Subject: Re: Beatle Mania LP
I really think most kids and young adults would have known the
difference between these knock-offs and the real fab 4 Lps. For one
thing, they knew what the Beatles looked like very quickly and most
of these knockoffs had wig drawings or guys with moptops whose faces
certainly didn't resemble the Beatles. If the kids WERE fooled, it
would likely have been in January or February 1964, when very few of
these records were out. There WERE plenty of "takeoffs" on the
music, but not many Lps featuring Beatles songs for imitation only
that I remember. I'd guess many of these Lps sold were to adults
trying to please their kids with a Beatles lp, and thought, "Hey,
here's a cheaper copy!" A great example of how strange these songs
got in imitating the Beatles was the kinda hillbilly "She's the One"
by the Chartbusters. It went into the top 40, and I really like it,
but it's funny to think people thought this to be the Beatles. Clark

You're not alone on this issue. Miami Steve Van Zandt did a similar
bit about seeing Solomon Burke and how he hated seeing acts ignore
their own material for other artist's stuff. I think it was "Cry To
Me" that Steve wanted to hear for the encore, but got "Proud Mary"
instead! What was he thinking?

New member, Van, here. I've been enjoying the diverse subjects and
the obvious knowledge being batted around. I had to laugh at Simon's
rendition of Sinatra's bizarre noise toward the end of his version
of "Downtown." That's it exactly! Like Jackie Gleason doing his
Reginald Van Gleason when he sees something that disgusts him. My
wife heard it once and asked in astonishment, What did he do that f
or?"
Wouldn't it have been interesting to be at the recording session and
see the look on Sinatra's face when he sang(?) this. Was he smiling,
was he making fun of the song, did he think he was being hip? I don't
know enough about the man to make a guess.
I think this is on the same album with "Summer Wind" which is, for my
money, one of the most evocative "summer" songs ever recorded. I can
listen to it in the middle of a winter blizzard and be swept back to
a youthful summer - and I don't know that I ever heard it when I was
a kid (my mom was a Dean Martin fan), so for me that underscores it's brilliance. But what a great laugh and what fun to read a post that
mentions something that you've wondered if any one else has noticed.
I look forward to more fun and education! Thanks all.

Can't remember, Simon, it's now 40 years since I heard it. But a
cry of "mop mop" was popular among the jump blues fraternity in the
late 40s, where Sinatra lived..

I pointed this out in an earlier thread, but when I saw the (phony)
Shangri-las a few years back, they did exactly two Shangri-las songs
in the course of their entire hour and a half performance!
I think the answer to your question is that the acts you've gone to
see have gone from artists to entertainers. Their audiences are
composed mainly of people for whom music is a casual diversion rather
than a passion, and audience members such as you and I are few and
far between.
Put another way: mass taste sucks. This isn't exactly a news flash,
but it's an immutable truth.

Subject: King's Ransom on CD
Popsters, Last year you may recall the unearthing of three unreleased
tracks from Pennsylvania band The King's Ransom. I'm happy to report
that two of those tracks will be included on soon to be released
compilations by Arf Arf records. Some of you may know the label's
owner Erik Lindgren through record sales or by previous CD releases.
The cover of "Ain't that just like me" and the original tune "Without
you" will appear on Party, Party, Party and Sigh, Cry, Die respectively.
The King's Ransom penned the classic garage band tune "Shame" recorded
at Frank Virtue studio in Philadelphia. I just thought some of the
garage fans out there might like to know about this development.
Cheers, Neil Hever

When you figure it out, please let me know. You've just pounced upon
one of my hugest peeves with oldies acts. (I'll grant some slack if
their original albums or flip sides had those covers on them, and give
them extra points for doing new material AS WELL AS the stuff I came
to see/hear. Recent example: The Edsels - half a dozen lame covers,
barely worthy of a fifth-rate hotel lounge act, then finally they got
to "What Brought Us Together" and "Rama Lama Ding Dong." By then I -
and about half the audience - were so disillusioned we hardly cared.
And their own were the best songs of the night.

So how did a teen-idol-looking white guy get such a funky delivery? I
have his version of "I Saw Him Standing There" on Original Sound, and
he sounds like a 65-year-old black blues singer. Incredible. Oh yeah -
great reading of the song, too.

Cool story. And sad Abba-related news, as Polar Studios - their hit
factory - says it will close:
------
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - The sounds of ABBA, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling
Stones have bounced off its padded walls. Now, Sweden's most famous
recording studio, Polar Studios, must shut its doors because the owners
can't pay the rent.
"It's a mistake being made right now," said Lennart Oestlund, part-owner
and one of the studio's original sound engineers. "I see it as a museum
of Swedish music history, especially ABBA."
The Swedish pop quartet's record label started the studio in 1978 and
the group recorded its last three albums there. But the first big album
recorded at Polar Studios was Led Zeppelin's "In Through the Out Door"
in 1978.
Hundreds of bands and solo artists followed, including the Backstreet
Boys, Genesis, the Beastie Boys, the Cardigans and Roxette - making Polar
Studios a hot spot on the international music scene.
Oestlund said he and studio co-owners Tomas and Marie Ledin pay $184,000
a year in rent to the housing cooperative that owns the building on
Kungsholmen, one of many islands that make up Stockholm.
"It's almost double the market rent," he said, adding that attempts to
bring payments down had failed. "Two-thirds of our revenue goes to rent."
Oestlund said the five-room studio would close in May and probably be
turned into office space. He hasn't given up on music, though, and hopes
to set up a new studio elsewhere.
"I'll keep a mixer board and some microphones and try to start a new
operation on a smaller scale," he said.

I don't know the specific details of how "Franklin Street" fells into
Dora Hall's hands, but a rough sense of the answer seems to lie within
the stories of Al Hazan, as relayed from right under the Spectropop
umbrella, at http://www.spectropop.com/JackNitzsche/earlydays.htm .
There you will find Al's tale of "discovering" Dora, in 1963. And since
Al was a musical partner of Jack Nitzsche, who was in turn a musical
partner of Jackie DeShannon, it's not hard to imagine the chain that
brought "Franklin Street" to Dora.

Subject: WCFL Jingle to Musica/Al Kooper
Hi, with all the talk about songs being in commercials, one I really
liked in 68 was the WCFL Chicago's Jim Stagg jingle I posted to
Musica. In this period, they opened long jingles with music from a
hit record of the day. One such was Boyce & Hart's "Alice Long"
which is a surprising usage, since it was not a huge hit. Another
such is Blood, Sweat & Tears' "I Can't Quit Her" used here for Jim
Stagg. Wonder what Al thinks of using an opening and turning it into
the glorification of a DJ??!! At least, Jim Stagg was a terrific
DJ! Take care, Clark

Subject: Re: commercially speaking/ Happy Together
Two weeks ago I got a call from Mark Volman. He was upset about the
Applebees spot, that he was getting very negative feedback from the
Turtles fans. He said they were going to sue the restaurant, and that I
was going to get a call from David Segal from the Washington Post. The
Post called me an hour later. He asked me how I felt about the lyric
change, I told him that the song was written about a girl, and her name
wasn't "Steak And Shrimp". Yes I was annoyed at the change in the lyric,
but the thrust of my response, which I reiterated twice was "with all the
craziness that's going on in the world today, this doesn't amount to a
hill of beans" {thank you Mr. Bogart, from Casablanca}. The reporter left
that out of the article.
I have no legal control of the situation. I have now been reassured by
the publishers that I will be consulted in the future. To be perfectly
honest with you I don't care what changes people make with most of my
songs, but "Happy Together" is very very special to Garry and myself,
and apparently to a lot of people and I will be very careful not to let
ANY changes be made.
Now as for my friend Phil Milstein regarding how my accountant feels. He
never mentions these things as long as I pay my taxes!
Commercials and movies etc. are a very important part of a writers
survival, so I am most grateful when anyone chooses my songs, wouldn't
YOU Be? Anyway, the next time I ever speak to the media I will hearken to
the Al Kooper credo "Don't Speak To The Media". I have to go now, I just
got an inspiration for a new song "I Left My HAT in San Francisco".

I have a strong suspicion that descions were made on some of Dora's
releases by somone with a good ear. Her version of "Pretty Boy'' has a full-
on L.A. dance backing track, and I reckon if is wasn't produced by the great
H.B. Barnum then grits ain't groceries and Mona Lisa was a man. A different
version of "Pretty Boy" has recently turned up on an acetate here in
Southern England. The artist is so far unidentified.

The business at Downey, CA's Wenzel's Music Town was very good when it
eventually closed a couple of years ago. Whenever I went into the shop, there
were always several people browsing through their singles and used LP racks,
and another few customers on the "rare LP" side of the shop. Wenzel's
stocked a few choice CDs of oldies, vocal groups, surf, swing and regional
rockabilly, but I will always remember it for its huge wall of 45s. All singles
were numbered and kept in slots on the wall. For a quarter, you could buy a
hefty list of all the available 45s.
Normally, either Tom or Maxine was on the phone answering vinyl questions.
LA oldies radio station K-RTH 101 was always playing in the background.
On a related note, another semi-legendary Downey record store, Middle Earth
Records. closed just a few months ago. Middle Earth had been in operation
since the early 70s, and was the complete opposite of Wenzel's, devoting its
retail space to punk, new wave, grunge and all brands of heavy metal.

The Chartbusters also masqueraded as The Manchesters on the album
"Beatlerama Volume 2". A shortened version of "She's The One" is among
the songs they do on that album.

I was always under the impression that such knockoffs were intended
more to fool the moms -- out to please their kids, save a buck or two, and
too harried to notice that The Merseyside Lads were not the Merseyside

The Chartbusters were Bobby Poe and the Poekats ("Down On The Farm"
and other rockabilly gems), less Big Al Downing. Al told me that he was
out of the group when they decided to pursue the Beatle sound and he,
well, didn't fit the image. If memory serves, he did co-write the B-side
of "She's The One'. Al and I got to be friends in the 70s when he recorded
Country hits. Bobby Poe started a pop music survey trade publication and
presented some great radio conventions, which were the inspiration for
the Country Radio Seminar (which is my job these days).

In my opinion Burke's top 50 hit of "Proud Mary" is the best version of the
