(bowing down), it is indeed an honor for my very first artist Rik L Rik to drop by the
Posh homestead here at Geocities.
Of course, Rik has known me since before the start of the Posh Boy label, maybe that's why
he still calls me by my surname.
Thanks, Rik, for being one of the only ones to get as far as my Bangkok stock market
report. Just when I was beginning to think no one _cared_ ! Ironically, most of the
activity I talk about is not interesting to the big money, the market is so thin rel tive
to Wall Street or Hong Kong, as little as $100,000 can really affect even one of the large
caps there. I remember one day when the biggest telecom stock ADVANC made a 20% up move,
then calculated that it took no more than $1,000,000 in play to do it
As far as the variables you speak of, I am not sure if you're referring to the stock
market or living conditions in Thailand. If the stock market, rest assured extreme
volatility is its very raison d'etre; it is well understood that the Asian casinos are set
up as legalized casinos. As for the inexpensiveness of Bangkok, the place was cheap before
the economic crisis; current y, the prices are bordering on the absurd and quite possibly
property prices will suffer significant deflation over the next few years.

I am honored by Michael's dropping in on this page. Michael started the trendsetting New
York label ZE Records, a best of compilation released on CD a few years back through
Island Records. I am sure Mike must be scratching his head and wondering why it took
America 15 years or so to embrace off the wall "lounge" music which ZE tried so
hard to popularise in the early 80's, just as Posh Boy sometimes finds it difficult to
reconcile how the pop punk groups of 1994 outsold their 1981 predecessors 1000 to 1
I have known Michael since we were teenagers growing up in London. It was Michael, who in
1976, took me one evening to Dingwall's in Camden Lock in London to see The Ramones.

Comments:
Hey Robbie, i just wanted to thank you for all that you've done, and
all the hard working people at Posh Boy. If it wasn't for you guys (and
gals!!!) many bands wouldn't have seen the light of day. I have met
and have had the opportunity to befriend Mike Palm, and i' grateful
that Posh Boy was able to bring the public's attention to such a great
band. Although the original band separated almost a decade ago (RIP)
They are still alive and kicking. Now, do you know anything of "Living
In Total Darkness", the re-recordi g done around 88, with Scott
on drums and Brent Liles (Ex-Social D) on bass? Mike told me about it,
but it seems impossible to find. Mr. Palm just finally found one last
year. It wasn't officially released, and i think the masters were stolen,
someone boo legged it and slapped a horribly blurred picture of three
mannequins on the front with their logo. And also, what was it like
working with Mike and AO back in the day? "Darkness" is considered
a legendary album and many bands name it as an inspiration, (A em, unlike
one Orange county "Punk" band that ripped them off without
given credit!!!) and it still stands out to this day. From what i've
heard, Scott Miller now lives in SF and has played in another band since
he left AO in 88, i've never found out whi h though. Also, Symbol Six
had a few tracks tacked onto the cd re-release of "Darkness",
did they ever record a full length or anything else other than that?
I can't seem to find anything. That's all for now, i hope you can answer
some of my questions, an thanks for the memories......
* Posh Boy Replies *
Tom, it's people like you who make this site worthwhile! I would never
have thought to have commented on "In Total Darkness", now
I will !!!
Let me address your comments in order : The hard-working crew at Posh
Boy does indeed thank you. These days, though, there are only 2 people
who help me on the non-musical side. Carl Nicolari (seinfeld@goplay.com)
like you is a Posh Boy fan and after seeing the site he put up for The
Crowd, w agreed to collaborate on constructing this site for the label.
He's been on board 2 months and it seems as though he has been around
since 1979! In California, I have a lady who picks up my mail and deposits
checks for me and does some other secretaria work for me when I'm out
of state. On the music side, my main man is Paul Kostabi, based in New
York. If a demo interests me or if I need any studio work done, Paul
is going to be involved.
The original band (Agent Orange) separated
in 1980. Steve Soto was the original bass player and played on "Bloodstains",
co-wrote "Breakdown" and played on the demos added to the
1992 Rhino release.
"Living In Total Darkness" was a hare-brained scheme that
Mike regrets bitterly at having been sucked into. Christmas 1986, the
band filed a lawsuit against me which was taken off calendar (New Year's
Eve) at the Orange County courthouse and subsequently dismissed with
prejudice. Together I and Sounds Good, a distribution company, paid
the group a modest settlement amount and the group and I agreed to cap
future royalties. Still smarting from their pyrrhic victory, someone
in the A.O. camp had the brigh idea to re-record the entire "Living
In Darkness" album and release it in competition with the original,
with the aim of cutting me off from my cash cow.
Despite the involvement of legal counsel in the scheme, several legal
issues were initially ignored viz., unfair competition statutes that
would have prevented the selling of any record that would have confused
the public as to its origin and the greater ssue of mechanical royalties.
It seems that only after the recording was finished did it occur to
anyone that Posh Boy would profit immensely from any re-recording as
Posh Boy controlled through its Covina High Music company nearly all
of the publishing rights. I distinctly remember ielding an embarrassed
call from Enigma (A.O.'s then label) asking me to confirm that I published
those selections.
As Mike would later find out, he got stuck with the entire tab for the
re-recordings, cross collateralized against A.O.'s Enigma releases.
I was not aware that the tapes had been bootlegged. Of course, I don't
care as long as the manufacturers pay the me hanical royalties (which
they won't as bootleggers don't like sharing their lucre with anyone,
least of all musicians and songwriters).
As for working with the band, I believed that I generally played the
bad cop to Jay Lansford's good cop routine in the studio. But Jay and
I were 100% on the same side in trying to secure the best performances
from the group, given our (lack of) resources
Business wise, the group was always uncomfortable with me; "Bloodstains"
was on the first Rodney On the Roq album because of the band's admiration
for Rodney; the Posh Boy label was not that hot, yet. They came to record
an album for me because their c reer had stalled after their self-released
single and because my label had become very hot over the preceding year.
My releasing the "Eldorado" single (PBS 30) in early 1991
was to be the start of real collaboration and a degree of friendship
between Mike, his wife Stephanie and myself.
The inconclusive nature of the dispute with Epitaph Records over their
non-payment of royalties for the sample of "Bloodstains" in
the Offspring's "Come Out And Play" was to put a lot of stress
on our relationship.
Symbol Six had one other recording with me - "Box of Bones".
I can't remember if I ever released it somewhere; originally it was
slated for the never released Posh Hits Vol. 2.
Beach Blvd. has been re-released on CD with lots of bonus material.

Comments:
Hi Robbie, I scoured the net several months ago for proof of your existence.
It pleases me to finally find Posh Boy in business and online. Thanks
for including a complete discography on your web site...I've been searching
for one for a while. I would really like to see the proposed Al Flipside
artwork for the Social Distortion 12" (PBS 1011). I understand
that you may not have it in your possession or may not be able to legally
copy it in any way; perhaps you could describe it and mention why the
band disapproved of it. Thanks for the great music, Vince
* Posh Boy Replies *
Vince, good to hear from you! There really were a few, possibly ten,
original test pressings of the Social Distortion 12" PBS 1011.
The only way to identify them would be if they had an "Alco"
test pressing label, Alco the name of the legendary now closed pressing
plant I first used in Hollywood. Many times my pride got in the way
of making money and this was one occasion. The Playpen/Mainliner
single was already scheduled and in production when Mike Ness and I
fell out. I can't even remember the issue, possibly it was over the
artwork, as you say.
Perversely, as I really liked and respected Mike (in spite of Mike and
Dennis’ constant drunkenness) I just thought it better to put the
12" on hold. Obviously if I had released a 12" I would have
sold at least 50,000 over the years, though initially dem nd would have
been slight. Incredible as it now seems, I doubt if we sold more than
2000 of the TSOL e.p. in its first year of release, 1981. 1982 saw very
good sales until everything stopped in 1983.
The original artwork by Al Kowalewski (Flipside) is the artwork used
for the 7". There was never any different artwork done for the
12" as far as I recollect. When we pressed up copies of the 12"
PBS 1011 for 1991's box set, Posh e.p.'s Vol. 1 we used one of
the original 1981 stampers, I believe the "A" side. I seem
to remember we re-cut the "B" side either because the original
was unusable or because I wanted to add another track. The original
12" was to have just 4 tracks. The box set is now sold out; the
12" was inserted in a 12" black disco sleeve. We included
with the 3 e.p.’s a glossy sheet containing liner notes for the
Social Distortion and Stepmothers e.p.s. Redd Kross came in its own
12" picture sleeve.

what I can!
Isn't it cool how the Internet hooks up old punkers people thought had died or turned to
society's creatures??
Thanks again for keeping Posh Boy and the music that we grew up on and helped shape us
alive!
* Posh Boy Replies *
Jay, thanks for all of your comments. I took the liberty of editing your comments. If you
object, please let me know and we'll make our correspondence private.
To answer your questions : We intend to have sound files, particularly of rare stuff as
time goes on. The main emphasis right now is putting up the overall superstructure for the
site, seeing how much we can do with the limited resources allowed us. So far, I'm
guessing our total out of pocket expenses including log-on time is less than $50.
Eventually we'll be looking at a site that may cost an affordable $50 per month to
maintain but will pack a lot of bang and will put certain major label sites to shame. Punk
rock internet, d.i.y., call it what you will, we' e doing it.
I'm afraid that it's no myth : I am indeed living in Bangkok. Call me an M.I.B.; I didn't
get drafted to Vietnam but like many who did I have gone Missing In Bangkok . One of the
interesting technologies I have come across here is a music compressi n program called
MusArc that is used here for bootleg CD ROMs that contain the equivalent of 12 CDs worth
of music on each CD ROM. The playback quality is superb, in no way a compromise like
RealAudio. I'd rather develop a site that takes advantage of s ch technology and which
would allow us to have the complete Posh Boy music archives on line.
Our business was always the selling of artifacts, the music packaged and sold in a
specific way. These days, the artifact business has declined somewhat for us and our
emphasis is on licensing music to other labels for compilations and others for such an
illary usages as film and TV.
So for the moment we will be adding links to other people's sites, like Rhino, that offer
surfers Posh Boy sound files using storage that we just don't have available to us at the
present time.
You may not be aware of it, but I sold my rights to the dozen or so TSOL masters that I
controlled to Bryan (Offspring) Holland's Nitro label last year for a nice sum. I still
have the publishing rights. Any new compilation would be up to Nitro co-opera ing with the
other labels that control T.S.O.L. masters. Epitaph now own the "Dance With Me"
masters having purchased those from Frontier. "Beneath The Shadows" is owned by
the band members and through inertia remains with Restless, the successor compan to
Enigma. Restless control the balance of the T.S.O.L. catalog.
I was never into The Exploited. The closest thing to it was being mesmerized by Jimmy
Pursey and Sham 69 in London in 1980. I greatly appreciate your taking the time to express
your views.

Sure I remember you ... I looked all through my closet for a copy of that record for you.
Could only find an empty sleeve.
I wish you every success with your new store. You should contact Bill Karras at Sound of
California
(fax : (562) 493 8898). He carries all the kewl stuff you're looking for.
As for Acapulco, I packed up half and gave away the remainder of my things there a week
before the hurricane struck last September. I made a lateral move to Bangkok, Thailand.
But as you know, you can always find me in cyber-space.
No, I didn't know about making the (dis)honor roll in Ben Is Dead. I find it funny, too.
The other magazines must be scratching their heads, as I never stiffed a fanzine before.
Other advertisers will understand: Ben Is Dead is so flaky, it's beyond b lief. I had
placed the ad for a certain issue, requesting as I always do specific placement; meanwhile
months later, the issue had not appeared and they announced that the negotiated ad rates
had gone up. I told them I wasn't going to pay extra so canc l the ad. But they ran it
anyway sticking it in the back as they had empty space. Remember these are people who do
not answer the phone. The last heard from them was a year ago when some lunatic calls me
at 1 a.m. demanding money for the ad. Right the e I resolved not to pay them a penny. Ever
noticed how out of date the ads are, advertising records that have been out for a year?

Ray, thanks for taking the time to add your comments. Your thanks should go to Carl

comments . Carl definitely plays the David Hines role here, making it all hap en.
It's interesting about The Toy Dolls; their "Nellie The Elephant" has to be one
of the most popular punk songs of all time; I have received numerous requests from other
record companies to license it, but it's not in the Posh Boy catalog! Teen Babes, wa that
the Smoke 7 record re-released on Frontier? If there's ever another punk revival or maybe
even without one, someone will probably pirate a CD edition of Posh Hits Vol. 1 including
all the tracks that I can no longer use. So long as they pay the mechanical (publishing)
royalties, I'll be happy. Japan would have been a good candidate for a legitimate
re-release as their copyright on foreign sound recordings used to run just 20 years.
I would rather have bootleggers use this site for information they need than for them to
get it wrong and perpetuate "myths". Of course, most bootleggers know more about
my label than I do! Just pay the g-d mechanicals!

Suggestions for CD Re-releases: Hell comes to Your House
Comments:
I remember when bands thought it was cool that some whacked scholteacher would help them
put out a record. Then, they figured out that somebody somewhere made ten bucks, and
suddenly it was 'robbie fields ripped me off!' I don't care who screwed who- I' damn glad
these recordings exist. What about digging up 'Skeletons In The Closet' (Eddie & the
Subtitles), or the nearly perfect "Hell Comes to Your House" comp on Bemisbrain
records, and reissuing them on CD? I've got the vinyl but I'm old and lazy- I want a CD.
Then, if the reissues came close to paying for themselves, there could be a whole new
legion of people saying you porked them. Seriously, PoshBoy Reords printed the music that
was the at the crux of my youth. Thank you.
* Posh Boy Replies *
Cliff, you've made an old whacked schoolteacher weep! I take it you are referring to me as
that professorial gentleman cruising the suburbs looking for raw talent to put into the
studio and create history. Yes, I was a schoolteacher in Pasadena, California in 1978-79.
At one point, I was a lodger in Cleatu Scott's (mother of Snickers from the Simpletones)
house in Alhambra and driving to work each morning at a different Pasadena high school
after spending the previous evening checking out bands at the Hong Kong Cafe.
As regards the re-issues : Eddie moved in his own orbit and though we were all acquainted
with one another, we had different agendas and certainly different ways of conducting
"business" (I am being oblique here). Which was tragic, as I don't think Edd e
had any idea of the potential stature of his song "American Society", a not
unusual syndrome for artists not to know when they have produced the goods. I say this, as
anyone familiar with this particular period would know that by being on the Posh Boy abel
at this time would have ensured far greater exposure.
I believe the ownership of Eddie's masters is unclear; I certainly don't know who has the
rights ... they may have actually passed into the public domain (a situation possible with
pre-1989 masters and a real liklihood with pre-1978 recordings). Contrar to what some may
think, Posh Boy has always been very legalistic in its exploitation of artist recordings
and I have steered clear of ever being accused of bootlegging an artist. After all, there
are plenty of other people doing that kind of thing.
One extraordinary character who came in from the shadows is Long Gone John of Sympathy For
The Recording Industry. He's passionate about the music you mentioned and would normally
be the best candidate for this kind of re-issue. So I wonder why he hasn' got involved.
As far as "Hell Comes To Your House" is concerned, my recollection is that there
were two partners involved, Steve Sinclair and someone else, whose identity escapes me. In
1989, I was at the 50th anniversary party for the Rainbo Records pressing plant and I
pitched one of the partners (my memory is shot!) on doing a CD re-issue. Nothing came of
it. My impression was that there was an ownership dispute and that exploitation would just
stir things up. Amazing, as I know I could have made a lot of money for everyone involved
during the old school punk compilation boom of 1994.
The major part of Posh Boy's business these days is licensing tracks for compilations and
retrospectives. Ironically, the Posh Boy label has an unblemished reputation in the
industry for licensing legitimate masters. And that brings us to a possible exp anation of
why this material remains in the vaults : if the masters were at sometime released or
licensed and one of the groups came out of the woodwork and alleged that there was no
recording or licensing agreement between them and the label, that label, given the absence
of paperwork, would think hard about cont nuing to exploit the disputed masters.
Weathering allegations of non-payment of royalties is small potatoes in comparison.
I have done a copyright search on "American Society" and I see that Eddie's real
name is/was Edwin Frank and that he kept his publishing as Eddie Subtitle's Music; almost
surprised not to see Bug Music listed as co-publisher. Unfortunately the BMI datab se does
not list a contact address; if someone were to call BMI and request it, that would be the
clue as to who owns those masters.
The biggest part of my business these days is administering "lost" copyrights
like the above ones for 30 something musicians who kept their publishing but never managed
to collect much in the way of royalties. Not because someone was ripping them off; us ally
because no one was actually claiming the royalties as they were being accrued in the
U.S.A. and foreign territories.
I am still that whacked school teacher. Class dismissed.

Chris, you gotta help me! I am not familiar with the Blink 182 release. Did they cover a

them at gethip@gethip.com or visit their web site at www.gethip.com . Now we don't know
why, but the web site has no information on the Posh Boy label t ough they carry every one

part of the Future Looks Bright CD (PBCD 120), out in the late 80's. Very hard to find,
these days. The re-issue Grand Theft Audio was making some noises about including the PB
masters among their S.F masters to be released. Maybe somebody knows something about
this???

Glad to see an old label still around, would like some ordering info and also would like
to know if any other old indie labels are still operating. I have tried to find a few
others like, Mystic,Spinhead, We Got Power and Gasatanka but can find no info. Please let
me know if I can order anything from these labels or if you know where I can find them.
* POSH BOY REPLIES * But I am GONE, currently in Bangkok, Thailand. Posh Hits would make
for a good CD, however, a lot of the tracks are no longer available to use. Black Flag
have an understanding to go our separat ways, the Social D. track was purchased by them
and their management, T.S.O.L. is a little tricky as I'd need to deal with Nitro who
purchased my TSOL master rights in '97. At least I can put Redd Kross on; for a while,
Polygram had exclusive rights to he early recordings. As for mail order, I don't wish to
get involved with that end of the business any longer. Hopefully, someone can post a link
to a really good mail order operation that carries my stuff and the others you mentioned.
Thanks

Nice Web page Keep It Simple. Paul
* POSH BOY REPLIES *
Nice to see I am on speaking terms with at least one Posh Boy alumnus. Paul Kostabi is the
same person as Ena of Youth Gone Mad, one of the most significant 80's L.A. punk bands not
originally released on Posh Boy. However, in the 90's Paul and I have t ed to rectify past
mistakes by re-releasing YGM's classic "Oki Dogs" and a bunch of other material.
Incidentally, Posh Boy was able to reclaim Paul's copyright to the classic song
"Guns" as recorded by O.C.'s D.I..

Yow!
* POSH BOY REPLIES * : Thanks for visiting the site you put up for the Posh Boy label! We
started talking about this just days ago and already it's a reality. We're living in the
past and future at the same time, kind of similar to how we made the original records,
always with a nod to the past. Thanks, Carl!
