Notes:

THE GENE POOLE COLLECTION VOL. 43

Here's the latest installment of the Gene Poole Collection, a random wellspring of recordings which have recently surfaced. To paraphrase Lou: This is gonna go on for a while, so we should get used to each other, settle back, pull up your cushions, whatever else you have with you that makes life bearable to kick off the new decade...

Some of Gene's handiwork has probably been heard by your very ears before, for the most part via the Stonecutter Archives, but this is the first major unearthing of tapes direct from the legend himself. As promising as that may seem, it's best to let the surprises hit as they are shared. The trade-off to the prolific taping on Gene's part is that the expectations for a perfect track record would be unrealistic and unfair. There will be instances of incomplete recordings, caused by late arrivals to gigs, recorder and mic malfunctions, and other assorted foibles as would befall any mortal taper. There will be times where a master from another source exists which could be superior. For the most part, Gene recorded with a variety and mics and recorders, and many shows suffered from wire dropouts, so that only one channel was extant in the capture. Due warning about the past imperfect given and out of the way, credit should be given where due as well -- for many shows thought lost forever, it's exciting to discover that many of these even in incomplete form have now cropped up.

The transfers, the audio fixes, and the research all have required some lead time -- many tapes had scant info (sometimes just the name of the artist/band, with no date listed for the performance). Needless to say, gear documentation is virtually nil -- if we wait around for that precise detail to be forthcoming, nothing from the collection would probably see the light of day.

Here's a chronological follow-up to the last edition, back to Jones Beach for Ramones, who were the second act on this night of the Escape From New York tour, with Deborah Harry, Tom Tom Club & Jerry Harrison.

C.J. was in the Dee Dee spot and away from the Marines for about ten months at this point. There's a chance a few more songs may have been played beyond this, but Gene had this on the flip of the Deborah Harry set on his master, and no other tape has turned up with more songs to date. As with the Debbie set, since it was on the same cassette, the recording hits one quick moment of chewed tape in "Cretin Hop" -- other than it's a really solid effort from Gene on this one.

Enjoy,
