Jack. I agree 100%, although I do not believe that is
really a Spector recording, I sure as hell was blown away
by the faux wall of sound. I would love to get ahold of
that myself!
I cranked up the surround sound and was amazed, certain
parts were reminiscent of several Spector classics but yet
ambiguous enough to not be sure. Also (I liked the way
Carol and Hal were "pointed out".
Carol, any comments?

>p.s. the bass player was a cutie. Looked just like Ms. Kaye.
Yes, wasn't Ms. Tera Hendrickson who played my part really
pretty? She captured that look too of how I dressed etc. -
she worked hard on the picking of the bass for
authenticity from what I hear (she's a bona-fide bassist)
-- thanks for your compliment.
I never worked for Phil after his last hit dates (River
Deep Mountain High etc.) probably around 1966 but then did
do a record date or 2 for him at A&M, his "come-back
sessions" which were scrapped (May of '69).
I've never seen any other engineer at Gold Star w/Phil
except Stan Ross and Larry Levine. Whoever else may have
worked for Phil could have been on vocal overdubs, not
saying that Jim Hilton wasn't there, just wasn't on the
tracking dates at all from what I can remember, it was
always Larry Levine up through the River Deep Mountain
High period.
On the BB movie, well there's a lot of technicalities that
aren't correct (Spector at Western with us all instead of
Gold Star, tracking not observed, the way we sat, Phil's
image... etc.) and I am concerned about the true nature
portrayed on film of Brian's persona as our bunch of
studio musicians know him...see the booklet with our
interviews in of Pet Sounds. I'm curious to see what
pt. II is like.

Does anybody know if there is actual footage of Phil and
The Wrecking Crew at work in the studio? Seems like
anytime I see anything having to do with Phil, it's the
same old tired clips. Also, is there any plans on
releasing The Wrecking Crew's outakes? Something like what
The Beach Boys did with Pet Sounds. It would be awesome to
listen to.

Here's a simple one: does anybody know if Love's vastly
underrated "Four Sail" album has ever been issued on CD?

I told my buddy that I keep looking at the Mystery Trend
CD whenever I go to the one store around here that has it.
But maybe I don't pick it up, despite the recommendations I
got here, because I was a bit disappointed with the
Sagittarius CD I did buy. There's some great tunes on it
but I think that I have a much higher standard for CD's
than I do for vinyl. In fact I know I do. Which is going
to be a problem if I want to find a lot of this stuff. For
some reason I almost always find CD reissues to be a bit
"decontextualized" and that changes the entire experience
of discovering a couple of great tunes. But that's another
story entirely. Anyway my buddy thought he had the CD. Or
at least the name rang a bell. He wouldn't normally have
too much stuff like this but he's a Louie Louie collector
and he thought Mystery Trend was the name of this band
whose CD he'd recently gotten for their version of Louie
Louie. But as it turned out, he was wrong. The band was
called "Neighb'rhood Children". An honest mistake. All
those names sound the same. Since it was on Sundazed, he
lent it to me anyway. Again my first reaction was "If I
found this on vinyl and I wondered if it was the kind of
thing I would like, then I'd love this". But there is some
great stuff here. And their version of "Can't buy me love"
is one of the best Beatle covers I've ever heard. I don't
think I'll buy myself a copy but I might tape it before I
return it. I know I could have just said "here's a band I
just heard and they're pretty good" but I don't tell
stories that way.

We have the piano/conductor score and the band is
practicing, what I need is a taped version of the music:
My name is Ellie, Jivette Boogie Beat, Why do lovers break
each others hearts, Not too young to get married, Look of
Love, Christmas-Baby please come home, Rock of Rages, Keep
it Confidential, What a Guy, We're gonna make it. The rest
I have as popular recordings from radio. hard to practice
with but can use. A complete copy of the soundtrack would
be nice.
