Subject: RE: Mugwump's Only Album Reissued From: Stilly River Sage Date: 22 Jan 12 - 11:00 PM For something that is apparently that rare, that is a very good price! Snap them up! It occurs to me that I saw a documentary in the last year that visited the very early performances of Cass Elliot. In New York City. If I can sort out where I saw it, I'll add it to this thread. It could have been a reference to a performance going back that far.
Tom discovers these things because he's a tour guide in New York (has focused mostly on Ellis Island, where we met as park rangers). He lives in the Village and has been researching it for years. It finally dawned on him that he should offer tours of Greenwich Village, and of course, that just makes him all the more interested in the ephemera of the music scene way before he got there. He can point out important buildings from the day that are now boarded up, as if nothing important happened there. It's kind of sad, in that context. SRS |

Subject: RE: Mugwump's Only Album Reissued From: Joe Offer Date: 21 Jan 12 - 07:47 PM Now, I don't think the other Mugwumps thread was about the Mamas and the Papas, et al. It was about a magazine. Interestingly, the first subscriber was Mudcatter Bob Clayton (of the Washington DC area). I'd swear I have that Mugwumps album on CD somewhere, but of course I can't find it now. Oh, I'll take it back - the album I have is "The Big 3 featuring Mama Cass Elliot, Tim Rose, and Jim Hendricks." I also have the Collectors Choice Halifax Three album. Both are quite good, by the way. Guess I'll have to complete my pre-Mamas and Papas collection with the Mugwumps. -Joe- |
Subject: Mugwump's Only Album Reissued From: Stilly River Sage Date: 21 Jan 12 - 07:24 PM Collector's Choice Reissues the Mugwumps' Only Album My friend Tom (GVTom here at Mudcat, but he never posts, just reads) tells me this is a big deal. I haven't heard of them. My bad, it sounds interesting. Okay, after I started this thread I noticed that the article is five years old, but I looked up Mugwumps here at Mudcat and they are mentioned in passing in other threads and one named thread has only two posts: Mugwumps online. Amazingly, the 13-year-old link in that thread still works! ;) The Mugwumps are best known as the band immortalized in autobiographical song by the Mamas & the Papas. Many know of them, but few have heard their one 1967 album for Warner Bros. Records. Until now, that is, as Collectors' Choice Music prepares its June 5 reissue of The Mugwumps' self-titled album. The story is here for research, of course, in case this link isn't as durable as the other one. There are links embedded in the article that you may want to check out, so do visit the original page.
