Anyone out there a big fan of barefooted singer, Sandie Shaw
of the UK? I always loved her voice. I have some of her
singles and two LPs, one that has songs such as "I'll Stop At
Nothing" (my all-time favorite Sandie Shaw song - very powerful)
and "Lemon Tree" (the song that Trini Lopez had a hit with),
and an album in which Sandie wrote the songs she sings. I
haven't played anything from THAT album in years, so I guess
I should get it out and put it on the turntable.

Maybe so, but video and audio quality will be MUCH better on the
Sullivan DVDs, as they came from 2-inch Quad videotape masters.
Also, the audio tracks were denoised and boosted in level. The
"Hullabalo" DVDs (and I have them all) were made from terrible
quality kinescopes, 75% of them in black and white.
I don't mind paying a bit extra for the Sullivan DVDs as long as
the quality really is what I expect. After all, where else but
the bootleg video market could you get this stuff? AND, the boots
are really lousy, multigenerational trash. Be happy the DVDs
are available!!

Yup, that singer sure was rewarded with some sort of career.
Her name was ROBIN WARD. You may remember that the "Wonderful
Summer" gal was the subject of many postings some months back.
Not all of them were written by an obsessive fan named, errr,
Mick Patrick.
Check out:

ROBIN WARD GOES SURFIN'
http://www.spectropop.com/archive/digest/m757.html
I'd also very strongly recommend the following Partridge
Family website which contains the best Robin Ward interview
you're ever likely to read, not to mensh some ultra cool pix:
http://www.cmongethappy.com/interviews/jw/index.html
According to "Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Singles" (published by
Record Research Inc), the singing voice of Speedy Gonzales was
supplied by the legendary Mel Blanc. However, I have no doubt
that Robin was telling the truth when she said that that voice
was hers. Blanc's voice WAS the one used in the cartoon, though.
Before I drag myself off to work, I'd like to express my thanks
to Keith for driving punters to and from the Spectropop Party
IN HIS CAR - ouch!

My source says it's Jackie Ward, aka Robin Ward ("Wonderful Summer").
She definitely had some sort of career!

Well, that "fabulous female voice" did have quite a career. As
Bugs Bunny, Barney Rubble, and Jack Benny's Maxwell, to name a few.
The Man of a Thousand Voices, Mel Blanc, did the Speedy Gonzales voice
both in the cartoons and on the Pat Boone single.

I was looking through some old record surveys from WIBG in
Philadelphia from 1967. The Wibbage Top 99 always had a few
records that were otherwise obscure. Any Spectropop material
in this list from August14, 1967?
#97 Put Your Mind at Ease - Every Mother's Son
#95 Love What You're Doing to Me - Janet and the Jays
#94 Nothing I Can Do About It - Mike and the Censations
#87 With You Girl - Arbors
#71 Balla Balla- The Rainbows
#66 Go On - United Four
#58 Frightened Little Girl - The July 4
#56 The Pleasure of Your Company - S.N. & the Ct's
#41 The Sweetest Thing This Side of Heaven - Chris Bartley
I have several years of WIBG and WFIL surveys that we could mine
for Spectropop gold if any of these turn out to be good.

It was Jackie Ward, better known as Robin "Wonderful Summer" Ward.
She was much more than a one hit wonder!

Here in Miami, the follow-up did even better. "If You Gotta Go,
Go Now" reached #4 on WFUN the week of July 29, 1966. That song
was apparently very popular here -- Manfred Mann's version reached
#21 on WQAM the week of November 6, 1965!
I hear the music coming out of your radio...

Great to see you at the bash, Kingsley, after all this
time. Let's not leave it another hundred years. Yer right,
"that Malcolm" sure does a mean Mashed Potato! But can he
do the Camel Walk? And if not, there's no way Sarah (aka
Tourette), Sue (Crepe Suzette), Nicola (Roulette), Jo
(Strumpette), Loretta (Alumette) or Delia (Dansette) would
ever consider him for the Actionettes!
It looks like some of the Spectropop Partygoers might be
reconvening at the girls' next club night. More on that
nearer the time.

Hi Spectropoppers!
Thanks to all those involved in The Spectropop party! I'm the
only Actionette on the Spectropop mailing list and tried my best
to explain to the others what it all involved but I think it all
clicked into place when they saw the video playlist and record
stall, heard the DJ track listings and met you all....
We all had a really nice time and thank you to to Phil and Mick
for helping us sort out the music, introducing us to fab vocalist
Elisabeth and thank you to whoever provided the buffet! It was
scrummy! It was lovely to meet the rest of you too...
We're doing a show this Thursday with Bobby Conn and The Kings
Have Long Arms but I'm not sure how our 60s style moves/music will
go down with an electro-clash evening!!!!!! erm....but anyway...
more info on future events at http://www.actionettes.com if anyone
wants to know more....Thank you for having us!

Hello Spectropoppers,
For years now I've always wondered the identity of New Voice record
813 as I have never found any info on what record went with that
catalog number, well here it is:
Diane Renay - Soldgier Boy / Words
It's not listed in Tom Neely's book, and every label discography
I've read (and Diane's as well) there is no info on this 45.
So Diane has three 45's on New Voice.
Now if anybody has any info on New Voice 829...
Cheers,
Leonardo

I believe the Rainbows were German. This record was a big hit in
Germany.

Definite Spectropop territory here. A harmony pop group on Cameo
(#480) that must have only cut one song in the studio, since the flip
("Mr. Miff") is the instrumental track.

Also known as "Stark Naked & The Car Thieves"! This song was also

Superb singer who did some excellent work with Van McCoy. His album
of the same name (on Vando) has some really good tracks.

Surely there's both a female AND a male voice besides Pat
Boone's on the record - Robin Ward did the "la, la, laaaaa.."
and it seems Mel Blanc did the "hey, Rosita, I have to go
shopping downtown....etc etc!!!"

Subject: the Murmaids
Many thanks to Country Paul for drawing our attention to the
newish CD by that most gentle of 60s girl groups, the Murmaids.
For those who are interested I'd point out that the tracks on
their earlier CD, "Popsicles and Icicles" on Collectables are
the same as on their earlier Chattahoochee LP "The Murmaids
Resurface" (CHLP 628).
For true fan(atic)s I've listed below all the singles I know
of by the group and by original member Terry Fischer and latter
day member Cathy Brasher. I don't know of another case of a
record having FOUR alternative flipsides, as with their hit
"Popsicles and Icicles". "Huntington Flats" seems to be the
most common in the USA but "Comedy and Tragedy" is the one to
go for as it's one of only two of the four by the group and is
not, so far as I'm aware, available elsewhere. In the UK, all
copies had "Comedy and Tragedy" as the flip. I think this was
the only UK release by any of these artists.
By general comment, the Cathy Brasher records were generally of
the bright classic girl group sound rather than the gentle (used
it before but can't think of a better description) Murmaids or
Terry Fischer records. "Song Through Perception" is very
distinctive and a great track - in the folk-rock idiom that was
then becoming popular and rather more like the self-penned
records by the Cake (see previous Spectropop postings) than the
Murmaids sound. As always on Spectropop, if anyone can add to
this or spot any errors, please don't hesitate to do so.
The Murmaids:
Popsicles And Icicles/Bunny Stomp (instrumental)
- Chattahoochee 628 (1963)
Popsicles And Icicles/Huntington Flats (instrumental)
- Chattahoochee 628 (1963)

Hi Will,
I have seen videos of the Doo-Wop specials that PBS
has been broadcasting during their fund raisers being
advertised on the regular stations for under $30.00.
I cannot attest to the quality but I would imagine
the tapes are good. I have just seen the Doo-Wop
series being advertised. I am hoping to catch the PBS
with Lesley Gore that was done recently.
Keep an eye open and you will see these videos at some
point. Hope you find what you are looking for,

Hello Spectropop,
WHAT A HOEDOWN, WHAT A BASH! Thanks to all of you who attended
the London Spectropop gathering. It was a treat to read the
postings of those of you who were in attendance; an opportunity
to share in the festivities, albeit vicariously.
What a playlist! As has been mentioned by other Spectropoppers,
wouldn't it be fantastic to have a CD set of these great tracks.
The assemblage of video clips was just as impressive.
Like many of you have mentioned, I too would have found myself
standing in the stairwell listening to all the great songs and
then running downstairs to catch some of the great artists
presenting their music on video.
Again, thanks to all of you who were there for sharing this
