I thought I'd pass along some information in case anyone is
interested. The on-line music store Music For A Song has
among its catalog of cutouts: The Complete Buddah Chart
Singles Vols 1 & 2 The Complete Kama Sutra Singles Vols 1 &
2 for a pretty reasonable $3.77 each. Each volume has some
obscurities (Five Stairsteps & Cubie, the Vacels) among the
more familiar (Lovin' Spoonful, Ohio Express). I haven't
played 'em yet but it sounds like a good deal. They also
have the Brill Building compilation for $12.77 but it's on
cassette. I ordered that too, but haven't got it yet. Wish
it was the CD.

The question had arisen before on the list as to what music
Petula Clark had recorded in LA. I was perusing the booklet
(is that what our UK friends call an "inlay"?) for Petula
Clark's "The Pye Years Volume 1" (RPM issue). The disc
holds two complete albums, the second of which is called
"These Are My Songs." If I remember it right, the booklet
says that all of this album was recorded in LA, produced by
Sonny Burke. So it'll probably have that Strangers In The
Night, Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime sort of vibe.
Say, I was watching the opening portion of Austin Powers
(didn't finish it, though, because I hadda put my three-
year-old boy to bed), and I just howled out loud in
appreciation over the Swinging London sequence. When that
policeman breaks into the frug, I just about wet myself.
egad, this is my favorite music mailing list.

<< 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).

Hi Dave,
Actually, the "Shakepeare" you refer to, if I'm not
mistaken, is John Carter's wife Gillian Shakespeare. She
co-wrote several Flower Pot Men songs, as well as several
First Class songs such as "Beach Baby" and "Too Many Golden
Oldies". I would highly recommend that you purchase "Love
Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)", the compilation of Tony
Burrows sung material available on Varese Sarabande records.
You'd love it!

Take Care,
David

As it happens, I have a pretty good collection of P&P. Dub trade fine.

That is correct.

Well,it's a long story, which I told in the pages of
Discoveries magazine a few years ago. For a copy of my VERY
long Pixies three article chock full of original interview
material, email me a DocroXXX@XXXXXXom Perhaps the title
says it all-- "Schoolgirl Exuberance!

Someone on the Beach Boys mailing list has solved the
mystery about who is responsible for "Awake In A Dream".
It's a group (or perhaps a one-off project ??) called The
Giant Jellybean Copout.
