Paul, I agree with you 1000%. When I talk about the music I liked from the
early to mid-70s, when rock was becoming increasingly pompous, leaden and full
of itself, I always single out the power pop contingent of Big Star,
Badfinger, Blue Ash, Raspberries and the Dwight Twilley Band. Man, I loved those first
two albums...and Dwight's first solo LP had several great moments as well.
Your mention brought to mind one of my own spine-chilling moments -- the
lead-up to the guitar solo and the solo itself in "Sincerely." Hell, I'm getting
the chills just now thinking about it!

60's New Zealand band The Avengers also do a nice version of Shadows and
Reflections. It's on their CD "Electric Recordings". The band certainly had good
(and obscure) tastes in covers. They also do Lee Mallory-Take My Hand, Episode
Six-Love,Hate, Revenge and David McWilliams-Days of Pearly Spencer among
others.

The song itself is great -- I bought everything I ever saw in the cheapo bins
from this guy, hoping to find anything half as good. Never did. But the end,
a very long fade, just kind of floats away on this ethereal cloud of
harmonies. Priceless!
Not quite as divine, but similar in spirit, is the ending of the original
BOMP! single of "Tomorrow Night" by The Shoes. (Beware the badly botched
rerecording of the song that opens their first Elektra album "Present Tense." The
single was perfect...what were they thinking???)

Very strange indeed, given the huge reissue market -
pretty much anything you like has been reissued, but
not the complete Buddy. And even stranger, given that
I understood his songs were now owned by McCartney.
So I will continue to treasure my Complete album
box set.
Regarding the overdubbed Buddy - some of it is
great - the Fireballs did wonderful things on, for
instance, What to Do.
Buddy remains my choice for Worst Rock Death. I
know Elvis and Lennon were mourned throughout the
cosmos, but by their demise they has done their work.
I think Buddy was just beginning. (No 2 would be
Hendrix, of course.)
Let the arguments begin.

Subject: Glad I'm here/DW Washburn
First, I would like to thank Country Paul for directing me to this wonderful
site. We worked together at a fine progressive FM'er WHCN in the early/mid
seventies. At WHCN, we were fortunate to have one of the best music
directors in the country on staff.
Larry mentioned the Monkees DW Washburn. The single charted only into the
Top 20. DW was the "A" side but more play was given to "B" side "It's nice
to be with you" which was more characteristic of the Monkees "sound".
Anyone recall almost forgotten Monkees song called "I Wanna be Free"? Not
sure if was a "B" side or an LP track.

MAD Magazine did a flexidisc called "It's A Super Spectacular Day"
along these lines in the late 70's
I have a two 78 set from the 50's on Atlantic Records for Children
called The Ever-So-Many Amzing Adventures of Johnny. Each side had
four grooves for a different stage of a story that could be linked in
any combination. The four grooves dissolved into a common ending on
Side 4 when Johnny discovered the while thing(s) was a dream.
Can't really do it on CD. The randomness of a needle drop doesn't have
a laser counterpart as CD's are more of a precision instrument.
The EP idea is a cool one, but would only work it all the tracks were
of equal length. An even more interesting concept would be a 12"
single with different mixes of the same song on seperate grooves. The
casual listener would have no way of controlling which mix got played.
The MAD disc is a variation on this idea.

The great book The Who - Maximum R&B shows a news clipping whose
caption reads to that effect, accompanied by a pic taken in the studio
of Pete on guitar and Roger Daltrey on bass. So who can tell?

Subject: Re: David McWilliams
Speaking of the intense promotion push for Days of Pearly Spencer--I was
PD of a Purdue radio station when it was released, and we must have
received four or five promo copies of that album over a period of a month
or so. We were lucky to get one promo of anything else, and we usually
had to fight for that.
I think there were two problems with that record. First, the label was
unknown (Major Minor), and distributed by Kapp or Dot or some label
thought of by most of us college kids as 'way behind the times and
unworthy of our attention.
And then there was that pink paisley shirt he wore on the album cover.
Dead on arrival!
By the way, David McWilliams died Jan 9, 2002.

Otis's version of this song forms a minor plot-line in
Nick Hornby's book "High Fidelity". Did this rare
single ever really exist?
And on another Otis Redding query: did he ever record
Dylan's "Just Like A Woman", or does anyone know of a
version of it anywhere? I seem to know three things
about it (facts? myths? who knows..):
1. Dylan wrote it with Otis in mind, and the music
publishers passed it to him before Dylan recorded it.
2. Otis never liked it because of the line about
amphetamines.
3. Otis thought it had "too many words in it", so he
wouldn't cut it.
Otis and Dylan. That would have been a dream ticket.
Almost as good as Buddy Holly and Ray Charles (Buddy
went to see Ray Charles, so the story goes, but Bro.
Ray wasn't at home when he called).

Al, First of all, it's terrific to hear from you and yes, I
agree, that was a great lead guitar on "Midnight Special". :-)
However, the best I can do is tell you that it was played by
EITHER Everett Barksdale or Charley Macey - both outstanding
sidemen and staples of the New York recording scene in the
50s and 60s. (My best guess is that it was Everett.) I believe
(there's that uncertainty again) that the drummer was Buddy
Saltzman. He and Gary were THE New York City drummers at the
time, but I didn't really start to use Gary's talents until I
moved into producing jingles here in the Apple.
Thanks for askin',

Subject: Hand held in Black and White OT
Back to "Liberty Valance", with a cast that included
John Wayne, Lee Marvin and Jimmy Stewart, it's amazing
that it was shot in black and white as late as 1962.
As Phil Spector preferred mono so some film directors
felt certain stories would come over better in monochrome.
TV was mostly B&W and although decreasing at this time
there was still a number of B&W films being released for
the popular market so the distributors would not care too
much. These days only certain Art house movies would be
issued in monochrome.

Good points all, but what it seems to boil down to is that any credits
beyond those for basic melody & lyrics (i.e., that which the song would
amount to in a basic voice/piano or voice/guitar demo) are strictly voluntary.
What I wonder is that since, if I recall correctly, U.S. copyright forms
allow for (yet do not mandate) distinguishing the authors of tune and
words (as opposed to lumping them all in under a single authorship
credit), should instrumental versions of such songs credit (and
compensate) only the composer?
Al Kooper wrote:

I have read variously that this song was commissioned for the movie but
ultimately not included, or that it was written after the movie came
out, and in response to it (as per Buddy Holly writing That'll Be The
Day upon seeing The Searchers). Anyone know which was the real story?

Rob Stride:
John's got a point! McCartney had a brilliant Rock n Roll Voice.
It's all to easy to big up Lennon (as I do) and forget the
contribution of Macca to Rock n Roll Musical History. McCartney
doesn't make it any easier by singing about "Puppy Dogs Tails"
in the 80's. You could get away with that in the 50's & 60's but
he did lose the plot around that time. BUT The Vocals on "Oh
Darling" is a showcase to anyone who's anyone that McCartney
could sing Rock N Roll.

Or "I'm Down", in which Paul updates Little Richard by about 6

Dan Hughes:
My cousin and I are are the same age. He went to high school in
Minneapolis, I in Indianapolis, both of us in the class of 1965.
We sent each other letters weekly. I remember him asking me in one
letter if I was a Beatlemaniac yet. I had no idea what he was
talking about. He told me they were a group from Britain and they
were taking America by storm. So I started listening more carefully
to the radio, and when the DJ announced a Beatles song (I Want To
Hold Your Hand, of course), I was surprised. I had heard that song
several times over the past couple of weeks, thought it was catchy
and nice, but didn't realize that this was the group causing all
the fuss.

Subject: Felman, Gottehrer, Goldstein - sixties discography
FELDMAN, GOTTEHRER, GOLDSTEIN
This is an incomplete list of sixties records written and produced
by the team of Bob Feldman, Richard Gottehrer and Jerry Goldstein.
I've only listed the original versions excluding records such as
The Merseys's "Sorrow" where FGG's only involvement is as writers.
It's not entirely consistent in that I've listed FGG songs recorded by
artists such as Bobby Vee but I felt those should be listed as I
haven't been able to find versions with stronger FGG involvement.
The list is in as close to chronological order as I could manage
without spending weeks in trying to get it in exact order. The list
in the main stops at 1967 as by then the team had dissolved when
Jerry Goldstein joined the newly formed UNI label as a staff producer.
Feldman and Gottehrer continued to collaborate but on an occasional
basis as Gottehrer was involved in founding Sire (initially as a
production company and later an important label). Feldman mainly
worked with new partners Gene Allan and Ronnie Dante on projects for
Roulette, Kapp and other labels - those will have to wait for another
time.
If anyone wants to send in additions or corrections I'd be happy to
incorporate the information into a more complete listing which could
be used as a Spectropop spotlight feature.
One thing which would improve the list is more exact relase dates for
the records involved - the dates given are as exact as I could make
them but should be taken as estimates pending more exact information
becoming available to me. If any Spectropoppers have copies of sixties
trade papers and would be prepared to send me scans of the singles
review pages from Billboard, Cashbox, Record World or Variety it would
greatly improve the accuracy of these lists (as well as making me a very
happy:-))

Mike (and you and I are always on the same page), I know you're right.
Particularly because most people don't realize that the original Isley
lyrics don't go "Twist little girl", they go "Listen little girl". I
myself have performed this song 100s of times, and it never occurs to
me to do anything but the Lennon version with that great G-G#-A-Bb-B-C
....C9 ending!

The version I remember was a horse race game. I believe there were seven
horses per side, and seven concenctric grooves to the 12" record, each
announcing a different winner. A friend of mine used to have this game
-- it was more fun to listen to the record, and fantasize about the
possibilities of the concentric-groove format, than it was to play the
game the way it was supposed to be played.
