"Wamplers' Lake" bootleg

I used to have a track by the Psychedelic Stooges, called "Ron's Jam" (IIRC), from an album called, I think, "Live At Wamplers' Lake"

Is this legit? Gawd knows how many mislabelled mp3's are out there. And is it worth trying to track down? The track was...ok: it was very Stooge-ish in its' sound but it also sounded like Ron just got his new Vox wah installed or something....

Yes. It is from 1968.

2 tracks - "Ron's Jam" & "What You Gonna Do"

These are available on a semi offical release by "Starfighter" and was released around 1991. The disc also includes, 2 tracks cincinatti pop fest 70, and 6 from St.Charles Factory 71(unproperly labeled as kiel auditorim 71).

You can find this disc on ebay everynow and then. I got mine there a couple years ago when this disc was very rare.


Hope this helped ! CHEERS!

Great track and great disk that Starfighter one. What Ya Gonna Do is true punk from 68!

No... i's not from 68. It's from 1971 , without Iggy, and was taped by Michael Tipton, the guy who taped Metallic KO. see the notes in OU&B, (page 392 UK!)

what ya gonna do, and rons jam is from 71 ? ohh, they didnt do wamplers in 71 though ? and that dosent sound like 2 guitars ... are you sure ?

The gig was after the band had been dropped by elektra; they had one gig booked, Iggy and James didn't turn up, so Ron, Scott and jimmy Recca played without them. The singer was a fan who jumped up on stage to help. It's possible the show was a t aclub owned by Punch Andrews, not Wamplers. You'll have to read the book for the full story!!!

It does sound more like 71 stuff and the guy really does sound like Iggy, I always thought it was! - I think there's another longer version of What ya Gonna Do purportedly from Union Ballroom in 68, anyone know where this's really from?

yeah theres 2 what you gonna do's i think.

and i just read that part in the book Paul, thanks for the info and correction !
