Hi Will,
Don't think there is but one version of The Doolang... it's the
type of song that was most likely only recorded once, as good as
it is...maybe somebody's record player is off speed?? I can send
you a cut of it on tape from tape played at exactly 45rpm.
And the Girlfriends also recorded "I Want to Be Happy," a raucous
version of that song. I have it on tape, too.
Best,
Jimmy

This was posted somewhere else, but since it is solely release
info, I am taking the liberty of reposting it to the list. Sorry
to those who have seen this already elsewhere.
ASSOCIATION-AND THEN...ALONG COMES MARY + 4
Japanese reissue of the pop vocal group's debut smash, a top five
album when first released in 1967 for Warner Brothers. Features
all 12 of the original tracks, including the #1 "Cherish" & the
top 10 "Along Comes Mary", plus four bonus tracks: alternate
versions of both of those hits and the B-sides "One Too Many" &
"Forty Times".
(WB? I thought the album was first released on Valiant...)
ASSOCIATION-BIRTHDAY + 5
Japanese reissue of the pop vocal group's top 30 1968 album for
Warner Brothers, featuring the top 30 hit "Everything That Touches
You" and five bonus tracks: the B-sides "Six Man Band" & "Under
Branches", and alternate versions of the album tracks "Everything
That Touches You", "Time For Livin'" & "Hear In Here". 16 tracks
total.
ASSOCIATION-INSIGHT OUT + 2
Japanese reissue of the pop vocal group's top 10 1967 album for
Warner Brothers, featuring the chart-topping hit "Windy" and the
#2 smash "Never My Love", plus alternate versions of both of these
classics as bonus tracks. 13 tracks total.
ASSOCIATION-RENAISSANCE + 2
Japanese reissue of the pop vocal group's second album, a top 40
record when first released for Warner Brothers in 1967. Includes
alternate versions of the album cuts "Pandora's Golden Heebie
Jeebies" & "No Fair At All" as bonus tracks, for a total of 14
selections.
With these and the forthcoming revamp of the BB catalog (can't wait
for Enless Harmony), I need to start moonlighting to save enough $$
for everything!

Coincidentally, I too just got back from a trip to the South. I
spent a few days in Nashville (hot, hot, hot). While eating
vegetarian nachos in a quasi-organic cafe the BGM was playing some
incredible stuff, of course mixed in with the Johnny Angels and
It's My Parties. Still, I was really surprised by this. And, like
you Dave, I suspected it was a cable radio thing because there
were no commercials or DJs. Imagine that...
Three days in Nashville and never once heard a country record!

Thanks to both John and Rob for their help. I'm going to plow
through the news stories now.
>Will, you've piqued my interest. I have most of the HCTG series,
>but not #9 yet. Must get.
I think of all the HCTG sets I have, which is only a few, I like
this the best! The Cameo-Parkway singles are worth the price alone,
but other great songs by the likes of the Sapphires, the Yum
Yums (Honey and the Bees) and Devotion make it one of the best
restricted (only a few groups on related labels or producers) comp
I've seen yet.
"You Baby" is one of my favourite Ronettes tracks.

That's how I found the Cookies' "I Want A Boy for My Birthday," in
a laundry basket in a dusty old thrift shop in Connecticut... and
ask your RELATIVES who are now in their 40s - 50s, if you can look
through their collections. If Cousin Fannie was 15 years of age in
1963, and buying records, she's 50 now... if Cousin Frankie was 13
and buying records in 1963, then he's 48 now... give them a call! I
once had a first cousin (once removed) bring me HER records in 1970,
and there were Philles originals in there that she let me keep... it was
the first time I'd heard "Then He Kissed Me" and "He's
Sure the Boy I Love" and I was blown away... to this day, those
Spector cuts never sounded better than on those old 45 rpm records!
