Dear friends, Nearly 22 years ago, I was deep in the At least once a year I end up having to Mexican desert with my partner in crime write two editorials. This is usually, as in Graham Inglis.

  • Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press 2014
    Jan 14 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) gathered in New York to celebrate the Great Detective's 160th birthday during the long weekend from Jan. 15 to Jan. 19. The festivities began with the traditional ASH Wednesday dinner sponsored by The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes at O'Casey's and continued with the Christopher Morley Walk led by Jim Cox and Dore Nash on Thursday morning, followed by the usual lunch at McSorley's. The Baker Street Irregulars' Distinguished Speaker at the Midtown Executive Club on Thursday evening was James O'Brien, author of THE SCIENTIFIC SHER- LOCK HOLMES: CRACKING THE CASE WITH SCIENCE & FORENSICS (2013); the title of his talk was "Reassessing Holmes the Scientist", and you will be able to read his paper in the next issue of The Baker Street Journal. The William Gillette Luncheon at Moran's was well attended, as always, and the Friends of Bogie's at Baker Street (Paul Singleton, Sarah Montague, and Andrew Joffe) entertained their audience with a tribute to an aged Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The luncheon also was the occasion for Al Gregory's presentation of the annual Jan Whimsey Award (named in memory of his wife Jan Stauber) honoring the most whimsical piece in The Serpentine Muse last year; the winners (Susan Rice and Mickey Fromkin) received certificates and shared a check for the Canonical sum of $221.17. And Otto Penzler's tradi- tional open house at the Mysterious Bookshop provided the usual opportuni- ties to browse and buy.

  • Atomic Roosteratomic Rooster Are an English Progressive Rock Band, Originally Formed by Members of the Crazy World of Arthur
    Atomic Rooster Atomic Rooster are an English progressive rock band, originally formed by members of The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, organist Vincent Crane and drummer Carl Palmer, in 1969; original lineup of Vincent Crane (organ), Nick Graham (bass), and Carl Palmer (drums). Their debut album, Atomic Rooster, hit number 49 in the U.K. in June 1970, after which Graham and Palmer left the group. Crane maintained the name and recruited guitarist/singer John Du Cann and drummer Paul Hammond for the second album, Death Walks Behind You, which hit number 12 in the U.K., where it featured the number 11 single "Tomorrow Night," and number 90 in the U.S. Pete French of Cactus assisted on the third album, In Hearing Of, which featured the number-four U.K. single "The Devil's Answer" and reached number 18 in England and number 167 in America. Then the group split up again, and again Crane assembled a new Atomic Rooster, this time featuring singer Chris Farlowe, guitarist Steve Bolton, bassist Bill Smith, and drummer Rick Parnell. Made in England reached number 149 in the U.S. in 1972, but the group had split again by 1974. Throughout their history, keyboardist Vincent Crane was the only constant member, and wrote the majority of their material. Their history is defined by two periods: the early-mid-1970s and the early 1980s. The band went through radical style changes, but they are best known for the hard, progressive rock sound of their hit singles, "Tomorrow Night" (UK No. 11) and "The Devil's Answer" (UK No.

Introduction The Ed Sanders Archive is a remarkable record of the legendary poet, writer, editor, publisher, activist, Fugs founder and icon of American counterculture. Beginning with his first poems written while he still lived in Missouri (1955), it encompasses all of Sanders’ expansive life and career. The archive is a unique resource that allows for the exploration into Sanders’ seminal contributions to the Mimeo Revolution and American poetry, as well as his legacy in the American underground and counterculture with his political activism and his music. The archive itself has long been spoken of by scholars as well as fans. Sanders organized the archive over a 10-year period. Due to its size it is housed in multiple buildings and locations at his and his wife Miriam’s home in Woodstock, NY, where they have lived since 1974.

  • Atomic Rooster – Live at Paris Theatre 1970
    Atomic Rooster – Live at Paris Theatre 1970 (28:56, 10″ EP, Sireena/Broken Silence, 2017) Was für ein Trio, welch ein schönes Zeitzeichen! Nach ihrem Weggang von The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown hatten Drummer Carl Palmer (u.a. ELP) und Keyboard- Wizard Vincent Crane gemeinsam mit dem nach dem Debütalbum bereits wieder aussteigenden Bassisten Nick Graham Atomic Rooster gegründet. In der wechselvollen Geschichte dieser britischen Formation stand später sogar zeitweilig der großartige Chris Farlowe (u.a. Colosseum) am Mikrofon. 1970 oblagen die Gesangsparts dem Gitarristen John Du Cann, in dessen Nachlass sich diese ursprünglich für die BBC in Paris entstandenen, roh und direkt wirkenden Mitschnitte fanden. Der Gesangspflichten entledigt sich John ordentlich bis enthusiastisch, sein Gitarrenspiel ist sogar dem seiner megavirtuosen Spielgefährten bisweilen ebenbürtig – besonders auf Track A-1. Denn nach der schnöseligen TheBeep-Ansage – A.R. darf für Taste (mit Rory Gallagher) eröffnen – steigt das Power-Trio mit seiner aktuellen Hitsingle ‚Friday The 13th‘ ein, die vergleichsweise gesanglich, straff und Gitarren-dominiert wirkt. Beim knapp neunminütigen Instrumental ‚Gershatser‘ hingegen liegen die Dinge anders: die klassisch-barock inspiriert wirkende Komposition wird von Cranes flirrendem Hammondspiel eingeleitet, das so rhythmisch stark wie fanfarenhaft heavy sein kann, wie sein alsbald folgendes großes Solo beweist. Wilde Glissandi leiten zum Tutti über, woraufhin uns der knapp zwanzigjährige Palmer zeigt, wo Hammer und Gong hängen – atemberaubend, damals wie heute. Die B-Seite hebt mit dem zunächst sanft einziehenden, alsbald aber heftig und rhythmisch besonders interessant losrockenden ‚Winter‘ an – sieben Minuten fesselnder Seventies-ProgRock britischer Provenienz! Die EP endet mit einem kleinen Mysterium: Laut Ansage handelt es sich eindeutig um ‚Before Tomorrow‘ (Crane) vom Debüt-Album „Atomic Ro-o-oster“ (1970), dem Backcover und Plattenlabel zufolge jedoch um die Du Cann- Co-Komposition ‚Shabaloo‘.
