Subject: Talentmasters Recording Studio
In Spectropop's web site was a question about Bob Gallo and Robert
Harvey of Talentmasters studio in New York. It is my understanding
Bob Gallo is in Canada still recording. Bob Harvey wrote articles for
Rolling Stone Mag in mid 1970s-1980s, but not sure of name he used. A
kid Bob Harvey brought over from England and knows a lot about
Talentmasters is Chris Huston who was in group Undertakers and knows
a lot about the period at Talentmasters from James Brown through Led
Zeppelin and is doing studio design today. I think Bob Harvey has
passed away but not sure. Chris Huston has a lot if you do a google
search and you will hear his influence on a lot of great recordings.
Will send some photos of Talentmasters in seperate post.

Just a quick note to all fellow Spectropopers. My album is now
available from all good stores. It's chock full of 60's influenced
pop, Harmonies, Rickenbackers and melodic bass lines. There's also a
cover of the Beach Boys classic, "Slip On Through". Here's a link to
Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/aw77s

Friends who'd know saw The Raspberries and either The Box Tops or
Alex Chilton solo here last weekend, and said it wasn't embarrassing
in the least. I guess I should have gone.

Regarding Mike Smith, I saw him a few years back in Merriville and he
was great, standing up at his organ, doing a reverb filled "Anyway You
Want It" to end a great show. Unfortunately, it appears he won't
perform again. His feeding tube was recently removed, which is a
good thing. He is getting better and the concert will help him
defray the large medical expenses he has incurred. A special
wheelchair for him will cost over $20,000.
I saw the Raspberries in Chicago and they were spot on. They had a
nice video montage and then played "I Wanna Be With You" to open the
show picking up where the video had begun. It was very impressive
and the sound was excellent. There are no solo Eric Carmen
performances. "I Can Remember" and "Overnight Sensation" were mini
operas, so powerful. And hearing the opening chords to "Tonight"
mixed up loud like they should be was great! They also do "It's Cold
Outside" from their former group, the Choir. This is a true reunion
of all original members, unlike most sixties/seventies ones where
it's one guy and 3 or 4 others that could be their sons! Don't miss
it, if it comes to your area! They only do an occasional show.

PS: Phil, did Eric Burdon do "Sky Pilot"?
