Subject: Re: Hal Blaine Interview
Just wanted to clear some lapses up that were in Hal
Blaine's online interview mentioned on this list. His
memory gets a little off. Ray Pohlman (not "Pullman")
died in 1991......I started playing elec. bass late in
1963 (28 years prior to that) when the bass player
didn't show up at Capitol Records. Ray Pohlman was
doing the bulk of the work but left recording in 1964
to become the musical conductor of the "Shindig" TV
show....I had been already playing bass and doing a
ton of dates by then but his leaving the studio
business for his new role did leave more work for
everyone.
I didn't "start playing bass when Ray Pullman died" as
Hal states. And I quickly became the No. 1 call
studio elec. bassist after I started playing
bass....no-one in LA played like I did then....(was
called the "Fender Bass" then) with my then-new pick
style and boogaloo ways of creating bass lines and
sounds.
Also, I wasn't a "Fender Guitarist" either as Hal
further states (and I don't believe he has much idea
of all the work I did either, the bulk of which he
wasn't on as I worked continually with Earl Palmer,
Johnny Guerin, Paul Humphrey, Jim Gordon and
others).....my guitar in the studios (that Phil
Spector just absolutely loved) was my old jazz box of
the Epiphone Emperor with the D'Armand pickup on it
(as heard on the Sam Cooke dates from Dec. 1957 on),
then I did use the Gibson 12-string guitar
acoustically and also put a D'Armand pickup on that,
and had a Guild 6-string elec. guitar refashioned into
an elec. 12-string guitar with special pickups and
bridges...and yes, one of my guitars was a Fender
Jazzmaster....but I also played a gut-string classical
guitar, a banjo, a ukulele, a mandolin, and a Dano
bass guitar on many dates.
Sometimes Hal gets it mixed up...we're all getting a
little older and furthermore, I never heard Hal swear
in the studios like he did in that interview either,
makes me very sad to see that....there's other
mistaken things but won't go into those.
Sincerely,
Carol Kaye

Subject: All Things Must Pass Unremixed
Hey Chris Carter here...Just reading what you guys are
saying about George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass"
re-issue. I have been hired by Capitol to work on the
marketing for this Jan. 23rd re-release. I just want to
point out that THIS ALBUM IS NOT RE-MIXED AT ALL...ONLY
RE-MASTERED....AND THE NEW VERSION OF MY SWEET LORD IS
OK...(HE ACTUALLY USES HIS SON ON THE TRACK).....KEN
SCOTT (ORIG. ENGINEER, ALSO WORKED ON THIS 2000
RE-ISSUE)
CHEERS,
CHRIS CARTER

One more stab at it. I have a version of a song with
this name - which seems to be a different song than
the Allman Brothers song - and it's by Smith, who I
always thought were called "A group called Smith". So
if there's a woman's voice in the version you seek,
that could be it.

Subject: Curt Boettcher et al....
Hi all,
Curt Boettcher also co-wrote a local #1 hit (New
Zealand) I don't know if this song had been recorded
by anyone else though. The song was called Spinning
Spinning Spinning and was recorded in 1968 by NZ
group The Simple Image, it became one of the biggest
selling singles on the year here, and they had 4 more
hits (and one previous hit) It is reasonably easy to
get a hold of on CD in NZ. The song was co-written
with RuthAnn Friedman who wrote Windy for the
Association, which is possibly how they came into
partnership as Curt produced Cherish & Along Comes
Mary for them.
It's A Man Down There by JB Crockett cracked the US
R&Btop ten (At #10) and charted at #67 on your top 100.
I am still after lists of anyone and everyone's ten
favorite albums for my book, thanks. Remember to
include your name and country. Thanks.
Dean. Owner of chart books for USA, UK, Canada,
Australia and NZ.

Subject: POPTONES
this is my first post here. usually i am content to read
all the cool discussions and stories, esp. from Carol
Kaye. How cool is it that she is willing to share all
kinds of inside dirt. Very. however, today I was shocked
out of my complacency by the sight of Joe Foster posting.
Damn! Slaughter Joe! Made some great singles for
Creation in case you didn't know. Now runs the
incredible Poptones label reissue campaign. hey Joe, the
new Boettcher stuff is swell and all but how about a
re-re-issue of the Ballroom, Millennium & Eternity's
Children CDs. Can't find them anywhere! and the 2nd
Sagittarius record! later

Subject: re: You Don't love me
The wonderful Joe Foster beat me to the punch, but that
version of "you Don't Love Me" by Kaleidoscope is
ROCKIN'. The band featured a very young David
Lindley, and was one of the most eclectic music
ensembles EVER.I heard an add for that record on WLS
out of Chicago, In 1968;was so bowled over by what I
heard,I tracked it down-took about 6 months-ah, what we
would do to find great music!!It is available from
Edsel (Demon)-the stock # is EDCD 532.That LP/CD changed
the way I thought about music. Sorry to go on
so! Hi,again, Joe.
