That would be amazing. Like The Beatles Recording sessions, just a great book.
Your Friend,

Is it possible what you heard was the Evie Sands version of this song? Nicely
done and very Spector-ish.
BW
(Admin Note: If so, which version? Evie did the song twice: at Blue Cat and
later at A & M.)

If this guy from Oakland who wrote the critical review on amazon.com was on
this list, and judging from his review he probably was/is, I don't understand
why he didn't say anything here. It's not like this group isn't open to debate -
we've had a lot. Also, John's on this list too, so I'm not sure why he didn't
write to him directly. My only guess is that he, or she, is jealous or upset
because he was working on his own book (as he sort of alluded to) and now has
more to live up to. As John says, in his introduction, he wants to tell
stories. It's a pretty big jump to start saying it's trying to be a definitive
history.
John, I wouldn't have even so gracious as you. Putting out a message asking
this guy to contact you to discuss it further seems like a waste of time since
he seems to like the claok of anonymity.
My theory is, some people are just bitter about everything. The type of people
who listen to "Sour Grapes" on Dream Babes over and over again until they're so
mad they could spit.
Keep up the good work,
Will : )

somebody please check what was in that issue.

GOLDEN WORLD ALBUM DISCOGRAPHY:
Golden World Label of Detroit was active from 1963 to 1966. The label was
owned by Eddie Wingate and Joanne Jackson. The Golden World label is yellow
with black printing. "gOLDEN WORLD" above the center hole. The label, along
with its subsidiaries Ric-Tic and Wingate, were purchased by Motown in 1968.

Subject: Re: American bad dreams
Besides the music being out out synch with the time frame that they're trying to
depict (my wife hushed me when I pointed out the Manfreds recording), did anyone
else notice that in a scene in a classroom with a nun that the picture of JFK
was draped in black? You'd think that his assassination was a non-event they
way the characters were partying.

No, I heard it too, and my immediate thought was Dave Edmunds,
but now no longer sure...

Subject: Re: The Monkees
Most of Rhino's re-releases of the original Monkees albums have
session dates and studio musicans (a mostly LA's "wrecking crew"
but several tracks during Don Kirshner's reign were recorded
in NYC) - I would love to see a "day-by-day" book of recording
sessions too. It's amazing they recorded so much material in
the 4 years they were together.

Subject: Re: The Reflections
"Just Like Romeo & Juliet" appeared in stereo for the first
time on Varese Sarabande's great "On The Radio - Volume 2"
compiled by Dick Bartley. It wasnt the best mix (the backing
track is mixed too low) but it did prove that stereo tapes
do exist. Golden World was bought out by Motown in the 60s
so they could use their studios - Universal music owns their
master tapes.
