A big thank you to DJ Jimmie B for recommending the RCA
LP by The Match. I was thrilled to find that in addition
to the cover of "Through Spray Colored Glasses," it
contains versions of Roger Nichols' "Don't Take Your Time"
and Nichols & Paul Williams' "Morning I'll Be Moving On."
(Which is the closing song of my radio show every week!)
Whitebread vocal heaven!!!!

     Hi, it's me again, I've got another question.  I just
love Reparata and the Delrons and am wondering what
happened to them, especially Reparata.  I just love her
voice!  Does anybody know of any collections of Reparata
and the Delrons that are available to buy and from where? 
I only have the Whenever a Teenager Cries Collectables CD.
I heard about a collection called Golden Classics.  I
think it's a cassette, does anybody know the track list on
it?  If anyone could direct me to any other CDs or
cassettes, it would be much appreciated.
            Tom

Hi everybody,

I'm rejoining the Spectropop list after having been a
subscriber about three years ago.  I've just spent the
weekend at the WFMU record fair in NYC, buying lots of
late 60's melodic psych-pop, and I found some complete
GEMS!!!  Can anyone give me any more info than I've got on
the following SMASHING soft pop groups (these are all 45s)?
I'd be thrilled with any nuggets of knowlege:

Click - "Dancing Babies/The Fat Lady in the Wicker Chair"
and "Girl with a Mind/Rainmaker" on Laurie

Saint Jacques - "She Was Beautiful/Brandy" on GRT

Mid-Day Rain "Welcome to the Rain/Sunday Mourning" on RCA
(this is one of the best records I've found in all my days
of searching...)

Sweet Charity "Take a Look at Love/I've Got to Laugh" on
Bell

These are all beautiful, gentle records that I would die
to find more of. If anybody can point me in the direction
of more, I'd do whatever I could to thank them.  I've got
tons and tons of obscure gentle pop, folk-pop and
pop-psych from this period, so if anybody cares to swap
tapes, let me know.

***Find of the Fair: a single on Liberty by a group called
the Murmaids, doing a cover of the Michael Lloyd/Smoke
song "SongThrough Perception!"  A complete smash!

Over to you,
Keith

Hi everyone!

Thanks for the Paper Dolls info Ian!  Now here's another
question regarding the Blue Orchids.  Some one recently
asked me about their recordings produced by Shel Talmy. 
Can anyone tell me about Shel and his relation to the
Orchids?  This guy is putting together a Shel Talmy web
site believe it or not!  I'm recommending him to
Spectropop as a new member, but until then, help would be
appreciated.  Also, was "Mister Scrooge" ever released on
a single?

Regarding the unofficial unissued Spector track (Crystals'
"Chico's Girl") that was mentioned a few posts back. 
Having listened to it a few more times, I've revised my
opinion and would say that it is after all Barbara Alston
on lead vocal, and not Pat Wright as I'd first thought.

Hi there

A few months ago, I saw an ad for a double CD on Westside
called "On Broadway" comprsing Brill Building material.
Eventhough it was UK issue , I still haven't seen a copy
of it. Did it actually come out? Also does it contain any
rare or unreleased stuff? I would aprreciate any
information on this, even a track listing if possible.

Thanks for your help

All the best
Robin

I was listening to Lesley Gore's "Just Let Me Cry" for
the gazillionth time and only realized now that it is
based on Russian composer Rimsky-Korsakov's Song of India.

Just Let Me Cry is written by Barkan/Raleigh. They also
wrote She's a Fool, That's the Way Boys Are and others
for Lesley. 

Nothing earthshaking here, but I did find it interesting.
Strange that I never realized it before.
