Sugar Shoppe is a nice LP, kind of a sunshine pop music that some
sellers say also falls into the "bubblegum" category.

How interesting, my wife was raised as a Jehovah's Witness. She
left the fold many, many moons ago. As might be evident from her
being married to a lunatic/atheist Jew. I have learned that the
Witnesses are not quite the "cult" religion as they are so often
portrayed. Just another branch of the tree--though they have some
"different" ideas and do proselytize rather agressively.
More importantly, who is Linda November? Does that have something
to do with being a Playmate of the month? Is she related to January
Jones, Frederick March, April Stevens, June Taylor?
Di da,
Rashkovsky

Artie Schroek once did a version of the Spoonful's "Coconut Grove"
for a single on CBS and is mentioned in the Laura Nyro bio for the
work he did on her first LP.

George got it on his first trip over to the US. The one before he
brought over the other hooligans with him.

That's a hell of a place for a Jehovah's Witness to move to!

All I could find on Linda November are some of her achievements as
a backing singer for Al Kooper (Al's Big Deal/Unclaimed Freight),
Don McLean (Homeless brother) and Jimi Hendrix (Loose ends).
Anybody know of any others ?

According to Nyro's biog Stoned Soul, Linda November was a
backing vocalist on La Laura's debut LP "More Than A New
Discovery" (aka "The First Songs"), along with the Hi Fashions
and Toni Wine.

I agree, the "Soda Pop Babies" CD is an excellent compilation.
Sparkling sound, thirst-quenching track selection and
refreshinging packaging too. Heck, it even contains "Just Let
Me Cry" by Mina. How bubbliceous is that?! To those who like
their pop princesses of the Little Peggy, Brenda Lee and Connie
Francis variety, it's a bit of a must have.
Babs Cooper? I stand to be corrected, but I think she later
joined the Womenfolk.

Shame on Mike Rashkow, shame on you!! Artie is not shacked up with
some former playmate or centrefold. Linda November is an extremely
well known background/jingles singer out of New York who sang on a
load of hits (as they all did). In fact she was mentioned on this
site maybe a week or so ago. So not only have you never heard of her
but you're not reading the posts properly either! I think Spectro
administrators should be told.
I reluctantly sense a thread here. Do your worst Mr R. As many
singers etc. with months of the year in their names as you can think
of, and while we're about it, ditto singers with days of the week in
their names too!. If this gets rapidly out of hand, can I offer my
apologies now to the rest of you.
And you are quite right Mike about the Witnesses. The only one I
know is a perfectly rational, normal human being quite capable of
social discourse and who never mentions his religion unless asked
about it.
Phil M, are you suggesting that there aren't any god-fearing folk in
Vegas? Tut tut.

My two favorite sides by him are Darling Be Home Soon for the Spoonful
and Emily's Illness by Nora Guthrie. I'm sure there are dozens more
masterpieces where those come from.

I have a confession to make. I'm all Artied out. There are soooo many
significant Arties in the world of Spectropop I can't keep track of
'em. I read credits on CD's and rekkids. Artie this and Artie that
did a bunch of production/songwriting/what-have-you stuff. I would
really like for one of our distinguished panel of experts (if we
really have one) to make a list of Arties. Who they are. Who they
were. What they did. So I can follow along. Thanks. And you Arties,
don't hesitate to speak for yourselves either!

Hi,
I have posted a label photo of an acetate presented to me by Bobby
Vee several years ago of a song titled "Mr. and Mrs". We used the song
as one of the bonus cuts on the "I Remember Buddy Holly" cd issued on
EMI circa 1991. We were never able to find out who the writer of the
song was. The demo, as you can see by the photo was recorded at the
Brill Building studio and the song was published by Sheldon Music.
Can anyone out there help solve this mystery?
Thanks!
Bob

Not to add to the confusion, but there's an April March too. Married
to Warren Zanes, formerly of the Del Fuegoes and a recording artist
in her own right.

The story of the wayward Bobby Lee Trammell is recounted in full in
the splendid sleeve notes to his CD on Bear Family "You Mostest
Girl" (BCD15887) which includes New Dance in France (Sims 183).
Dance was cut in Memphis in 1963 when rockabilly performer Trammell
had revamped himself as "The First American Beatle" and features
Travis Wammack on lead guitar. Canned applause was also added to
make it sound like a live recording.

Hey All,
Here's an odd revelation: I was listening to The Four Freshmen
"Today Is Tomorrow" LP on Liberty today (not tomorrow), and I
realized there's a track on it written by one Mark Malmborg, called
"When School Is Out This Year." Is this a known thing (like was it
referred to in the liner notes to the Rev-Ola reissue of "A
Midsummer's Daydream")? It's a pretty cool track.
Cheers,
Keith

Subject: Jack Nitzsche Update
The new Record Of The Week is Edgar Alan and the Po' Boys'
"Panic Button" (Rust), arranged and co-written by Jack with
Marty Cooper, who also produced it. How cool to find Jack's
name cropping up on the unlikeliest of labels and comforting
to know that, try as I might, the discography looks like it
will never be complete!
http://www.spectropop.com/JackNitzsche/index.htm
Next week's choices are both excellent: Terry Stafford's "A
Little Bit Better" or Billy Ford's "This Is Worth Fighting For".
Nitzsche on Radio the is playing the first of the three drum demos.
http://www.spectropop.com/JackNitzsche/radio.htm (Drum roll please)
There's also a new article, Hertbeat FM, A Jack Nitzsche special
broadcast, "the jukebox drive-in with Robbie Owen", 31st August 2003.
Roll those drums, sound those trumpets, in fact bring on the whole
symphony for "Al Hazan and Jack Nitzsche's Record of the Week":
http://www.spectropop.com/JackNitzsche/earlydays.htm
The first track is...The Starr Sisters, "Every Beat Of My Heart".
Seemingly unreleased but recorded for United Artists, later covered
by Cindy Malone, a super Girl Group track from '63. Al has written
about the session and supplied a super picture of the former Lute
recording artists. Don't miss it!

Subject: Jack Nitzsche productions
Hi
I recently stumbled across the superb Jack Nitzche produced
'Daddy, You Just Gotta Let Him In' by the Satisfactions. This
track really made me realize how much the man's brilliant string
arrangements played a part in the overall 'wall of sound'. Now,
I've only heard VERY few Nitzsche produced tracks, so my question
is this: has he produced other sides in the Spector mould? If so,
I would just love to track them down...
Actually, someone should compile a collection of great Spector
soundalikes. A CD of such songs surely would bring stars to my
eyes. :-)

Hello, Keith
Yes it is the very same Mark Eric-I read somewhere that he had
gotten a song placed with the Four Freshmen.
The Mark Eric LP is one of my favorite albums and I'm glad it has
gotten some attention of late. I found a copy back in 1989 and I
really thought of it as an outstanding example of California pop. I
especially love the track "Lynn's Baby" - melodic pop at its finest!
I have some questions on this album - what year did it come out in?
I have it on the Revue label and it doesn't have any info on the
release date. I originally guessed late '67 but I think the Revola
website said 1969 was the year of release - I couldn't believe I was
two years off.

For some reason I keep getting Artie Schroek and Artie Resnick
mixed up...I guess because I have lots of records with their
names on the labels!
Oddly enough I was going through some LPs last night and found
an LP by Artie Schroek I had forgotten I had-it's called "Hello
World, Meet Today's People" on Evolution 2004. Produced by Robert
Byrne and arranged and conducted by Artie Schroeck. I gotta start
paying more attention!
