To supplement this broadcast, I've posted a picture of
Janie onto the Photo Albums - Miscellaneous photos folder.
This illustrated a short interview in the USA "Rock &
Roll Songs" Magazine from January 1963. The 2 pics in
that magazine are the only ones I've seen of her.

Unfortunately, the broadcast is about 2.00 a.m. here in
the UK - strong coffee in the morning!

Subject: Checkmates Ltd

It's nice to know I'm not the only one who listens to
the Hair anthology  suite  with a degree of pleasure,
(but then I also love the Leonard Cohen album). One
thing that always surprised me was how well Sonny
Charles sang on the whole album, whereas another (later)
album I have by the Checkmates is so ordinary.

I always thought, for no good reason, that it was
someone like Merry Clayton on Proud Mary (at that time
she was on everyone's records). I also recall reading
that Proud Mary was initially an eight-minute-long
recording: there is a funny noise half-way through the
track: was it a bad edit?

One other thing: did the Checkmates initial single
"Baby don't you get crazy" ever exist? I remember
reading an interview with John Sebastian in which he
talked about going to chez Spector to ask him to
produce the song, but did anything ever come of it?

Subject: Kit Kats

Good to see appreciation of the Kit Kats...To add a few
bits - Their "Won't Find Better Than Me" (great song) did
manage a UK release in 1966 on London (as The Kit Kats). 
There is a very nice live video of them performing this
song in a smallish club added to the end of the double CD
of theirs on Jamie 4008.
.
Its really atmospheric, and i reckon they must have been
a great group to have seen live then. A couple of years
ago I spent a delightful evening in Cambridge with Frank
Lipsius and his family.  Super nice guy Frank now runs
Jamie/Guyden, still with help from his dad Harold who was
the original sixties boss.  He told me that he had loads
of Kit Kats' material - enough for a 4CD set!!  His
revitalised company is puttting out some very nice
compilation re-issues, including some great Philadephia
early 60s Doo Wop (Ernie & the Halos,.Billy & the
Essentials, Anthony & the Sophomores etc).  I'd recommend
"Philly Doo Wop Classics" JG 4006, which also includes
The Kit Kats version of "Puddin'n'Tain".  Well worth
checking out.

Thank you Justin and Alan for the kind words about my
comp tape. I have been making these types of tapes for
years for my personal listening pleasure in the car. They
represent some alternative type of Top 40 with selections
taken from lower charted hits or records that just
"bubbled under" or records that should have been hits in
the perfect pop world. My record collection is comprised
of a lot of 45's and compilations and many of them are
songs that made the second half of the hot 100. In terms
of obscurities like the Gordian Knot or Forever Amber my
CD/Vinyl collection is sadly lacking but what I do have
are cassette copies of such material made by a dear
collector friend of mine.

I like to mix eras and genres but still have the music
flow in a way that makes some sort of sense. Somewhat
like the golden era of the progressive free form stations
like the one that Country Paul used to work at.

Billy Carr is likely the man and Jamie Carr is a name he

I didn't see this first post, but I'm pretty sure it
wasn't Chuck Alden.

As to the Illusion, I'm not sure if it was the same group
or not, but at one time Ellie Greenwich and I auditioned
a band from Long Island at Associated Recording. They
didn't knock us out, and they went on to sign with Jeff
Barry.

I always thought they were The Illusion---and  in either
event, I was later told that when this particular group
auditioned for us, a young man named Billy Joel was
playing keyboards. I don't know that, but maybe someone
else can jump in here and fill.

Kenny Young was a friend of Mikie Harris and Jeannie
Thomas and used them on his demos in NYC during the mid
60's.  I recall that he went to England about '69,/'70
--I heard it was to "work" with Mickie Most.

I believe his real name was Murray Gitlin or something
like that. Very nice, kind of shy guy--loner, private
person.  Wrote alone, worked alone.  I previously
mentioned too that I'm pretty sure he wrote "Arizona"

It seems a shame (although somewhat fitting) that N'Sync
are slated to appear in Star Wars Chapter II: Attack Of
The Clones, when there are going to be some perfectly
good Archies and Pussycats available. Now THAT I would go
see.

Are you listening, Lou??

Actually it was mentioned along with the Swingin'
Medallions "Double Shot of My Baby's Love" and speaking
of the Medallions I think their other hit "She Drives Me
Out Of My Mind" also featured some party noises and what
about Jimmy Soul's "If You Want to Be Happy" a very Gary
US Bonds type of song. Hey this is a fun thread.

I was going to mention that - and indeed the whole

obvious... also no-one's mentioned the audience noise
on Sgt Pepper, though I don't know if that counts as
it's meant to sound faked...

Hi all,

There has been some great listening here lately and I
just wanted to say thanks to those who play some of their
obscure records for us. 

I just got finished listening to Bruce's No Gold in
California. Interesting - not what I expected. Starts
with a "Concrete & Clay" groove that segues into an
Eagles-like two line chorus before venturing off into a
Beach Boys vocal section - but BB circa Surf's Up rather
than All Summer Long. I hear more Bruce Johnston than
Brian Wilson. Lot of tricky chord changes in there too
which reminded me a bit of the Sunrays.

As to the Byzantine Empire tracks - WOW! Snow Queen is
excellent, and stands up to Roger Nichols version in its
own unique way. In fact, all the BE tracks I've heard are
wonderful! Bruce, you wondered out loud if the band made
a mistake in not going for a harder "live" sound rather
than compromising by trying to make a commercial hit -
well who knows what would or could have happened, but I
for one am very happy to have heard these Byzantine
Empire records finally. 

Pixies 3 - Love Me was a treat to hear too. It's not on
Growin' Up Too Fast comp, but Justin - this compilation
is really a great starting point with hits and non-hits
alike. It has a few choice Pixies 3 tracks and some tasty
Diane Renay stuff too. Sooper highly recommended.

And hey! That Kit Kats record, which I had never heard,
is GREAT! The groove reminds me a lot of Kind of Boy You
Can't Forget. What compression!

Cathy Brasher, Carol Connors, Factotums, Lettermen,
Margie Day...I really enjoyed hearing each one of these.
Thanks everyone. 

Anyone else listen to the Janie Grant special on internet
radio today? 

Besides Triangle, Romeo, Greasy Kid Stuff and Tell Me
Mama, Ronnie Allen played several Janie sides that I
had never heard before. Diane Renay special coming up on
the same station http://www.wbcb1490.com on Monday night
21st Jan at 10:00 p.m. EST. Ronnie said he is going to
play several from Diane's new self-released CD entitled
"Diane Renay Sings Some Things Old & Some Things New."

Diane Renay


All the best,


Jamie

Hi Paul,

"A certain degree of pleasure" is an understatement. I
always loved this production. As a matter of fact I love
the whole LP. And for years this was #1 on my most wanted
CD, until I finally got it.

> I always thought, for no good reason, that it was

I share your opinion and also favored the Merry Clayton
possibility. Especially because this part was typical of
the kind of backing vocals she was often asked to perform
(with Bobby Darin for instance).

> ordinary.

I also agree with you about the other Checkmates Ltd
recordings, very very strangely uninteresting!

I never noticed the bad edit noise on Proud Mary, I'll
check it out and see if I can hear anything though it
wouldn't surprise me a bit to learn that even the Hair
side was longer than what came out.

> One other thing: did the Checkmates initial single

As for the Checkmates single, I never even heard of it,
so I can't help you on this one.

A few more: "Soul Finger" by the Bar-Kays, "How Sweet It

"Say Man" by Bo Diddley (first record I ever owned) and
especially "If You Want To Be Happy" by Jimmy Soul. Did
anyone mention "Barbara Ann" (pick a performer)? Bob
Dylan's "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" - even more a hoot when
considered of this genre.

Not of the Spectropop era but one of the greatest fake
party records ever was "Lay Your Love On Me", a Mike
Chapman/Nicky Chinn studio creation under the name Racey
circa 1979 & a massive hit in Australia.

The story, as much as I know, Jonathan King (British
songwriter, performer, egomamiac, ...now in jail for
unspeakable acts) was in the States and met Phil Spector.
He was played the first recording by Phil's new signing
(Sonny Charles and The Checkmates Ltd). The track opened
with hundreds of strumming mandolins, and was called 'Baby
don't you get crazy'. Jonathan thought it was wonderful.
Later when 'Love is all I have to give' was issued instead
(also opening with hundreds of strumming mandolins)
Jonathan was asked if that was the song he'd previously
heard. He was adamant that it wasn't...if was definitely
called 'Baby.....' Of course by then it was discovered
that 'Baby ...' was scheduled as A&M 1006, but never
issued. I don't recall how we knew that it was a John
Sebastian song (I found his own version of it on an album
a few years later, but it seems a very unlikely song for
Phil to do with The Checkmates - depending on the
arrangement of course). Big mystery eh? Something to do
with not good enough for his comeback production maybe?
Phil's Box Set would have been an ideal time for him to
reveal it to the world. Of course there's a lot of
material still in the vaults that we might get to hear
sometime. Gary, how about quietly borrowing the key from
Dad and letting us hear them all? 

BTW, what's the state of play with Nancy Sinatra and Phil
dating?

After listening to "That's the way" the song and sound

Anyone who knows me also knows that Jeff Barry's work is
an obsession of mine.  The first article I wrote about
him focused on his production work, which I've collected
for many years.  For the record, here's a list of what I
consider to be the 25 greatest Jeff Barry productions,
