Re: Jackie De Shannon
Stewart,
I don't know much about Jackie De Shannon's total output
in the 70's, but I do have one album called "New
Arrangement" which featured Brian Wilson (she namechecked
him on the same song he sang harmonies on, Boat To Sail,
which was later covered by the Carpenters). Kenny Rankin
also made a guest appearance, and the original version of
Bette Davis Eyes was on it.
It's quite essential listening to anyone interested in
the 70's singer/songwriter genre, and it's consistently
good throughout. The vinyl might be hard to find, but
they've reissued it on CD in Japan.

Jackie told me that she had little to know control over
err 60s albums. Liberty/Imperial would just take demos
and odd recordings and create an LP. Her LP, "Breaking It
Up On the Beatles' Tour" was released without her
knowledge until she saw it in a store!

Hi everyone,
In case you didn't know already Poptones Records in the
UK, on their 'From the Vaults' subsidiary label are
releasing the following -
Curt Boettcher - Misty Mirage
Joey Stec - same
Sandy Salisbury - Sandy
Millennium - Again
Release date is mid-late October. I think they're also
releasing two ltd edition (1,000 copies) 7" vinyl records
featuring the above artists with, I think, Curt on one
side and Joey on the other and Sandy and the Millennium
sharing the two sides of the other disc.
Poptones Records is the new company set up by the people
who used to run Creation Records and released some great
CDs on their Rev-Ola spin-off label by the likes of -
The Ballroom
Millennium
Eternity's Children
Sunshine Company
Third Rail
Steve.

To Carol Kaye:
I read with interest the list of people you have worked
with in the studios. Among the producers you have listed
a "Kim Farley" I wondered if you meant Kim Fowley.
Here's a real interesting person. He produced the
Murmaids' 1963 hit "Popsicles and Icicles"-I mean a real
fine and innocent song. Then he got involved in the whole
"freak out" scene. Then in the mid 70s he produced the
Runaways, the original riot girls. Then he produced
Helen Reddy's 1977 album "Ear Candy" which featured her
updated version of "You're My World". I have the album
in my collection and I thought it was great. It is
amazing that he produced so many people of different
muisical persuasions.
Thanks
Michael G, Marvin

Hello,
I'm currently doing research on the production techniques
of Phil Spector. My main source for now is the Hal
Blaine's memoir. I'd like to know if anyone has some
other source to direct me to or if anyone has some books
about Spector and could send me some excerpts that are
the keys to the way he created the wall of sound.
Thank you very much
Vincent
