As we were sorting through some of the boxes tonight, we came across a disc labeled "Bags Recordings" which no doubt had surfaced during the search for material for the Artifix Records LP, All Bagged Up. Some decent bootleg recordings of the Bags performing live, probably in 1979, were on that disc. My husband corrected the speed because the original source tape was warped and the results will be posted on my media pages for anyone wishing to listen.
Here's the Bags doing our cover version of the Standells' song, "Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White."

this is cool news. I am so happy to see that your archives will be in a good home. UCLA is the best place for those to be!
KUDOS to you Alice for doing this.
Now it will be a part of history that people can study.
Is this valuable stuff safe out of the storage of Alice and Greg?..how will the website grow if its out of your hands?
PLEASE PLEASE scan and post as much of your collection as you can before you let it go out of your hands, I thank you for everything you have already posted. It is a real treasure trove of early LA punk material that is unmatched anywhere else on the web, except for Jenny Lens' photo page.
Try left clicking the link as normal and it might prompt you to run or save. That might work.
I don't think Alice would give up her archives if she would not have access to them. AND that they will be with UCLA, she will be treated very nicely. And that those archives can now be studied, which is always good for the history of something like the LA Punk Scene. That SO many of us were a part of and help create here in Hollywood. Thank Goodness to Alice for saving all what she has. God bless You Alice!!!! and your Mom too.
