Super catchy chorus that will have your head boppin' in no time, plus a sing along on the B side, in case you feel so inclined. There's little info on these guys, other than being from Ontario, Canada. Credits on the record go to Bickerton and Waddington. My copy is sleeveless, as most appear to be. I borrowed this picture of the sleeve from Discogs, so you can see what it looks like. As always, if any of you have info to share, it's most appreciated.

Apologies for another long hiatus. I seriously considered shutting down this time. I just don't have the time anymore and storage costs me money every month. Guess we'll see how it goes... Hope all of you had a nice holiday and are having a happy new year! Here's another record that my Google search, yielded little information on. The names on the record are: Andy Da Silva and Brenda Theresa. I'm guessing Brandy comes from combining their first names? Musically, Treating me bad has a British Invasion influence and is definitely the star of the show. It <br />appears they were Canadian but I'm not sure? Any of you know anything; please share the wealth!!<br /> I tried a couple new things. For one, I included Wave and MP3 formats in the download. I know it's a bigger file and a slower download but I think the quality is worth it. If it's too slow, I guess I can ditch the Wave files. Let me know if you think it's worth it? Secondly, I finally figured out how to post a picture with a transparent background, It's the little things....lol.<br /><br /><b>East - West Records 1980</b><br /><br />1. Treating Me Bad<br />2.

Besides this EP, they released a full length titled, " Diamonds" in 1981. Not sure if this is true but I stumbled on a ebay listing that claimed...Some tracks were recorded in upstate NY, while on their way back from a tour. The producer took these four and pressed 100 copies, of which 25 were circulated without the bands knowledge. At any rate, someone believed story, they paid $588.00..

The band originated as a Beatles cover band, heavily influenced by the British Invasion. Upon moving, original guitarist Alan Huff was replaced by Jack Vetter in 1978. One single, “Holes in the Ceiling b/w Going Back” was released in 1979. 500 copies were pressed, they were sold at shows. Apple disbanded in 1979.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><a href="https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D1536318_09534057_7420194">♫♫►►Now It's Started To Rain◄◄♫♫</a></b></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjeYNSp-ZLJ3rqtR0pJjlrAtPI7sE_UtXuW3JlSgdjjIAc6Rnmg9UhLF-OfZ9Ej2Sg-xnCVlYlllzhBboMU3l6roMgW03Ml7bQ5_efGXCutYmnVLFud4CPptiWhKMJfgg6mzeAisHXIXGng7dcMaZmQfZXm9y8ycoYN9SokMpzWHKhkOeB7C5-nFb_Uw/s440/Apple.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="309" data-original-width="440" height="141" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjeYNSp-ZLJ3rqtR0pJjlrAtPI7sE_UtXuW3JlSgdjjIAc6Rnmg9UhLF-OfZ9Ej2Sg-xnCVlYlllzhBboMU3l6roMgW03Ml7bQ5_efGXCutYmnVLFud4CPptiWhKMJfgg6mzeAisHXIXGng7dcMaZmQfZXm9y8ycoYN9SokMpzWHKhkOeB7C5-nFb_Uw/w200-h141/Apple.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><b>Line Up –</b></div><div><br /><b>Scott Wittenburg</b> – Bass, Vocals <br /><b>Jack Vetter </b>– Guitar, Vocals <br /><b>Jeff Porter</b> - Drums <br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuJIPuugCJQHQiHDdCCA2wSGrg6olFn41ZbsHHxLYhf5BnRU-ZY4thQFSuWUC3FcJA0rNJYSVftSV8F6J6L8sb7gv0hM1KbaJWwM4o_c7n49QWQnffkdnEuSnXlt885VFD5zuEzDpzwFX362pOyo8hDnYtVeMVADyqi02KhxtsnaR-lP7Goe419EX5Og/s600/cover.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="581" data-original-width="600" height="194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuJIPuugCJQHQiHDdCCA2wSGrg6olFn41ZbsHHxLYhf5BnRU-ZY4thQFSuWUC3FcJA0rNJYSVftSV8F6J6L8sb7gv0hM1KbaJWwM4o_c7n49QWQnffkdnEuSnXlt885VFD5zuEzDpzwFX362pOyo8hDnYtVeMVADyqi02KhxtsnaR-lP7Goe419EX5Og/w200-h194/cover.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div> Scott’s next venture was a three piece, also from Portsmouth called <b>The Retros</b>.

I lifted most of this info from the record sleeve itself. They originally wanted to call the band, The Yorkshire Rippers but ultimately decided against it. There were 1000 pressed, with only a small number having sleeves. The record seemed to have been met with some public outrage; over the band making money off the misery of the victims and their families. I couldn't find anything on the flip, Mary & Ken. Three of the members, ( Harding, Dale and Hanson) ended up in a Electronic, Synth band called Famous Rays. They put out a full length in 1990, titled "Ending Beginning.<p></p><b>Line Up</b><br /><br /><b>Phil Harding</b> - Bass, Vocals<div><b>Dave Dale</b> - Guitar, Vocals</div><div><b>Mick Hanson</b> - Guitar, Vocals</div><div><b>Chris Brown</b> - Drums</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Rott, ( Right Over The Top) Records 1981</b></div><div><br /></div><div>1.

The On The Beach Single is a classic, and Definitely a favorite of mine. I never got to see the Rattlers live, but I've been told in their early days as a three piece they did these songs much harder, and faster than the recorded versions. They played a show with 999 around 1980, at a place called The Castle Inn, which was a club in my home town of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Phillipsburg</span> NJ. The club has since been renovated, and now serves as The Unemployment office. Anyway, I'm sure you all know the leader of the Rattlers was Mickey Leigh, Joey <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Ramones</span> younger brother. I think it must have been difficult, being in the shadow of The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Ramones</span>, but The Rattlers managed to carve out a nice niche for themselves, and were a great band in their own right. The Rattlers formed in NYC, around 1979. Before parting ways in 1988, they left us with Two Singles, and an LP titled Rattled. I included both of their singles in this post as well as I won't be your victim, from the LP. In my opinion, their best songs. </div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>Ratso Records 1979</b></div><div><br /></div><div>1. On The Beach</div><div>2. Livin' Alone</div><div><br /></div>

Although I've never heard it, I read the 1st record has more of a 60's flare. <br /> Sometime in the mid 2000's; the band surfaced again as a three piece, minus Scott Murray, under The Boolevards. They released a couple of full lengths; with a 60's pop edge.<br /> One of the more enjoyable aspects of doing this blog is learning things I didn't know about bands. The full lengths titled, " Real Pop & More Real Pop" sound really good. I'm definitely planning on grabbing them up.

Best I can surmise; <b>The Toes </b>were a Hartford, Connecticut, three piece. I found a comp called, " Homespun WHCN - 106 FM"; that features Heads. The band's pictured on the back as a three piece. I'm guessing this was they're only record and it appears self released. Gil Francis Yaskovic gets writing credits for both tunes.<div> Under normal light, the record appears black but if you hold it up to the light; it's a dark, translucent, purple. </div><div> If anyone has anything to add or correct, please let me know. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>No-Zone Recordings 1979</b><p></p></div><div>1.
