Great selection, M&M. Thanks for opening my ears to new old music every day. I'm glad to know you both.
Hey there, It's been a long time, Will we see any new Comps in the future? Hope so!
It has. I've been busy (lazy). You'll see a new comp soon. As soon as tomorrow ! Thanks for the encouragement !
Hi
This comp looks great!
Unfortunately, the links seems to be dead.
Would it be possible to re-upload it to depositfiles.com please?
Many thanks.

Hey!

Not really my last name, ha ha ha!
BEST STUFF EVER released in Canada:1)the f* insuperable psych punk "tears in my eyes" by ONE WAY STREET 2)the f* unique psychedelic ballad "souvenir" and 3)the f* classic fuzzed out punk "nice try", both by FRANCOIS GUY & LES SINNERS!!!!!!!!!!Also to mention (among others), the f* awesome punk "get away from it all" by NORTHWEST COMPANY,the all time f* classic insro "the beginning" by THE COLLECTORS and the fuzz punk anthem "a someday fool" by MG & ESCORTS, with GRAHAM POWERS on the f* ripping vocals.Now,about BIG TOWN BOYS i have to say it s an average comp.I expected to hear a lot better than this.The truth is that i dont know many f* bands from Toronto,however i would like on that list "mama" instead of "believe me","executive dream" instead of "token for my mind" and "girl" in place of "wish i could see you again"!!!!!
Hah! Amazing how stuff ripples out across time. I used to date/live with the daughter of one of the guys from The Big Town Boys....back in the eighties, in art school. Met her a couple of years back on a city bus; I was grumpy. Should've asked how her dad was doing. He was still playing, last I saw him...had a nice Gibson SG. I think he was a sheet metal worker. I'm still in Toronto. It's still a big town.
