@rene292929 @DePlaatVandaag It's called R&B.

In 2021, our fans alerted us to a series of #LegalZoom ads using a track that sounded remarkably similar to our 1969 single, #ByTheSizeofMyShoes, written by the great #LarryWeiss. Click below to learn about the fraud we uncovered...

R.I.P. to our good friend, #SenatorJohnBurton. Few people know John appeared in the classic film, #ThereWillBeBlood in 2007. Fellow Irishman, #DanielDayLewis asked director #PaulThomasAnderson to include Burton in this scene where Daniel Plainview makes a deal with Union Oil.

@LaSalette1846 @TheEXECUTlONER_ Brad was our biggest fan and sung on several tracks we recorded in the late 80's as well as joining us on stage at the Boston Music Awards in 1988.

@the_cats_meowww I remember him saying in the DVD commentary that he pumped his fists really fast so it would look normal speed when they slowed it down. Apparently they didn't slow it down enough. 🤣

@the_cats_meowww @JayJohnston Jay was the most talented cast member on #MrShow. He made every sketch he was in 10 times better. I met him years ago at #DinnerHouseM and he gave me pointers on how to remove LA Parking Enforcement wheel clamps. I later used it to help some tourists on Hollywood Blvd. #YayJay

@druienbird @vinylnavigator We never toured the UK and don't have any records of shows with "Mighty Baby". Did they come the U S.?

@TechWebSound Bruce Arnold's proclamation that the "Congress Alley" hippie scene in Worcester, Mass was officially unhip.

@vurnt22 Legendary bassist Joe Mack (a.k.a. Joe Macho Jr.) who played on Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone", also played on our early material for MGM. The notorious Alan Lorber still refuses to give Mack and @BernardPurdie1 credit on these classic recordings.

@lynn_egy Pretty good, huh?

@iamslaven Very cool.

Orpheus (1968)

One of the most successful bands to come out of Boston's vibrant rock scene in the late '60s was the pop-rock outfit Orpheus. Their debut LP peaked at #119 on the Billboard 200 & includes the hit track, "Can't Find The Time", which climbed to #80 on the Hot 100.

@clinikillz @vinylnavigator Alan Lorber, the notorious publisher of our early recordings for MGM has removed our music (apparently out of spite) after settling a court case for unpaid royalties. Typical.
