Billy -
You're the man! I thought I'd get to be the first to mention
"Nobody Knows...Mind but Me" but you beat me to it! Wasn't that
written by Brute Force (or is that something else I made up) ??
GREAT song!

Yes, "Walkin' Through A Cemetery" is like "Party Lights," or
perhaps more like "Walk Me Home (From the Party)." She does a "
witch cackle" that is great!

It does indeed David, and Stu Cook told me that the Zombies were a
specific influence on that tune, and the Golliwogs in general. The
mono Odessey masters did eventually turn up, but not in time to
make the box.

Ronettes, Phil Spector tussle in New York court
By Jeanne King
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York City courtroom was filled with the
sounds of 1960s pop hits like "Be My Baby" Tuesday as arguments
began in an $11 million lawsuit filed by the Ronettes against
their former producer, Phil Spector.
Members of the classic "girl group," who include the producer's
ex-wife Ronnie Spector, claim he cheated them out of their
royalties and that they have not received any money from him since
1964.
They are suing for breach of contract, lost and future earnings
and ownership of original recordings.
The Ronettes' attorney, Alexander Peltz, opened his case by
playing a number of their hits -- "Be My Baby," "Walking in the
Rain," and "Baby I Love You" -- for Manhattan Supreme Court Judge
Paula Omansky, who is hearing the case without a jury.
Ronnie Spector, the trio's lead singer who now performs as a solo
act, sat in the back row of the courtroom, singing to herself as
the music played. Her marriage to Spector ended in divorce in 1974.
Phil Spector was one of the 1960s' most influential and successful
producers. His creative trademark of overdubbing dozens of
musicians on a single record became known as the "Wall of Sound"
technique.
Peltz said the group had a contract with Spector dating from 1963,
but that all efforts to recoup their earnings had proved fruitless.
He said Spector's response was that the group owed him money for
production costs.
"Phil Spector was a boy genius in music, producing, assembling,
marketing girl groups -- but he was also a genius in greed,
vengeance and spite," Peltz said.
The Ronettes, known for their beehive hairdos and dark eye makeup,
also included Ronnie Spector's sister Estelle Bennett and their
cousin, Nedra Talley Ross. All three came from the New York City
neighborhood known as Spanish Harlem.
Phil Spector's attorney, Andrew Bart, said in his opening
statement that Ronnie Spector signed away her portion of the
group's earnings in her divorce settlement.
Bart also said the Ronettes were trying to rewrite their contract
to add items that may be common in contemporary contracts but did
not exist three decades ago. He said Spector would concede to
owing, at most, $350,000 in unpaid royalties to the trio.
Ronnie Spector was slated to testify Wednesday.
