Subject: This Diamond Composer
I can remember getting in a friendly argument with the
late, great Rick Danko about "This Diamond Ring". I'd
asked him about the Bandish lp on Atco by Roger
Tillison when Rick mentioned Roger writing "This
Diamond Ring". I said it was written by Al Kooper, but
Danko kept saying it was Roger. Did Roger have
anything to do with the tune?

Subject: The Clinger Sisters Spotlight Radio Show
I hope some of you were able to tune in to the Clinger Sisters radio
show I did last night - it was a final dream come true to be able to
spotlight the girls in this way, I think I enjoyed this show the
best of all the ones I've done. And to think I still don't have all
of their music collected yet.
The Clinger Sisters Spotlight Radio Show with DJ Patrick
Fri. Jan. 16th 2004 6.00pm–7.00pm
The Clinger Sisters "Shoop Shoop De Boop Rama Lama Ding Dong Yeah
Yeah Yeah" from 45 (Tollie 1964)
The Clinger Sisters "Golly Mom" from 45 single (Tollie 1964)
The Clinger Sisters "Puppet" from 45 single (Tollie 1964)
The Clingers "Lean Back Baby" from 45 single (Jo-Bee 1965)
The Clingers "How About Him" from 45 single (Jo-Bee 1965)
The Clingers "Gonna Have A Good Time" from 45 single (Columbia 1969)
The Clingers "And Now You Know Me" from 45 single (Columbia 1969)
The Clingers "Good Day Sunshine" Live on Smothers Brothers show 1969)
Cattanooga Cats "How Did I Ever Get So Lucky" from Cattanooga Cats
LP (Curb 1968)
Cattanooga Cats "My Birthday Suit" from Cattanooga Cats LP (Curb
1968)
The Rock Flowers "Double Scoop" from Naturally LP (Wheel 1972)
The Rock Flowers "Number Wonderful" from s/t LP (Wheel 1971)
The Rock Flowers "What's So Good About Goodbye" from Naturally LP
(Wheel 1972)
The Rock Flowers "Sing My Song" came with Rock Flower doll (Mattel
1971)
The Rock Flowers "Sweet Times" came with Rock Flower doll (Mattel
1971)
Cher "I Hate To Sleep Alone" Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves (MCA 1971)
Cymbal and Clinger "A Little Bit No, A Little Bit Yes" from s/t
(Chelsea 1973)
Dallas (Johnny Cymbal and Peggy Clinger) "Take You Where The Music's
Playing" from 45 (Marina 1970)
Bill Cowsill "Wish I Could Say The Same About You" from Nervous
Breakthrough (MGM 1971)
David Cassidy "Rock Me Baby" from 45 (Bell 1972)
The Partridge Family "I Got Your Love All Over Me" from Crossword
Puzzle (Arista 1973)
Kaptain Kool and The Kongs "You Saved Me" from s/t (Epic 1977)
(dates of release are approximate)
I received only 2 calls during the show, and one of them was my wife
recognizing the Rock Flowers Sing My Song, which I too hadn't really
listened to in awhile - what a delight :). The other call was
regarding the first song of the evening - Shoop Shoop De Boop Rama
Lama Ding Dong Yeah Yeah Yeah - which is one of the few Clinger
Sisters songs available on cd (thanks to Mick Patrick for pointing
this one out) on Chapel Of Love and other great girl group gems
(Castle Pulse PBXCD 353 3 cd set). Listening to the girls go from
that song and it's "yeah, yeah yeah"s to their Kim Fowley/Michael
Lloyd produced cover of the Easybeats Gonna Have A Good Time in a
matter of minutes is awe inspiring. When I listen to the songs like
this, I can picture a movie in my head, the young Mormon girls from
Utah trying to hit the big time (under - of all people - Kim
Fowley's wing, how fitting), and the various paths they take once
huge fame passes them by. And yet somehow they pave the way for
other all female rock bands of the future.
Hopefully the girls little spot in recorded history will be
documented in a cd collection someday. It's a shame the Kim Fowley
song didn't make the latest cd compilation of his, even though that
song has been available on various compilations, I don't think it's
ever been reissued on cd. It sounds astounding from 45, I'm sure it
could sound amazing on cd.
If you missed the radio show last night, and are curious to hear
something, the shows are usually archived within a few days here:

Am I the only American here nutty enough to go to the U.K. to hear
this? I am giving it serious thought. Van Dyke Parks, who co-wrote
SMILE has been working with Brian to make the arrangements true to
the original.I have heard the Pet Sounds tour at the Roxy, Hollywood

Hi Ed!
I would be very grateful for an MP3 of the 2004 version of this tune. Can't wait to hear how the lyrics might vary in keeping with the times.
It may be something I can write about in the syndicated "Mr. Music" newspaper feature. Here's the online edition:

Alas, I was a bit hasty in my reply and didn't check my facts properly.
For the record, on the Robbee, World or HAC labels, "Produced by Lennie
& Lou" refers to Lennie Martin and [later World Artists owner] Lou
Guarino, NOT Lou Christie. However, Lou Christie DOES sing back-ups on
Marcy Jo's first two Robbee records. On my copy of "Since Gary...", the
singer is listed as Marcy Joe (with an E). Marcy Jo is her more usual
billing. A tip: for anything remotely related to Lou Christie, ask
Harry Young!

I just enjoyed listening to Only Yesterday, but for the all other

Anyone who loves Brian Wilson's music ought to try and check out Jeff
Foskett's CD 'Twelve And Twelve'. There are different artists
partnering Jeff on each of the tracks and on one Brian sings
'Everything I Need'. Though that is the only BW track many of the
others show BW's influence on Jeff's work. Jeff is of course in Brian's
touring band and was a member of the Beach Boys road band for many
years.

Hello, Mark
I too am interested in the Amy, Mala, and Bell labels and have quite
a few of their releases...in fact, I recently purchased the Sundazed
soul compilation devoted to these labels. I give this compilation
mixed reviews, but it was a worthy effort. I'll definitely check out
your club.
One record that I have on this label that may be of interest is by a
group called the Innovation, titled "Your Time's Gonna Come", which
is an Ellie Greenwich production. It's on Amy 11032. Ever run across
this one?

It's very interesting how Terry Cashman (Minogue) touched

(Left Banke,Reparata etc) at Phillips Records who signed me
that week.Wow,what a break having Dennis as head of Ampco\Pamco

Well, Al Martino, PJ Proby, Eddy Ames, Eddy Arnold, Tommy Hunter

There's a scene in the film documenting the Beatles

at the Plaza Hotel. On there way there in the car, they
have these give-a-way "Pepsi" transistor radios. Paul is
listening toyour song "Navy Blue" by Diane Renay. Just

Ironically,Brian Wilson pulls a "Phil".I wonder if it
was before or after Phil's incident.This is where
Brian is on the plane with the Beach Boys and he has
kind of a nervous Breakdown.He wants the plane to turn
around so he can get off.

Subject: Re. Mary In The Morning
Hi all,
With regard to the several posts on "Mary In The Morning,"
I'd like to add two points:
1. I stated that The Association turned it down. That is
shorthand. I don't know anyone who was in that group and I
don't know who made the decision. I do know that Jerry Yester
was the producer who was looking for material, that he got the
demo and that he gave the thumbs down to Terry Cashman.
2. On a more positive note (and certainly self-congratulatory);
given the numerous Al Martino re-packages, the "Gentle On My Mind"
album (which was/is one of the all-time best selling LPs),the
several Presley compilations on which MITM has been included,
Time-Life TV offers, plus the other records--it seems realistic
that the song may have total sales of 10 million--and that ain't
chopped liver. Right Phil M.?
Di la,
Rashkovsky

I am in the process of making a compilation (for my own use, of course)
of those neat backwards B-sides of hit singles that were deliberately
pressed to prevent double-side hit exposures. Here's what I have so
far:
aaaH-aH, yawA eM ekaT oT gnimoC er'yehT -- Napoleon XIV -- Warner
5831 (exact same recording of A-side in reverse)
ereH er'uoY sA gnoL sA -- Zalman Yanovsky -- Buddah 12 (reverse
version of A-side without vocal track)
Zig Zag -- Ohio Express -- Buddah 38 (instrumental backwards version
of 1910 Fruitgum Company's version of "Poor Old Mr. Jensen", which
was released on Buddah's next single, #39)
Dom's Frantic Pandemonium -- Carnaby Street Runners -- Buddah 30
(combination of two instrumental B-sides by Jamie Lyons Group:
Flowers To Sunshine (Laurie 3422) and Heart Full O'Soul II (Laurie
3427)
Flash -- Music Explosion -- Laurie 3440
Candy Kisses -- 1910 Fruitgum Co. -- Buddah 71 (includes a riff from
Willie Dixon's classic "Spoonful")
Pow Wow -- 1919 Fruitgum Co. -- Buddah 91 (backwards ode to Howdy
Doody)
Bitter Lemon -- Ohio Express -- Buddah 92 (backwards version of its A-
side, "Sweeter Than Sugar")
To You With Love -- Kasenetz-Katz Super Cirkus -- Buddah 82 (Fragment
of its A-side, "I'm In Love With You", with the Super K guys going
one step further by slowing down to 16 RPM!)
noollaB wolleY -- Yellow Balloon -- Canterbury 508 (With nothing else
to place on the B-side at the time, this is what was decided)
That's it for now. I'm sure there are other ones out there, so if
anybody can help me out with some titles, I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks.

Thanks Artie, Your positive spirit is why you were such
a success, but:
I once did contact them--they didn't know the song. Then I
got a snide letter from Gerry Teifer saying basically --
Lindy Blaskey and our staff do not require your assistance in
seeking to promote this song.
Again, not that long ago I was in touch with (Eddie Lambert's son
and Dennis Lambert's nephew), Brian Lambert at Universal. Pretty
much the same thing as I remember it--didn't know the song existed.
Ces't la vie, you never can tell--but you sure get the message.
They can take the heart out of you. It sold 10mm and they don't
know it exists!
Don't get me started.

Doug - I spent a good bit of time trying to find "Mouth Music" and
finally got a copy. Oddly enough though Amazon has all of a sudden
been getting releases from EM and they have 5 copies, all expensive
but well worth the price. The liner notes are in English and very
well done. EM is a great label but the distribution of the releases
is very poor.
I too would love to hear Louis Phillipe's record. I have one song by
the guy and it's very well done.
I'm sorry to say that I just don't put Peter Lacey in the same
category as Chris White, Chris Rainbow or Jeff Foskett (as mentioned
by Richard). I've tried to listen but can't get past the singing.

Shame there wasnt a LP - those two tracks would have sounded "Great
in STEREO" (like those old MGM albums). Dunhill really was looking
for the next Mamas & Papas after they hit big, lots of interesting
soft pop from that label. (Rainbow Ship, Lamp of Childhood)

Will anyone who knows Alan Jackson, Trace Adkins (or, for

Substantial reward will be paid for directions or connections

Back in the day, I always thought the Ohio Express sounded like the

Hi Ed,
Great production! I love what you did with the lyric. Thanks for
giving us the opportunity to hear it.

This fourth note of the arpeggio thingy might be getting a
little bit anorak. While people like you and I might enjoy
and understand what you are on about, we could be leaving
a lot of people in this out in the cold, or just a little
frightened. I do think that sometimes that we over analyse
things to the point of destruction. And I mean no offence
Regards,
Rob
(Five foot 7 inches, although it is said that I look five foot
six and a half in some photos, and that the weight that I say
I am is not really what the photo shows, I also claim to use
a Strat 'though sometime I play a Ray Cooper Dan Electro and
play a Yamaha drum kit. But it could be be a 67 Ludwig (RINGO)
as when the light shines on it you can't actually see the logo
and I have a microphone called Nigel and the hair on my big toe
would suggest I am a Libra etc)
