> PLEASE TELL!!!!
Yes Mark, there is.
Freddie Cannon's Greatest Hits (32 tracks, including demo singles)
was released on Point (CD 16250). Year: ??. Liner notes: nearly zero.
All his big ones are included, I guess.
Also a Pallisades-Park-sound-aliker: Beachwood City.

Subject: Girlie Beatles....and the guys too
All this talk of the girlie Beatle tribute songs, has gotten me
thinking about the guys too. Were there any guys doing Beatle
tributes? I've been trying to get my hands on an unreleased
acetate of a very early Beatles cover done in a Four Freshman-
influenced sound; basically a band unwilling to change with the
trends who recorded the song probably in the spring of '64. Are
there any other early-Beatle covers that you can think of that
were anachronistic of the times?

Subject: Rising Sons
A group of Rising Sons had a Goffin/King song
"You're My Girl" issued in the UK circa '65 on the
Stateside label - It was very Tokenish pop, and was
therefore immediately covered by The Rockin' Berries
whose covers of such harmony fare were pretty well
obligatory at that stage. Could this be the Amy group?

Igor tells me I must sort my inner sanctum - he is
probably right, but I revel in my material cacophony...

The great See For Miles label has done the best job for Freddy
Cannon. Their EP collection includes both his Swan and WB hits and
the volume level is higher than Rhino's Best Of. SFM has also
released 6 of his original albums on 3 CDs (try Bang On/Steps Out for
his 1962-3 Swan stuff).
In the US, Varese have issued a Best Of, a 20 tracker, but of this
Swan sides only.
All 6 are available from amazon.co.uk, or from the main import
dealers in the US.
Want that big BOOM BOOM sound? Go for SFM's EP Collection.

Subject: Re: Bernadette Peters
I had no idea Bernadette Peters had a teenage recording career
before her stage and screen success. I've always been a fan of
hers. She has just released a new CD of Richard Rogers songs.
She also recently starred in the Broadway revival of Annie Get
Your Gun, and the accompanying cast album. She won a Tony Award
for that a couple of years ago. She still looks and sounds amazing.
My guess is she's about 52 now? Time has been kind to her.

Subject: Re: Captain of Your Ship / Freddy Cannon
There's another version of "Captain of Your Ship," this one by
Bette Bright (ex-Deaf School) and the Illuminations. It came out
~1979, and its kind of "punked-up" with lots of loud guitars, etc.
Quite wonderful, actually.
Mark Wirtz asked about a Freddy Cannon Best Of - both Rhino and
Varese have Best Ofs available, and See For Miles has issued several
of his individual albums.

Subject: Bryndle
Good news for Bryndle/Andrew Gold fans. They finally have a second
album out. Andrew is involved, but not to the same extent that he
was on the first album. It can be ordered at www.bryndle.com. Right
now, that is the only place to get it, although they hope it to be
distributed more widely soon. I just ordered it, so I can't comment
on the sound, but the samples on the website sounded great.

Subject: Gap commercial
Can anyone tell me the title/artist for the song in the new Gap denim
commercial? It starts out: "There's laughter on the wind/it's everywhere
I go"? I should know that, but I don't. Thanks.

The mystery song is 20 Years Ago In Speedy's Kitchen by TC Atlantic.
It was originally issued on Parrot. There's a Best of T.C. Atlantic
that just came out on CD.

>>>>>>Bill, its The Animals "Love Is all Around".
This recently came available in stereo (well, the strings are alone
on the left channel, now we know they did a stage overdub on the basic
track). Pretty cool, actually.

Sure...Rhino did it as well. All the Swan stuff. Freddie was a helluva
fella to interview, real loose and relaxed, pretense-free and we had a
million chuckles. He's an Oldies Circuit survivor living comfortably
in LA these days (at least as of '96!)

Hi,
To read Kingsley's musings on the wunnerful KOLETTES simply click here
http://www.acerecords.co.uk/etrackretail.html follow the simple
instructions and the next issue of Right Track will be sent to you by
the modern version of carrier pigeon. Technology!
Wish I'd been there to see the Soul Sisters at Klooks Kleek. Did you get
to witness Sugar Pie De Santo, Kingsley? I hear she made the cuddly duo
seem quite schoolmarmy in comparison. Do tell.
MICK PATRICK
PS Boris sends his thanks to Igor for the Peanut EP and enquires after
the safe arrival of the Untouchables C7. They should both get back to
work if you ask me.
