Hi there
I think these are songs recorded by Petula Clark for the 
French market.

I guess a little bit of right-thinking nepotism never hurt anybody. For there is a terrific version of this Wine-composed song on the Pet Clark album, "Memphis", which was produced by Toni's former husband, Chips Moman.

I was of that opinion ,especially noting the quizmaster's "name". But "Well Respected Man", "Hello Mary Lou" indeed and what about "Calendar Girl" !! Some songs transcend a change of sex but pleezzzeee.!! I can't imagine "our Pet" doing social comment on "Where Do You Go". Oh to hell with it, Petula Clark please step forward.

Come to think of it, her French version of "Needles And Pins" also sounds pretty close to the original. I guess Antonio has got it right? Petula was/is very prolific en français.

Must be the album where Pat does his version of "Never Going Back" in an arrangement very similar to the Spoonful version. Also wanted to add to the recent discussion regarding The Daily Flash. Their guitarist Doug Hastings was very briefly a member of the Buffalo Springfield, filling in for Neil Young.

Hi Ken Well in fact the lyrics were a bit rearranged on these songs so "Hello Mary Lou" was "Bye, Bye mon amour" (Bye, Bye, my love) thought "Calendar girl" remained with the same title. You should see some Spanish titles of English songs when they received the cover treatment!!! Los Dart released in the sixties "Devil in her heart" as "No tienes nada que explicar" (You have nothing to explain), for example. It's funny how many people have learned some songs released on foreign markets with lyrics that had nothing whatsoever to do with the originals and when years later they have heard the original versions they found the stories the songs told were completely different :-) -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------
Message: 8 Date: Tue, 10 Sep 2002 21:24:47 -0000 From: Neil Hever Subject: Best 60's era revival Folks, I get CDs all the time at the station here and sometimes the bio material claims the music recalls the great pop of the 60s. Most of the time I am sorely disappointed. It made me think about the best 60s inspired pop music recorded. I can't think of many but certainly The Spongetones come to mind. Their LP "Beat Music" from 1982 was fantastic with great songs like "Here I go again", "Tell me too" and "She goes out with everybody." I also think the XTC side project Dukes of the Stratosphear "25 0'clock" was really quite groovy. Any thoughts? I sure would like to get some new "old" stuff I missed along the way. Cheers, Neil -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------
Message: 9 Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2002 00:14:58 +0000 From: Stuffed Animal Subject: A Groovy Kind Of Love Toni Wine DID record her own version of this song, but it wasn't the original. She released a single of "Groovy..." in 1971 (Atco 6800), and she did it as a sexy soul ballad . . . her satin/sandpaper voice fit the arrangement perfectly. It's certainly the best version of the song I've ever heard. Stuffed Animal -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------
Message: 10 Date: Tue, 10 Sep 2002 21:21:34 -0700 (PDT) From: Jason Tinkey Subject: who -are- these people? hi, everyone. i've picked up a couple of 45s recently and was wondering if any of you might be able to provide some information on them. the first is by a group called the summer winds. it's "another time" c/w "high horse" on metromedia records from mid-'69. the only name on the label that i recognize is curt boettcher, who gets the songwriting credit for "another time". it was produced by one michael gordon, and arranged by george tipton. the second one is the sundowners "dear undecided" c/w "always you" on decca. these are bones howe productions, and "always you" was co-written by tony asher. and that's it. anything that anybody can provide me would be greatly appreciated. thanks, tinks. --- http://www.geocities.com/beppo38/ -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

The cosmic Rough Riders album "Enjoy the melodic sunshine" is a great one for late 60's influenced harmony pop. Really good album. Edwyn Collins single - "A Girl Like You" also had a great 60's vibe to it. Mainly I think because his studio is comprised of vintage recording gear. "Give Me A Little More Time" by Gabrielle is I think one of the best Motown style tracks you will hear. Richard Hattersley -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

Message: 13 Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2002 17:21:38 +0930 From: Norman Subject: Need some clarification Hello Spectropoppers, I need someone who knows to tell me who sang the vocals on "It's Up To You Petulia" / "Let's Make It Up" by the Edison Lighthouse. (Bell BLL-9367) Australia I have never been satisfied that it was Tony Burrows and had this misconception (maybe) that it was Peter Nelson (Lipscom). I know that Tony Burrows worked with Arnold-Martin-Morrow around about 1974. And since I am about taxing the collective knowledge... Is the Harley Quinne pressing of "In A Moment of Madness", (b-side to New Orleans) (Bell 2008 102) Australia, the same take from the Flowerpot Men/White Plains sessions that ended up on White Plains LP. I am hoping someone will put me straight.. Thanks, Norman -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

They predate the Spongetones, Rutles and Utopia albums that paid hommage to the Beatles sound by some years!!! Unfortunately nobody seemed to care at the time. -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

I've always wondered about who the Sundowners REALLY were. I know they were a "studio" group but that's all I do know. "Dear Undecided" is one of my favorite Beatles songs the Beatles never did and Always You is just a great Nicholls/ Asher tune. Both are on the Captain Nemo album and to my ears very few of the songs sound like the same band. It seems to my ears that they were trying to release the next Sgt Pepper or Revolver? -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------
