Notes

Cursed by birth, too late for the garage scene and too early for the punk revolution, were the band from Manhattan Beach, California known as Clap. While it would have been easy and cool in the early seventies (which is as close as we can determine for the original LP release date) to turn up the amps and blast out 'Aimless Lady,' 'Iron Man' or some variation thereof, Clap followed a different muse, fully embracing the snot and swagger of Exile-era Glimmer Twins with amateur enthusiasm -- ten originals of chicks, attitude, and chicks with attitudes. On the other side of the continent, Messrs Johansen and Thunders caught a whiff of the same scent but managed to grab the brass ring.

The few that survived over the decades are all in Belgium now, held by bearded men asking for "serious offers only".
