Wow! I had a dream that I had never actually heard that god awful "Pet Sounds
Live" cd, then morning came and reality set in once again. It's been rough, but
I'm coping with it one day at a time.

Kingsley is absolutely correct, the work that Paul has done is
unbelievable. I don't know him other either, other than having spoken on
the phone to order more of his wonderful lists.
Please support his valuable work.

Times have changed. It's been 25 years now since he started
this & he still has his ass on all these listings & is selling
them piece by piece: £5.00 for everything on the Dawn label,
£6.00 for Top Rank, another £4.00 for Ember etc. If you bought
these listings 20 years ago & you want an update now, you will
have to pay for them again....that's what I was told.
I don't want to critize Paul Pelletier personally. He once did
a fantastic job to gather all these informations (often FREELY
supplied by collectors worldwide, by the way), but it's time
now to think of something else. Either you publish a book that
compiles the listings of all labels, a sort of Record Collector
(Non-Price) Guide, or you put everything on the internet...
wouldn't that be a wonderful addition to the Spectropop Research
Center? There are lots of these "labours of love" available on the
net, "Bubblegum The Punk", "Tapestry of Delights" etc. made by
enthusiasts who are willin' to share their passion for free with
the rest of the world + providing much more than just the standard
artist, songs, label, number, year listings (well, isn't that what
we actually do here at Spectropop as well?). Even BMI has made a
lot of their files available for the public. What about a database
in the same vein as the fantastic "Searchin' for Shakes" (database
for 60s garage, psych compilations), so that you can sort by artist
name etc.....wow! that would be great!
I'm a collector myself for more then 20 years & I have gathered a
lot of "vital info" etc. by exchanging them with fellow "kindred
spirits" from around the world. If you need to know anything, just
get in touch with me. E-mails that offer money for info will be
disregarded :·)
