my
opinions of it here).

2) The UK Specials Singles CD is different than the domestic release.
Why? And is the UK one worthwhile having the US one?

3) I noticed a compilation called "The Sounds of Ska" produced by Roger
Lomas. It had many tracks from the Beat, Specials, Bad Manners, etc...
They seemed to be covers with most of the original singers (substitute
Finny for Terry), but I didn't recognize any of the band. Any opinions
on this one?

4) "The 2Tone Story" was available there, for $12 less than the
neighboring HMV, but $25 is still a bit steep for a CD. Is this one any
good? How does it compare with "This are Two Tone" (which I have) or
"The 2Tone Portfolio" (which I have only heard of).

5) I've noticed "The Specials - Live at the Moonlight Club" on a couple
of visits to Tower/HMV. Is this any good? It seems short (only 10
tracks). What else has been released by 2Tone in the UK recently?
(The copy I saw at Tower was interestingly a Japanese import, not a UK
one).

That's it for now...

Here's some info about Special Beat and their Live CD I found
as a UK import here in Boston.
 
"Special Beat - Live" Receiver Records Ltd. RRCD 168 (1992)
 
(From the back of the CD)
 
Special Beat are:
John "Brad" Bradbury - Drums/Percussion
Lynval Golding       - Guitar/Vocals
Ranking Roger        - Vocals
Neville Staples      - Vocals
Anthony "Finny" Finn - Vocals
Wayne Lothian        - Bass
Sean Flowerdew       - Keyboards
Anthony Harty        - Guitar
Jason Votier         - Trumpet
 
Additional Musicians:
Saxa                 - Tenor Sax
Eli Thompson         - Trumpet
Brian Clark          - Alto Sax
 
Produced by Roger Lomas
Recorded at: Tic Toc, Coventry in July 1992
 
 1. Concrete Jungle
 2. Monkey Man
 3. Tears Of A Clown
 4. Rough Rider
 5. Too Much Too Young
 6. Spar Wid Me
 7. Rat Race
 8. Too Nice To Talk To
 9. Get A Job
10. Nite Klub
11. Gangsters
12. Ranking Full Stop
13. Mirror In The Bathroom
14. Enjoy Yourself
 
Notes: 
 
The line-up (minus "Additional Musicians") look like the band I 
saw at Avalon in Boston Sept. 1992.
 
The set is pretty much what they played that night. As I can recall 
they played two more tracks on top of this: "Save It For Later"
(the Beat's infamous pop-song) and "Rainy Days" (a nice reggae track
which otherwise I cannot place).
 
The line-up on the T-shirts at the gig was slightly different than 
the above: Horace Panter - bass, Graeme Hamilton - trumpet and Chico
Hamilton - saxaphone appearing instead of Lynval, Wayne and Jason.
 
On the "The Beat Goes On" compiltation CD (IRS) Special Beat 
has a track called "Time is Longer Than Rope".

Why didn't you like it?  I suppose if you have all of the albums, etc. it
wouldn't be that great, but I haven't heard most Madness for almost ten
years now!<g>.  I saw a 2CD single set of tuned from the reunion, but I

The Allstonians are VERY worth checking out.  I saw them on New Year's

It was apparently the Allstonians' first show... (I was told they'd played
at a party once before, but that's it.   They were incredible.
They base their sound mainly on the earlier styles of SKA.. late '60s
kind of stuff..  Their Horn section (the Brigh-Tone Horns) were
amazing...  A tenor and an alto sax, a pair of trumpets, and of course
T-Bone.
Yes, they AREworth checking out... they don't have any recorded material
yet,  you'll have to see them live... but they're worth the price of
admission.

	Last I saw, there was vinyl available for both bands from
Dischord.  I think there may also be a CD for Embrace.  As for SOA,
there is a Dischord release that contains four old EP's, I think
Legless Bull by the GI's is one of them, the Teen Idles one is
another, and one of the remaining two is the SOA one.  The whole thing
was like $6.  Oh and there's a few songs, `Disease' and `I Hate the
Kids' and `Stepping Stone Party', on the Dischord FLEX YOUR HEAD comp.

	Also I just picked up a CRAPPY boot of the SOA demo tape, but
it was worth it for the cover-- the old cartoon ad for the
bodybuilding course, you know the one with the skiiny guy getting sand
getting kicked in his face?  Imagine the pumped-up him with Rollins'
tattoos all over his body...
