Hi there
I think these are songs recorded by Petula Clark for the
French market.

I guess a little bit of right-thinking nepotism never
hurt anybody. For there is a terrific version of this
Wine-composed song on the Pet Clark album, "Memphis",
which was produced by Toni's former husband, Chips
Moman.

Hi -
If my memory serves, the poster for the Move at the
Fillmore West has the Daily Flash as the opening act.
Of course, I could be totally wrong....

I was of that opinion ,especially noting the quizmaster's
"name". But "Well Respected Man", "Hello Mary Lou" indeed
and what about "Calendar Girl" !! Some songs transcend a
change of sex but pleezzzeee.!! I can't imagine "our Pet"
doing social comment on "Where Do You Go". Oh to hell
with it, Petula Clark please step forward.

Ken, "Que Reste-T'il?" by Petula Clark is rather good! Smoothly
recorded, remaining fairly faithful to Sonny Bono's arrangement.
Come to think of it, her French version of "Needles And Pins"
also sounds pretty close to the original.
I guess Antonio has got it right? Petula was/is very prolific
en français.

Must be the album where Pat does his version of "Never Going
Back" in an arrangement very similar to the Spoonful version.
Also wanted to add to the recent discussion regarding The Daily
Flash. Their guitarist Doug Hastings was very briefly a member
of the Buffalo Springfield, filling in for Neil Young.

Hi Ken
Well in fact the lyrics were a bit rearranged on these songs
so "Hello Mary Lou" was "Bye, Bye mon amour" (Bye, Bye, my
love) thought "Calendar girl" remained with the same title.
You should see some Spanish titles of English songs when
they received the cover treatment!!!
Los Dart released in the sixties "Devil in her heart" as
"No tienes nada que explicar" (You have nothing to explain),
for example.
It's funny how many people have learned some songs released
on foreign markets with lyrics that had nothing whatsoever
to do with the originals and when years later they have heard
the original versions they found the stories the songs told
were completely different :-)

Subject: Best 60's era revival
Folks, I get CDs all the time at the station here and
sometimes the bio material claims the music recalls the
great pop of the 60s. Most of the time I am sorely
disappointed. It made me think about the best 60s
inspired pop music recorded. I can't think of many but
certainly The Spongetones come to mind. Their LP "Beat
Music" from 1982 was fantastic with great songs like
"Here I go again", "Tell me too" and "She goes out with
everybody." I also think the XTC side project Dukes of
the Stratosphear "25 0'clock" was really quite groovy.
Any thoughts? I sure would like to get some new "old"
stuff I missed along the way.
Cheers,
Neil

Toni Wine DID record her own version of this song, but it
wasn't the original. She released a single of "Groovy..."
in 1971 (Atco 6800), and she did it as a sexy soul ballad
. . . her satin/sandpaper voice fit the arrangement perfectly.
It's certainly the best version of the song I've ever heard.

Subject: who -are- these people?
hi, everyone. i've picked up a couple of 45s recently and
was wondering if any of you might be able to provide some
information on them.
the first is by a group called the summer winds. it's "another
time" c/w "high horse" on metromedia records from mid-'69. the
only name on the label that i recognize is curt boettcher, who
gets the songwriting credit for "another time". it was produced
by one michael gordon, and arranged by george tipton.
the second one is the sundowners "dear undecided" c/w "always
you" on decca. these are bones howe productions, and "always
you" was co-written by tony asher.
and that's it. anything that anybody can provide me would be
greatly appreciated.
thanks,
tinks.

The cosmic Rough Riders album "Enjoy the melodic sunshine"
is a great one for late 60's influenced harmony pop.
Really good album.
Edwyn Collins single - "A Girl Like You" also had a great
60's vibe to it. Mainly I think because his studio is comprised
of vintage recording gear.
"Give Me A Little More Time" by Gabrielle is I think one of
the best Motown style tracks you will hear.

Subject: Need some clarification
Hello Spectropoppers,
I need someone who knows to tell me who sang the vocals on
"It's Up To You Petulia" / "Let's Make It Up" by the Edison
Lighthouse. (Bell BLL-9367) Australia
I have never been satisfied that it was Tony Burrows and had
this misconception (maybe) that it was Peter Nelson (Lipscom).
I know that Tony Burrows worked with Arnold-Martin-Morrow
around about 1974.
And since I am about taxing the collective knowledge...
Is the Harley Quinne pressing of "In A Moment of Madness",
(b-side to New Orleans) (Bell 2008 102) Australia, the same
take from the Flowerpot Men/White Plains sessions that ended
up on White Plains LP.
I am hoping someone will put me straight..
Thanks,
Norman

Hi Neil
You should listen to Liverpool Echo self titled album.
They predate the Spongetones, Rutles and Utopia albums
that paid hommage to the Beatles sound by some years!!!
Unfortunately nobody seemed to care at the time.

I've always wondered about who the Sundowners REALLY were.
I know they were a "studio" group but that's all I do know.
"Dear Undecided" is one of my favorite Beatles songs the
Beatles never did and Always You is just a great Nicholls/
Asher tune. Both are on the Captain Nemo album and to my
ears very few of the songs sound like the same band. It
seems to my ears that they were trying to release the next
Sgt Pepper or Revolver?
