Is that what prompted the name "Shadow Mann"?

There was no brass band on it, but there was a great guitarist,
name of Jimmy Miller, playing a great fuzz or some contraption
on the middle 8, as well as a Scots Piper wailing away in the
intro and outro. This track really motors along, its long been
one of my favourites since I first heard it as a 13 year old
when it was a plug record on one of the North Sea pirate ships
(Swinging Radio England, a station owned by a Texan called Don
Pierson. So it must have been Summer 66.)
Every time I read this forum i end up digging someone out of my
collection - I love it!

Subject: Deano "Baby Let Me Be Your Baby"
Just when I think I've sent "Deano" the correct info on
"Please, Don't Talk To The Lifequard" and just when I sent
her mp3 copies of Diane Ray and Andrea Carroll versions of
the song and just after I inform her that her uk Columbia
release of "Lifeguard" was the last of the three and that -
it wasn't really her song - I find a Patti Jerome copy of
"Baby, Let Me Be Your Baby". Anybody know the dates. It
looks like "Deano's" entire musical career may have been uk
covers of American hits and that history may be very well
repeating itself.
Appreciate any info

Ronnie - your story, and the 45 probably IS worth the $100.

I got a call from Nino today. I wished him a belated 71st
birthday (which is really unbelievable. He looks more like 51).
I took the opportunity to read him your beautifully-written
tribute. He was clearly very touched. He told me it was really
nice to know he's still remembered by so many, even though
quite a few of them are now remembering Stan Getz instead.

I agree with Mick, this is some kind of amazing production.
Obviously a lot of effort went into it. Tons of atmosphere.
If someone knew how to clean it up, it would be a major girl
group classic in my opinion.
While on the topic of mysterious songs referring to Angels,
can anyone help me identify a song from circa 1968, with the
lyrics:
"I can hear a crying angel sing,
She is crying for the sadness
Tomorrow's sins may bring."
It is British, and a mixed group of male and female voices,
definite not a girl group sound, more in the folkie vein. I
have not heard it since the time, but the lyrics come back to
haunt me occasionally, and I would love to identify it and
track it down.

Subject: A Claire Francis Production
As usual, it is my extremely great pleasure to announce the
presence in musica of two more Claire Francis productions.
Details :
UK Bonds - Polydor 56112 (1966)
Anything you do is alright c/w The last thing I ever do
Both sides produced by Claire Francis.
I already had the first UK Bonds 45 and only assumed this one
would also have been A Claire Francis Production, just because
it fit the timeframe. Now that can be backed up with hard evidence.
The A-side is a typical Swinging 60s song, whereas the B-side...
let's just say, is there too...
If you wanna check out the labels, they're at http://users.skynet.be/rockofages/Clairefrancis/
And since we're on the subject of Claire...
if you can add anything to that discography...please do !

Phil...actually, Shadow Mann meant someone who was
behind the scene.
