Hello
I'm the guilty party in the compilation of this much-rumoured Zombies box
(which will finally be out at the beginning of December). Yes, it is the
full monty on the Zoms, with over an hour of unissued material, but I
have included only mono versions of the singles, because many of those
have additional overdubs (and have not been available in some cases since
they were first issued), and most fans have the various stereo remixes on
previous CDs anyway. For more details, tracklisting etc, check out the
Ace Records website: www.acerecords.co.uk.
Hope you all like it!!
All the best
ALEC

forgot about this one until after i posted that last message - "say
goodbye to hollywood" by billy joel. near-clone of "be my baby," right
from the opening drums to the "whoo-oh-oh-oh-oh"s.
also, i think john lennon did a good job approximating spector's clunky
(and chunky) seventies sound on the tracks he (lennon) produced for the
_rock and roll_ album. it's hard to tell which tracks lennon did and
which spector did a few years earlier.

Just got in the Honeys compilation and there is a great song that
sounds Spectorish and is full of harmony. "Do Ya" has just blown me
away. Love Brian's ending falsetto!
Anyone else find it to be a gem?

I am very timidly testing the waters of MIDI (my PC has this thing by
Voyetra called an "orchestrator," it's not a proper sequencer but at
least I can record MIDI tracks, if not edit them), and one of the things
I've tried, a la Phil and Brian, is doubling up on instruments: two
basses, three keyboards (concert grand, out of tune, and harpsichord),
glockenspiel, church bells. It truly does lend a "fat" sound to the mix.
It's fun to try.
BTW, could someone who knows more about this stuff perhaps drop me a line
off-list about their impressions regarding a good yet cheap MIDI
sequencer program?
Finally, Jamie and I have had long discussions about this whole
faux-spector business; let me get home tonight and put together a big ol'
post about what we've come up with so far.
