Strike A Match And Light Another
We got to the show late,made it to our seats in the dark.The opening act was flooding the War Memorial with music I never heard before. A giant screen behind the stage boiled with lava lamp patterns.I was rushing so hard I couldn't move until they were done.After that Jimi, Mitch,and Noel came out and made that Spanish Castle Magic work on us.After the show I wondered "who are those guys" who opened the show. They were Cat Mother & The All Night Newsboys.May, 1969.I bought the album,and I'm looking at my CD of it right now.Not the travesty offered above, but the 11 track original release,every one is a gem.And I've been listening to "Albion Doo-wah" and "Cat Mother" on a CD I had made from a 30 year old cassette.I would not to hesitate to say that Cat Mother is the best band to come out of the 60's, or say that they are the best Rock & roll band ever.Just take tracks 4& 5- to go from an all out rocker like "How I Spent My Summer" to a rare gem like "Marie" is an indication of their unmatched talent and performance. If The Band had someone who could actually sing they still couldn't touch CM. I urge all you Cat fans to write Gordon Anderson at Collector's Choice Music,5225 Wilshire Blvd. Ste. 721 LA, CA 90036, and tell him to get CM out on CD for all of us lucky enough to know them and the poor deprived souls who don't.It is a shame and a sin that CM is in digital limbo.For the record, here's the tracks on "The Street Giveth...and the Street Taketh Away"-- 1-Good Old Rock 'N' Roll 2-Favors 3-Charlie's Waltz 4-How I Spent My Summer 5-Marie 6-Probably Won't 7-Can You Dance To It? 8-Bramble Bush 9-Bad News 10-Boston Burglar 11- Track In "A"{Nebraska Nights} And I think I'll get "Street" in my safe deposit box to keep Karen Lawrence {1994,Blue By Nature} company.If you don't know her, I wouldn't be telling any tales outa school to claim that she is {one of the}best {female} vocalists to rave on R'n'R and belt out the blues that is around today.Just ask RD, he really does know what's best!!

Gotta be available for less!
Wh en I was sixteen years old I was fortunate enough to have attended the Newport Pop Festival somewhere in the Los Angeles area. This was in, I think 1968,anyway, one of the featured bands was Cat Mother and the all night newsboys. I had never heard of them before this, so I did not really know what to expect. But upon hearing and seeing them live, I was completely taken by them. When their performance was over, they announced that they had just released an album and if we would please buy it. The very next day I went to a record store in Santa Monica and bought the album. I was so impressed with their performance that I just had to get it. And I never once regretted doing so. This album was one of my all time favorites for many "vinyl years". I have been keeping an eye out for it on CD, but this price is just a little too much for me. Hopefully the price will someday drop down to a little more reasonable level. If so I will be one of the first in line to purchase it.
