Billy Joel Might Sweat These Hassiles [sic]

If you're a fan of Billy Joel's heavy metal duo Attila like I am (see earlier post entitled "Billy Joel Sweats Southeast Asia") then you've probably got a copy of the budget, bootleg cd edition of the Attila album, that also claims to contain tracks by Billy's pre-Attila '60s psych-pop act, The Hassles. Anyone with an E.A.R. can tell they're not. For one thing, they sound like they're from the '80s. Instead, these "bonus" tracks probably having nothing to do with Billy Joel at all. Except maybe, they are by some latter, sans-Joel Hassles reunion? I dunno. But here's some thoughts on the matter, found elsewhere on the world wide web, for those who are curious about this curiosity that makes a curio even curiouser: http://www.geocities.com/amplifier_fire/mystery.html
