Subject: Re: What's Going On Here - Sloan & Barri
Hi Francesc -
The versions of "Can I Get to Know You Better" and "You Baby"
are Sloan/Barri demos. They were otherwise unreleased until
Varese Vintage Records recently put them out on the CD compilation
"P.F. Sloan: Child of Our Times - The Trousdale Demo Sessions"
(Varese Vintage 302 066 1572). "Take Me for What I'm Worth" is
the previously released P.F. Sloan version. All of the other cuts
on there are previously released versions.
The Trousdale Music Sampler LP is pretty rare -- probably worth
$40-$50 in near mint condition (although the value may be decreased
now that the Sloan tracks are otherwise available). The copy I
have is mono; I'm not sure if it was available in stereo and mono,
or mono only.

No it wasn't. It was written by Earl Carroll and Billy Guy. Not
one of the Coasters' finest moments but the Hollies did a good
job on it. I just hope Carroll and Guy got some royalties from
all the cover versions.

Hi all. Ron Dante has just uploaded his new version of Andy
Kim's "Rock Me Gently" onto his web site. The track features
background vocals by none other than Mr. Kim himself. If you
want to check it out, head on over to Ron Dante Online at

Also on the site is "Summer in the City," Ron's new duet with

Although Leiber and Stoller wrote a lot of the Coasters' material,
group members Earl "Speedo" Carroll and Billy Guy wrote, "(Ain't
That) Just Like Me". There is a marvelous Coasters' web site at:

Billy writes:

"Saturday Night Out" was another composition by the prolific Tony
Hatch using the pseudonym, Mark Anthony. His other composition for
the Searchers', "Sugar And Spice" saw his other pseudonym, Fred
Nightingale in use.
"Saturday Night Out" did appear on the flipside of the US version
of "Needles And Pins" (Kapp 577) as that 45 was released with two
different b-sides.
The song was also the theme from a film of the same name from 1963.
It is reviewed in the latest edition of Psychotronic magazine.
Michael Weldon writes "some will want to see this for the original
line up of the Searchers playing live in a smoky pub. They do the
excellent theme song, then (in the background) "When The Saints…""
Psychotronic's publisher/editor, Michael Weldon has a tremendous
understanding of rock and roll and all the editions are loaded with
cross-references. I recommend the magazine to those who might be
feeling the same way about what's on at the multiplex as they do
about what's on the radio. Details are at:

Sounds to me like the songs you mention are the
original demos, the same ones that appear on Varese
Vintage's "Child Of Our Times: The Trousdale Demo
Sessions 1965-67". The album you mentioned sounds like
a collection of demos meant for shipping to
prospective artists to record, much like the Metric
Recording LPs recorded by Jackie DeShannon around the
same time. As far as I know, P.F. Sloan's demos
weren't released commercially under his and/or Steve
Barri's names, and Sloan didn't have his own
commercial release until 1967, the "Child Of Our
Times" LP.
Can you provide a full tracklisting?

Subject: Re: Oldies Radio
With KB 1520 Buffalo, and Cincy's 1530 beside it at
night, "Oldies" Radio is in better shape, IMnot-soHO,
than it has been in years.
I have been thinking of developing a concept to give
such stations one element they are missing that
original Top 40-50-60 stations had - some new songs
added every week! What if on their all request shows
they had a segment where "new" old songs got played,
and listeners could call or email, saying which of
three (or all or none) of the 3 songs played they'd
like to have added to the rotation for a while? I'd
start with "Play Those Oldies, Mr. D.J" by Anthony and
the Sophomores, "No Salt On Her Tail" by Mamas and
Papas, and "What Kind of Fool Do You Think I Am?" by
Del Shannon.
Would like-minded 'poppers contact me off list with
other suggestions, or what they think of the idea, and
I'll report back with a synopsis?
And, if anyone is interested in my new book of a
woman's Civil War Letters, (or my novelty song "Smells
Like Camp Granada" for that matter), let me know about
that too!

Great news! I've already booked my flight to the US and will
be around the New York area at Party Time. Admittedly I should
be some miles away the night of the party (Steubenville, Ohio -
home to the greatest American that ever lived) as an escort for
my wife Sue at the Dean Martin Festival but I'm sure I'll be

Subject: Nancy Sinatra
Nancy Sinatra has had at least two CDs issued of her pre-Boots
material. The most desirable would be the one from Japan's A-side
label, "Nancy Sinatra : Early Years" (A-side AZ-8004). I bet we all
wished we had bought everything this label put out before it ceased
operation in the mid-90s. I have made a number of attempts to connect
with our Japanese members to see whether or not A-side CDs can be
obtained from Japanese dealers, but to no avail. Here's the track
list:
1. Cuff Links And A Tie Clip
2. Not Just A Friend
3. Like I Do
4. To Know Him Is To Love Him
5. Tonight You Belong To Me
6. You Can Have Any Boy
7. I See The Moon
8. Put Your Head On My Shoulder
9. Think Of Me
10. June, July And August
11. One Way
12. Cruel War
13. Thanks To You
14. Tammy
15. Where Do The Lonely Go
16. Just Think About The Good Times
17. There Goes The Bride
18. This Love Of Mine
19. The Answer To Everything
20. True Love
In addition, Marginal in Belgium put out a CD of similar material
but that is deleted. I have asked the folks over there to advise
me if one becomes available.
But you know, isn't the onus on Rhino Records to do the right thing
and issue a compilation CD of Nancy's early Reprise 45s. I'm sure
she has enough fans to make it a strong catalog item. Failing that,
they should turn the tapes over to Sundazed (who reissued Nancy's
albums) and prod them into bringing out a CD.

Subject: (That Ain't) Just Like Me
The song the Beatles are shown performing at the
Cavern on the "Anthology" DVD (and the VHS, and the
ABC special, and incidentally in "The Compleat
Beatles") is actually "Some Other Guy", an obscurity
by Richie Barrett that was also a staple of Merseybeat
bands, maybe more so than the aforementioned
Coasters/Hollies/Searchers song. The flipside, "Tricky
Dickie", was also tackled by a number of Brit artists,
including the Searchers, Mark Peters and the
Silhouettes, the Undertakers and the Mindbenders. So
far, I don't think the original Richie Barrett version
has been compiled on CD. It would have been a natural
for Varese's "American Roots Of The British Invasion"
comp.
So far, the Hollies and the Searchers are the only
groups I know of that actually recorded "Ain't That
Just Like Me," but off the top of my head I can think
of the following groups that recorded "Some Other
Guy": The Big Three, The Searchers, Johnny Kidd and
the Pirates, The Beatles (for the BBC), and oddly
enough, Freddie and the Dreamers. Some forgotten US
garage band, whose name I forget, also recorded it,
and it appears on AIP's "Essential Pebbles Vol. 1",
which shows that the Liverpudlians weren't the only
group to pick up on this chestnut.
Incidentally, the original Coasters version of "Just
Like Me" was on the "Coast Along With The Coasters"
LP.

Various other stations play segments like this. Check your area
freeform operations if you're lucky enough to have them - or go
on the net. E.g.,this morning on WFMU (91.1 around MYC and
http://www.wfmu.org) Charlie (9-12am) played The Shaggs' "Philosophy
of the World", a track from Tipsy's current CD, The Beatles' "To
Know Him Is To Love Him" from the BBC sessions, something I missed
the ID for, and Buddy Holly's "Well Alright". (Then I got out of
the car and went to work.)
As Stewart Mason wrote: "I'm not suggesting 1978 songs INSTEAD

You obviously (as I do) have a higher regard for Joe Average

I was actually privileged to see Norah Jones play live in a
surprise appearance inder a nom de plume at a club in NYC,
standing about 3 1/2 feet away from her. She was indeed very
good - but not as overwhelming as I would expect with all the
attendant hype. Frankly, I think that she sounds so different
from all the divas and slick pop on Contemporary Hit Radio -
plus she's no slouch in the looks department - that significant
success, if not the overwhelming amount she's attracted, was
inevitable.
John Frank:

Is "June, July and August" the one originally done by Linda
Laurie (who also did "Abrose (Part 5)"? And does anyone have
any info on her?
Mary S.:

But wouldn't the Paris Sisters fit as "whisper singers"? And
they were a main attraction to this group for me. I am indeed
"down with you" regarding rap (oops, excuse the vernacular!).
Sheila: NYC party - YES! I'll bring my wife, too. (May I

Linda Laurie made quite a few records, including:
Ambrose (Pt. 5)/Ooh What A Lover (Glory 290, 1958)
Forever Ambrose/Where He Goes I Go Glory 294, 1959)
Stay With Me/All Winter Long (Andie 5015, 1960)
Prince Charming/Soupin' Up Your Motor (Rust 5022, 1960)
Stay At Home Sue (Rust 5042, 1963)
Chicken Little/Return Of Ambrose (Rust 5061, 1963)
Where Do You Go/Lucky (Recona 3502, 1963)3
Chico/Jose He Say (Keetch 6001, 1964)
Leave Me Alone/Sweet Deceiver (MCA 40119, 73)
What else can I tell you?
She was from Brooklyn.
Her real name was Linda Gertz.
"Ambrose (Part 5)" was a modest hit in 1959.
There were no Parts 1 to 4.
"Just Keep Walking, Ambrose" by the Hal McKusick Quartet (Glory
292, 1959) was an answer record to the above,
which itself was the object of a cover version by Jimmy
Valentine (Cub 9024, 1959).
"Stay At Home Sue" was an answer-record to Dion's "Runaround Sue".
The Keetch label was owned by Bert Berns.
It was named after his pet cat.
He had two other pussies named Caesar and Dino.
Linda had long blonde hair.
She also wrote many songs,
one being "Ruby Red Dress (Leave Me Alone)" for Helen Reddy,
another being "Delta Dawn" for the same singer.
See you in New York at the S'pop party. Hey, we could pop
round to Linda Laurie's place for coffee!

"Some Other Guy" by Richie Barrett is contained on the CD "At The
Club" (Kent CDKEND 168) along with other great tracks like:
Tami Lynn "I'm Gonna Run Away from You"...fantastic Bert Berns job.
Doris Troy "Just One look"...talking of the Hollies.
Mel Torme "Comin' Home Baby"...the Cookies on back-ups.
High Keyes "Que Sera Sera"...Bob Crewe production.
In his spare time, Richie Barrett managed the Chantels and the
Three Degrees. But you knew that.

I think "Rare Oldies" would work - if it was promoted every hour
and stations pick the tracks carefully and do some hard music
research using hook tapes or over the phone interviews. I would
stick with popular oldies artists and choose songs that sound similar
to the big hits. Then take listners requests seriously - especally
for local and regional hits and research these song too.
The problem is stations are run so cheaply by corporations most
don't even have a music director anymore (if a "cluster" has one -
they are programming all 5-7 stations there). Some think its just
a waste of time and money to creativly program a station (like they
USED to before deregulation) to gain an advantage over the competitor
and that's a damned shame.

Mick's incredible knowledge puts mine to shame - yet,
big fish in a small pond that I am, I often field
music questions from current and past co-workers,
occasionally a few states away.
Last week, I got a call on voice mail - "Tom, this is
Denise Q. I'm taking a lot of grief from everybody
here because I'm sure it was Tony Orlando and Dawn
that did "Kung Fu Fighting." Resisting the urge to ask
if wasn't possibly by Jeanette McDonald and Nelson
Eddy, I called her back. Something in her confusion
struck a chord. A google search revealed that Tony O.
and company had done it on CBS TV in January, 1975,
when Denise was 10! I did help her save face,
somewhat!
