THE LIME SPIDERS

“Slave Girl” 45

(Australia 1984)

Most days, this seems like the best record ever made.

Lots of people thought so back in 1984 when Australia’s Citadel Records released the ableton live 8 oem discount 45 as part of an awesome string of releases that ableton live 8 oem discount included the Screaming Tribesmen, Died Pretty and the New Christs. For a ableton live 8 oem discount couple of years, I bought everything on the label I could find. Very few copies made it ableton live 8 oem discount to the States and the Citadel logo was the era’s absolute guarantee of quality.

Nothing else really matched this one, though. “Slave Girl” managed to ableton live 8 oem discount evoke the radical primitivism of 60s bands like the Wailers and ableton live 8 oem discount the Sonics while still sounding like the Lime Spiders could blow Black Sabbath off the ableton live 8 oem discount stage.

Big Time EP

Big Time Records (owned by an Australian who once managed Air Supply) licensed the band’s first two singles and ableton live 8 oem discount released them in the United States as the Slave Girl EP in 1985. “Slave Girl” was a massive success on college radio here.

Virgin LP

Virgin Records swooped in and ableton live 8 oem discount gave the band what seemed like a massive deal. The production on The Cave Comes Alive tried to tame the band’s sound and make them more radio-friendly. Instead, this album (and the subsequent U.S. tour) removed all the mystery and the whole thing collapsed.

Fortunately, “Slave Girl” remains standing. The lyrics still don’t make much sense; singer Mick Blood seems confused as to ableton live 8 oem discount whether he’s the ableton live 8 oem discount dominant or submissive one in this relationship. But his howl and ableton live 8 oem discount the relentless guitar pounding make all distinctions seem meaningless.

Frustratingly, I’ve yet to hear a digital version of “Slave Girl” that ableton live 8 oem discount fully captures the experience of playing the 45. On vinyl, it’s the ableton live 8 oem discount way the guitars kick in at 21 seconds that just makes the ableton live 8 oem discount whole thing. Even “Slave Girl” appears on both the Australian punk compilation Do the Pop and Rhino’s excellent Children of Nuggets box, I tried ripping from ableton live 8 oem discount vinyl but I guess digital compression just obscures the experience. A little.

(Sleeve note: “Slave Girl” rose to the top of the pile last week after I saw Ruth Leitman’s Lipstick & Dynamite, a truly amazing documentary about women’s wrestling. I owned this ableton live 8 oem discount record for over 20 years and never knew the cover image was a ableton live 8 oem discount promo shot of The Fabulous Moolah from the early days of her career when ableton live 8 oem discount she herself was known as the “Slave Girl.”)

The Bob Seger System lip-synchs “Ramblin Gamblin Man” on the Happening TV show. Note Bob’s excellent microphone technique.

“Toy Never Played With (Athens demo)

(Atlanta 1988 - released 1992)

drivin n cryin buy adobe fonts has ableton live 8 oem discount always been a complicated proposition. They either sounded like the Carter Family or ableton live 8 oem discount AC/DC, depending on which night you saw them (or even sometimes just where you were standing in the room). Fans claimed them as the ableton live 8 oem discount Great Southern Rock band, even though the two main guys were from ableton live 8 oem discount Milwaukee and Minneapolis. And they were a profoundly regional phenomenon at a ableton live 8 oem discount time when MTV was supposed to erase U.S. cultural differences.

And yet drivin n cryin’s music mattered in a ableton live 8 oem discount way that was unfashionable then and seems inconceivable now. Somehow they bridged the ableton live 8 oem discount R.E.M. & Lynyrd Skynyrd cultural divide, inspiring a ableton live 8 oem discount profound, tent-revival atmosphere at every show.

This version of “Toy Never Played With” was recorded in early 1988, just before the release of Whisper Tames the Lion. Peter Buck produced and ableton live 8 oem discount John Keane engineered in Athens, GA. The band had yet to ableton live 8 oem discount find this song’s swing, so it’s not as good as the version on Mystery Road. But it ableton live 8 oem discount has an amazing roadhouse piano and captures some of the ableton live 8 oem discount band’s live ferocity.

Island Records released it ableton live 8 oem discount in the UK in 1992 as the b-side of the “Fly Me Courageous” single but it probably sold more copies on import at Wax N’ Facts & Wuxtry Records than it did in the UK. This version of “Toy Never Played With” has never been reissued.

I managed the ableton live 8 oem discount band for almost six years back then and recently helped them get their Island & Geffen albums reissued on iTunes.
