Subject: Dum Dum Ditty
Liked the recent discussion on "Dum Dum Ditty" ... On
the "official" recordings I have of this song, the "yeah
yeah yeah" part indeed sounds bad. However, on the "Girl
Group Sound" series from Sha-Boom, which seems only
quasi-legal, they have a recording of the song where the
"yeah yeah yeah" sounds absolutely perfect. Worth
checking out, just for that.
By the way, the song is awesome.
Regards,
Rob B.

Hmm....I played bass on that recording, loved working for
the Righteous Bros., espec. Bill Medley, and wasn't aware
of that or had forgotten about it, interesting.

Greetings all.
I like your ideas Jamie about the possible endings for
the movie.
One thing I would like to throw in is that I am sure it
will end before 1969 or 1972 only because I feel my
father would not like to cover any time frame after he
adopted his three sons.
Since this would be a movie (if it ever gets released)
about him, I do not think it would cover his family for
reasons of how he may appear to others. I do know that my
twin brother and I are waiting to see if this movie is
ever started and completed just to see what they show.

I happened to be watching an interview program (can't
remember which one, Conan or one of those) and saw a
fellow being interviewed that I didn't recognize except
for thinking to myself "that guy looks just like a young
Phil Spector". At the end of the interview I found out
low and behold, It was Paul Rubens (aka Pee Wee Herman).
With longer hair, a black leather jacket and black pants
the resembelence to PS was striking. Here's my first
vote for Paul Rubens to play Phil Spector.
Tom Cruise? Nope, just can't see it.

Ian:
Connie Stevens has recorded this Goffin and King song
"Don't You Want To Love Me". Yep! The same one as by The
Other Two.

Paul, with all due respect, I dont believe this for a
second. I think he REMASTERS, not remixes. It's virtually
impossible to create the classic Spector sound with
today's equipment, there are no tube devices in the chain
anymore.
I think Phil uses the mono masters and simply remasters
them each time, resulting in better sound on the analog
to digital master.

Paul Leka is a friend of mine. I once brought up the
Peppermint Rainbow album to him. He seemed surprised to
find that Green Tambourine was on it. He identified the
instrumental tracks as being identical, though mixed
differently. I don't believe the male singers are from
the Lemon Pipers, even though there's resemblance between
one of them and RG Nave, of the Pipers. I know the song
Rosemary is his wife's name. Will You Be Staying After
Sunday is one great production, thanks to Leka's genius.
