Subject: Goldstar Website
Hey, got another question for you guys. Has anyone ever gotten a
response from the GoldStar Studios Website concerning when they
were going to be selling any of their memorabilia? I actually got
an e-mail once from them saying it would be soon, but that was
close to a year ago, (or so it seems).
And I was also wondering if anyone was able to come up with an
answer about my question concerning the Phil Spector produced
"Hold me Tight", by the Treasures. My question was, when and if
it ever charted, and what position it held on the charts. I had
asked if it was an LA local hit on KFWB, as I don't recall
hearing it in the Chicago area on either WLS or WCFL.
Any help would be appreciated.

To help raise funds for a specific, post-Katrina charity, Brian
Wilson is putting his mouth where your money is. This from his

I just found a real neat page dedicated to the memories and
photos of longtime L.A.-based R&B DJ Hunter Hancock, which I
think a lot of y'all would also enjoy seeing. Hosted by the
Doo-Wop Society of Southern California, the page is at
http://www.electricearl.com/dws/hunter.html Note that most if
not all of the photos there are thumbnails, which link to much
larger and clearer versions when clicked on. The shots from
his brief-lived TV show, "Rhythm And Bluesville," are
especially groovy!
Dig,
--Phil M.

I don't know of any legit CD that has that track. I've been having
problems uploading stuff, so maybe someone else has it and would be
willing to share? Unless it has indeed been reissued legitmately on
CD, in which case, do tell.

Richie Havens wrote "Run Shaker Life" (according to my BMI and
ASCAP searches) and to the best of my recollection recorded it
circa 1967-68. However, there's at least one other song
registered to BMI with the same title.

What a great discography! And the root site, yields a wealth of
knowledge, including more discographies of such delights as Fire/
Fury, Fortune, Del-Fi, Chess/Checker, Keen, and lots more:
http://koti.mbnet.fi/wdd/
http://koti.mbnet.fi/wdd/labels.htm
I've mentioned before a site of discographies of some very small
independent northeastern US labels of the 50s and 60s, including
some really rare ones like Wye (The Mark II, "Night Theme"), Aamco
(Andy Rose, "Just Young"), Triodex (Cathy Carroll, plus James
McArthur's wondrous weeper, "The In-Between Years"), Hanover/
Signature, and dozens more. Anyone else know of amazing labor-of-
love reference sites like this? (I may have started a thread here
- I'm sure there must be at least several.)
