Subject: Brute Force & John Maus
Hello Art,
When I see the name Brute Force on a label, I'll usually buy.
I've found his records are never less than interesting and a
fair few work as enjoyable music! You might be interested in
a link I was given recently: http://www.demonstrationbootleg.com
I'm still trying to get my head around the concept of the site
but if you go to the mp3 section, Brute has (I assume) a recent
demo recording. John Maus (Walker) is another artist with
unreleased music on there. His are pretty good, in a very moody,
kinda late Walker Brothers style. Worth checking out.
Martin
PS I've just checked the link and the site is 'currently
unavailable'! I'll make enquiries.

Subject: Glenn Yarbrough "Sunshine Fields of Love"
This is a song that I've liked for many years by Glenn Yarbrough, I
have it on a Warner Bros. sampler LP called "Schlagers". I wonder if
anyone is familiar with it and whether it has ever appeared on a CD.
I know that the song appeared on his album "Let Me Choose Life" and I
would appreciate any feedback on that LP if anyone has heard it.
"On the grass-grown, never mown, Sunshine Fields of Love!" I like
everything about this track, especially the whistling-sort of like
Arthur Lee does on his tune "Listen to My Song". I notice nobody ever
whistles on songs anymore! I miss that.
Best,
Art Longmire

I've uploaded the Chiffons' "Stop Look & Listen" to musica for those
who've never heard it. I wish someone with the "My Secret Love"
album would do the same with those tracks. If I could find this
record somewhere I would do it.

Oh, yes, Mike Edwards! hearing Sweet Talkin' Guy on the transistor
or in the car in summer of Sixty-six was truly a joy. On that
subject from what I know The Capreez made Top 40 in parts of the
Midwest with a tune called "Roseanna", bubbled under according to
Whitburn, they released several singles none of which I remember
hearing, but from what I've heard about them they had a groovy
sound.
A very mournful RIP to Linda Schroeder of The Teardrops. I agree
wholeheartedly that they too deserved more recognition. John
Clemente, any news about Paul Trefzger who wrote Tears Come
Tumbling etc.? Any information on him e.g. other tunes he penned
in the 6Ts?
Sorry The Liquid Room is leaving. I've always enjoyed looking for
familiar recordings on David's playlist. I think I have a version
of "Up Up & Away" by Marilyn Maye on her STEP TO THE REAR album,
but I'm sure she doesn't hold a candle to Jack Jones, Andy Williams,
The Lettermen, Ferrante & Teicher......:--(( Bobster

Hi,
SYLVIA PETERSON was the lead voice on "Nobody Knows Whats Going On
In My Mind But Me". During the chime-off of voices before the
verses, it is Sylvia, Judy, Pat, and Barbara!!!!!!!
Gee, I am so happy about all of this great Chiffons buzz I started!!

Subject: Thrills; Jim Carroll; Skip Battin; David Hemmings; DJ comp albums
Today's New York Times Arts section had a quick mention of a
Scottish band called The Thrills, which they credited as being this
year's incarnation of California music. Has anyone heard or heard
of them? Are they as good as the writer in the Times implied?

The releases were on Atco; it was a small hit single as well as an
album. He had already been famous for writing "The Basketball Diaries,"
about growing up young, white and strung out in the ghetto, and
overcoming his addition. I had the pleasure of interviewing him at the
time; he said all the names and events in the song were
autobiographical. I also saw him live (well, kinda - they finally went
on at 2:20am and I slept through a couple of songs despite the volume).
As on his recordings, he didn't sing, but rather spoke all his lyrics.
Bryan:
> Skip Battin has passed away:
> http://users.skynet.be/byrdsflyght/main.htm
This is indeed sad news; I appreciated his music back to Skip & Flip.
Sorta hard to believe he was 69 years old! I also find this note on the
above site sadly fascinating:
"Half of the ex-Byrds appearing on records are now gone. Now playing in
heaven is a new Byrds lineup:
"Gene Clark (vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica); Gram Parsons (vocals,
guitar, keyboards); Clarence White (guitar, vocals); Skip Battin (bass,
vocals); Michael Clarke and Kevin Kelley (drums)."
The good news is that I saw Roger McGuinn in a live solo show in
Hoboken last spring, and he was alive, well and excellent.

I remember the Hemmings LP going by, but missed the Byrds' involvement.
I'm curious, though: who is/was Philamore Lincoln? Could you explain
the reference, please? I loved "You're The One" from The North Wind
Blew South (Epic BN 26497, 1970). Is Lincoln still around? Was there
Byrds involvement beyond your reference? (And Steve, thanks for the
John Kay info; I had a hard time imagining the Steppenwolf Kay as a
teacher!)
Jon (re: David Hemmings LP):

And if so, could I request one of the Gene Clark songs, please?
Peter Lerner:

...which I never knew until he passed. (11 years old and playing on a
true classic!) Special mention should go too to Jesse Belvin himself;
I realize his life ended just at the start of the S'pop timeframe, but
he was a profound influence on pop and soul music, both under his own
name and behind the scenes as a producer, group member, sideman and
composer.

I know of only two on Scepter; Austin Powell mentions the other, "The
Fifth Beatle." He had another compilation on Chess, but I can't say if
it was before or after the Scepter albums. As Austin noted, many
labels had albums promoting radio stations, or occasionally individual
jocks. Notable purveyors were Jubilee (an early one with Clay Cole),
Post, Lost Nite (especially Jerry Blavat), Mr. Maestro, Roulette
(subsidiary End originally issued the two Alan Freed albums Paul
Urbahns mentions) and later Collectibles, with extensive collections
from WCBS-FM in New York and a station in Philly.

You're welcome, Art. Incidentally, Mr. Force (Stephen Friedland) has
his own website these days: http://www.brutesforce.com. It's worth
checking, IMO. His Columbia album, "Confections of Live," was and is
a favorite of mine for several songs, including the lovely "No
Olympian Height."

Subject: Re: UK London label prefixes
This is an interesting subject. But there do appear to be certain
anomolies concerning overseas exports and product issued on the
London label (not the US London label I hasten to say). Products
issued in Italy for example just had the HL prefix. In France and
NL for example, the suffix after the HL was also used. Then there
are the EXPORT London records which were pressed in the UK and sent
overseas (to which territories?) which also had no suffix, ie., just
HL. I do know that a different numbering system was used in
Australia, and am trying to find some early examples in my own
collection for discussion...
Cheers!

Subject: Re: The Ronettes In Stereo
I have a reissue here in UK which has just a pair of the Spector
wrap-around shades on the cover of the Christmas Album. I was
delighted to say that this purchase (for about $1.50 at a charity
shop) was true stereo. Incidentally, the Ike & Tina Turner LP
"River Deep, Mountain High" Lp issued in the UK on London(SHU 8296)
also seems like (mostly) true stereo... Now about that Ronettes LP.
The closest I can come to verifying true stereo is that a copy sold
earlier this year on Ebay for about $150.00 and was shon as stereo.
I asked the (apparently knowledgeable about such things vendor) who
claimed that it *was* true stereo. Goldstar studios certainly had
the facilities for recording and mixing down stereo since 1959,
although it is well-known that PS did not like stereo. Again, on
that Christmas alum - a UK Warner reissue of the LP (on blue vinyl)
has etched in the run-out wax the words "Back To Mono"). That's
enough for now...

Wow, listening to the original on musica was very strange. When I
first bought Greatest Recordings "Stop Look and Listen" was one of my
favourites. The lead voice sounded a bit strange, but I figured it
was just Sylvia doing a breathy take. On the original Judy's vocals
seemed doubled, or maybe it's just a vibrato. It's going to take a
little while to get used to this original version now. But I am
curious as to who did the version on the CD.

I've heard a few tracks, and was quite impressed, but not *hugely* so.
I'll probably buy the album though. The obvious reference points are
early-70s Beach Boys (they have a song called Big Sur), early Bee Gees,
CSNY, The Association. Good but not great harmony pop.
What's more interesting is that they actually seem to be very popular,
at least in the UK, and getting a lot of press, publicity and airplay -
they might actually become very successful, making music that many
people on Spectropop will appreciate.

The Dantes had three singles between 1966-67. The
second one was the one you (Dan Hughes) mentioned, and
the flipside was "Can I Get A Witness", also based on
the Stones version of the Marvin Gaye song. Their
first single was a 2-sided original, "Can't Get Enough
Of Your Love", with an instrumental called "80-96" on
the flip. The third single was another Stones cover,
this time "Connection" from the "Between The Buttons"
LP, flipped with a New Vaudeville Band-type novelty
called "Satisfied."
Only the second single was on Cameo. The first was on
Jamie and the third one was on Main Line.

Don't throw out your Pet Sounds just yet Paul - they're a lot
more like the dreaded Starsailor than "California Music". That is,
pleasant yet under-nourished indie-pop, in my humble opinion anyway!

Equally mind-boggling and a fact I don't think we've mentioned
here yet is that White had a song recorded by the Banana Splits.
It's a funky Sly Stone style number called "Doin' The Banana Split"
and appeared on one of their 45s given away with breakfast cereal.

Many thanks Austin... now, of course, I feel as intelligent as
two short planks, all this time and it never clicked that specific
letters matched specific US lables. Using your info, one would thus
suspect that as Cadence is 'A', then this practice started in 1957,
for London's major import labels, and that maybe they used the plain
'HL' prefix for 'one-offs' before the use of 'U'. However this theory
is confused by the release in 1960 of 'Shop Around' by The Miracles -
HL 9276 and in 1963 of 'Never' by The Earls - HL 9702 and 'Sandra' by
The Volumes, HL 9733. I'll guess that the useage of the hyphen between
the 'HL' and the following letter may just depend on who did the label
copy as naturally both versions refer to the same US lable, and even
the same artist eg Duane Eddy, 'HL 8764' Cannonball, 'HLW 9257' Pepe,
and 'HL-W 9477' The Avenger. (Of course, it could also be a plot to
confuse us poor 45 buyers).
Now I am going to have to track down a list of all the US labels
the suffix stands for ... more work :-)
Again, your info much appreciated.
Cheers

I've got a late 60s album by the Serendipity Singers called
"Love is a State of Mind" and I was trying to research it on

and I was surprised to read that the Angel's singer Peggy
Santiglia is on the album.
Well, I had no success in turning up anything on the LP but
I've gotta go back and see if she sang lead on any of the tracks
or if her picture was included in the group portrait on the back
cover. This is a very good album by the way, with a bit of a Spanky
and Our Gang influence (including a cover of "It Ain't Necessarily
Byrd Avenue"). Doesn't sound anything at all like their better-known
material from earlier in the 60s.

Art,
Yes, Peggy did have a spell with the Serendipities in the late
60s. I have a pic in an old copy of "16" which clearly shows
her in the midst of the group. If anyone's interested I can dig
it out and post it to the photos section.
