There are two cd's of Connie's that I'd like to axe about: a
one-disc best of, with something like 20 or more hits on it; also,
a two-disc set, from Reader's Digest (?).
Which of these is better to get? Or is neither of these the one to
have?

Hey, Kieron...Jimmy's assessment of the Ellie Greenwich song is
right on. However, the song was produced by Bob Crewe, not Bob
Gaudio (UA 50151).
For William Stos re: GG songs...Here's my two-cents worth:
1) Dusty - Rag Dolls
2) Give Him a Great Big Kiss - Shangri-Las
3) He's Got the Power - Exciters
4) Nobody Knows What's Goin' On - Chiffons
5) Goodnight Baby - Butterflys
6) My One and Only, Jimmy Boy - Girlfriends
7) etc...(any Ronettes/Crystals)

Thanks all for your suggestions for my show. I'll try to squeeze
as many of your suggestions in as possible! Also, seeing Claudia's
post, why don't you all check out my site which is just getting off
the ground. Sigh, John Rausch has been great about helping with
photos, but it's pretty bare at the moment. Once school gets going
I'll get back to it. Please notify me of any corrections (although
I know I have to really go through for spelling!)

Boy oh boy, NOW you've done it. Only ten? Not likely. But on short
notice, here's the best I can do in trying to narrow it down. First
list is of songs more commonly heard on the radio, followed by a
list of favorite gg songs that are more off the beaten path. By
the way, these are NOT in any special order.
Top 10 (hah!) more commonly heard GG songs:
1.(The Best Part Of) Breakin' Up--The Ronettes
2.Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)--Darlene Love
3.Baby I Love You--The Ronettes
4.Dancing In The Street--Martha Reeves & The Vandellas
5.Love Child--Diana Ross & The Supremes
6.One Fine Day--The Chiffons
7.Sweet Talking Guy--The Chiffons
8.The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)--Betty Everett
9.Walk On By--Dionne Warwick
10.Will You Love Me Tomorrow--The Shirelles
11.You, Baby--The Ronettes
12.Downtown--Petula Clark
Top 10 (hah!) less often heard or downright obscure GG songs:
1.Wonderful Summer--Robin Ward
2.Can't Stop Loving The Boy--The Carolines
3.Dream Lover--The Paris Sisters
4.Let Me Get Close To You--Skeeter Davis or Beverly Warren
5.Give Him A Great Big Kiss--The Shangri-Las
6.Lonely Without You--Julie Grant
7.Don't Sleep In The Subway--Petula Clark
8.I'm Into Something Good--Earl-Jean
9.I Couldn't Live Without Your Love--Petula Clark
10.Baby That's Me--The Cake
11.The One You Can't Have--The Honeys
12.What Am I Gonna Do With You--Lesley Gore
Doublecheck, these are NOT in any special order.

This may be a subject of limited interest, but I will pose this
question to my learned colleagues anyway....In the past few years,
many previously unheard-of Philles Records releases have surfaced..
.The Phil Spector Spectacular LP, the "Thanks For Giving Me the
Right Time" single, and, most recently, a stock copy of "Stumble
and Fall" and legitimate Philles colored-vinyl platters (not the
popular bootlegs). Why, after all these years, has this stuff all
of a sudden surfaced? Where did it come from?
Before purchasing the "Thanks..." single, I discussed this with a
well-known collector/dealer who said it was the result of a
Spector "insider" who had access to these items and had decided to
sell them to collectors...I assumed it was probably Phil's former
secretary, Joan Berg. However, everything I've seen of these "new"
issues shows that they were pressed on the west coast (thick line
under the logo), and Joan quit Spector and stayed in NYC after
Phil moved to CA, so it might not be her...How about Phil's promo
man, Danny Davis???? Or one of the Wrecking Crew???
Does anyone have an answer (or theory) as to how these
previously-unreleased Philles issues came to be released to the
public? It's hard to believe that these records just popped up on
their own after 25-30 years. Another Spector mystery....
