Subject: Re: Alder Ray
Here's an Alder Ray discography for Jimmy, Mark, John and
anyone else who might be interested. It might not be quite
complete and it does not include the records she made for
the Challenge label as a member of the Delicates. Can anyone
add to it?
As Alder Ray:
'Cause I Love Him/A Little Love (Will Go A Long Way)
(Liberty 55715, 1964)
I Need You Baby/My Heart Is In Danger (Minit 32005, 1966)
Love Will Let You Down/Run Baby Run (Revue 11014, 1968)
As Alder Ray Mathis:
I Want To Get Married/Take Me Baby (Jetstar 122, 1970)
As Alder Ray Black & the Fame Gang:
Just Because The Package Has Been Unwrapped (Doesn't Mean
The Merchandise Is Spoiled)/Put Your Trust In Me (You Can
Depend On me) (Sound Plus 2102, 1976)
I've posted a nice '70s pic of Alder to the S'pop photo file:

Subject: Lee Hazlewood
Just come across an interesting E.P. on Mercury MEP - 87.
The title is 'The Lee Hazlewood Autobiography' by Lee Hazlewood.
It is very funny, performed with a droll delivery and only
a guitar backing. It appears to be a promo for his album
'Trouble is a Lonesome Town'. There are 6 tracks:
1: Who Is Lee Hazlewood.
2: Moved From Place Of Birth.
3: His Girl In High School.
4: In The Army.
5: Disc Jockey.
6: Record Biz.

Quoting Art Longmire:

Wendy and Bonnie's "Genesis" (Skye SK 1006D, 1969, reissued as
Sundazed SC11089 with five bonus tracks) is utterly lovely San
Francisco psychedelia with a slightly jazzy feel, perhaps due to
the fact that Skye was primarily a jazz label. The girls' last
name, aptly, was Flower. The instrumentation is first-rate, with
Larry Carlton on guitar, Jim Keltner on drums, Michael Lang and
Mike Melvoin doing the keyboards, and Randy Clerly on bass. No
orchestral sweetening: this is tight small-combo music with
gorgeous harmonies on top.
Reissue producer Irwin Chusid (there's another name you've heard
before) says that what killed their career was a horrific double
play: the sudden collapse of their record company, followed quickly
by the death of producer Gary McFarland. This being a Sundazed
reissue, you know it's going to sound as good as it possibly can;
the bonus tracks are home demos that might have been worked up
for the second album that never was. It's definitely worth some
of your time.

I agree. Thank goodness there are people out there who still collect
original 45s, as opposed to mp3s or crappy bootleg CDs. Without such
folk, vital label copy would be lost forever. To me, songwriters and
producers are as important as the performing artists. I enjoy looking
at records almost as much as listening to them. Well, almost! :-)

The record is, like most US pressings, free of any mention of issue
dates. However, the "Goldmine" price guide gives the year of issue
as 1971 which would place it in front of "Octopus's Garden", 1972,
"Shoes", and "Jesibee Lancer" (both 1975). The same source gives
"I've Got An Awful Lot of Losing To Do" as the flip of "..the
Bowery" (Kapp 989) thus filling that gap in the discography. This
track (actually "I've Got an Awful Lot of Losing You to Do" is on
Kapp K-2050 already in Robert's discography. So, I've tried putting
this together with all the dates I can glean to form the following
revised discography. I'm sure there'll be more contributions to be
made so please come forward if anyone can add to or correct this
list.
I should add that some of the info. may be incomplete because in
many cases I have European issues of the records and some (e.g. the
German issue of Octopus's Garden) give few details.

Mark F, as always, is quite correct. I produced and co-wrote it with
Kris Ife as a "one off" single during the Samantha Jones album
("Sam") sessions. Remember, those were still the "singles" days,
during which "one offs" were the norm in a shotgun aproach to producing/releasing records, playing the odds of maybe "HITting"
something, then following it up with "more' in the event of a
"bullseye." Obviously, Krimson Kake missed the target.
Happy you like the thing, We certainly had a lot of fun recording it.

Hey Mike, *everybody* gets Jack and Jerry Keller mixed up! :-) In
fact, I wouldn't mind betting they receive each others songwriter
royalties. A while back I was called upon to write a paragraph
about Jerry. Here's what I came up with:
Born in Arkansas in 1937 and raised in Oklahoma, JERRY KELLER got
an early taste for performing as a member of the Tulsa Boy
Singers touring gospel chorale. In high school he led his own
quartet, the Lads Of Note. He moved to New York in 1956 in search
of solo stardom. Three years later, with a little help from his
pal Pat Boone (they met at church, natch), he was signed by the
Kapp label for whom he immediately delivered the Top 20 hit 'HERE
COMES SUMMER'. His touring schedule took him to the U.K. where his
presence helped his sunny anthem reach #1. Keller's releases
continued for many years but, with the exception of the 1961 near-
hit 'Be Careful How You Drive, Young Joey', the clean-cut fellow
never achieved another chart record, although Andy Williams' 1964
seller 'Almost There' and 'Turn-Down Day', a Top 20 entry for the
Cyrcle two years later, both carried his name as a composer.
There, *now* you have a clue who he is. :-)

Patrick, to form the following revised discography.
I'm sure there'll be more contributions to be made so please come

By the way, the "Kiss 'n' Tell" CD that I plugged before as a source
for "Leave Us Alone" is sadly now deleted but should still be
available in some stores. That 45's other side, "Your Big Mistake",
is available on another ACE CD "Ernie Maresca, the Original Wanderer"

Susan, I'm offended you didn't come directly to me first for this! :-)
This is the single:
(One Of These Days) Sunday's Gonna' Come On Tuesday (Sheldon-Keller)/Baby
The Rain Must Fall (Sheldon-Bernstein) - The New Establishment, Colgems
66-5006: 1969, Produced by Ernie Sheldon & Jack Keller (A-side), Ernie
Sheldon (B-side); Arranged by Perry Botkin, Jr. (A-side), Don McGinnis
(B-side)
This ties in nicely with the Jack/Jerry Keller thread here.
And their followup was their version of "Seattle" (Colgems 66-5009) which
Keith just talked about.

...not to mention Crazy Paving, and Wild Silk (UK group, Ray Davies
song unreleased by The Kinks), and Bob Rains & Admiral Strange, and
Dangerfield, and Andy & David Williams, and Bedford Incident, and
The Renaissance, and The Gentle Touch, and The Ides Of March, and
The Marshmellow Highway, and Theodore Love, and The Elastic Band (J.
Webb's "Tunesmith"), and The Feathers, and Chris Simmons, and The
Spaulding Wood Affair, and The #1 (best version of "The Collector" -
better than the Everlys), and Don Scardino, and The Outsiders
featuring (Jon Simonell), and Brian Neary, and Just Us (great soft
pop), and The Wild Cherries, and TR-5, and, well you get the idea. :-)
Lots of great non-MOR stuff on Kapp.

Thanks for the ad; it's great. This is a great Christmas single!
I've got a stone mint copy of this; remind me to play "Loneliest
Christmas Tree" to musica in December. While she does sound girlish
in a Diana Ross sort of way (though more soulful), I would never have
guessed that she was only 11 at the time!
And the Canterbury Lisa Miller LP (WITHIN MYSELF) is fabulous as has
been mentioned here already. Those of you who know Lisa Mychols, I
burned a copy of it for her as possible material for her forthcoming
covers CD (and she loved it too).

River Deep - Mountain High is on her 1974 album remarkably
recorded on the Stax label. It was produced by Tommy Scott
for Ashtree Holdings and arranged by Arthur Greenslade.
The album boasts big sounds and big production, but
unfortunately, the rest of the LP tanks big time with songs:
Rock-A-Bye Your Baby With a Dixie Melody, Pennies From Heaven,
Ma, He's Making Eyes at Me. Her precociousness practically
throws you up against the wall and makes you beg for mercy.
HOWEVER,
there is another track to tickle and tease. It's her version
of Help Me Make It Through The Night. Wrong on many levels!
A ten year old singing "take the ribbon from my hair...lay it
soft against my skin... come lay down by my side...euwwww! So
bad, I had to include it in one of my "Soft Rock Train Wrecks"
comps (a little out of time from the rest of the 60s inclusions
but worthy).
best,
Kory
