Crunch. That's what happens when you mix two parts Slade with one part Rolling Stones and feature the future frontman for the final incarnation of The Joe Perry Project. Teenage Suicide by Thundertrain is a rare look at rock & roll attitude which slugged it out in the trenches of Boston with the likes of Charlie Farren's Balloon, Ralph Mormon's Daddy Warbux, the Real Kids, mainstream rockers Susan, Willie Loco Alexander's Boom Boom Band, and so many others. Thundertrain were not punks, but they were more accepted in the punk environment than the Beams and the Dead End Kids, probably because Mach Bell's stage antics were proof that they acted like underground rockers, despite the band's music being so slick, tight, and hard edged. The album starts off with "Hot for Teacher," their second 45, and college radio hit. The presence of ex-Velvet Underground pianist Willie "Loco" Alexander gives the disc an authentic rock & roll feel, and it is a great opening track. The bulk of the material is written by lead guitarist Steven Silva, and features creative, sludgey riffs which give Bell's "I just gargled with Draino" voice a board with which to ride the electric surf. Rhythm guitarist Gene Provost contributes three songs to this debut: "Love the Way," the anthem-like "Hell Tonite," which kicks off side two, and "Forever & Ever." He's no mere rhythm guitarist; like Keith Richards, he can make the instrument snarl as Steve Silva goes off on a tangent. Produced by Earthquake Morton and Nighthawk Jackson, engineered by George Lilly, one gets the feeling the Duke & the Drivers guys were behind this project -- the Drivers being one of Boston's major blues-rock outfits. Eight of the nine tracks were recorded at Northern Studios, while the final cut, their showstopper "I Gotta Rock," was tracked live at the Rat nightclub in Boston -- the song is one of their two tracks on the legendary Live at the Rat album. Teenage Suicide can't show you Mach Bell's enormous stage presence, and that was a big part of their appeal -- we can only hope videos from the time have survived. It also doesn't have the polish a major label might have afforded them, but it does capture the energy and creative spark of a major Boston personality who would go on to work with a member of Aerosmith, and his bandmates who were a formidable and powerful bunch on stage.

GOLDMINE GRADING
SEALED: Never opened...never played. Still in original shrink.
MINT : It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.
NM : Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.
VG+ : The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.
VG : Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.
G : Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.
P : Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above Good grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.
I will ship within 1 business day of receiving payment.
