I could not agree with you more Glenn about this
wonderful once in a lifetime concert. I caught this in
Atlanta and will catch it again in Melborne Fla.
Jeffrey Foskett and the Wondermints were astounding! I
have all the Foskett cds but I couldn't wait to get all
of the Wondermints cds and cd-ep. Bali had just come out
domestically in the US. Bali is an amazing slice of
power pop/ psyche pop. The other Wondermint cds are
Japanese imports. I finally found them reasonably
priced at
http://www.dustygroove.com
The Wondermints really do some great cuts on each of
their releases.
Nice to see a post about this concert on Spectropop.
Easy listening in the Big Easy

Collector's Choice catalog lists a new Honeys' CD
release.
The URL is
http://ccmusic.com/ccm_detail.cgi?item_code=CCM0163
Here's what the website has to say about the release:
Sisters Marilyn and Diane Rovell and Sandra Glantz nee
Ginger Blake were known as the Rovells when producer Gary
Usher introduced them to Brian Wilson; he agreed to
produce them, changed their name to the Honeys and in
fact ended up marrying Marilyn Rovell! Their recordings,
very highly regarded by surf and rock 'n' roll collectors,
have been out of print for about five years, ever since
Capitol deleted its "Collectors Series" album, but this
is far more comprehensive than that collection, boasting
copious notes and 26 tracks, 11 unreleased! A Collectors'
Choice Music exclusive, out October 10.

That's a good one. My favorite is "See the Light". Did
you know Blondie Chaplin is releasing another solo album
this year???

I drove from Salt Lake City to Denver to see the Pet
Sounds Symphony show. It was special and something I will
cherish forever.

Hi Folks: I forwarded the question put to Carol about
this record to a pal of mine who plays bass and also
happens to be one of the senior people at Warner Music.
This was his response:
Many times I find it hard to believe a particular bass
line was played with fingers, due to the speed of the
line. In the case of When I Die (the single), I find it
hard to believe the line was played with a pick (Carol's
style) due to the feel and fluidity of it. Regardless
it's always been one of my most favourite and
influential bass tracks of all time, and the one in
particular that put Carol on the map for me. I'd be
curious about her response.

Without having heard this overture (or "sweet" :-)), I
think it only shows how similar Brian's music is to that
of Gershwin, Porter, Berlin, et al. Even the early surf
stuff. What I think is a bit sad is how completely
UNinfluental these composers have been on music from the
1960s to today...outside of your BWs, your Bacharachs and
your Webbs, it's almost like the first 50 years of
popular music from the 20th century has been forgotten
since in pop music.
