Just a minor correction to Erik's welcome and comprehensive reply to Scott's
request:
> "11897 DEAN MARTIN: Save the last dance for me/Will you love me tomorrow"
Should be JEAN Martin, a girl. I don't think Decca got Dean (or Frank, or Sammy
Jr.) on their books!
Jean's cover of "Save the Last Dance For Me" is featured on the available
CD "The Girl's Scene" (Deram 844 897-2), compiled by Ian Chapman, which I and
others have raved about before. It was also on the deleted LP "Girl Zone"
(Impact 008), compiled by Mick Patrick.

Subject: Mark Wirtz Anthology News
For all those who have written to me about the Anthology (and anyone else
who is interested)... it's close to being finished. I've posted some
information to Mark's new, and yet to be announced, official web site. A
link is below.
Two CDs are available now: Philwit & Pegasus (Expanded Edition) and Mark
Wirtz Pop Works. The latter is a one CD version of the Anthology for those
who only want the late 60s material. It's a fun CD in its own right with
rare Kenny Everett commercials (produced with Mark) in between the tracks.
I'm happy to say that Pop Works is receiving rave reviews from those who
have gotten copies.
I will soon be in touch with anyone who has written me already. If you are
interested in hearing more about these collections of ultra rare Mark Wirtz
material, please write me off list.
Here is the link (while you are there please sign Mark's guest book!):

Long before anyone even thought of something like the "net". Paul Pelletier
compiled an impressive amount of infos to publish the first records
catalogues ever available in the UK. There was no other way to find such
informations back in the 60s and 70s. His catalogues (which I bought at the
time and still own) remain invaluable tools for anyone interested in vinyls.
True the net made some of these infos available freely but I suspect that
many sites where you can find discographies certainly found their basis in
Pelletier's catalogues.
Saying that "it sucks that Mr. Pelletier is making money with it" is like
saying that it sucks that any artists or producers are making money by
having their recordings sold in record shops when you can download them for
free on the net.

That's funny, I dreamt last night that I met Bruce Johnston
and had a chat with him about how writing songs gets more
difficult as you get older. I guess the Beach Boys are just
so life altering they're bound to crop up in your dreams now
and then!
Regards, Guy.

Bill, I am glad to hear that I am not the only person
who can clearly hear favorite singers sing songs that they
have never actually sung, except in my head! Usually, though,
I have this happen when I'm awake, rather than dreaming.
It's very interesting, isn't it? One time, though, I did have
a dream in which Cher sang a song I had never heard her sing
before. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember the song when I
woke up.
Once, while driving down the road with the car radio on, I
heard a song that I believe was by Tony Orlando (without Dawn)
- a pop/rock song from his early career. I could immediately
hear the song being sung by my special favorites, Nino Tempo
and April Stevens, and thought to myself that I wished I could
have a record of them singing it. I can't remember what song
it was, but it would have been absolutely perfect for Tempo/
Stevens in their White Whale era.
How many of the rest of you in this group can hear your favorites
singing songs they never sang?
Mary ("Niagara")
