An upcoming CD collecting previously unreleased performances by Ringo Starr's pre-Beatles band, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, does not feature Starr on drums, he insists.

Asked about the album, Live at the Jive Hive, Ringo said:

It’s not me, that was done after I’d left to join the Beatles. I don’t know who the drummer was but I hope that Rory fans enjoy it anyway.

The only two tracks I was on were recorded while we were in Germany in 1960, when we made a two track acetate, and for those of you in the digi world that is a-ce-tate, of Mailman bring me no more blues, a Buddy Holly song sang by Lou Walters and Fever, and I’d love to hear those tracks ‘cause I don’t have a copy.”

This awesome contraption, manufactured by the Seeburg jukebox company, was once reportedly owned by Frank Sinatra and is now up for auction on eBay. Ol' Blue Eyes apparently gave it up once 45 rpm records took the place of 78s.

Veteran comics scribe Roy Thomas and artist Tom Grindberg are teaming for a new Sunday-style Tarzan comics strip that will appear, at least, on the official Edgar Rice Burroughs website and perhaps other outlets. The sample art looks gorgeous. There's an interview with Roy about the project here. Couldn't find any info, yet, as to when installments of this series will start appearing. Anyone know?
