New Year, new problems…
I was listening to some Bloodrock the other evening, when my stereo receiver exploded and started belching acrid smoke like a freshly soldered joint, suspending my vinyl postings for a fortnight (Thanks a lot Bloodrock! This is why we can’t have nice things!).
Regardless of my untimely misfortune, I was able to procure a sidetrack (When is the last time you saw and 8-track receiver in action?) until my mainline comes along (I'm gunnin' for a Fisher 400). Here is where we’re at:
I have been kinda slackin on the requests lately, so I’m gonna take this month to give back to a community that has ever supported my endeavors (when not lambasting my politics, or and threatening my life, that is).
I had previously posted some tracks by New Jersey natives and MST3K favorites the Del-Aires (of 'Horror of Party Beach' fame) figuring I’d get around to filling out their catalogue eventually. Several request later and I’m about to make good on my promise.
(Note: For the whole shebang, dig my previous Del-Aires post)
This first disc, while technically not a Del-Aires release, is the earliest incarnation of the group that would one day take Stanford Connecticut by storm. Cut in 58’ on B-Atlas, this instro featuring a then 16 year old Ronnie Linares and John Becker is a figment of a phantom, and as such, took forever to find. It is what it is, but what it is primitive and awesome.
Several years and a name change later and the boys (now christened the Dynamic Del-Aires) managed to woo several local higschool bandmates (Including organ/sax blaster Robert Osborne) with promises of steady gigs and a record contract with Paterson New Jersey’s own Block Records (Run and operated out of Block Linoleum by the bands manager Archie Block). The result: a cool crawl of an instro dubbed ‘Someplace Else’ backed by a Buddy Holly-esque vocal by the band’s then singer Jimmie Jersey titled ‘So Far, So Long’.More than simple a document of the bands early years, these discs represent the musical maturation of some of the gawkiest garden state natives to ever swing an ax, and boy, can they swing it!

this is more dream-come-true stuff but the Dynamic Del-Aires files seem to have gone Someplace Else, So Far, So Long because they "couldn't be found"...
Got the files Wigglin' and/or Wobblin again Grew. For some reason Divshare has a vendetta against these Zombie Stompers. Crisis averted. Should be good to go now.
it's all good, thanx again!
Someplace Else has gone someplace else again! Darn It!
