Subject: Mystery song to musica

I have uploaded a 1968 song by french canadian band Les Sextants, 
called "Pourquoi Pas Moi" (Why Not Me?). Does somebody know what 
was the original song in English? The writers are Marshall, Passman 
and Jerry Ragovoy.

Thank you,
Michel

Hi Spectropop people,

I've posted a pic of their LP sleeve in the Photos section. It's on the 
last page of subfolder Miscellaneous > Named folders > Girl Singers.  

I'm not sure if the photo is of their original LP cover or re-release. The 
LP was made in Canada. No year of release enywhere. The Carefrees on 
the pic look rather old for 1964. Does anyone remember how the original 
LP looked like? Is it the same?

Teddy Vann, 
Teddy Vann once cut a group named The Sandpebbles on I song I wrote, " Aren't 
You The One"--or should I say, he cut a track on it.  Pretty inventive 
approach too--then he wrote a totally different song over the track called "Forget 
It"  and released that.

Maybe not illegal,  but certainly something to remember him by.

If he didn't like the song, why the hell did he cut it in the first place?


Di la,

Rashkovsky

Joe, thanks for the Arkade side I did not have!  I have just posted 
their last single, "Fools Way of Lovin'" to Musica.  I'll keep it for 
a short time, as it is outside the SPop era slightly.  I believe it 
is sans Austin Roberts just as Austin thought.  It is written Walsh 
and Price only, so Austin memory is (as usual) likely correct.  The 
picture sleeve for the Chinese (I believe)45 does have the same US 
Pic sleeve photo, just close up, with all 3 members.  It is pretty 
obvious that Austin is not singing lead, but a pretty good song 
either way.  Hopefully, everyone now has most of the Arkade songs 
they need until someone in Japan puts out a legit Cd.  :)  Take care, 
Clark
