But Keith did, as a followup to 98.6, right? That song is a Top 10 on the
Jimmy Bee Spectropop Platters that Mattered. What are the chords? Major
7th's?

Country Paul: Nancy Sinatra's "June, July and August" wasn't recorded by
Linda Laurie. You may be thinking of Linda's, "All Winter Long", which does
contain that phrase -- and which is included, along with her "Where Do You
Go", on the double CD collection Dream Girls. The wonderful Hey! Look What I
Found series from Canada contains "Ambrose" on volume 3.
Mikey: If you're looking for the early Nancy Sinatra material that Marginal
issued, one possibility in locating it might be an ad that I've seen either
in Goldmine or Discoveries from a guy who was selling a LOT of these
Marginal compilations. It appeared pretty frequently as a large-sized ad in
the front section of the magazine. Not sure if it still runs, though. Sorry,
can't remember any more about the vendor, except I think he had a New
Hampshire address.
All this talk of Nancy Sinatra led me to Varese's "You Go-Go Girl", on which
Nancy sings Lincoln Chase! 1969's "Zodiac Blues" fits right in with the
wacky stuff he wrote for Shirley Ellis earlier in the decade.
Rob Stride: I was gob-smacked when I found a version of the Crystals' "He
Hit Me And It Felt Like a Kiss" on Jody Miller's "Home Of The Brave" LP. I
thought it bizarre that anyone would actually cover it -- and then to
(over)sing it without a hint of tongue-in-cheek only added to its
strangeness. Anyway, an addition to your list of Spector covers if you don't
have it already.
Ken Silverwood: It's My Party also does a version of "Can I Get To Know You
Better" on their CD entitled, strangely enough, "Can I Get To Know You
Better"
Take care,
John
