Message: 4 Date: Fri, 26 Dec 2003 21:43:30 EST From: Jon Cook Subject: Re: Michael Brown / All This & WWII / Sgt Pepper Movie First, thanks very much to the Michael Brown info. I was surprised to read about the 2001 sessions. Everything I had heard had painted him as a voluntary shut-in with no interest in music. Nice to hear he's still active. On a semi-related note to "All This and World War II" - did I imagine this or is the 'Sgt Pepper' movie actually out on DVD now? Anybody else read that MOJO article on the making of this movie. Incredible story, especially the confidence everybody had in it... until it got into the theaters. But, I'll say this - the 'failures' from past years are much more interesting than today's (ie Justin Loves Kelly, or whatever that American Idol movie was called).

Message: 5 Date: Fri, 26 Dec 2003 23:07:40 -0500 (EST) From: ACJ Subject: Re: Debbie Campbell / Jimmie Cross / All This & WWII Mark T: Debbie Campbell had a minor US hit in the mid-1970s with "Please Tell Him I Said Hello" (previously a British hit for Dana). Do you perchance know if she's also the Debbie Dawn who recorded a bizarre country single called "Hands" that wound up on Rhino's "World's Worst Records Volume 2"? Country Paul: Jimmie Cross's "other" single, "Hey Little Girl," was released on the Charly 4-CD set "The Red Bird Story", but not since (that I know of). All This and World War II: If I remember right, this film actually started as a dream (literally) of a film executive; in the dream he saw old newsreel footage of WWII while hearing Beatles songs, and upon waking, realized that his generation was (a) the last to be directly affected by WWII and (b) the first to be directly affected by the Beatles.

Hey Stuart sir. My comment was in regards to the people that thought the song was about pedophilia... of which I completely defended Mr. O'Sullivan. It may have been about whatsisname's daughter, but was it "impure?" More Stuart: > I'm not entirely sure (being British and therefore culturally > constipated) whether you're being serious or not here. I strongly > suspect you are not, but just on the off chance that you are, then > I have to rush to the defense of an artist I thought was one of > the most boring and dullest performers ever to emerge from anywhere. I'm assuming I'm the constipated one here, Stuart. You're "defending" an artist you thought was "...the most boring and dullest performers ever to emerge from anywhere?" Anyway. I like a lot of O'Sullivan's stuff. ~albabe -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

Dave, I was going to include this in my post also but according to the Dylan lyrics the line is: I'm not looking to fight with you, frighten you or tighten you" But it sure did sound like The Byrds sang it as "uptighten", which would work actually better than Dylan's original.

Actually Paul, being an American Nina fan doesn't help anymore than being a Brit one. I always thought she picked the name as a kind of joke. Not exactly the type of character you'd think would go by the name Peaches considering how rough Nina made her out to be. However, it could be along the lines of A Boy Named Sue. The name is the reason for all that rage. Always loved Nina's cover of "Don't Pay Them Any Mind", "The Man With the Horn" and "This Is All I Ask". -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

ACJ, I don't imagine that another group recorded the waltz version of this track. However, in 1968, my cousin Frank who had just completed boot camp with the Marine Corp at the infamous Paris Island training facility sent me a compilation Lp which among its tracks included The Moby Grape's 805, as well as the Buckinghams singing I'll Be Back.

I sure don't, but Margaret Jones's bio of Patsy offers a few clues that help me arrive at one possible scenario. Back in Virginia, before her success, Cline cut a number of songwriter demos at one or more of the local studios. According to Jones, after the success of "Walking After Midnight" (or perhaps it was after her death, I can't recall) some of those recordings were spirited out of one of those studios by Cline's husband Charlie Dick, their contents never to publicly surface. The possibility that "If You Don't Believe ..." might've been among them would depend on Dick's verification having been in error (either inadvertently or willfully); on Cline's version of the song having been a songwriter demo rather than a cover; and on that demo having somehow made its way into your uncles' hands, and then back out again. All a bit far-fetched, I'll admit, but perhaps not entirely out of the question. --Phil M. -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

Austin, I don't know if Mike Brown was involved with the Cherry People. I have an Lp by this group from 1968 and can take a look. For clarification, are you referring to the same Cherry People some or all of whose members were also members of The Hangmen, a Washington D.C. area based group from 1965-66?

Believe it or not, I used to wonder the same thing (though I'm American), and just four or so years ago I had the chance-of-a- lifetime conversation with Dr. Simone and actually asked her this very question . . . after discussing my admiration for the song at ample length to sway her into thinking I wasn't a total idiot. Her reply was, "Honey, does Peaches sound like a killer's name to you? They MADE her angry, she wasn't BORN like that!" So "Peaches" was just meant to convey that this character was once as full of sweetness and light as any child. Dee -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

Message: 17 Date: Sat, 27 Dec 2003 14:59:13 +0000 From: Richard Williams Subject: Re: Beatles covers/"uptight"/Sixties geniuses/Harry Lookofsky 1. Late entries for great Beatles covers: Roy Redmond's "Good Day Sunshine", J.J.Barnes' "Day Tripper" and two versions of "I've Just Seen a Face", by the Dillards and Holly Cole. 2. Interesting comments on "uptight". The question now puzzling amateurs lexicographers must be, how and why did it reverse its original (negative) meaning so briefly (circa '66, cf Stevie Wonder and Andy Warhol) before reverting? 3. I second Paul Bryant's defence of Bob Dylan's performances of his own songs without reservation, but I question his selection of Lennon, McCartney, Dylan and Wilson as the four geniuses of Sixties music. Was there no black writer or performer fit to be considered their equal? Not Smokey Robinson, Curtis Mayfield or James Brown? If you listen to the music that's around today, Brown had as much influence as anyone, with the possible exception of Dylan. And personally, much as I loved the Beatles, I'd put Holland-Dozier- Holland up there with Lennon and McCartney. 4. Harry Lookofksy (the father of the Left Banke's Michael Brown) is a familiar name from Sixties and Seventies album covers, but I bet he never did a better day's work than his solo on Gil Evans's "Zee Zee", from the album Where Flamingos Fly (A&M, 1981). The tune is a sort of blues based on a Basque dance in 5/4, and Lookofsky plays a tenor violin, apparently tuned an octave lower than the regular model. And a happy new year to all those members whose erudition and enthusiasm keeps introducing me (and no doubt many others) to wonderful stuff I'd somehow missed.

Message: 18 Date: Sat, 27 Dec 2003 15:20:02 -0000 From: Martin Roberts Subject: Ricky Ticky Ta Ta Ta, Johnny Cymbal, Jerome Brothers Hello Austin, I have your second 45 on Philips, "Ricky Ticky Ta Ta Ta". It's what I'd describe as a bright, breezy and bouncy piece of late 60s pop, very popular with many of the 'poppers on the site. It's not just the "shanga lang" chorus that puts me in mind of the early Bay City Rollers and Rubettes, I wonder if they were listening?! Playing now at musica to let the people decide: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/spectropop/files/musica/ You're credited as writer of both sides, how did your connection with the Jeromes come about? Did you turn up at their door with sheaves of songs and say, "Go on, make me a star", or did they spot you? And what was it like working with them? The site really does have some incredibly knowledgeable people on it but the input from folk such as yourself, Mike, Alan, Artie, Al, James, Carol etc etc who actually made the records is a major factor in Spectropop being so special. Thanks for sharing your comments on Johnny Cymbal, good to hear of his sense of humour. There can't be many who hear Mr. Bassman without a grin on their face.

(Does Frankie even qualify as R&R?) Bill, Nice to say hello to you again.As far as I can tell from my memory, picture sleeves were issued universally, if it was deemed for the artist. I think a picture sleeve was released if the record company had the money, and also if the artist was popular enough to merit one. Picture sleeves were a god way to promote the artists's likeness and I.D... Paul Anka had no picture sleeve for Diana, his first release for ABC-Paramount..however, realizing that Paul was a hit, they subsequently put him on picture sleeves. I think it helped bolster his career. Steveo -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

S.J. There is an explanation for Bobby Vee's vocals sounding like they did. He did the show prior to an operation that he had to have performed on his throat. There were a couple of problem areas in his throat that I won't get into here, but they had to be addressed, and they were taken care of by a surgeon in Nashville who regularly does these types of procedures on singers. He now sounds more like his old self thanks to that procedure. Bob -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

Whilst not exactly overenamoured of the song myself, I do find that it is far more palatable when one listens to the X-Rated Version. This has a far longer spoken intro, and alters the meaning of the song considerably. It starts off with the 'lady' being called 'the Baddest Bitch' he's ever known, and accuses her of beating him up for the two years they have been sleeping together .. in fact he has been at the hospital so much the staff know him very well. I don't know if it was released as a regular single, but it does exist as a DJ copy .. Columbia AS 263 (ZSP 162527), is in Mono and the lable copy does state 'Warning. Not Recommended For Airplay'. Of course, with the junk played today, I guess this is quite tame, but in 1976 I believe it safe to say a few eyebrows would have been raised ... The B side is also Rated X - I Kinda Missed You. -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

It appears from what i can find, that Logan was a songwirter out of West Virginia originally, met Price somehow before the Korean war. Price then went into the army, came out and resumed his relationship with Logan. However, Price and Logan moved to Washington D.C at this time. I feel that Logan probably contributed to some song material, but that Price was the main man musically. If anyone has any info on their writing partner ship, I'd be interested in hearing about it. I'm also interested in where and how Price met Logan. Steveo -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------
Message: 25 Date: Sat, 27 Dec 2003 08:43:04 -0800 (PST) From: Watson Macblue Subject: All This and World War II I have actually seen this masterpiece of Deranged Cinema - once. The BBC (or Channel 4 - anyway, someone who should have known better) actually transmitted it in the earlyish 90s. Imagine a cross between the Bee Gees' Sergeant Pepper and Triumph of the Will; older British Spectropoppers might think that the editor of All Our Yesterdays (remember?) has been at the pills again. The largest part of the production budget must have been the rights payments to Pathe, as it's all documentary footage, cut in a cool, hip (aaargh!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Yuk!!) way to Beatles tunes sung by anyone who could be persuaded, bribed or blackmailed into taking part on one of the weirdest, phoniest, dumbest offshoots of Beatlemania. I can remember raising a weary smile to "Here Comes The Sun King" cut to footage of Pearl Harbor, but I'm strange that way. I remember someone once saying that telling Bryan Ferry you had a copy of his ATAWW2 version of She's Leaving Home would earn you a face similar to the one you get by telling someone I Have The Negatives. Do your mind a favor, fellas. Give this one a miss. God, I feel all strange now ... Watson -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------
