... Joey Sir - I would've thought your name would be Joey "P"!!!! I got the answer about Laura Nyro's backgrounders from a Laura aficionado-- it was a group...
... One thing I noticed on the website with the Love & Tears picture sleeves is that the LP "Needles And Pins" was re-released on CD - have you tried to find...
No one, in my time with this group, has mentioned The Three Degrees. Wonderful girls group out of Philly and did tons and tons of backgrounds before and after...
Another Mystery 45 I have been trying to find is "Somethings Gone" by The Jam (not the Paul Weller-led UK band). David Bash put this on one of his AOL Power...
... Billy Mitchell's "You Know I Do" is now playing on musica and it's a very good early Brill Building sound. I always thought it was Jeff Barry singing the...
That's a neat version. The more impassioned verse vocal sounds quite a bit like Steve Marriot. The Searchers still did the definitive recording IMHO, and I...
Phil's new production for Starsailor is available on http://www.nme.com/features/105740.htm Sounds like he hired a drummer, someone with a triangle and...
Hey gang: It's so funny how "Lightning Strikes" just played on the radio (and there is a bit of a monsoon here in New York), and it reminded me of the recent...
Replying to my own message - I did find a little bit of information about the record on the Fuzz Acid and Flowers website. "This seems to have been a one-off...
... Thanks for bringing up Prince Charles' favorites, Mike. But whaddaya mean "their one big hit" ? At least in the UK it was their only #1, but they hit top...
The e-mail address for Showbiz Publications shown in my last message is not quite as I typed it. The last bit is shown in the book as @AOL.com - Should be...
... I have a copy of the Jeff Barry single "We Got Love Money Can't Buy" b/w "Welcome Home". Yes, the flipside is good, much better than the A-side . . . I...
This SUNDAY at 2pm-4pm GMT on Soul 24-7 http://www.soul24-7.com/index.htm The Worlds Greatest Soul Music URL. The METROPOLITAN SOUL SHOW - Live every Week!...
Billy - I've been seeking the record as well. I believe there were stock copies and I think they go for big bucks. I love the organ on "Somethings Gone"....
... And now Dave Feldman, who doesn't have much to add but wants some payoff for the cutting and pasting, adds feebly: Just a reminder that there are two...
... I didn't know about it until your post, but I just bought it from Amazon Marketplace, used, for $20. Several copies are available for slightly more there...
I love this song [Knock Three Times] by Tony Orlando and Dawn but now that someone was mentioning Ellie Greenwich possibly singing on "Lightning Strikes", I...
... The Rover Boys' version (UA, 1961) is now playing on musica for Brill Building fans everywhere. The group sounds like a lite version of Jay & The...
Wonderful group and they'll be doing dates in England later this month. One of them is at my friends' blessing on the 25th and I'm very much looking forward to...
Interesting all this, because it shows the UK/US divide quite nicely. The name means MUCH more here than it does Stateside! They have a history stretching back...
I had some requests for me to post this again so here it is - The Saturday Morning Playlist 1. The (Bossa Nova) Bird - The Dells -Argo 2. When You Dance -...
... Hey! I tried to get a Laura Nyro thread going a couple of months ago, but had no takers! I feel much abused now and I'm going off to have a good sulk. Bill...
Hi folks. I love listening to Andy Kim's recordings on Steed Records from the late 60s and early 70s, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me who the...
Hi All, I've been off the list for a while (must be a few years now) but it hasn't stopped me digging... For the last few months I've been gathering...
... Billy, I think that your impression is quite right. In Jerry Osborne's book "Rockin' Records", he puts Jam's single on Sire in 1968. When I first saw that...
I have to agree with Dave Feldman on Laura Nyro - an incredible talent at such a young age. I read the biography on her that appeared recently and enjoyed it...
