Few British female singer-songwriters made a mark on the mid-
'60s. Piccadilly/Parlophone/President recording artist Barbara
Ruskin was one. One of her daughters treated her to a surprise

Nope. But I got the Bloos single: The People Had No Faces.

Subject: Re: Back To Mono
As a student of recording techniques, i hate mono. Not much info for
these thirsty ears here. I have learned important information from
stereo versions of "I Only Have Eyes 4 U" by the Flamingos, "You Keep
Me Hangin On" ny The Supremes, etc.
Many years ago, I found a Japanese import of a one disc Phil Spector
collection IN STEREO!!!! It's one of my most prized posessions. "Be My
Baby", "Walkin' In The Rain", "Do I Love You" etc. Some brilliant mind
asked to borrow it when Spector was inducted into the Hall of Shame
and I'm sure that guy had a private laugh over that usage. I just
listened to it the other day - it's still amazing.

As I understood it, the Gilbert Becaud version wasn't released until
1964(?). I came across an early version during my Lion safari by
French Artist, Gloria Lasso, from 1962. It was on the same EP as her
Lion rendition, and the featured song.

I only have a few Lost Nite records, including a couple of early
1960's issues, and some later reissues. I seem to recall hearing that
Lost Nite became the Collectables label. Would you want that listing
too?

Subject: Murray the K
Very nice to see the discussion and remembrances of Murray the K. The
'Swingin' Soiree', with it's resolute R&B slant, was a life saver to
many (including me) between 1959 and 1963.
Actually, Murray put his name on quite a few various artists LPs, a
dozen or so, I'd guess, and they usually sold pretty well in the
metropolitan area. At least a few of the early LPs were on the Chess
label. A couple were recorded live at the Brooklyn Fox during Murray's
all-star revues. One has become famous for featuring the Ronettes at
the height of their heights.
His shows, invariably during school vacations, often at the Brooklyn
Fox, and later in mid-town Manhattan at the RKO 58th Street, were almost
always big successes. Anybody who ever saw Murray in his prime at these
shows can testify to his brilliant ability to tease, tweak and excite
an audience, especially when he had headliners like Jackie Wilson by his
side or ready to burst out from behind the curtains.
After the British invasion, the Submarine Racewatchers Club evolved into
the Murray the K International Fan Club, where you received an ID card,
signed by Murray, that formally certified that the bearer 'is what's
happening, baby.'
Finally, round about 1965-66, Murray released at least one more single
that I can remember, titled, aptly, 'It's What's Happening Baby'. He
just talked over a rhythm track, 'lone twister' style, commenting on
current musical and political trends. The record didn't get any plays
on NY radio, though, except once or twice, oddly enough, on WWRL. I
think it was on Red Bird, but somebody better check me on it.
Ciao now,
Ted T.

Hi Donna, You can make that four songs: "Pretty Things" and "The

both sides written P. Leka & S. Pinz and Arr & Prod. by Charles Calello.
I haven't heard "Through The Eye..." but talented writers involved in

It seems to me that horn line came from a song on the first BS&T
LP - was it "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know"? (Al?) And, I
think I once heard that Al and/or BS&T got it from a Coltrane lick.

Right! It seems to me that today's young listeners dont' get much
concept of variety - one has to change stations to hear something
different. (I think some of these stations could just program a drum
machine all day and their audience wouldn't notice the difference!).
I feel very fortunate to have grown up with the musical variety of the
late 40's (when I was VERY young )- late 70's.

Phil, I knew Tommy from about 1971 and feel the same way about him
as you. He'd call from London sometimes in the middle of the night
just to talk (and talk about the Darts). I worked with Bobby Hart for
25 years and wish they had written together in the 70's, 80's and
90's. Anyway, his wife Caroline found one of his books with a very
funny note to me in it and sent it to me. Tommy was definitely one of
a kind.

It looks like their web hosting service (powweb.com) is having major
problems, I've been having trouble accessing other sites that are
hosted with them.
Rat Pfink
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I emailed Borderlinebooks and the email was returned. I have previously
sent them emails, suggesting corrections and/or additions as I am sure
all of us could. This is the first time I ever had the email bounce.
However, I might add there was a time back in 2001 when they were
changing/updating servers that they were down for almost two weeks and
came back. I am hoping it is something like this and nothing more. They
were a great resource. I do have the latest copies of three of their
books, if anyone should need anything from them.
Peace, Orion
-------------------------------------------------------------------
There was some discussion of this in the 60's newsgroup. Apparently
the site is being updated, with (God willing) at least some error
corrections finally being implemented.
Joe Nelson
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, I recently received an email from Max Waller of that site. It
seems they were so overloaded with emails that they overlooked the
one about their website contract renewal, so it expired. They hope
to be back up within a month.
gem
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know whether the Borderline Books website is gone permanently.
But Fuzz, Acid, & Flowers is probably fully archived at the Wayback
Machine: http://www.archive.org/index.php
If you know the URL of a website (or can find it with a search engine),
plug it into the Wayback Machine, and you can see how that website
looked at different dates. This works both for websites that have been
updated and for websites that no longer exist.
It's a little tricky in the case of Fuzz, Acid, & Flowers, because that
website appears to have used absolute rather than relative links for
internal navigation, but now I'm getting too far off topic. E-mail me
if you want further tips.

But you must like his first name, Clark. Clark Weber has made a
very positive impression on me. When I was 15, a friend an I were
hanging around outside WRIT (Milw) about 2AM and, instead of yelling
at us, he invited us in and showed us around. A few years later, when
I heard him on WLS and wrote to him, he answered my letter and even
mentioned a little story about me on the air one night. Several years
ago, after getting Stew Salowitz' book about WLS, I tracked Weber down,
wrote to him, and he responded with a very gracious letter - a very
nice man.

Perhaps this was Alice Stuart, who is still active as a folk musician
in Seattle. FZ said he let her go because she couldn't play "Louie

knowledge!

Hello Clark. Actually, the hits I write come in the form of
entertainment marketing programs I create on behalf of the company
I represent, Classic Media (we own the rights to the CBS specials,
Rudolph and Frosty, along with Rocky & Bullwinkle and many other
cartoon characters that have "stood the test of time").
I know Pop really enjoys S'Pop, as I do. After all, where else could
you discuss the genesis of Tex and The Chex? Very cool stuff.

This may have depleted much of his cash. Also, Tommy's been gone
since 1988, and since then ALOT of Monkees material has been
released. What a waste that someone as talented as Tommy would make
that final decision.

Subject: Re: Back To Mono
Al, agreed about the Spector stereo.
Actually, the Ronettes Lp was released in true stereo in 1963/4.
Phil actually DID mix alot of his stuff to stereo, he just wanted
the 45s to be mono for Radio play. He wasn't adverse to making a
few extra bucks by selling the stereo LP for more than the mono, as
did all record labels at that time.
If you want to FREAK, get ahold of the 5 Cd "Spector Sessions" set.
It's a "Gray Area" Cd, but it is amazing because it comes from
"safety tapes". Not copies of mono masters, mind you, rather, Phil
had Goldstar run a stereo machine off the board outputs that was
running all the time, thru the tune ups, meetings, run thrus, etc.
thus, it recorded EVERYTHING that happened during a Phil Spector
Session, including Phil joking around with the musicians. It's like
being in the control room with Phil, Larry and Sonny!!

Hi, I posted December's Children's "The Lovin' Things" to musica by
request. I really love this much more energetic poppier version than
the Grassroots one. Ray Whitley wrote the songs and I think wrote
their followup, "Backwards and Forwards" too. I'm wondering if
anyone out there knows Ray's story?? He wrote some songs for Vee Jay
artists I believe and also wrote "Ive Been Hurt", the Bill Deal &
Rhondels classic. The Sensational Epics did it earlier on Cameo.
Was Ray from Chicago, by chance? Clark
