I once emailed somebody at M&M about those bonus tracks. He
told me who did the "dream" song, but I didn't retain the
information--he probably just named the credited artist, and
I didn't relate it to anybody I knew of, like Zekley.
The mystery "Our Day Will Come" is from the Roger Nichols
Small Circle of Friends LP on A&M, which is revered in
Japan. And the bonus track on the Melody Goes On volume 2 is
by Shiloh Morning.

On the Beach Boys page someone mentioned that Brian Wilson
collaborator Andy Paley has been producing "a fake Shangri-
La's record for some 1960's period film."
Not too informative, but it sounds intriguing. Anyone know
any more about this?

Since Jack Madani posted about the Flowerpot Men some time
ago, I have become a big fan. I just bought a new release
of the Flowerpot Men with has 6 unreleased bonus tracks.
This is very, very good music from the days of superb
craftsmanship, production and discipline, as evidenced by the
"big sound" and perfect harmonies (countless hours of
rehearsing which I'm not sure happens so much in the years
since that time). Of interest, in the song lineup Carter
and Shakespeare were credited with some of the songwriting.
Yet, in the liner notes John Carter's name is followed by
John Shakespeare's name bracketed in parenthesis. Are these
men one in the same?
I also bought the First Class CD to see if these boys did
any other music on par with the flawless "Beach Baby". This
song is a true gem, I listen to it often on my quality car
stereo with the volume high. % minutes of musical ecstasy
(please don't kick me off this list!!) At first listen
there seem to be several dated clinkers on this CD, but also
a few nice songs as well. I always thought that Ken Lewis
cowrote Beach Baby with Carter, but apparently not ? -- they
hadn't worked together in some time by that point (I think).

I don't know if this is old news or not, but a real good
article on the Zombies box set and on the upcoming release
of Odyssey and Oracle in both stereo and mono on the same
cd and also on the possible release of Colin Blunstone's
"Neil MacArthur" tracks appeared today in the Sunday
Philadelphia Inquirer. You can find the article at: http://

In a recent posting by (now we know why he's called) Doc
Rock regarding his book Liberty Records, he mentions
Patience & Prudence. Dying to get the discography in the
book, but in the meantime, does anyone have a comprehensive
P&P collection? I would love to discuss a dub trade or if
anyone could help fill out my P&P collection otherwise
please Email off-list. Thanks!
Doc also recommended a Girl Group Fanzine called Cha Cha
Charming. It must be named after the Ellie Gaye record. Doc
mentions it includes an interview with Kay McCool of his
favorite GG, the Pixies Three. Cool. I adore their "442
Glenwood Avenue." But tell us Doc, why your favorite?
I read the Frank Sinatra, Jr. kidnapping piece Marie posted
about and found it intriguing. How did Dean escape
unscathed? Bizarre...
Birdy-Num Num wrote he's been locked in the recording studio
for months. . .the album is finally finished...
Well, from what I've heard, it's good. It's very good.
