I thought about that but the "u"s in both Lou & Underground seem to have more space between the lines.

I think it's funny that was a fake Nazz there when the real one was available and in the area.

Oh no, not him.I just watched that and felt really weird having successfully avoided anything to do with that movie for so long.

Has anyone attempted to compile a two-disc "best of the Complete Matrix Tapes" playlist with the best versions of all the songs that are duplicated on it? This stuff is so great but I'm not sure I need four versions of Heroin.
― van dyke parks generator (anagram), Friday, 12 July 2019 07:04 (five years ago) link
Not to cop out but my chief pleasure in listening to the Matrix Tapes is hearing them do whole shows - the continuity of it is the thing. Otherwise a trackwise upgrade of 1969 Live would probably be a solid start (albeit missing the End Cole Ave stuff).

They were supposed to, but only Doug showed up to meet Emitt at the Taco Bell.

Downliners Sect weren't Swedish, they were a C-Team Brit Blues band that lucked into the All-Night Workers tape while looking for obscure US R&B songs to cover. It later popped up on Rhino's Nuggets II box.
IIRC tho, there was a Swede Garage cover of The Sect's version.

right, i slipped up because as far as i can tell that particular downliners sect 7" only had a swedish release. anyway the "nuggets ii" inclusion explains why it sounded strangely familiar ...

Well, it's a nice to own, that single.

Interestingly Downliners Sect reformed in the wake of punk and recorded a session for John Peel in 1977.
