Jean married Ray Fox in 1966. She had worked with Charles
though previously.
I sent her all the Candy Girl tracks but she doesn't believe
she is on them.
We did complete Jean's discography and then we put together
a CD of her best tracks for her.

2 My Ideal - Jean Thomas

22 Life Of The Party - Jeanne Thomas
23 Working Girl - Jeanne Fox
24 All You Had To Do Was Love Me - Jeannie Thomas
25 You're The Root Of My Evil - Jeannie Thomas
She is delighted with this set and has agreed to write up
the history of each track for the Four Seasons UK Collectors
Group and Spectropop members.
On my forthcoming visit to New York I will also get to
personally interview her about her time working with Ellie
Greenwich, Mickie Harris, Bob Crewe and everyone else she can
remember. We may be able to post requested tracks from this
collection to musica soon. So what do you want to hear?

Hazlewood also co-wrote Deano's 1965 A-side "Just A Child In
This World". I wonder if it was recorded at the same session
as "I'm In Love With A Gonk"? He's the same Mike Hazlewood
who later joined The Family Dogg and worked extensively with
fellow Family Dogg-er Albert Hammond.
And my vote for the ultimate Gonk cash-in would be the 1965
gonks-ploitation flick "Gonks Go Beat" -- you can't go wrong
with any movie that features Lulu plus a drum-off featuring
Andy White and Ginger Baker!
Regards,
Scott

Artie, I have Howard Boggess's "Hollywood" (on either Jamie or
Guyden) from the 60s - it sounds like it could have been an
album track. He was also mentioned in S. J. Dibai's Kit Kats
discussion group. Who is/was he? Did he have an album? (Were
you involved?) What else did he do? Is he still alive? Etc.,
etc....
Thanks,
Country Paul
