Oh man, a Tonetta approved representative band?!?!?! This is brilliant! It's like when Prince gave us the Time!

OK this record arrived in the mail today, I have now had the appropriate numbers of beers (3) and am putting it on.
Nice silkscreen action, and hand numbering is always a nice touch. 18 songs!
LP also includes a CD of the LP in a color sleeve, plus color insert with amazing photos.
tracklist is two songs more than listed above, adding "A REALLY BIG COCK" and 'RED WHITE MALE".
sound is good, seems like the same recordings.

YOU GOT TOO MUCH is A+ party jam and I think it's clean as well (listening for that because I do a daytime radio show and I really want to play this)

putting the "Get Back" quote into "Toronto Is Starting To Stink" works much better near the end of the LP, sequencing as a whole is really good here.

... and having DEVIL DEVIL come last proves that point
I think this is my favorite record of the year so far.

i really am not down with a 20 buck cd, but i might make an exception.

just buy the LP, only 5 bucks more and you get a 12"x12" color insert and a CD

"red white and blue" is a crucial add to side 2 of this
keep wishing "pump it" or "it's all bullshit" were on it, but beggars can't be choosers etc

I laid this on a good friend and co-DJ with no info, he said it reminded him of some of Kim Fowley's solo stuff ("except more foul-mouthed"). on reflection, that totally makes sense.

Think I'll just hedge my bets and play "Still a Slave."My station doesn't really believe in safe harbor, buncha paranoids.

New old Tonettas on Black Tent's channel are really good. Singer songwritery sometimes with an island vibe.
― bamcquern, Thursday, 22 July 2010 23:11 (2 years ago) Permalink
I love this stuff, but the videos really distract you from how awesome the music is.

True or false: Tonetta LP mastered kind of low.
― bamcquern, Thursday, 29 July 2010 21:25 (2 years ago) Permalink
extremely true and extremely low. i have to have that thing dialed in at like noon
― Bangelo, Thursday, 29 July 2010 21:28 (2 years ago) Permalink
I had friends over and put it on and it was embarrassing.
― bamcquern, Thursday, 29 July 2010 21:38 (2 years ago) Permalink
Might not have been a problem with the mastering tbh
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 29 July 2010 21:39 (2 years ago) Permalink
You mean it could be a problem with the source material or that I'd be embarrassed for another reason. I wasn't really embarrassed, by the way. That was an embellishment.
The CD sounds fine, though.
― bamcquern, Thursday, 29 July 2010 21:43 (2 years ago) Permalink
I just mean that Tonetta is some potentially extremely embarrassing music, jus kiddin around. My friend ordered the lp and I ripped the cd so that is what I've been listening to and I agree that it does sound fine, much better than the youtube rips. Haven't listened to the lp.
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 29 July 2010 22:17 (2 years ago) Permalink
This is truly one of the great "outsider" music discoveries of a long time. Just when you thought there was nothing new under the sun...Album of the year potential, but it might technically be a reissue/comp.
― MFB, Thursday, 29 July 2010 22:39 (2 years ago) Permalink
so wait; there was only 500 pressed and they're still available? Can that be right?
― i'm gonna need a +1 so me & a friend can kick you in the balls (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 29 July 2010 22:44 (2 years ago) Permalink

― i'm gonna need a +1 so me & a friend can kick you in the balls (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 29 July 2010 22:47 (2 years ago) Permalink
I bought one too. It's not in many retail stores, Aquarius just got it and it was expensive. Still, it feels like it should be long gone by now
CD mastering sounds great, songs like 'Drugs Drugs Drugs' are a lot less lo-fi than you'd expect from the youtubes. track sequencing is great, it really sounds like an album, the only complaint I can come up with is that there are too many songs I dearly love that aren't on it
which is kind of the opposite of a complaint but anyone with an mp3 of 'skinheads vs me' feel free to take it to LMJ
