I just listened to the Reparata song "So Young", and all I can
say is "WOW"! Great female doo-wop. I've always liked them,
but my respect for them as vocalists shot up several notches
after hearing that song. Many thanks to Mick.
Also, the Darleen Carr track was very good. Reminded me of
something Jackie DeShannon might have done.

Subject: The Flirtations
Hi, I am a die-hard fan of the Flirtations and I usually post about
them - I foudn out, while looking through some old spectropop
archives, that Viola Bullips of the Flirtations left and recorded
solo singles. Does anyone have any of these songs - they are not
available anywhere on the interent...supposedly she sang one called
"Johhny and the Jukebox." I heard someone praise that song...also
she released, under two different names - I think. One, is Vi - and
one is Pearly Gates...If anyone has any of hers - or any other
Flirtations member solo recordings....I'd really appreciate if you
could let me know.
Thanks,
James
Thanks to those who sent me the songs by the Wildcats and Bach's
Lunch.

France Gall is a painful listen, but she sure was cute.
Sandie Shaw and Lulu clips are only about 30-seconds each, what a
disappointment. Reminds me of every rock anniversary special on TV,
all those infuriatingly brief clips, not a full performance among
them, it's like rollerskating past a buffet line so fast you can't

I agree, a fabulous record, written by P. F. Sloan and Steve
Barri, to boot. It too is out on CD. Find it on "Chapel Of Love
and other Great Girl Group Gems", a 3CD set released on Castle/
Pulse - three discs for 8 quid (but no handy hat box to keep it
in, rats). Find a full track list here: http://tinyurl.com/ckplj
or here: http://tinyurl.com/df4bm where copies are for sale for
under ten bucks.
The other side, "There He Goes", is strong too, and is also
available on CD. It's on "The Shoop Shoop Song and other Great
Girl Group Hits", released on Select. Find a full track list
here: http://tinyurl.com/alj78
Because of her involvement with Sloan & Barri, Yvonne Carroll
is featured in Stephen J. McParland's new book Bikinis, Black
Denim And Bitchen Sounds: A Musical Appreciation Of Female Surf,

Amazing to me that the Ace CD omits one of the great Reparata & the
Delrons tunes, "Summer Laughter", released on Mala in 1968 and
produced by the Jeromes. It's a beautiful melody with inspired
singing and an instrumental background, while not very Spector-esque,
that compliments the tune perfectly.

I'm afraid it's a small box (similar to the Trojan reissue box
sets). I've not seen the booklet yet but the art/design on the box
is no great shakes. I think If you are going to do a box set It has
to be either completely comprehensive (In this case the A&B sides
of every red bird and blue cat 45 - good and bad.) Or alternatively
a well chosen highlights package with great sleevenotes and
fantastic design like the new rhino girl groups box. I fear this is
going to be neither which is a great shame.

I agree - it's actually my favourite Reparata song. Were the tapes
missing? It definitely deserves a spot on any "Best of" set by the
group in my opinion. I'm still buying the cd though, because all
the other tracks are quite fab.

In all of the years I've listened to Top 40 and oldies radio
stations, I have only heard one song by this group, but I liked
it very much. It was in very late 1967 or very early 1968, and
the song was "The Captain of Your Ship". I heard it played on at
least one Top 40 radio station in the Washington, DC, area,
probably WPGC. But it didn't stay on the playlist very long, and
my Whitburn Top Pop Singles book doesn't list it as having made
the Hot 100. I've seen other collections by this group, but none
of them seemed to have this song. I had begun to wonder if this
song was only a figment of my imagination, but I see from your
review that it's included in this CD.

I'm always pressed for time (writing a book will do that to ya!)
so I can't go digging for info whenever some query pops into my
noggin...so, does any spectro-pop member have details on the
stellar, atmospheric 45rpm "Don't Let Your Mind Rule Your Heart"
by Josephine Sunday, as released on Tower in late '65? Is this
tune included on the Rhino girl group box set? It's my all time
fave girl group disc, edging out (by a hair) "It's As Easy As
1-2-3" by Jill Gibson.
Thanks!

Martin, thanks for those kind words about my review. I too
remember Darin D'Anna. His World Artists track of "We Were
Lovers" is without a doubt the best version of that song. It
still remains one of my favorite all time recordings. I just
wish I could get a copy on CD. Even the B side, which he co-
wrote, is great -- "Gunna Feel Alright" I know he was a
constant fixture around the studio in the early days of the
Jerome Brothers' productions. Reparata gave me the promo copy
of "Lovers" saying, "You got to hear this"....She never got it
back. It's great.

Thanks Phil. I'm not sure what "Come Back, Reparata all is
Forgiven" actually means BUT--- Your comments made my day. I
wasn't sure how to write a review. Most of the other reviews
that I read contained so many technical superlatives combined
with a superior, almost arrogant, knowledge of music that I
wasn't sure I could pull it off. I was asked to make it personal,
so that's what I tried to do. I'm so glad (and relieved) that
you liked it. Thanks also to Julio and everyone else that liked
the review.

In my few experiences with CD releases I was able to choose the
running order of the songs. I've always assumed that it's more
important to me than to the listener and I tend to go to great
extents to get things perfect (in my mind). In one case I allowed
the CD burning software to put the tracks in alphabetical order and
the comp came out great and was used by the company as I presented
it. Usually I'll spend days putting stuff on CDR and reordering it
before I enjoy it. Keep in mind that my experience is not to any
extent that of other people on this site. Perhaps they can answer
your question better. It just happens to be a fun challenge for me.
Surely the compilers of the Rhino set had the benefit of other
comps (as it seems is being pointed out by others) but my primary
enjoyment of it is the compiling and the packaging. What I really
like is that they did not seperate the various genres and they
didn't go chronological. I like having soul mixed with pop mixed
with American mixed with British. The collector oriented sets from
Ace, RPM etc are good for accumulating great tracks, the Rhino set
is a whole other experience. I like them all but then again I'm not
really a "collector." I just like the music and I like the estoteric
things I've already mentioned.

Phil, I agree, it is a great performance. "So Young" was Reparata's
favorite song from the Ronettes Philles album. She used to play and
sing along with Ronnie long before she was singing professionally.
It then became a staple in R & D's live shows. It always got a good
reception, and Reparata always gave credit to Ronnie Spector for her
great interpretation of the song. I always thought that she should
have recorded the song. She didn't, but thanks to Mick, we can enjoy
it in now in musica for awhile:

Here is some discographical information, just in from Michael
Robson (aka Clunkie):
GATES, PEARLY
45 POLYDOR 2058 342 (1974)
A. SAD OLD SHADOW
B. STAY
GATES, PEARLY
45 POLYDOR 2058 443 (1974)
A. JOHNNY AND THE JUKE BOX
B. THEY WERE GOOD TIMES
GATES, PEARLY
45 (PS) BRONZE BRO 61 (1978)
A. BURNIN' LOVE
B. BURNIN' LOVE (PART 2)
The large gap in between records would suggest further releases.
a quick mooch around online found loads of 7"/12" disco releases
in the 1980s which could quite possibly be another artist.
However, the following 1970s releases look pretty much like the
PEARLY GATES we are interested in.
GATES, PEARLY
45 RCA 2605 (1975)
A. YOU'RE THE ONE FOR ME
B. MAKE IT MY BUSINESS TO GET YOU BOY
GATES, PEARLY
45 (7" AND 12" PS) BRONZE BRO 74 (1979)
A. FANDANGO DANCING
B. DANCIN' ON A DREAM
"Johnny and the JukeBox" (bought from Malcolm Baumgart in 1991!)
is the best release that I've heard - from the Wayne BICKERTON/
Tony WADDINGTON stable (also responsible for most of the
FLIRTATIONS material). By 1974 they were churning out hits for
THE RUBETTES and it certainly shows on this particular Pearly
Gates 45, which is the girl group-death disc record the Rubettes
never "intentionally" made (ie. most people thought their discs
sounded like death anyway).
Needless to say, I would be pleased to put the ones I've got
onto a CD for you if you want to post any of them onto the site,
or pass it on to James Moniz.

For my money, sequencing used to be a lot more rewarding back in the
vinyl days, when you'd programm for roughly 40 minutes instead of 75,
and the listener was more or less bound to use your results. I don't
know how many CD listeners use the Random/Shuffle feature on their
players, but the fact that it is there, and that I use it a lot myself*,
tend to make sequencing for CD somewhat of a pointless proposition.
Consequently, while I do try to create a pleasing flow from start to
finish, I don't angst over it to the extent that I used to.
*In fact, I sometimes even use it to get suggestions toward good segues.

I don't know. My enthusiasm, in
this case, is based on the presentation, scope and esthetics.
Based on my collection I probably only have 60-70% of the
material. You, on the other hand probably have it all so
you'll probably decide not to buy it (unless of course you
can use the hat box for something - it is a nice hat box).
To compare your collection with the set check here:
http://tinyurl.com/ab84x or here http://tinyurl.com/7wofj for the
track listing.
To summarize, in this very last post from me on the subject:
collectors (and Mick) - think twice before buying; middle to
entry-level 60s pop music fans - buy the set as soon as
you can.
Over and out,
Mark F.

Welcome to S'pop, Bill. Has Darlene Love been discussed here
before? Well, yes. Many times. But there can never be too many.
If you visit the S'pop homepage at http://www.spectropop.com
you'll see a very useful search engine at the top of the menu
bar on the left. You'll find the message archives are very easy
to search. Have fun. Or you could just click this link:
