Dear Spectropop,
Congratulations to competition winner Mr Antonio Vizcarra. The
answer to my quiz was all of the songs on my list were recorded
by Petula Clark in French.
Notify me (off-list) with your address and I will send your
prize. Let me know your taste in music.
M. Anthony

Thank you Mick. I enjoyed it.
OK everyone, let's start learning Japanese;-)
I did research for this song, but I couldn't find anything
about Japanese version. Is this record released in Japan?
If you know something about this song more, please tell me.
Arigato.
keiko

Subject: More Knack on musica
I've played the A-side of The Knack's third single to musica
as requested; here's the info:
Pretty Daisy (Chain-Kaplan) - The Knack, Capitol 5940: 1967,
Produced by Alexis de Avezedo
I'll put up the flip "Banana Man" when space allows.
If anyone has or has any leads on a copy of their second single
- "Sofly, Softly"/"The Step" (Capitol 5889, 1967), please
contact me off list.
Thanks!
Jeff

It sounds so 60s because he sampled the first couple bars of
Len Barry's 1965 hit "1-2-3" and looped it over and over as
the main riff of that song. Great song anyway, I was very happy
when it became a radio hit here in the USA.

Subject: Bubblegum Achievement Awards at the Magic Castle
The Bubblegum Queen and the editors of "Bubblegum Music is
the Naked Truth" invite you to share a very special evening
at Hollywood's Magic Castle on January 18, 2003. It's the
First Annual Bubblegum Achievement Awards, honoring Artie Ripp
of Buddah Records and the Turtles' Mark Volman, for his work
on the astonishing Strawberry Shortcake records, which gave
'80s kids a powerful injection of bubblemania.
Also appearing are Bobby Conn, Monotrona and the scientific
magic of David Lovering. Your ticket entitles you to a
gourmet meal, a reserved seat for the main show in the
Palace of Mystery, and entry to the private Inner Sanctum
for the awards themselves. There will be dancing to DJ
Gremmy's collection of vintage 45s, karaoke, contests with
neat-o prizes, a full bar (from the set of "Hello Dolly!")
and rare videos screening until midnight, after which we'll
move back upstairs to enjoy more magic shows, history and
tippling until the 2pm closing time.
The Magic Castle is a private magician's club housed in a
1908 mansion in the hills above Hollywood. Usually the only
way to get inside is to be a member, or to be personally
invited by a member. And unlike some private clubs, this one
is worth all the trouble it takes to get in. The atmosphere
is pure Charles Addams, and you can spend hours examining the
film and magic memorabilia.
The cost for all of the night's entertainment, including your
meal, tip and tax, is just $69, or $135 for two. Drinks are
extra. We will be limited to just 129 guests, the maximum
capacity of the Palace of Mystery.
If you would like to attend this special event, please email
The Editrix at scram@scrammagazine.com to reserve your spot,
and send a check or money order payable to "Kim Cooper" to
PO Box 461626, Hollywood, CA 90046-1626. Again, that's $69
for each individual ticket, or $135 for two. Tickets are
non-refundable, but if "something suddenly comes up" we can
probably help match you with someone on the waiting list.
The Magic Bubble will burst on Saturday January 18, 2003.
This event is 21 and over, and is subject to a mildly classy
dress code. We hope to see you there!

I also want to add my 'other' (I have 4!) Live 365 station
called "60s Jangle Radio" at:
http://www.live365.com/stations/88545
(outdated homepage)http://listen.to/jangleradio
Its my own (strange) mix of British Invasion, Garage Bands,
Pop-Pysch, and Bubblegum classics/rare goodies from the
mid 60s to the very early 70s.
And if you love Modern Power Pop check out "Jangle Radio"!
http://www.live365.com/stations/185310 (56K stereo)
http://www.live365.com/stations/10192 (24K Mono)
PS: whoever posted the link to WPON radio, thanks. I have been
enjoying it! I hope the station is doing well financally. It's
very tough for a 1000 watt AM station to survive and find a
niche in a major market.
Billy

Subject: Re: Best real audio sites?
At the invitation of Jamie some time ago, I took my two
Gary Usher related live365.com stations and created the
following stations:
Gary Usher's Spectopop Radio at
http://www.live365.com/stations/84738
and
Together Radio with Spectropop Producers Gary Usher and
Curt Boettcher at http://www.live365.com/stations/219638
At this time, those who want to listen to these stations
will have to be preferred members of live365.com
Enjoy,
Ron Weekes
http://www.garyusher.com
p.s. if you ever lose the URLs to these two stations,
you'll find links to them at my Gary Usher web site.
