hahaha I dont know about that last one Ive seen some of the Hawaiian shirts you wear

Black Sea I've been looking around for this Lp. Found it on a site it's been transferred to Cd. However seller is now inactive. Something called Sharktown Sharky Records. Quite a few decent bootlegs on there.
There might be Cd versiond floating around. I'll keep you posted if I come up with anything.

Black Sea thanks for The Rituals Cd. I don't have the two Pixie songs either.  Black Sea this can be your next assignment.

JDman that's exactly right who gives a toss if Dean was in the Barons  or not.  However what is concerning about topics like this is when it's brought forward its like some huge revelation has been made that is really gonna change Deans standing or contributions to the duo. Its an ongoing thing and there appears to be a concerted effort to undermine Dean Torrence. So called fans agreeing with lines like "it could of been Jan and anyone", "Dean couldn't stand being around Jan" and there are numerous other cheap shots. Just like you all I'm interested in are the recordings some of the background to the recordings is of interest but this continual undermining of Deans role is ridiculous and it hurts Jan and Deans legacy alot more than a Ktel album. I know some of the fans find the McParland book as the be all and end all for Jan and Dean but personally I think it falls short but at the moment that's all there really is. These continual cheap shorts on Deans character have become extremely boring and unwarranted.
So all we can do is wait for Marks book and hopefully there will be an extensive section on the origins of Jan, Arnie and Dean.
Just for the record Deans on the Kjan radio show he can be heard clowning around whilst tracking a record.

The McParland book states Dean was in a club called the Galatians. Can't remember where I saw or read the interview but I think Don Altfeld mentioned that Dean was in a club named the Sirs. The vocal band at the high school was named the Barons and Dean was a part of that.  Who knows he may have joined The Barons official club at a later date after joining the vocal group.  Its high school people swap and change all the time depending on what you're into at the time,  sport,  music etc.
I think Don Altfeld was in The Barons yet he's not in the club photo.

He may have been in the Barons.

Thanks for that war and peace entry So you're telling me that Silver Summer was recorded in 78 is this correct, The McParland books can't help you out on that one.
Abba,after hearing Fernando at number 1 for eight weeks in the land of Oz I almost wanted to end it all by riding my skateboard down Kippax Street.
