Iver was Terry Kennedy's production credit, although his records
usually say "An 'Iver' Recording" (as opposed to the King Guion 45,
which says "AN IVER PROD."). However, another clue is that the
B-side was published by Southern Music, which I *think* was Carter-
Lewis' publishing company -- and they had a very strong Terry
Kennedy connection.
Hope this helps,
Scott

Subject: Hallowe'en with Kathy Keegan
Kathy Keegan was trapped in the God-forsaken town of Dead Rock
with no way out. Half the people she met were scared out of
their minds and the other half may have made a deal with the
devil himself. She couldn't be sure of who was on her side and
who was out to dominate her soul. Suddenly a symphony orchestra
appeared from nowhere and struck up a melody strangely familiar
to her. As if hypnotised, Kathy began to sing...
Luckily, the event described above was captured on magnetic tape,
a copy of which found its way to ABC Paramount Records and is now
playing at musica:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/spectropop/files/musica
Deets: Kathy Keegan "A Study In Terror" (ABC 10806, 1966);
written by Scott/Randazzo/Kusik; arranged and conducted by Don
Costa.
Happy Hallowe'en.
Hey la,
Mick Patrick
PS: At a pinch, I'd settle for a bag of those edible eyeball
thingies. The green ones.

I listened and definitely heard the similarity to Brenda's voice. I'm
not sure about the comparison to the Ad Libs though. Has anyone asked
Brenda about this one?

Subject: Sunday Josephine Sunday
In honor of all things Sunday, and in response to a request for same,
now at Probe find Dick Clark's intro to Josephine Sunday's Dec. 18, 1965
appearance on "American Bandstand," on which she performed a coltish,
head-snapping boogaloo while lip-syncing to "You Won't Even Know Her
Name," followed by a brief chat between Clark and Sunday after the
song's conclusion. Also there is a link to a page fulla technically
inept, TV screen snapshots of the appearance.
Note that while some have described J.S. here as being (and here I
paraphrase) "Ronnieish," my own view on the matter is that if Ronnie
Spector had mated with Yvonne Elliman and had a baby, and if that baby
grew up to be a woman, she would probably look very much like Sunday.
Dig,
--Phil M.

One more Teddy Vann disc here, on Curtis Mayfield's label interestingly enough:
TONY FOXX (Mayfield 7715) 1967
Because (Teddy Van)
E.S.P, [sic] (Teddy Van)
Prod : Teddy Van
'E.S.P.' is the same recording as on Calla 146; the A-side (the 'HIT SIDE',
according to the label), is likewise a ballad, an even better one to these ears.

The Parlettes cut a version, in 1964 on Jubilee. I am informed they
were of the female persuasion, though, so perhaps that's not the one
you're thinking of.

Wow Wow Wow!!.....Wish I could find more eloquent words for my
reaction, but I can't. I only wish I could attend, but I'm having
knee surgery on that very day. I know, very poor timing. Otherwise
I would be there. Someone, Someway, Somehow, has got to promise to
post a minute by minute account of every single thing that takes
place on this very monumental event. I'm hoping to get all the dirt
from my buddy Reparata, but I want to hear everything. Anyone
bringing a camcorder?

Very neat piece! Sounds like an American response to the "Goldfinger"
theme (esp. in Keegan's vocal mannerisms), with a further nod to the
1962 Stefanie Powers/Lee Remick/Glenn Ford vehicle "Experiment In
Terror." I've never heard of Kathy Keegan before this, though -- did
she made any other records?

Boo!
Did I scare you? If not, I can assure you that Claudine Clark will
with her 1962 "Walkin' through a Cemetery," now playing alongside
several other frightful seasonal features in musica. The affectation
Claudine assumes throughout the song sounds like it must have hurt her
throat, and she foreshadows one of Yoko Ono's vocal techniques on the
spoken parts. Neither this song nor its B-side, "The Telephone Game,"
made it onto Claudine's LP or the CD reissue of it. All in all, a
great companion piece to "Peanut Duck," don't you think?
Looking forward to the New York party Wednesday (yes, I'll be there),
David A. Young
