Subject: Settlement, covers, other

Hi,

I've been away for a while, and am just catching up, so
if some of these comments are a few days late, I
apologize.

1. Just a thought on the Spector/Ronettes settlement - it
took two to make THAT sound, Ronnie's voice and Phil's
production. Listen to the earlier May Records stuff, like
"Memory," my favorite track of the lot - she's great, but
the production doesn't keep up with her. Results:
interesting, no hit. And then there are lesser talents -
Jean Du Shon's Spector-produced "Talk To Me, Talk To Me"
is very fine stuff - a derivative, of course, like
another Maxine Brown, but a good one. I have a follow-up
45 on Lenox by the same artist - very forgettable, right
down to the titles - and it hurts from bad production,
sounding like a 6th rate Shirelles outtake (that cheesy
early-60's Scepter-Wand sound badly reduced). The point:
everyone does their part to make it all work; the final
product is as strong as the weakest link. But y'all
already know that.

2. Paul Urbahns, personally I hate it when an artist
recuts an original - it just never FEELS the same.
Sometimes there's a good reason to recut: it can be
improved on for one reason or another, although in my
experience the closer the remake tracks to the original
version, the "less better" it is. (Extremely frustrating
examples: Chuck Berry's Mercury remakes of his Chess hits.)
Or sometimes an artist can reinterpret and reimagine a
song. For example, on the Everly Brothers' box set,
"Don't Let Our Love Die" opens (1951) and closes (1990)
the package; both versions have their own special magic
and either would stand alone. I agree it sucks when for
arbitrary reasons an artist or businessperson withholds a
song people want to hear and appreciate, but IMHO a
carbon copy is never as good as the original. I think a
good rule of thumb is don't remake - or cover - a song
unless (1) you can recreate the original to be noticeably
better, (2) you bring something new to it in a creatively
different version, and in either case (3) it can stand on
its own.

3. Re: Carol Conners; Brian C., I love "Angel My Angel"
(Capitol, 1962?). It's a Spectorian composition in the
Teddy Bears vein (those classic/classical-like melodies),
but arranged with the 60's orchestral-pop aesthetic.
Georgeous.

4. Re: Chiffons video clip - I missed whoever put it up
there, but thank you - it's my all-time fave Chiffons
track! (Who cares what the movie was about - get this on
VH1!)

5. Hey Monophonius, I enjoyed the Larry Levine interview
immensely.

Elisa,

They were Sue & Sunny, and had one other single on CBS
"I Don't Ever Wanna Be Kicked By You".  Perhaps not
quite as good as their Enchanted Forest cover, but
worth getting for the title alone!

Re: Elisa's (great story-who wouldn't have a crush on

history for more learned Spectropopers/popettes. I do have
a great single by The Stockingtops UK CBS '68 (bit of a
contradiction great, English female and 1968 but there you
go!!) titled "I Don't Ever Wanna Be Kicked By You" fab
title, tailor made for The Shangs!! Which to a degree is

 Written & Produced by the multi talented Kenny Lynch and
arranged by John Paul Jones. Well worth looking out for.

The Stocking Tops' "You're never gonna get my lovin" is
surely a great record, Elisa, but I always thought it was
a cover of an even better version by The Enchanted Forest
which came out in the UK on Stateside 2080. The label on
my copy says it's an Amy recording, arranged and produced
by Mort Shuman (who was co-writer). The other side is a
(very) early - 1967 - cover of Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne".

I haven't hear it, but the book I have in front of me
says that the Stocking Tops also recorded, in 1968, a 45
for UK CBS, I don't ever wanna be kicked by you / The
world we live in is a lonely place. Snappy titles, huh?

Yes, great idea Scott, with the two unissued Orchids
tracks "Society Girl" and "Just like Me" (Message 5 in
Digest 303 from Ian Chapman) that would be 27. Just
right for a modern compilation!

Well, that's two advance orders for a start!

In addition, Mick Patrick has pointed out to me that
Louise Cordet also made a number of records in French.

Are you referencing "phase shift cancellation"--sounds

I own three CDs of Cameo-Parkway hits on a label called

Hello All,


In answer to Michael Gessner's inquiry about the Cam-Park
CDs, I've been told that they are bootlegs.  Supposedly
ABKCO is not involved, but how can those CDs contain
unreleased material unless someone had access to the
vault?  Sounds like someone is making money but getting
around the issue of compensating the artists.  Steve
Caldwell of The Orlons has been working very hard to get
his material legitimately re-released and he is not happy
about these CDs.

>-----------------------------------------------<


Because they've never come out officially from the actual
label on CD.

The reasons are many, complex, and varied.  Here's the
general theories:

1) label owner Allen Klein is so busy with other projects,
he has no interest in making the small amount of money
that the Cameo-Parkway reissues would generate.

2) there are a ton of pending lawsuits against
Cameo-Parkway, mainly from artists like Chubby Checker
who were cheated out of a lot of royalties during the
1960s and 1970s. Klein didn't run the label during that
time, but since he bought it after their bankruptcy in
the mid-1970s, he's effectively inherited those debts. If
he were to reissue the recordings now, this would
probably open him up to a ton of lawsuits, and at the
very least, a full accounting of all royalty payments for
the past three decades (including the years he reissued
the songs on LP in the 1970s).

3) the master tapes are being reportedly held by a third
party, the studio that did most of the Cameo-Parkway
sessions in Philadelphia.  Until this guy (or his estate)
gets paid, he doesn't want to hand the tapes over to
Klein. According to industry insiders, this dispute goes
back 30 years, and initially forced Klein to use vinyl
LPs as source material for his reissues in the 1970s.
Apparently, it's still unresolved. Neither the studio nor
Klein can master the tapes to CD without the other's
permission, so it's a stalemate.

4) going back to reason #1, Klein was very irritated when
the long-awaited Phil Spector CDs met with only modest
sales in the late 1980s/early 1990s. I don't think he
ever even broke even on the deal, because Spector got a
fairly hefty advance (but not as much as Dave Clark got
for his songs from Disney). Klein is convinced that the
dwindling market for oldies would yield very small
profits, if any.

I should add that only Klein & Company know the reality
behind these theories, but each of them has the ring of
truth.  I do know for a fact that Chubby Checker, Bobby
Rydell, and the other surviving artists from the label
are very unhappy that their music has never been
legitimately released on CD, nor have they received any
royalties in decades.

The tragic thing is, as Paul Urbahns and I have discussed
in Email, the oldies market continues to age and grow
smaller over time.  While Klein might have been able to
sell 100,000 boxed sets in 1995, I bet he'd sell only 2/3
of that today.  It's a sad situation, but it's not
getting better as time goes on.  Several Cameo-Parkway
collections have been tentatively announced, then
cancelled, several times. They had even gotten in touch
with GOLDMINE/DISCOVERIES writer/editor Jeff Tamarkin to
do the liner notes, but as far as I know, those plans are
still on hold.

The problem with the bootlegs and the MP3 files is that
the vast majority of them don't sound too good.  A lot of
them frankly suck, as a matter of fact. But I guess for
many collectors, just having the songs in any form is
better than having none of them at all.

Finally:  If you want to nag Klein about it some more,
here's the info:

Don can't be serious. Alan (not Allen) Klein was a
British semi rock'n'roll, semi music hall performer
(rather in the mould of Anthony Newley as I recall) - no
way was he a New York record company executive in
disguise. He recorded a couple of 45s for Oriole, a few
for other labels (Parlophone, Page One, Decca) through
the 60s, without much success, but was quite well known
on UK television. Three Coins in the sewer was the
nearest he had to a hit and the only one I remember.

Peter

[ADMIN NOTE: Don's original message spelled the name
"ALAN". Assuming this to be a typo editors changed the
spelling to "ALLEN". The A. Klein of ABKCO spells his
name ALLEN. Apologies for any confusion caused by this.]

I have an article from Modern Recording magazine Feb/Mar
1976 issue in which Larry Levine is interviewed.  The
piece is called THE MEN BEHIND THE WALL OF SOUND.  In it,
Levine is asked about "The Big Hurt":

Larry Levine: Then I cut Tony Fisher's "The Big Hurt" in
1958. 

Modern Recording: "The Big Hurt?" I remember that record!
It was really a strange-sounding record in its day.
Didn't it have a phasing effect in it?

Levine: Well, yeah! But it didn't originally start out
that way.  It was recorded 3-track and mixed.  Wayne
Shanklin, the producer, loved the mix but didn't think
that Tony's voice was out far enough.  He wanted me to run
a simultaneous copy--run the two copies together--in order
for her voice to be doubled and more out front.  I told
him it wouldn't work, that the machines wouldn't hold in
sync.  It didn't, but he loved it.  The phasing was very
effective on the "gliss" that was being played by the
strings.  So then I recorded each 8-bar signature,
allowing the machine that was running faster to start a
little later--and then, in catching up and passing, the
phasing would happen.  I did this with each section of the
song and then edited the pieces together.  It was an
accident..that worked!

Well, in a condensed sort of way, you're right,
Brian...But, ALOT happened. While the Teddy Bears were
splitting in 1959, she had a bad car accident which
mangled her face up pretty good...The next year she
started on a solo career as Annette Kleinbard, but never
charted...It wasn't until about 1963 that she hit it big
as a songwriter using the name Carol Connors, having "Hey,
Little Cobra" (Rip Chords) as her first success. The rest
is history...

He also released at least one album. I don't remember
the title, but I do remember that Damon Albarn of Blur
cited it as the most influential album of his career
in an interview in 1995.

I do agree with this. I haven't heard the Enchanted
Forest's record since I lost my copy around 1975, but I
know it was good. Who were they? I seem to remember
reading that one of them was the sister of some famous
singer. Also, Mort Shuman was an interesting case study:
around the time of this record he was also adapting
Jacques Brel songs and recording a strange album of his
own called "My Death". Does anyone know of other records
produced by him? 

Sue and Sunny were pretty good too. They were on UK
television a lot, accompanying Joe Cocker of "With a
little help from my friends" and appearing regularly on
such things as the Bobbie Gentry Show.

Wonderful to see Carol Connors discussion here. One big
regret is that the Teddy Bears recorded so few sides
during their brief career - compared to the Fleetwoods,
for instance. So to me, a record like "My Baby Looks But
He Don't Touch" (arr: R Podlar, Prod: M Leib) is like a
lost Teddy Bears side. So is the excellent "What Do You
See In Him". I also heard "Yum Yum Yamaha" once or twice
and remember adoring it. I have "Listen to the Beat" on a
comp CD and it's pretty good although different from the
Teddy Bears style.

Here is the Carol Connors 45 discog as far as I know...

You Are My Answer / My Diary COLUMBIA 41976
Listen To The Beat / My Special Boy COLUMBIA 42155
What Do You See In Him / That's All It Takes COLUMBIA 42337 
Yum Yum Yamaha N.T.C. 3131
Never / Angel My Angel CAPITOL 5152
Big Big Love / Two Rivers ERA 3084
Tommy Go Away / I Wanna Know ERA 3096
My Baby Looks But He Don't Touch / Lonely Little Beach Girl MIRA 219

And, I guess Annette Bard's "Alibi" is also Carol Connors???

Alibi b/w What Difference Does It Make IMPERIAL 5643

That's a grand total of 17 tracks! Add the Swingin'
Summer sides and any others - now THERE'S a cd-r I'd like
to own! Put the Spector's Three tracks on there and you
have a pseudo 2nd Teddy Bears album!!!

I've heard only five of these 17 tracks. Only five! Sure
would be nice to hear some of the others if those with
bragging rights would care to play them for us... 'tis
the season doncha know. Feliz Navidad. Give the gift of
music, my *musica* pals! ;-)
