Message: 3 Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2004 04:14:14 -0000 From: Mark Subject: Late Monkees I don't really know exactly what they were trying to accomplish with Head and with that abominable special. Their audience was the pre-teens, the 8 to 14 year old age group. That's the group I was in. That's who they were making music for. The Beatles weren't for us, they were for the older teenagers. So The Monkees completely abandoned the audience they had in order to try to win acceptance from the audience that wanted nothing to do with them. The complete failure of Head (in theatres for about 5 minutes) and 33 and a third (terrible ratings) pretty much showed that at that point they were pleasing themselves and no one else. But that's fine, they forgot about us, we forgot about them. And other acts came along that didn't mind catering to our age group (Ohio Express, 1910 Fruitgum Company, The Cowsills, The Archies, The Partridge Family). The sad thing is that even 30 years later The Monkees still don't get it. They released Justus, which was maybe the worst record I've ever heard. Great idea, trying to do grunge. As if that's what Monkees fans want to hear. As if any grunge fans would be caught dead listening to a Monkees album. Way to know your audience. -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

Larry, I think thge Monkees were out to prove they could write, and play instruments and produce their own music for an Lp. It might also be that they wanted their single to be a more "sure" true and tested writer, so they chose the classics "Pleasant Valley Sunday" and Boyce-Hart's "Words". Just my guess.

Was it the follow up > or did it precede "I Can't Quit Her"? Was "I Love You More > Than You'll Ever Know" released as a single? Al Kooper: > Using just this grey-haired head, I'm pretty sure I Cant Quit > Her was the ONLY single from that first album. Yes, "I Can't Quit Her" was the only 45 from "Child". I wish "Just One Smile" had been also. Has anyone besides me noticed how hard it is to find even a Dj copy of this? I've never seen a store copy. I've only seen my Dj copy and I've only had it a couple of years. Being a 45 fanatic, I was ecstatic to finally get it. I got the Arbors' Dj 45 when it came out, but only 5 years ago did I get a STEREO dj 45 of it! Wonder what Al thinks of the Arbors' version? I love it. Again, it really sounds so much different from BST, that it seems like a different song. For the record, I love all versions of the BST group. Besides Al, David CT, "Sometimes In Winter" is an incredible song and later ones like "So Long Dixie" and "Roller Coaster" and even "Got To Get You Into My Life" are great listens too. Funny, in 68, I didn't get a Columbia supplied "I Can't Quit Her", but I got Al' great "You Never Know Who Your Friends Are"in a mono/stereo Dj with a great pic sleeve of his "friends" having Al tied up! Al, were these people on the sleeve friends? The pic sleeve back had the lyrics and 4 Lps Al worked on pictured. Wish they'd done that with the BST single!!

Message: 8 Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2004 06:50:11 -0000 From: Clark Besch Subject: Bo Gentry & Richie Cordell With all the writers and producers who were also artists, how bout Bo Gentry and Richie Cordell? The did great with the Tommy James stuff. About the time Tommy started producing his own records, Bo and Richie started recording for Columbia, similar to Austin Roberts and Alan Gordon did as writer/artists. Bo and Richie's "Love is Here" 45 is GREAT! They did steal John and Paul's "tit tit tit...", but a greatly crafted pop song that was top 10 in Wichita, but anywhere else?? Their only other Columbia 45, "Stone Go Getter" (I think the title) was not so hot, in my opinion. Can't remember what happened after they parted with Tommy James. Did Alan Gordon or Al Kooper ever work with them at Columbia or know what became of them? Like Boyce & Hart, they were quickly gone, it seemed.

Message: 9 Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2004 07:05:22 -0000 From: Clark Besch Subject: First Cut Is The Deepest What is with this song? I have heard some female country singer doing this, now. I think it was Sheryl Crow. Yes, it is a great song, but it has been done to death without ever being a big hit. Why keep recording it? I guess it's timeless?? I liked Cat Stevens, the Koobas (thanks Doug Richard for turning me on to that one) and P.P. Arnold's was ok. My fave version is the big production by Keith Hampshire. When Rod Stewart did it, I didn't like it and this new version is worse. Too many versions of a good song that may never be a huge hit. It would be tough to be one of the many great writers here and have some guy (Cat) write a song that gets recorded over and over and doesn't care about the royalties!

Message: 10 Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2004 07:08:05 -0000 From: Clark Besch Subject: Re: Monkees "I Wanna Be Free" Altho, "I Wanna Be Free" wasn't a 45 A or B for the Monkees, it was a "B" side and came with a pic sleeve by Boyce & Hart, its' writers. So, Steveo, you were correct, kinda. It was B of "L.U.V. (Let Us Vote)". The Monkees did a different arrangement from the Lp version on the TV show that has since been released.

(Beware > the badly botched rerecording of the song that opens their first > Elektra album "Present Tense." The single was perfect...what were > they thinking???) Mike, I heard the Elektra 45 first and really like the cold ending on it. As often is the case, the version you first hear sometimes seems better. The 3 singles off the Elektra Lp are all great A sides. Reminds me of a cool small label 45 from a little later by Cracker (not the later group) called "What Did I Do?". Same kinda small production like the Bomp Shoes 45 or like "Hook" by the Toms. Great underproduced power pop 1980 period music. Clark -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

James, I could not find that the Apollas song charted in Cashbox or anywhere else that i looked. You are correct on the Flirtations Billboard positions, but the only other Cashbox entry beside their big hit was "Can't stop Loving You" reaching #96 for one week on in 7-11-70. Also, "Nothing but a Heartache" reached #4 on CHUM in Canada. I have 2 videos by the Flirtations that are pretty good as I remember.

Message: 14 Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2004 05:53:26 -0000 From: Clark Besch Subject: Re: Mono vs Stereo Phil Milstein wrote: > I don't quite understand why records needed to be released in both > mono and stereo mixes.... Phil, usually, labels actually did mix mono and then stereo afterwards before stereo became the more popular method of buying. Thus, it was usually not a matter of just folding the two channels together, as they were often first recorded for AM radio sound, thus mono. So, the producer or whoever had to go "make" a stereo mix. This created problems such as weaker vocals when a stereo record with vocals mixed on one side was played in mono. Instruments mixed in the middle of a stereo record when played in mono might bury the vocal in such a case. Sometimes stereo mixes were made out of phase and a vocal completely disappears when played on a mono player. There was a distinct reason for 2 mixes until stereo started getting mixed FIRST and mono second. Playing the mono "Sgt Pepper", I hear definite differences in volumes of things. Imagine that you mixed all those "Mr. Kite" things to get a nice mono mix and then went back and tried by hand to fade these effects in and out in stereo exactly as you had on the mono one. Aargh!

Now that's novelty! "Turn into Peanut Butter"! By the way, I love "Transfusion" and "Mechanical Man" reached #21 on WLS in Chicago, amazingly. May have done better since during the ABC strikes, management at WLS tried to be robots on the air intentionally, sounding much like "Bent Bolt"!

Jim, "Barefoot in Baltimore" is a good record. It is kinda like an "Incense & Peppermints, Pt. 2" to me, which is a Good Thing! "Sandy" is available on their greates hits Cd on Sundazed. The Outsiders songs are on the out of print "Legendary Masters" Cd, but I think that Cd is now issued currently thru Collectibles, I think....Clark -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------
Message: 17 Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2004 18:53:51 -0000 From: Clark Besch Subject: John Beland / DC5 Mike Smith Update / Artie Wayne Hi, When trying to track down the Dillards White Whale 45s, I went to John Beland's website and saw commentary from Austin Roberts about him. Austin, how did you connect with John. I wrote John about a year ago about his first recording in Chicago, an unreleased acetate, "Wake Up Sweet Mary". He has since worked with tons of stars and played in Johnny Tillotson's band. His version of "Baby, You Come Rollin Cross My Mind" was a hit in Kansas when I was growing up. Somewhat like Lobo later did with "Me & You & A Dog Named Boo", John's version of "Rollin.." had a short version store 45 and one with a great longer intro that sets up the story just like Lobo did later. Anyway, John does a terrific job. He later was in the Flying Burrito Bros and did tons of sessions as well as a solo Lp on Scepter in the early 70's with the single "Banjo Man" by the re-named John Edward Beland. Lobo makes me think of Kyle. His one Lp for Paramount in the early 70's was popular here in Lincoln. I really liked it too. He now produces country artists, if I remember correctly. Loved his "Think I'm Gonna Rain". Great vocal. >From the DC5 Mike Smith site, he is improving some. He is off the ventilator up to 8 hrs a day instead of the 15 minutes previously. His friend, Madeline Bell was going to be visiting him. Let's hope he continues to improve. Speaking of improving, how are you, Artie Wayne? Long time no hear from!

Mark, I don't know a lot about the Coastliners, but their Backbeat 45 I've heard is good. What I DO know is that they had a name change to the U.S. Males in 68 and had one terrific 45 on a new Abnak distributed label, Brittania. The 45 was a great 2 sider that should have pushed Brittania onto the charts. Instead, it failed and I don't think another 45 came out on that label. One side was a 5 Americans written tune, "Come Out of the Rain", which I really love. A little Grass Roots as far as style, but not really their sound, making it better by not copping anyone's exact sound. The other side is another goodie written by our Spectropopper, Artie Wayne, called "Open Up Your Heart". This more upbeat song is nearer to the Grass Roots sound, I think. This 45 is fairly easy to find, much like the Colours Lp we've spoken of recently. Good stuff--fair price! Clark -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

Bob, even pre-Cd, I believe, is the Lp vs. 45 version of "Pretty Lady" by Lighthouse. The 45 just jumps out at ya and the Lp version is a bit mellower, if my memory is correct.

Does anybody know if > this was a hit in the U.K.? And did she have a song called > "You're My World"? You're my World was a No 1 in summer 1964 in the UK. Across the Universe!?? Didn't know she'd recorded that! What next, Cilla sings I Am the Walrus? Note on solo singers : sometimes it's the song, not the singer. A 24 carat guaranteed hit song can land in the lap of a good-but-not- great singer and wham! they become a one-hit wonder. Little Peggy March was one such, there are many more. Cilla's chart career seems to be a continual parade of very good songs sung fairly badly (except Alfie of course) which should have been hits for somebody else - like Lulu for instance, who actually has a great voice and who had awful songs to sing, hence relatively few hits. I guess it was all down to good and bad management and who got their hands on which songs. pb -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------
Message: 23 Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2004 05:36:28 -0800 (PST) From: Lapka Larry Subject: Monkees "D.W. Washburn" Still behind on the mail but some random thoughts: I thought the Monkees had some fine singles from D.W. Washburn on, with Porpoise Song and Listen to the Band being the best of them. But being the phenomenon that they were, their time was up, and nothing was going to return them to the popularity that they enjoyed during 1966-1968. True, their albums (with the exception of Head) were pretty much horrid, but each one had one or two gems which made purchasing them somewhat worthwhile. I really enjoy the Grass Roots's catalog, from top to bottom. I liked the folk stuff, but really loved the pop stuff, even the material that they put out in the early 1970s after Two Divided By Love (like The Runway). However, I thought that the last Grass Roots album (late 1970s?) was horrid. I kind of liked Rob Grill's solo album, even though it was basically Rob Grill and Fleetwood Mac (yuck!).

I'll inform you via the group when the reviews go up each month. (If anyone wants to submit reviews of particularly interesting releases that we haven't covered, please don't hesitate in contacting me. The more contributors the better!) Issue #7 of the printed magazine is also in preparation -- this will hopefully be ready by the summer. So once again, if anyone has any interest in submitting articles/interviews please contact me pronto. And advertisers, please, please, please get in touch.
