Beware there was some crazed split several years ago the begat
leftbankism from leftbank. As far as I know the core group only
frequents leftbankism. There is a 2-cd Barock compilation floating
around that list members put together 5-7 years ago that's pretty
darn good.

Les Fradkin (Edison Lighthouse & Beatlemania) knows alot about
Barock in general and used to post quite a bit. Mark Frumento
(involved in reissues for Rev-Olo & others) is another treasure
trove of knowledge and posts there.

You'll also find Michael Brown associates Tom Finn, Ian Lloyd
and possibly still Richard Brand posting there. Jimmy McAllister
of Beckies was a regular until he passed away a year ago.

Disclaimer: I haven't read list posts in months.


Another good source is the Rev-Ola list on Yahoo Groups, though
onstensibly about the label, the knowledge base in the heads of
list members is overwhelming.

Two other Yahoo Groups are CherrySmash and Shindig-Magazine but
too much "fuzz" for me - CherrySmash less of the 2.
