________________________________________________________________________ Message: 1 Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2005 17:47:19 -0000 From: Clark Besch Subject: What you find in your collection..... Hi, last night I was actually playing a whole bunch of 45s and songs that I hadn't in ages. I was doing some taping and researching and it was wild what I was finding without looking for it! I pulled out the old Bobby Vee Lp, "Come Back When You Grow Up" to play the hit 45's flip, "I May Be Gone". I found it funny that on both the cover and Lp itself, the song was mislabeled, "I May Be Back"! Funny, since the lyrics go: "I may be gone, but I'll be back again". Always liked the song and noticed it was vritten by Bobby too. Then, I noticed Ron Dante wrote a couple of songs on the Lp and then, our own Alan Gordon (with Bonner) wrote a cool song on there, "Double Good Feeling"! Then, I pulled out Gary Lewis' "More Golden greats" to play another fave B side, "Ice Melts in the Sun", which got a lot of play on the radio as the flip of "The Loser". Wow, it was co-written by Ron Dante! Another person had asked me at work for "The Unicorn". Seems like most stereo versions of this are some re-sung version, so I pulled the 45 and was surprised that Shel silversteen wrote THAT! If that wasn't enough, a heavy metal guy was asking about Ram Jam's 77 hit, "Black Betty" and when i pulled it, it was produced by KASENETZ- KATZ!!! Just goes to show that Cds sound great and are true miracles of technology, but vinyl is SO much more FUN! Clark -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

There was something wrong with part of their tape (the hosts even apologized for it) and they replayed another section. So, I'm thinking maybe the early 70s part you're talking about is where the problem was-maybe it was cut out "due to technical difficulties". But, what they did show was great and it was nice to hear of their explanation of "Creek Alley". Karen -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------
Message: 7 Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2005 21:22:20 -0800 (PST) From: Dave Monroe Subject: Chantal Kelly + Sylvie Vartan + Gillian Hills Recommended: Chantal Kelly, The Yé-Yé Girls From Paris By Sheila Burgel First there was Sylvie- and then came Françoise, Brigitte, and France. The royal highnesses of yé-yé fitted with plenty of star quality and a wealth of Paris chic. Look a little further, and you'll find Annie Philippe, Chantal Goya, Stella, Jacqueline Taieb, and Chantal Kelly- the gals who operated from the second tier, and many of whom have only recently been re-discovered by French pop connoisseurs. These minor mademoiselles may not have had quite the immaculate track record of Françoise Hardy and France Gall, nor were they as famous as Brigitte Bardot and Sylvie Vartan, but at least they didn't rely too much on doing obvious American and British covers like so many girls named Ariane, Patricia, Jocelyne, and Eileen. Actually, both Stella and Jacqueline Taieb were able to cook up some pretty fabulous pop songs of their own, and Chantal Kelly and Annie Philippe will satisfy all France Gall fans who have overplayed their copies of "Laisse Tomber Les Filles." ... Full story: http://www.chachacharming.com/article.php?id=13 The Story Of Sylvie Vartan, Blonde, Beautiful, and Bulgarian By Sheila Burgel Considering that Sylvie Vartan was the definitive French pop star during the sixties, you would have at least expected that she be of French decent. However, Sylvie Vartan was born in Iskretz, Bulgaria in 1944, and spent most of her childhood there. It wasn't until 1952 that the Vartan family packed up and immigrated to Paris. The Paris life agreed with her- she excelled in school, mastered the French language, and by the age of 15 she was taking her first baby steps on the path to stardom. Her older brother, Eddie Vartan, began to show signs of promising musical talent, and his competent songwriting and arranging skills landed him jobs with already established artists like Gillian Hills and Frankie Jordan. When Gillian Hills skipped out on her recording session with Eddie, it was Sylvie who replaced her and lent her vocals to a Frankie Jordan EP called "Panne D'Essence" ("Breakdown"). After a couple of stints with Frankie, Eddie was confident that his sister would make a fine solo singer. With a little convincing and Eddie's songwriting and production assistance, Sylvie Vartan made her solo debut in 1961 on RCA Records with a song called "Quand Le Film Est Triste" ("When The Film Is Sad"). The love for Sylvie Vartan was instant; the French went absolutely mad for her! Who could resist her golden-blonde l ocks, petit frame, and doll face? She was gorgeous, smart, and a blossoming pop singer.... Full story: http://www.chachacharming.com/article.php?id=7 The Story Of Gillian Hills, Beat Girl By Sheila Burgel Since she was discovered in 1958, Gillian Hills was seen as nothing more than a beautiful face, bearing an uncanny resemblance to Brigitte Bardot. She was indeed a real beauty, but there is much more to Gillian Hills than her kittenish good looks. [...] The same year Beat Girl hit theaters, Gillian appeared on the front cover of Paris Match sporting brown hair and a more subdued look- perhaps to escape the endless Bardot comparisons. 1960 also saw the release of Gillian's first single for Barclay Records. Her sultry teasing voice worked perfectly with "Ma Premiere Cigarette." However, 1960 was still a bit early for the approaching yé-yé rage, and her early releases were most often ultra-cute covers of Marilyn Monroe ("Aimons-Nous"), The Shirelles ("En Dansant Le Twist") and Helen Shapiro ("Mon Coeur Est Pret"). In 1963 Gillian joined ill-famed songwriting genius, Serge Gainsbourg for a duet called "Une Tasse D'Anxiete." Although a video was shot with Serge and Gillian flirting in a convertible, the song was never officially released. After releasing five EPs worth of mostly American cover versions, Gillian began composing her own songs, defying the perception of Gillian as a substandard Brigitte Bardot....

I'm not familiar with this particular track, but it sounds like it could be by the same New York combo that brought us "When I Needed You" (available on "Psychedelic States: New York in the '60s, Vol. 2" and "Psychedelic Unknowns Vol. 4"). If it is the same band, that's Steve Tallarico on lead vocals--you know him better as Steven Tyler from Aerosmith. Any possibility of a musica post so we can analyze the vocal inflections and thus discern whether it's Tyler? Signed D.C. -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

Browsing around, I was surprised to find an interview with, of all people, Ami Onuki and Yumi Yoshimura of Puffy AmiYumi. My five year old son has a crush on Ami because of their show on Cartoon Network and it was intersting to put the show's obviously ficticious portrayal of the ladies aside and find out some actual facts about the group.

Message: 11 Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2005 12:51:05 -0800 (PST) From: Anthony Arena Subject: The Revillos As any fans of The Revillos know, they were the one band who really kept the spirit of Spectropop styled music alive in the early 1980s. Fay Fife and The Revettes thrilled us in the Girl-Group tradition with their remakes of The Exciters, Tell Him, The Crystals version of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, and an odd Shangri Las tune here and there...(not to mention their FAB originals such as Where's The Boy For Me?, Scuba Boy Bop, On The Beach, and Bobby Come Back To Me.) But we should also give credit to KID KRUPA whose brilliant guitar work made The Revillos albums REV-UP! and ATTACK so evocotive of the 1960s. Although only 17 years old at the time, he had a natural understanding of The Tornados, Duane Eddy, Gene Vincent, and everyone else great. It is incredibly sad to know that KID KRUPA has passed away recently from diabetes. Kid Krupa's family would like to know what The Revillos, and his guitar playing meant to Revillo fans everywhere. If you are a Revillo fan, I hope you'll take the time to sign the Book Of Memories for Kid Krupa, on the Official Revillos website: http://www.revillos.co.uk/krupa/ Thanks, Tony -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

It came out after the Rare Breed single, but before the Ohio Express reissue (Cameo #483). I'm told that Bo Gentry produced a cover of the song with sound effects such as a door slamming & chimes......am curious if this is the Demotrons' rendition. If posted to Musica it'd be appreciated!

Mark, I hope you will join us here in S'pOp land! Would like to hear your stories and how, after 4 hits in 1967 with the Bonner-Gordon duo, you went another direction. Speaking of those 2, where has Alan Gordon disappeared to? Are you still with us, my friend? Anyway, back to the Turtles. White Whale DID release "Guide for the Married Man" b/w "Think I'll Run Away" as WW 251, sandwiching them between "She'd Rather be With me" (WW 249) and "You Know What I Mean" (WW 254). I know that in the midwest, I heard nothing from the group between those 2 hits, so I would tend to agree that it was a limited release. In fact, there may have been many a Turtles release like that! While researching the label 45s for a Varese comp, I found that the penny pinching label released 24 different Turtles 45s between late 65 and early 1971! It's amazing with all the Cds of Turtles material, that there could still be anything unreleased by the group! Certainly "Wooden Head" was great alone for having the Turtles' film song "She'll Come Back" on it (from "Out of Sight"). In case you wondered, after the 24 Turtles 45s, next in line for most WW releases were Nino Tempo & April Stevens (6), the Clique (6), and Rene & Rene (5). It was also interesting to see releases on the label by Bobby Bloom, Dobie Gray (3), Kris Jensen (2), Kenny Lynch, Mathew moore, Bobby Boris Pickett (2), Artie Resnick, Walter Scott and Iowa's XL's (2).

Message: 14 Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2005 18:06:37 -0000 From: Ed Salamon Subject: Re: Chubby remakes Previously: > Yes, and the new station(s) Oldies 540 and 1260 (XESURF Tijuana) > is now playing those Chubby remakes. Hope that changes soon. A lot of radio folks don't agree (with me) that it is all that important to play originals. Whenever there is a version in stereo, it often is chosen over the orginal. When United Stations bought the RKO radio networks, Dick Bartley and I differed on this - particulary over the alternate stereo take of "Do You Love Me" that had just been issued for "Dirty Dancing". My local oldies station WMAK (Nashville) plays the overdubbed Reprise version of "You're The One" by the Vogues(which particularly annoys me because it destroys the garagy sound of the Fenways' orginal backing), as well as "Tossing and Turning" with spoken intro, the album versions of "Magic Carpet Ride", "Spinning Wheel", etc., etc.. It makes me nuts. My son Drew, who sells oldies station 3WS (Pittsburgh)among others, thinks I'm just a grumpy old man and no one else notices/remembers these things, except for three or four other guys who are probably on this board. I remind him that I felt the same back when I consulted oldies KBZT (San Diego)in the 70s. Ed Salamon -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

Hola Phil. Title: Jerry Landis: Work In Progress. Vol 1. (I think that another two volumes are foreseen). It includes 23 previously unreleased tracks. Issued by Bonus Records. I think it could be a German label, or at least the CD is made in Germany. Sorry, I have no idea if it´s legit or not. Today I fell in love with a little song: "When I Needed You" by Little Iva and Her Band, (Little Iva was Raynoma Liles Gordy), Miracle 02. 1961. It has a touch of improvisation and imperfection, à la "Angel Baby", that I like very much. I´ve been sleeping the whole day, I seem like a sedated log in striped pyjamas. Chao.

My copy of "You Just Don't Know" is alas the UK issue from the 70's. US members may not know that in the late 70's Decca issued albums from Chubby, Dee Dee, The Dovells, Orlons, and Tymes of legit Cameo-Parkway recordings. They also issued a handful of 45's including the always in demand track from Yvonne Baker, "You Didn't Say A Word" (the one that is often referred to as sounding like the "James Bond" theme) and interestingly a diferent (longer ?) version of " Nght Owl" by Bobby Paris.

Peter Noone has confirmed in numerous interviews that Page played on "Silhouettes", which was the A-side of "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat" in the UK. Jim Sullivan also lists that single in his discography, so I'd say one of them did the solo while the other played rhythm. Page doesn't even recall ever playing for Herman's Hermits -- probably because the backing tracks were oftentimes recorded at separate sessions while the Hermits were on tour.

The Grasshoppers I am speaking of (not likely the same as Cleveland band) are from Minneapolis, not Milwaukee! From late 1967, their 45 paired "Sugar & Spice" with another classic, "The Very Last Day". Released bu Minneapolis label Fox (851). Altho the record label shows Copyright 1966, this release was from late 1967. Must have been like Cameo who had labels printed C1963 that were used for years. Gary, I did just come across a good 45 by Milwaukee group, the Triumphs. I assume they are in your book? If I might offer a suggestion, can your new edition have a thorough index? It is awfully hard to find things in the book without more info as it is now written. Just a thought. Thanks, Clark -------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------

As my French aural comprehension is marginal at best, I might miss some of the irony of the lyrics juxtaposed with the music in Stella's earlier work, but the later songs, as she was transitioning out of yé-yé would be interesting. I've been hearing about Keren Ann recently; it's good to know more. And those Chicas De España - I'm in love with Ana Belen 40 years ago! (See page 3 of the article.) Thank you, authors Sheila, Pink and Lex. Phil M.: > I recently learned some news about Lind that might interest the > membership.

Neale Lind," eh? By the way, I wrote to him offering my production services. He wrote back - didn't say yes (of course), but didn't laugh me off, either. Good guy, definitely. Some of the lyrics on his new album of demos are really fine, and some of the songs have fine hooks, but could use a little judicious editing, amplifying and/or tweaking. But I think he's got the goods to do something worth hearing on a larger scale once again. By the way, he professed to not knowing who "Robert" who posted that note was; but knowing of the WWN affiliation, I wonder if *that* was goofin' on me. ("Will Robert dispute this?" he asked, good-naturedly.) Julio Nino: > ....I finally got the CD of Paul Simon´s early recordings and demos, > and it´s full of nice cute songs....The record includes a track by > The Cosines, "Just To Be With You", a demo of the song popularized > by The Passions in 1959, in which Carole King can be heard singing > with Paul.

They fairly well re-imagine and slightly re-compose the song, and it's a true treat (even if a little loose in the execution - but then again, they were inspired overdubbers on primitive equipment, so I think it came out quite well). Mikey, Subject: Re: Premier Albums > Those Premier and Coronet LPs were a great place to get the artists' > previous recordings for the small labels. Some that come to mind:.... > The Tokens "Tonite I Fell in Love" This was such a big hit (on Warwick) that I wonder how it "got away" from them. Another one-sing visit, to Laurie for the hit "Please Write,' seems to have avoided a similar fate. > The 4 Seasons "Coma Si Bella" This, and its flip side, "Real (This is Real)," a nice doo-wop ballad, are on a 45 on Cindy credited to Franjie Valli and The Romans. I prefer "Real" personally.

Do remember that she had significant Philles hits under her own name: "Wait Till My Bobby Gets Home" and "A Fine, Fine Boy" - plus her major contributions to the perenniel Christmas album. That, plus her acting chops and frequent musical touring today, have kept her in the public eye. True, she's not as "frontline" as Diana Ross or Cher, but she does have significant early creds. I think Mary Wilson's emergence as a known entity is more striking, since she didn't have early hits under her own name, and by the time the Supremes entered the majority of America's consciousness, Mary was reduced to doing backgroup vocals behind Diana's dominance of the proceedings.
