Subject: Re: The song Orange Colored Sky
"Orange Colored Sky" was a silly song hit written by
Milton DeLugg (a popular accordionist on TV) and Willie
Stein back around 1949 or 1950. Betty Hutton, who was the
'40s-'50s Cyndi Lauper, recorded it back then, as did
others including Nat "King" Cole backed by Stan Kenton
and his Orchestra. Zappa likely knew it then, as a child.
The lyrics "I was walking along minding my business when
love came and hit me in the eye -- Flash! Bam! Alakazam!",
were perfect for a novelty artist like Hutton; having
Ward record the song all those years later cleverly
associated those lyrics with the campy words on the
screen during fights on the Batman series.

Thanks for clearing that one up at last, Tony. But the
puzzling question still remains: If Betty's voice was
that good (and on the evidence of "What Is Love" I'll
stick my neck out and suggest it was even better than
Mary's) then why didn't they use her more often??

Yes, the only place I know where you can find that
version is on Taragon's "Very Best of Red Bird/Blue Cat
Records". This is a collection which everyone with any
interest in those labels should try and obtain. Taragon
have a reputation for high quality mastering, and the
(true) stereo on this set is absolutely stunning - apart
>from Mary's extra spoken bit, you will hear lots of
little instrumental detail that you weren't aware of
before. I think it's still available, but check
Taragon's site at

Subject: Tandyn Almer
Great to see so much discussion about Tandyn Almer in the
group lately, and to actually hear Degeneration Gap after
years of searching; thanks for that Al. I actually quite
like it!!
Tandyn also wrote Little Girl Lost & Found, a minor hit
for for the Garden Club (as has been mentioned round here
before), and could conceivably been a member of said
combo too. (It was covered fabulously in the UK by Peter
& The Wolves.) I also ought to mention a 45 by a band
called Pleasure entitled Poor Old Organ Grinder, which
has an Almer writing credit. It's another great
multi-sectioned big production opus, telling the tale of
a highwire act which goes terribly wrong....
I believe he also recorded an LP of demos for Almo/Irving
Publishing (like the Paul Williams-Roger Nichols LP);
there's also a songbook called "Along Comes Tandyn",
which contains "12 new songs arranged for pop groups",
such as "I Get High", "Sunset Strip Soliloquy", "Alice
Designs" & others. I've no idea where these numbers ended
up, or indeed where Almer ended up. Does anyone else?
All the best for 2002,
Harvey Williams.

Subject: Foskett, Almer et al
Picking up on a couple of recent threads, I'd like to
thoroughly recommend any and all of Jeff Foskett's solo
work. There are several CD's, all of which feature
wonderful melodies and full harmonies. Also, his
sidekick on New Surf records Jeff Larson, has two
excellent albums available too, with "Watercolour Sky"
being a great place to start. Apparantly the pair have
plans for a joint venture later this year which should be
quite something. Seriously woth investigating by anyone
on this list!
Regarding Tandyn Almer and his writing credits, I seem
to recall that there was a school of thought that had
Curt Boettcher as the original writer of "Along Comes
Mary" before TA popped up. What stage the song was at
that point is of course anyone's guess. I don't think
anyone ever totally sorted that one out, so I guess that
we must trust what shows as the current credits. Well
worth reading Dawn Eden's great original Goldmine piece
about the whole Curt/Gary Usher time - so much great
music emerged at that time. One credit Tandyn Almer
does appear to have (Co- with 'Walsh') is on the single
"Little Girl Lost And Found" by The Garden Club (A&M 848).
He co-arranged it too with the producer Larry Marks.
It's a totally lovely slab of sunshine music, which Joe
Foster reckons has Ruth Ann Friedman singing on with
others. Its another thoroughly recommended disc worth
seriously considering selling granny for!
A happy, safe and healthy 2002 to all

Bruce Kerr writes:

There's a 1969 album by Dennis Olivieri called COME TO
THE PARTY. Tandyn Almer produced the album and is
credited with playing rocksichord, Thomas Celebrity
Organ and autoharp.
Here's an excerpt from the John Kay book MAGIC CARPET
RIDE:
"A group (called The Men) rehearsed at the Troubadour
during the day, ten guys, an all male folk revue. Doug
Weston was involved in putting them together and they
performed at the Music Box Theater in Hollywood for
awhile. One of the guys in the group was an artist named
Tony Mafia, part Sicilian and part Cherokee. Following
a difference of opinion with the others, Tony was thrown
out of the group. The remaining members went on to
become the pop group The Association, whose first hit,
Along Comes Mary, was written by Tandyn Alma who lived
upstairs at the Troubadour in a little room next to Doug
Weston's office. He was reclusive but friendly, a truly
talented piano player and songwriter."

My only memory of Orange Colored Sky is Natalie Cole's
version on the "Unforgettable" album where she
resurrected her Dad. So its probably written by a pop
writer of the 50's if its the same song. However if its
"Orange Sky", it could have been written by Arthur Lee of
Love in '67 or so...Either that or I don't know. Hope
that didn't hurt...JB

Hello everyone!
I've just come back from a frosty and lovely new year's
in North Yorkshire...my new kitten Minna is sleeping by
my feet. Bless.

I can't tell you about Jane Canada (awesome name though...)
but I have to say, this is the first time I've ever heard
anyone talk about Magic Lamp records!
All I know about them is that it was the Carpenters'
first label, probably based somewhere near their hometown
of Downey CA, for which they recorded the amazing "I'll
be yours", the flip side of "looking for love". As far
as I know a lot of the label's masters were lost in a
fire, and Richard Carpenter had to transfer the song from
his copy for the box set that came out a few years back.
There are only 500 copies of the single around, so it's
the best way to hear it.
For a nice take on soft rock, I can heartily recommend
their first album as well - "Ticket to Ride" (although an
earlier version was called "Offering" and had a different
cover...if memory serves me correct!)
And strangely enough, Magic Lamp was what I called my
little indie band a few years back (and we covered that
Carpenters song too, as well as the Shirelles' "baby it's
you"!)
Ah, memories.
Happy new year everyone - and wish I could have made it
to Martin's party...

Happy New Year, Peter. I have one 45 on the label:
ML-705 Mickey Jones & The Triumphs: "I Can Live Without
You"/"I Thought I Could" Prod. Joe Osborn; Arr. Larry
Knechtel (!)
It has a Beach Boys-ish feeling, sounds like c. 1964 or
so. "A" side is very good, lots of creative transitions;
partial falsetto lead vocal. I remember nothing about
the "B" side. Label address is PO Box 3244, N. Hollywood,
CA (no zipcode listed). Does anyone know anything about
this artist? And what was the Johnny Burnette production
on Magic Lamp?
David Feldman:
> "Fountains of Wayne: Utopia Parkway
Superb album is virtually every aspect. By the way, Ivy,
a group I recommended earlier for some neo-girl-group
material, is one-third Adam Schellinger from Fountains
of Wayne. Top track from their latest CD "Long
Distance": "Edge of the Ocean." Repeating my earlier
recommendation: excellent! Grab it if you haven't. (Not
their paid promo man, just a fan.)
Andrew Hickey:
> "Wondermints - Wonderful World Of".
Heard them of course behind Brian live. Any suggestions
as to the best album of original material to start with?
John Rausch: thanks for the Julee Cruise comments.
Actually, my surprise is that she isn't mentioned here
more, being that her sound is so Spectropoppish (for the
uninitiated, think Paris Sisters accompanied by Duane
Eddy). I know a lot of it came from David Lynch and
Angelo Badalamente; I remember reading an interview with
her once a long time ago that she was only using a
miniscule portion of her range singing in her "soft"
voice, and that she was more of a belter by nature. The
album that does it for me: "Floating Into The Night."
Most of her other work is, I believe, on David Lynch
soundtracks.
By the way, during the second year of "Twin Peaks,"
three of the younger characters (1 male, 02 female) sang
a gorgeous doo-wop ballad, "Just You, Just Me," which
could have been an Innocents track. I don't think it
ever showed up on any soundtrack albums - or am I wrong?
(I seem to remember hearing that Lynch wrote the song.)
Justin Mcdevitt: Shirley Matthews' BIG TOWN BOY was a
Bob Crewe Productions. I think it may have originally
been on Amy.
May 2002 be happy, healthy, and musical for all!

They've only released 3 albums so far (though there
are numerous cassettes of demos and things floating
about). Wonderful World Of is almost all covers, but I
actually think it's their best album (the cover of
Knowing Me, Knowing You alone makes it worth getting -
an incredible version that made me love a song I'd
hated previously).
Of the two albums of original material, I actually
prefer their eponymous album, but most fans seem to
prefer the later 'Bali'. 'Wondermints' is slightly
more pop than Bali, which is more soft-rock and
slightly lusher in sound. But there's very little to
choose between them and they're all excellent albums...

Yes Ian, and Happy New Year, that was the Taragon CD with
Mary's emotional plea!!! Too bad there was no Shangs
studio chatter (oh, it would have to be bleeped out I'm
sure--sorry, I always have to bring that up!!).
Shadow is quoted in print as saying that BETTY was a
better singer, but MARY had a more appealing sound. We
all also know that Betty was not a constant member of the
group during late 1964-mid 65. Have you ever heard the
Shangri-Las version of "I'm Blue"?? MaryAnn and Margie
both alternate lines throughout most of the song, and their
voices were also very strong albeit rough and deep.
Overall, EVERYTHING about the Shangri-Las was great--
their sound, their look, their style- -EVERYTHING!!!!!!

Sandy Salisbury - I agree about Sandy, not heard Falling...
David Gates, Fab selection although (for a boot?) maybe a

Paris Sisters, Quite nice mix of tracks "Everything

2/ Margie Day's Tell Me In The Sunlight. Thumping but
slightly under mixed Erect a Spector. (Come on Peter

3/ Tiffany Michel Dixie. A record I've been wanting to

Hi Justin - Welcome to the group.
I doubt music of this nature is going to hit Presslay or
MusicNet or any of the commercial download mp3 sites in
the near future. You really gotta wonder about the
commercial feasibility of these corporate ventures.
Naturally the big conglomerates seek high return on their
internet start up companies, so chances are their
available "stock" of files are going to read like a CHR
chart. But the mega-artists are already in every CD store
in the world. What about the out-of-print stuff? Hopefully
specialist-oriented *licensed* download sites will become
a reality so we can get Big Town Boy for one or two Euros
if we want. Or, when someone reissues the Shangri-Las for
the umpteenth time - but in a pristine underdubbed mix on
two of the tracks, I'd like to buy just those. I have the
Shangs on LP, some 45s, on the Red Bird box set (great
liners!), and on a stand alone CD. I just can't justify
buying the Shangri-Las recordings all over again for the
fifth or so time though, especially when so many cool NEW
comps are taxing my credit card limit already.
Theoretically, the licensed download company could provide
a wonderful service for collectors, but I don't see that
happening anytime soon. Pressplay and the others will
inevitably serve as a promotional tool for CDs and
ultimately be judged inferior to the unauthorized free
services in several key areas. Pity is, it doesn't have to
be that way. Making dowloadable pay-per files doesn't
require initial pressing and distribution costs. No risk
of dead stock either. Making reissue comps requires large
initial investment - mostly in putting the licensing
together. Which brings the subject back to Big Town Boy.
Since you're jonzin' for Big Town Boy, you obviously
appreciate the real deal. It's on Where the Girls Are Vol.
4, which is SO good I really recommend you get the disc.
Over and above the grooves, the liners and photos are
brilliant. In fact, the whole WTGA series is essential.
Yes, they are UK imports but they can be had for about $16
each at CD Now etc.
I think as fans of the music we owe it *to ourselves* to
support the reissue business because we sure the heck
can't count on corporate bean counters to give a damn
unless the numbers justify it.

Hello,
Do yourself a favour and buy the friggin' CD. Ace Records
are a British company but their CDs are readily available
in the USA. Try Amazon or one of the dealers that
advertise in Goldmine or Discoveries magazine. In fact, I
frequently see Ace CDs listed by US mail order companies
for sale at prices lower than they are sold for in the UK.
You could buy the whole CD for the cost of just one of
the twenty-odd great 45s it contains.
Fair enough, if you can't find an obscure or rare record,
get someone to record it for you. But for Pete's sake,
how the hell are great reissue companies like Ace Records
supposed to survive if even the people with a serious
interest in the music they provide refuse to actually
purchase their product. With any luck you'll find more
than just one track you like on WHERE THE GIRLS ARE vol 4.
I helped compile and annotate this CD. That means I chose
the tracks and wrote the booklet for a very modest fee. I
put my heart and soul into the work I do. I like to think
I do it quite well. You'll have to ask someone else for
an unbiased opinion whether this CD is worth buying or
not.
Sometimes I feel that maybe I should just retire and lock
myself away with my 45s.
