Subject: John Carter song - Midnight Girl
The recent messages about John Carter sent me browsing among my
records, where I found an Italian version of a nice if unexceptional
Carter-Stephens song called Midnight Girl. The original came out in
1966 in England, and was sung by one Paul Craig, of whom I know
nothing. I googled a bit but it seemms there's nothing about him, not
even a record for sale or a compilation including this song. Can
anybody help me with some info (and maybe an mp3)?
thanks, Roberto

Subject: Tommy Roe sings Leiber & Stoller
Are there any Tommy Roe fans/experts out there? Must be. For quite a
while I've been trying to track down Tommy's recording of the Leiber
& Stoller composition "The Gunfighter", released on ABC Paramount
10696 in 1965 . . . without success. Is this track available on CD?
If so, which one/s please? If not, if someone has the 45, maybe they
could post it to musica for us all to listen to. Also, are there any
other versions of this song? Thanks in advance.
Hey la,
Mick Patrick

Only a tiny piece of information Harold, I am afraid, but it may
throw some light on something.
Anne-Marie recorded four tracks for MGM.
New York City April 1 1966
100000 Go Down By The Water (unissued)
100001 The Petal Song (unissued)
100002 Diary (MGM K13534)
100003 You Won't Be Sorry Baby (MGM K13534)

I graduated from the University of North Carolina's Dept. of Radio-
TV-Motion Pictures with William Oliver Swofford in 1967. Bill sang
with a group called the Virginians while at UNC. I recall seeing them
open for the Beach Boys in spring 1966 at a concert at Duke
University's field house. Bill hailed from North Wilkesboro, NC I
believe. I was a dj at WSSB 1490 Durham, NC in 1966-67 and recall
playing the Virginians' 45 "A Piece Of Cewllophane." I still have a
copy.

ASCAP credits "The Gunfighter" to Leiber, Stoller and Billy Edd
Wheeler. There's a version by Jim Ed Brown on the 1967 LP "Gems By
Jim" (RCA Victor LSP-3853). Sorry, I don't have either record.

If I'm not mistaken, the young lady is the same one who recorded
previously (minus a vowel and a hyphen) as Ann Marie. Here's a
(probably partial) discography:
Dream Boy/High Heel Shoes (Warwick 605, 1960)
Dear Teddy/(I Know) Your Heart's Not Made Of Wood (Epic 9465, 1961)
Nothing Is Forever/I Shouldn't Be Kissing You (Reprise 20083, 1962)
Always A Bridesmaid/Davey (ABC 10418, 1963)
Runaround/There Must Be A Reason (Jubilee 5490, 1964)
I have the Jubilee and MGM 45s, which do sound like the same girl.
I seem to recall reading somewhere that the Ann Marie on Jubilee
was aged 12 at the time. She sounds it - in a good way.
