Je savais pas où poster mon message, donc je les mis ici. Enfin, sa pour demander si quelqu'un avait des informations sur ce groupe et ce disque, je n'ose pas encore mettre une enchère car je ne sais pas si ça vaut vraiment le coût. J'ai cherché sur internet mais j'ai juste trouvé qu'il est sorti en 1966 et qu'il y a eut une réédition dans les années 80.
THE ALARM CLOCKS, Yeah !:
Ils n'avaient sorti qu'un 45 en 66.

ALBUM:
1(A) YEAH! (Norton ED-285) 2000
45:
1(A) No Reason To Complain/Yeah! (Awake No. 107) Aug. 1966
In 1983 Tim Warren unleashed Back From The Grave, Vol. 1 on a moribund world and awoke both a new and an older generation to some of the rawest, crudest sonic assaults from the mid '60s. Amongst his first selection was both sides of a killer garage-punk 45 with superbly snotty Jaggeresque vocals, by this little known group from Ohio. Cover verions by '80s garage bands followed: Yeah by Thee Fourgiven (on the Battle Of The Garages Vol. III comp, 1984) and Italy's Sick Rose (The Exploding Underground comp, 1988); No Reason To Complain by The Lyres (Lyres Lyres LP, 1986) and Mystic Eyes (Our Time To Leave LP, 1988). With further comp appearances of No Reason To Complain on the Acid Dreams Epitaph CD and Acid Dreams - The Complete 3 LP Set, and both tracks also appearing on Garage Kings (Dble LP), this rare 45 became a holy grail for garage collectors.
So who were these guys? A brief synopsis of the comprehensive history unveiled on the Norton release: - Parma, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, in 1964; Bruce Boehm got bitten by the Beatle bug, picked up a guitar and formed The Perceptions with drummer Tim Douglas and bassist Jeff Suveges. In 1965 he left for a steady gig with another Parma group, The Night People. Nearby neighbour Mike Pierce persuaded him to start a group revelling in the wilder sounds of the Stones, Kinks, Who and Animals. With Bill Schwark on drums, the moptop trio called themselves The Alarm Clocks. Once they began to get local gigs Boehm quit The Night People. In spring 1966 they recorded their 45 at a small Cleveland studio, SIR - 200 or so copies of the 45 eventually arrived on their personally chosen label in August 1966. They returned to SIR soon after to record gig-gettin' demos featuring raw'n'savage covers of Louie Louie, Money, It's All Over Now, Bald-Headed Woman, I'm Alright, She's About A Mover, and Route 66. When vocalist Frank Recsik joined in the summer of '67 they became known as The Purple Haze. At the end of the year Boehm quit and was replaced again by Bob Kalamasz (his successor in The Perceptions). Rick Caon (later of The Choir) joined for the last incarnation, as The Looking Glass. Subsequently Schwark and Kalamasz would team up with Bill Constable in the embryonic Damnation Of Adam Blessing.
Norton's fine twelve-track retrospective Yeah! gathers the original 45 and the aforementioned 1966 demos, plus three basement recordings from 1965 by The Perceptions - Wipe Out, I'm A Fool and Tree Stump Theme. The latter was a tribute to local heroes The Tree Stumps whose rendition of the Kinks' All Day And All Of The Night at a local shindig in February 1965 was the inspiration for Boehm, transforming his musical aspirations and setting him on the route that wound up as The Alarm Clocks (oof!).
