You might post the below for me to the discussion.
The two records listed on the site there are at least 3 albums of material recorded in studios perhaps more. The third record Goodbye Cruel World was a selection of songs that would have comprised a third album and was complete with artwork prior to the breakup of the band.
Available on media.
"RMF" the first album recorded at Toxic Shock Studios with fantastic Engineer Jim Forniautus. - Vinyl (about $35 on ebay)
"Twelve Signs of the Swing Zodiac" Recorded by fabulous Wharton Tiers. Vinyl, Casette and CD
"LSD 25" Single - Engineer Jim Forniautus
About 20 compilation tracks including the Shonin Knife Comp, and Alice Cooper Comp. all engineered by Jim Fornuatus
We performed a 35 minute music piece for the Bill Coleman Dance Troupe this was also recorded and the final Performance at the Lincoln Center of Canada was professionally videotaped. This included stunt men covered in blood bags being beaten by baseball bat welding dancers. The band was also on stage.
Someone posted that our records did not capture our live shows and this is true although they were done at the same volume with the same equipment with few overdubs or studio enhancement like double tracking. In some ways I would like to think it was like the Who whose records were great and the songs really got the opportunity to shine, but their live shows were so much better. We always planned on doing a live record at some point but I think that the performances were best captured on video.
There are many live videos of the band performing including some very nice ones by Rick Little (about 10 shows) who had a show on Manhattan Cable TV. There has been some discussion with Rick about him putting some of the video on YouTube at some point in the near future. Most of these shows are also board recorded.
The Hard and Heavy video I believe was pulled from You Tube due to fact that the copyright is held by some big media conglomerate. It was not posted by the owners.
As far as live shows almost all were recorded on Cassette many of high quality and are board recordings. There are about 10 studio level recordings done with more advanced recording equipment at clubs like CBGB's. We did this as we expected at some point to select tracks from different times and shows for a Live album. Most of these have been transferred to digital and sound great. There are many radio station full length live shows including six or seven live shows in the WFMU archives and one at WJUL. These were very high quality.
There are no real plans to put any of this material out at this point but the band owns all the rights to all of the recorded material and there are no contractual issues. I doubt there is any more of our music available on the internet other than what is up on Roy's site.
There are also no plans for us to get together and do a reunion of any type, although we have gotten together and jammed from time to time for our own amusement and the band are all still friends. Abet older and very busy with lives that are filled with things other than music.
We are all still musically active; Andy Malm who plays in bands upstate, Race Age who plays in Jazz Fusion bands in NYC. Roy played bass until last year with Lach in his band the Secrets with Billy Fica. John McDermott plays with Glenn Branca.
I have been in several bands since the Reverbs. Most recently playing with the late Steve Parrino in Electrophilla vs LSD 25. I have had a new CD available at Art Basel each year for the the last three years two are available for free as podcasts on itunes under the name LSD25
