According to the label, Kathy Keegan's "A Study In Terror" is
from the motion picture of the same name. So it doesn't just
sound like a movie theme, it is one. I've not seen the film.
Find more info on it here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059764/
The b-side of the single is a version of Teddy Randazzo and
Victoria Pike's "You Sent Me Silver Bells", a song many of us
know and love by Lesley Gore, from her fabled sessions with
Jack Nitzsche. Find Kathy's rendition playing right now at
musica: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/spectropop/files/musica/
Those who appreciate an English accent might enjoy it best.

An album? Wow! Maybe you could provide us with a track list,
Ed? Might it be possible for you to scan the cover too? And
I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to hear the title
track. Any chance? Grasping? Moi? Well, yes, it seems. Sorry.
In the meantime, I've taken a crack at a...

If I recall correctly, "Little Ricky" (Keith Thibodeaux) was
also a member of David & The Giants, who had recorded for the
Fame label.
"Babalu" was not one of their releases!

Let's not forget the Hit label BEAGLES, which was yet another
Bobby Russell nom de guerre. There was even an attempt at a
"legit" release on Spar by Bobby Russell & The Beagles, a good,
rockin' version of "Roll Over Beethoven" that is fairly easy to
find.

Linda Carr reached #15 in the UK charts of 1975 with "High Wire".
The following year she (and the Funky Boys) reached #36 with "I
sold my soul for rock'n'roll".

"(You Got The) Gamma Goochee" was originally recorded by its
composer, The Gamma Goochee (Himself). It was subsequently
recorded by, among other groups, The Kingsmen, which is where
The Persian Market claim to have heard it.

What isn't mentioned is this isn't merely a Wilkin original, but
a Wilkin-Wilkin-Kristofferson original, before Kris
Kristofferson's wild success as a songwriter. Bucky Wilkin's mom,
Marijohn, and Kristofferson were writing partners at one time.
Bucky also had a chance to record the original version of "Me And
Bobby McGee", with his group The American Eagles on Liberty
(which also included John Wyker of the Rubber Band on Columbia,
and later of Sailcat).
Martin then wrote:

It is everything Bucky mentioned, and more. Look for it in musica
in the coming day or two.

OK, some of you already know that I have a fixation on that
Diamond guy. I know that some of you are also interested in
Brian Wilson.
Well, the Diamond guy has a new album called "12 Songs" coming
out on Tuesday. It's coming out in two forms, one of which is
something called a "Digi-pak" (whatever that is) that costs a
couple of dollars more than the other form. The "Digi-pak"
version contains two extra songs (but is not called "14 Songs"),
one of which is supposed to be a duet of the Diamond guy and
Brian Wilson on a song called "Delirious Love". I've heard it,
and the Diamond guy is the one who carries the lead vocal most
of the way through (unlike the way the Diamond guy and the
Streisand woman traded vocals on their 1978 duet hit).
The Diamond guy has a solo version of this song on both forms of
the new album, so don't get misled by the presence of it on the
non-Digi-pak version.
Also, according to some web sites for the Diamond guy, both of
them are supposed to be on Jay Leno's "Tonight" show on Monday,
Nov. 14.

Hello Rob, I have the song on cd along with everything that Matthew
Reid did before he became D.C.Larue in the 1970's. Send me your name
and address and I will mail out a copy to you.

Subject: The Guilloteens
I know that "I Don't Believe" by the Guilloteens has been
much discussed here, but I have a few further questions:
Does someone out there have the original 45? If so, does
the label bear any producer or arranger credits?
Is the track available on CD, a legit one?
I love this record, in a Lovin' Righteous Spoonful Brothers
kinda way.
Thanks in advance.

Careful, he'll think we S'poppers are stalking him! (smile) I think
I told you that I believe I've worn out his patience with my
questions about his 60's music. Meanwhile, I'm trying to get our
