Looks like a great track listing for Ripples 8! Number 7 still
gets played every few days in this household. Glad to see another
Consortium track made available too. They get my vote for one of
the top British harmony groups ever. I like them because they retain
the British sound... maybe its the mellotron? The Blinkers track is
just a great driving beat/soul/harmony track.
As for "Mum & Dad", the comp Flight Recorder only mentions this
track briefly by saying that the lyric was considered "non-daytime"
and was effectively banned by the BBC. Why? Maybe I just can't
understand the lyrics, but it sounds to me like all they are saying
"Mum and Dad do stuff every day". Not trying to be naive, but the
lyric just reminds me of "Wouldn't It Be Nice". The implication is
even subtler in "Mum & Dad".
The track is written by Murray/Callendar. That is Mitch Murray,
correct? Does anyone have any information about their writing
partnership. Their material seems to have been offered to a variety
of obscure bands like The Flies and other British pop bands of the
later 60s.

As a proud owner of the Kalin Twins album and the single, "When",
my suggestion for finding their second-best song is: flip the
single over! "Three O'Clock Thrill" is cool.

PS If anybody from Spectropop came out to my club The 45 Club on
Saturday at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood....Thanks! We had an
excellent 200+ turn out and lots of great, both known and unknown,
soul 45's were played. It was great to hear these records in one of
the contexts that they were made for. I hope you had a fun time,
Cheers,
LF

Subject: Sylvia and the Sapphires/Carolines
Thanks for info on the Mason sisters, Ian!
Which leads me to put this out for discussion. Spectropop has
chatted about It's My Party, Sylvia and the Sapphires, and now I'm
about to go looking for the Jodelles. What are some other notable
tributes groups that have recorded material? Do we have any kind
of consensus on who has recreated the sound best? I know I love
the cheeky stuff Rachel Sweet did, and the tracks For Real did as
the Luminairies on the Grace of My Heart soundtrack was nice. What
else is out there?
Next up... I know "Can't Stop Lovin' The Boy," appeared on the
Touch the Wall of Sound, but I've downloaded another song
called "You're My Baby," by the group which is just wild! I think
we established on Spectropop that this group recorded in
1967/1968. Any more new info anyone care to shed? Were these two
sides of the same single? Who wrote/produced it? What label? I
know Dave Marsh and Spectropoppers have said Reparata and the
Delrons' "Nobody's Baby," was the last great girl group sounding
single, but I think this has my vote.

Hi,
In answer to the question form Will Stos about THE CAROLINES:
The two tracks concerned were released back-to-back on Roulette
4709 late in 1966. "Can't Stop Lovin' The Boy" was written by Larry
Weiss and Tom Catalano. The B-side, "You're My Baby", was a
solo Weiss composition. Both sides were arranged by Artie Butler
and produced by Larry Weiss for Glamorous Productions. To my
knowledge, the group released no other records. Although there
was a British group of the same name active at around the same
name.
Just to save anyone the bother of posting "Your My Lovin' Baby" to
musica, only to have it immediately deleted by an uberSpectropop-
er, I'd like to point out that the track is contained on the CD "Run
Mascara" (UK Sequel NEMCD 193).
