Would like to hear OFF LIST from some of the songwriters out there re the following: Assume that you write a song that is included on a popular CD, but not...
... I must be familiar with the 45 version only, as I don't recognize this splice, at least not by description. My vote for worst splice, apart from the...
I have to commend Rhino Records for their "Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons Anthology" 2-disc set from a couple years ago, not to mention the companion disc...
... Prompting two more questions about Crewe and crowd. 1. Who produced Mitch Ryder's apparently post-Barbarella 45 version of "I Make A Fool Of Myself",...
... Hmmm... well, maybe it's just a matter of semantics. If a cousin of mine didn't have the record, it'd have been 1983 before I saw a copy of Daddy Dewdrop's...

Another similarly poor edit was done to "Timothy" by The Buoys. This was done to insert alternate lyrics that were supposedly more "radio friendly". That...

Can someone give me some information about Tommy Dae and the High Tensions? They released several 45s on Hitt records in the 60s and 70s, as well as a lone 45...
... I detailed this in my previous posts regarding TJ's recordings, but note that the splice and speed variation problem with the longer version were corrected...
... I wonder if the song was written by Lee himself. It sure sounds like him. To be honest I think the song would suit his raucous voice much better. In fact...
For more on Motown in the UK, don't miss Adam White's rticle "Dancing in the Streets of Britain" in today's (April 1st) online edition of The Independent. ...
... It's not a splice, exactly - it's a punch in. Because people tend to project more when they sing than when they speak, spoken parts tend to be softer. To...
... Is this the same artist featured on the 45 "Tom Dae Dropped Out" (or something close to that title) as found on a few '60s psych comps? John Berg...
This has been discussed here before, and although it has roots in the Spectropop era, it's as new as today: the new CD by Susan Cowsill, "Just Believe It"...

Shucks, folks, I'm speechless. No, really. Between the (admittedly pleasurable) one-two punch of Martin Roberts's new "Jack and Terry" pages on this site and...
Sadly, two more S'pop heroes have passed away: songwriter Jack Keller and Juggy Murray, the founder of Sue Records. Jack Keller - co-author of such great songs...

... Sad news indeed. As a tribute, I've posted to musica one of my favourite Jack Keller songs. As far as I know, for some reason this great track is not out...
I just bought an LP called "Girls About Town" that came out in the 80s from Impact records. It has a track on it called "Bad Trouble", which is the same song...
