Greetings,
Goffin/King fan Mike C. on "GOIN' BACK: THE SONGS OF
GOFFIN & KING" (Sequel, NEMCD 376):
> Please Mick and friends, compile another. I'll take a
> compilation of "tongue in cheek" cover versions over the
> originals any day of the week.
Hello Mike C. and all Goffin/King fans out there. Sorry,
it's most unlikely that Sanctuary Records (a/k/a
Sequel/Castle) will release another volume of Goffin/King
songs. In order to make a profit, they have to utilise
material they own, such as the old UK Pye and Immediate
catalogues. A second volume would entail licensing tracks
>from other sources. This added expense would eat into any
possible profit. However, they are planning a compilation
entitled "Wallpaper Of Sound" featuring cover versions of
Phil Spector-produced originals. It's possible that this
will include further Goffin/King compositions.
However, have you seen the CD "ON BROADWAY: HIT SONGS AND
RARIRIES FROM THE BRILL BUILDING ERA" (Westside WESD 216)?.
This is a 50 track double CD of songs written by Carole
King & Gerry Goffin, Cynthia Weil & Barry Mann and Ellie
Greenwich & Jeff Barry. Goffin and/or King treasures by
the Palisades, Henry Alston and the James Boys are
included alongside more famous names.
Bob Thomas at BIM BAM RECORDS can supply these CDs.
Write for their catalogue: Chalfont House, Botley Road,
Horton Heath, Eastleigh, Hants SO50 7DN, UK.

Bim Bam specialise in oldies CDs. They just supplied me
with the new CD by THE PIXIES THREE, but more on that
another time.

The Beginning of the End was written by Barry DeVorzon
and Bodie Chandler. His version of the song can be found
on a Canadian CD Barry DeVorzon & the Tamerlanes: Hits an

Here's Bernadette's early discography:
I Knew You When/It's Almost Tomorrow (Gold Coast 61-22)
When You're Dancin' With Me/Crazy Yogi (Gold Coast 6134)
When You're Dancin' With Me/Crazy Yogi (Beach 1001)
Class Ring/Gimme Gimme (Beach 1002)
Set Me Free/Don't Count Your Dreams (Beach 1003)
My Babe/Small Talk (Beach 1004)
The Slosh/Silver Platter (Beach 5)
Plus an album on Gold Coast 61-8.
Her following releases used her full name (Bernadette
Castro). I know of three 45s:
Tell Him For Me/They Don't Understand (P.P.X. 719)
His Lips Get In The Way/Sports Car Sally (Colpix 747)
A Girl In Love Forgives/Get Rid Of Him (Colpix 759)
There is a world of difference between the early
"Bernadette" records and her Colpix 45s. Without the
group backing, her voice was actually quite thin, and a
lot of her early success in Miami can be linked to her
father's furniture company, and how much money in
advertising he poured into local radio stations. The
Colpix singles are tremendous, though, and deserved to
be huge hits.

Some songs are so strong that they work as a perfect
soundtrack to an event, even though they were written in
another time about something completely different. I
will never forget sitting in my record store in WAYNE,
New Jersey listening to WNEW FM and hearing DJ Scott
Muni playing "Jungleland" right after he heard the newz
of John Lennon's death, and I remember we all thought
that Bruce had died, because of the long silence after
the song finished$B?(B. Certain songs are like that... Here
