To all Spector Freaks who are looking for the great Fitzpatrick/
Fogerty book...Altho it was printed in 1991 and is no longer BEING
printed, there are new copies out there. I just got a copy from
www.books.com - Took 5 weeks, but they found a copy, still sealed.
Keep looking if you need it!!!
As for Jack Fitzpatrick, does anyone know an address (snail or
email) where I can reach him? We had many a Spector conversation
via landline back in the 1970's, but I haven't talked to him since
I moved to Ohio from Georgia. Thanks much...Phil Lives!!

Dave (or anyone),
I've never been able to get my hands on the gospel record that Dee
Dee Sharpe made after her pop career. Has anyone heard it or know
how to obtain it?

I have two mysteries (or perhaps they were dreams) that maybe
someone can clear up.
1. The firs time I heard the Box Tops "The Letter," I thought for
sure that it was a remake, that I had heard it before. Does anyone
know if that song was done previously by someone else (forget the
Arbors, that was later), if perhaps an earlier version by the Box
Tops existed, or maybe if it was released, then sat idle for a
while before becoming big?
2. With regard to "Chapel of Love," might there be two mixes of
this by the Dixie Cups? I know about the version by the Crystals
and the Ronettes. What I am talking about is a version by the DC
that has a different harmony mix at the beginning.
Or did I dream these two things?
Thanks.
Doc

But it is still illegal to import them or sell them in the United
States.

Yes, Greg, that was Kathy Young and the song was a hit then...it's
still available on stock 45 and reissue 45 and also on a cd
compilation...check ou the oldies sites like Thursdays, Spiderweb
Records, Flipside and Rockaway...it's a beautiful song about a
girl who expresses her love to a guy and it's very romantic...

Hi Scott,
I too am very interested in Usher's collective works. I can't
comment on PolyGram's representation of those Usher works you
listed, but I know many of them are included in Annette's albums
and soundtrack albums to Muscle Beach Party and Beach Party,
which were issued through Buena Vista. As you will know, often
film companies end up with publishing rights when they commission
writers to compose for film, so it very well may be that these are
controlled by virtue of such agreements, although it would seem
to me that Disney would have control of these based on that theory.
Anyway, there's a hyperlink on Geocities' Spectropop page to Ron
Weekes' Gary Usher Surf & Hot Rod discography, which I (barely)
helped Ron put together about a year ago. You'll find some
answers there, and I hope others will offer further info.
btw, in your list, there are several titles co-written by Brian
WIlson and (apparently) Glen Campbell. PolyGram control mainly
Usher's shares, I am guessing. Right?
The Hondells rule!!!!!

I've been reading the info. on the court case with interest.
Thanks Robbie. Keep it coming.
What I wonder is, why has it taken until now for this to go to
court, surely the case could have been made earlier???
