As promised, I am going to attempt to post something from each of the 20 collections I have over here somewhat regularly. It has been a long time since I posted anything from Russ Gibb’s tapes. I was able to get my hands on a nice beta VCR for a short amount of time and get clean transfers of all of the Russ tapes I have. No more white vertical lines!
For those who need a Russ refresher (wikipedia): Russel James Gibb (June 15, 1931 – April 30, 2019) was an American rock concert promoter, school teacher and disc jockey from Dearborn, Michigan, best known for his role in the “Paul is dead” phenomenon, a story he broke on radio station WKNR-FM in Dearborn, and as the owner of the Grande Ballroom, a major rock music venue in Detroit. (me) He was also a teacher at Dearborn High School who filmed a lot of small/unknown bands in the midwest. So humbled to have a good amount of his tapes here.
Anyway, Guilty Bystanders were a punk band from Flint, Mi. They put out 1 self/independently released CD. The photo used for the facebook post has more info about the many members that were in the band.
