This is one of the reasons to blog...

I wrote a little bit about a Tidal Waves 45 that I found at a record show about 26 months ago (!), and somebody (Anonymous) just commented to fix my wrong info.

Here is my original post:

The Tidal Waves "She Left Me All Alone" HBR 482Here is a moody downbeat number that I have heard on various comp cdrs. I came across it at The Loyola Record Swap. I believe that they later became The Unrelated Segments.The flip is actually a pretty rockin' take on "Farmer John," not one of my favorite compositions.To counter a recent conversation on garagepunk.com, the Garage Punk Forum CDs did nothing for me other than make me want the original vinyl discs even more than I did before. Reissues generally suck sound wise, esp. if they are on CD. The forum CDs have better sound as they are "mastered" from original discs.But to hear a garage punker in its glory requires the original disc in either good or scratchy shape-- hence more digging for discs!

And the new comment:

Nope! The Tidalwaves actually didnt turn into the Unrelated Segments although they were friends.They were made up of brothers Tom and Jon Wearing,Robert Slap,Mark Karpinski,and Vic Witkowski all went to school together in a Detroit suburb.Most stayed in the business and had reasonable success.

The internet does rule for information exchange. Thanks for the correction, Anonymous!

Just as an interesting note John Wearing went on to join Frijid Pink in 1972 and appears on their third album "Earth Omen" and a few singles. He left in 1973 and I have no clue what happened to him after that...

Jon Wearing left Frijid Pink do to poor management and financial woes.He formed a band with Dallas Hodge of Canned Heat/Bonnie Raitt fame and went on the road.The Band was called Deluxe and Thats where Jonny got the nickname Jonny Deluxe.They toured with Joe Walsh and James Cotton and briefly had hopes of an album on Epic which fizzled.Sadly Jonny Deluxe Wearing died 1/4/09 of a broken heart.
