Subject: Teach Me Tiger
I've heard a song on TV a couple times recently that is most
likely called "Teach Me Tiger." It is cooed in a very sexy female
voice. Anyone know who sings this?

Hey Jeff - thanks so much for uploading those tracks! Great stuff.
If they concentrated more on a central colorful character they
would resemble some of Mr. Wirtz's Teenage Opera efforts. And
that's a good thing. If there's more from the Zekley sessions
around, I'd definitely like to hear it. Why do great endeavors
like Teenage Opera, Smile, and this project go unfinished while
things like Rick Wakeman's King Arthur are always completed?
One of the great, tragic mysteries of life.

I'm talkin' SINGLES, Mikey, SINGLES. Those don't qualify, although they are
definitely bubblegum records.

Not much on Gary Usher, I'm afraid, because of space limitations, but he is
mentioned.

Not bubblegum, but very good, I agree! Annette has said the BABES IN
TOYLAND soundtrack was some of the most difficult singing she'd ever done.

"The Monkey's Uncle"
I LOVE that California 'accent' when she sings "in order to be with heee-eee-yum."

I just heard it on Billy Spradlin's GG Radio at Live 365 for
the first time recently too. I think I remember it being by
April Stevens. Am I right? Nino Tempo's sister. Very sexy and
suggestive - what every girl group song should be : )

Subject: I'm new here
My growing obsession of Phil Spector led me to joining this group.
I have a few questions, mainly about the Phil Spector Outtakes.
I searched the archive on this site and it helped a little, but
I still want to know more. Obviously these aren't commercially
available, correct? It seems like a boot, but I couldn't find
it on the Midnight Records site. If it is a boot, I won't bother
asking where to get it because I know how hard it would be to
come by from searching for Beach Boys boots in the past...
And speaking of Beach Boys boots.. I'm also a member of the bbmp3
group. I'm sure a few of you know how they upload BB boots to ftp's
and other places for members to download. If it's not done already,
it would be nice if the outtakes were uploaded in this fashion.
I don't mean to come off too aggressively, but I'm sure others would
also like to hear these tracks. If the outtakes are commercially or
readily available, then shame on me..... I'm not out to rip off
Mr. Phil, but if they are in fact boots, why pay the big bucks when
only the bootleggers profit? And if it's already uploaded somewhere,
Shame on me again for babbling and wasting space. Thanks.
ADMIN NOTE:
If any member wishes to help Neil out would they please contact him
off list.
Thank you,
Team Spectropop

Hi,
Can someone tell me the line-up on Dusk's "I Hear Those Church Bells
Ringing".
I remember being told that the lead vocalist had been in an early 60s group
but the name escapes me.
thanks
Norman

Ron, last year I got to hear an obscure Gary Usher production
called "He's Hurtin' Me" by Beverly Williams. It's a superb job
and deserves to be right up there with all the girl classics.
Do you have any info?

April Stevens. Which version did you hear? The original starts
with a typical early 60s-style arpeggiated guitar, and April
breathes "Hi Tiger...", whereas "Teach Me Tiger 1965" has a "Stand By
Me"-type rhythm feel, and a Nino/Spector sound to it. I like both
versions.

My fave has always been that "Stand By Me"-version, which was the one
featured on the UK TV ad.
But there is a third version, or rather another version of "Teach Me
Tiger '65". It's on Mick's "Where The Girls Are 4". It's a
completely different take - different backing track and vocal, but
best of all it has a hilarious intro that sets the scenario thus:
(Cue sound of car screeching to a stop, a crash, lots of broken
glass) Then a plummy English male voice says:
"What are we stopping on this lonely road for?"
"Gee, it looks like my car's outta gas", replies April.
"Oh no", says the guy, clearly terrified (he seems oblivious to the
fact that she's just crashed the car!)
"Oh yes......", purrs April, and launches into the song!
I'm still not clear where this version actually originated from. Can
you elaborate Mick??

Leonardo,
For Fox Sake was the title of an LP by a group called The Fox.
It was Crewe CR1336. Don't know anything about a film by that name.

You forgot the utterly amazing "Don't Stop Now" which features
some blasting fuzz guitar and Annette kicking ass singing about
feelin "like a motherless child". It rocks! Another great one
is "Muscle Hustle" - "...everybody kick the sand, just like a
muscle man...". "Jamaica Ska" is great, as of course are "Monkey's
Uncle", "First Name Initial" and "Tall Paul".
Fantastic!
Ridiculous!
Annette!!
God bless her.
