1980 UK 12" single found at a Goodwill in KY, Pope Paul and the Romans
(Jimmy Lydon and Patrick O'Donnell)
Jimmy is Johnny's brother (aka Rotten) and Patrick was one of the Bollock Brothers.
From a thrift store in KY comes this Parma Ohio band, The Alarm Clocks!
Formed in 1965 in Parma, OH, USA, teenagers Mike Pierce (bass and vocals), Bruce Boehm (guitar), and Bill Schwark (drums), the Alarm Clocks got a lot of mileage out of one 45 single, although it would be 40 some years before they would really take advantage of it. The trio recorded two raw slices of garage punk, "Yeah!" and "No Reason to Complain," live in a studio in 1966 and released it on their own Awake label, and a month or so later recorded a live demo tape of their live set at Sound Ideas Recording Studios. Nothing much came of either venture, and the group disbanded in 1967. The single, though, took on a life of its own, gradually filtering through the informal garage band collectors network and becoming a highly sought-after item.
Both sides of the 45 turned up on 1996's Back from the Grave compilation from Crypt Records, and eventually the bandmembers were tracked down. The A and B side of the single plus the complete demo tape and three tracks from Boehm's earlier band the Perceptions made up the album Yeah!, which was released by Norton Records in 2000.
Perhaps sensing unfinished business, the Alarm Clocks re-formed in 2006 with all the original members on board plus a new fourth member, guitarist Tom Fallon. This second coming of the group recorded a new album in two days at Freddy Fortune's basement studio in Michigan in 2006. The album appeared as The Time Has Come later in the year from Norton Records.Speakers: Polk Lsim, ATC SCM19 v2, NHT SuperzeroSpeaker Cables: DH Labs, Transparent, Wireworld, Canare, Monster: Beer budget, Bose ears -

I've been listening non stop since I woke up this morning. I just played the first song on "My selections" and it's still going. Found a couple of new songs/artists yesterday as I was mowing the lawn. Between yesterday and today, I have already put in over 24 hours of listening.
Life is good. I haven't listened this much in years.
