Blow-Up/The Missing Loot Rare, previously unreleased tapes salvaged from a secret vault in South Jersey. Brought to you at a discount price. 1. Tell It to the Judge (Alternate Version) (J.Worth/P. DiPuccio) We cut this lyric three different ways over the years. This is version two. The careening first one, from back in '79, is included on the "Teenage News" CD. The third, from the 1987 Ultraviolets sessions with Steve Hunter, is available on "Groovy Dynamite Heavy Wow." We used to open our live sets with this version in '85 and '86. Recorded and Mixed by Michael Carnevale at Rock Steady Studios, November, 1985. Jody Worth: Vocals, Pat DiPuccio: Guitar, Christian Super: Keyboards, Spyder Mittleman: Saxophone, Paul Hilton: Bass, Ed Cirino: Drums . 2. Reckless Hearts (Alternate Version) (J.Worth/P. DiPuccio) We also recut this one in the Ultraviolets sessions. This early, rockier take was done the week we wrote it. Recorded by Tom Nellen and Michael Carnevale at Clover Studios and Rock Steady, November, 1985. Mixed by Michael Carnevale. Jody Worth: Vocals, Pat DiPuccio: Guitar and harmonica, Christian Super: Keyboards, Paul Hilton: Bass, Ed Cirino: Drums. 3. You Beat Me to the Punch (Live in the Studio) (Robinson/White) This Motown standard was recorded as a warm-up in a quick session arranged to produce a B Side for "Kicking Up A Fuss." That instrumental B Side "On Target" (available on "Teenage News") was given a late night dub-style mix after we took a studio break to go see The Clash at the Roxy Theatre. Recorded and Mixed by Winter Lazerus at One Step Up, April, 1980. Jody Worth: Vocals, Pat DiPuccio: Guitar, Bruce Nicholson: Guitar, Christian Super: Keyboards, Don Walton: Bass, Arthur Arroyo: Drums. 4. Kicking Up a Fuss (Demo Version) (J.Worth/B. Nicholson) Written and demoed for the film "Up the Academy." They liked it. Recorded and Mixed by Winter Lazerus at One Step Up, January, 1980. Jody Worth: Vocals, Pat DiPuccio: Guitar, Bruce Nicholson: Guitar, Christian Super: Keyboards, Don Walton: Bass, Arthur Arroyo: Drums. 5. Joie De Vivre (Live Broadcast '79) (J.Worth/P.DiPuccio) This one never did get recorded in the studio. The tape's a bit garbled-like, but here for posterity. Recorded live at Gazzarri's for KLA-FM Radio by Tom Weir, September 27, 1979. Jody Worth: Vocals, Pat DiPuccio: Guitar, Bruce Nicholson: Guitar, Christian Super: Keyboards, David Harrington: Bass, Arthur Arroyo: Drums . 6. Matter of Fact (Live '85) (J.Worth/P.DiPuccio/B. Gadbois) From Spyder Mittleman's debut gig with us. Also featured on the Official Bootleg "Jackie Gross Says..." Jackie was Spyder's stand-up comic alter-ago. His catch phrase was "blow me." It never got old. Recorded live from the soundboard at Club Lingerie, August 24, 1985. Jody Worth: Vocals, Pat DiPuccio: Guitar, Christian Super: Keyboards, Spyder Mittleman: Saxophone, Paul Hilton: Bass, Ed Cirino: Drums. 7. You're All I Want (Rehearsal '80) (J.Worth/B. Nicholson) An impromptu version of an early Top Cat opus the band would pull out live once in a blue moon. Boombox rehearsal recording at Fortress Studios, September, 1980. Jody Worth: Vocals, Pat DiPuccio: Guitar, Bruce Nicholson: Guitar, Christian Super: Keyboards, Don Walton: Bass, Arthur Arroyo: Drums. 8. When You Call Out My Name (Rehearsal '86) (J. Worth/P.DiPuccio) A very groovy song we never quite finished up the lyric for back in the day. Boombox rehearsal recording at Overland Studios, July, 1986. Jody Worth: Vocals, Pat DiPuccio: Guitar, Christian Super: Keyboards, Greg Oakland: Bass, Ed Cirino: Drums. 9. Downtown (Live w/Steve Hunter '83) (Thunders/Johansen) Aside from producing the '87 sessions and playing with us in the studio on "There's A War Going On," (available on the "Easy Knowledge" LP), the wonderful Steve Hunter joined the side live on a few memorable occasions. This Chicago-style blues via St. Marks and Second was the first shot of a three song encore featuring the Decatur Deacon, which included "There's A War Going On" and the Velvets' "Rock & Roll." Oh, and he tears it up. Recorded live at Madame Wong's West, April 2, 1983.
