Margaret,
Funny you should mention that particular Guilloteens track in this
context ! Here's what Louis Paul wrote to me a while ago (as told to
his wife who works the computer)...
Spector never finished I Don't Believe. He wouldn't even speak to the
guys after Williams signed them with HBR. He wasted several months
working with them trying to work out a contract and when the Righteous
Brothers single hit he had to stop and finish and album with them. He
said he would work out a deal with Williams for them as soon as he
finished. Williams wouldn't wait.
Louis says they started out working in a state of the art studio with
32 channels with Phil Spector and wound up recording live in a cartoon
studio for Yogi Bear. You can hear a tiny bit of the Spector
version. The beginning of the song was one part they had worked out.
Louis used it for the HBR recording.
Eddy (& Louis & Lynn Paul)

Oops, sorry, Here Come the Girls, Vol. 4. At any rate, some girls
involved, either way ...

Someone of my acquaintance in the know about all things Georgie Fame
can neither confirm nor deny, by the way, but expresses his doubt
nonetheless. Thanks!

Nita released 2 more 45s after 'Something To Give' and 'Untrue,
Unfaithful', The Daddy Christmas Song/Our Love Was Meant To Be
(Piccadilly 7N 35307), and Misty Blue/Come Around (Piccadilly 7N
35384) - I have the a copy of the last 45, however I don't recall it
being anywhere near as good as her first two 45s. I'll have another
listen though. I actually have 'Untrue, Unfaithul' on 45, and would
love to find a copy of 'Somthing To Give'... hopefully we'll both be
lucky soon!

Great News ! The title of the set is ONE KISS CAN LEAD TO ANOTHER:
GIRL GROUP SOUNDS, LOST & FOUND. Apparently has 120 songs from 107
artists over 4 CD's. But............... As yet there is no link on
Rhino's web page. I have no idea what the track list may be.......
.......but I'm getting very excited.
