NEVER MIND THE GIZMOS HERE'S THE GIZMOS, assembles the 14 tracks originally released on Gulcher vinyl by the post-Ken Highland/Eddie Flowers Gizmos. After the original group scattered in early 1977, vocalist Ted Niemiec and Gulcher's Bob Richert put together a sextet of new Gizmos. In 1978, they toured the east coast and recorded the EP NEVER MIND THE SEX PISTOLS HERE'S THE GIZMOS. Standout tracks are early versions of "Cry Real Tears" (Vulgar Boatmen) and "The American Dream" (Walking Ruins), and a cover of the Sex Pistols B-side "Did You No Wrong." Two years later--downsized to a quartet of Dale Lawrence, Billy Nightshade, Tim Carroll, and Shadow Myers--the Gizmos released the 1980 split HOOSIER HYSTERIA album with Dow Jones & The Industrials. Highlights include the manic "Dead Astronauts," ironic "Rock & Roll Don't Come From New York," and Al Green's "Take Me To The River." A year later, unaware of their impending Indiana fame, the band relocated to Hoboken, New Jersey. With new drummer Robbie Wise, they recorded several demos with the MX-80 Sound production team of Mark Bingham and Mark Hood. Only "The Midwest Can Be Allright" was released then, on the 1981 Gulcher compilation LP RED SNERTS; it took another 20 years for the 1981 NYC DEMOS CD-EP to appear.
