Subject: Herb Bernstein -- '60s discography
Somebody asked about Herb Bernstein recently, which prompted me to
have another look at a listing of his work I've been working on
(off and on) for about three years.
I've hit a dead end trying to track down the last few of his BMI listed
songs, and since the list is probably as complete as it's gonna get
I've decided to post it as a Xmas present to my Spectropop friends.
If anybody can fill in the few missing producer credits or add to the
list I'd be grateful.
Writer credits have been omitted in most cases where Herb wasn't the
writer or co-writer.

Subject: Time to jump in......
I've belonged to this group for quite a long time now, but there's
so many experts here, I haven't really felt like I've had a lot to
contribute. So, hi, nice to meet all of you. I've .enjoyed learning
how much I really haven't known about music!
I got an e-mail from my godson who's currently living in London, and
since he was born, we've always shared a common love of all things
music. (As a sort of legacy to him when he turned 21, I gave him ALL
my vinyl, going back to about 1963. Yeah, still sometimes can't believe
I did it, either...LOL!)
Anyway, in his latest e-mail he told me about some friends of his that
have a girl group called The Pipettes. I thought I'd share their link
with all of you, in case you're interested in checking them out:
http://www.thepipettes.co.uk
It's really different to me than most of the new music groups around
these days, and I'd never heard of them here in the States. While
looking around the website, I found three Christmas songs, too.
Happy holidays to all!

Einar Einarsson Kvaran asked:
> It ["Apache"] was written by "Lordan" -- was that Jerry Lordan?
Yes, Jerry Lordan was the secret weapon behind the Shadows. Most
Americans know "Apache" which he wrote, but nothing else. In addition
to the instrumentals that he wrote he wrote "I'm A Moody Guy" which
Shane "Call Me Alvin" Fenton had a hit with in the pre-Beatles days.
One of the few pre-Beatle British rockers worth a listen.
It's interesting that Lordan wrote for Tony and Jet after they jumped
ship. I would be curious to know if The Shadows continued to do his
tunes afterwards. He's definately worth a piece. I think one of the
Shadows sites does have something on him.

"Tommy Lesslie" is actually Snuff Garrett, longtime Liberty Records
head of production. He co-wrote several songs with Leon Russell
under that name.

After looking at Lyn's wonderful http://www.poparchives.com.au site,
I am now wondering whether I shouldn't be asking for the Eternal Flame
version. That seems to be the one that was released in the US.

Hello everybody!
Here's a tribute to the late, great Shadows drummer Tony Meehan:
his own composition "See You In My Drums" (not a typo but a
wordplay), from 1961.

Going through my old Shadows 45s I find Lordan writing
"Mustang" from an EP with Harris & Meehan on the cover and
then "Atlantis" in 1963 [not sure who is playing on it] and
finally "Petrina Lordan" writes "A Place in the Sun", also
1963.
So ... I'd say this is inconclusive as to what happened
between the Shadows, Harris, Meehan and Jerry Lordan around
1963. But I am quite sure that someone out there knows.
