I have Buzz's LP, which is excellent, especially "Unchained
Melody". Also, my 45 of the original version of the "Baby
Sitting Boogie", called "Baby Talk" by Mike and Lulu, is great!

Well, it's reappeared: must've been a temporary glitch.
Sorry about that

Hello my wise Spectropoppers,
I've just won a single by this mysterious Mary Jane -
"Robot Man" b/w "The same as I do" on Philips (1963).
Even though I don't know the song, I just couldn't pass on
such an intriguing title!
Just wondered if anyone could tell me anything about her?
Unfortunately it's not the version with a picture sleeve..
.if anyone out there has the p/s, a scan would be fantastic!

Is this the same song as on my Smash 45?

The Sullivan appearance was lip-synced, so, quite likely yes.

Seconded. Anyone wanting to check the station out should
try http://www.kdav.com (because of a rather arbitrary decision
back in the 20s, radio stations west of the Mississippi River
start their call letters with K, not W except for a few grand-
fathered stations like Dallas' WFAA), but listening on the
computer just isn't the same as when I'm actually back home in
Lubbock, listening to the station while I'm heading down the
Topeka Highway to the strip of liquor stores just outside the
city limits. (Dry town, you know.) Lubbock has always had a
very strong local music scene, from Buddy in the '50s to Jimmie
Dale and the Flatlanders in the '70s to Terry Allen and the
Maines Brothers in the '80s. It's the combination of a really
good liberal arts college and the fact that there's really not
a lot else to do.
There are few things more endearingly cheesy than local radio and
late-night TV commercials, especially in a small market like Lubbock.

Hi Doc,
Any chance you could play a copy of this Smash 45 to musica
if it isn't available on cd?
Also if curious there's a wonderful all girl link here:

studio recordings including many unreleased!

Just received a review copy of Lee Mallory's "That's The
Way It's Gonna Be" from Rev-Ola/Cherry Red. The liner
notes at the bottom read: In Memoriam J. Page Porrazzo
aka Jamie LePage....(1953-2002).

A heads up to the Lee Mallory collectors in the group.
The Rev-Ola/Cherry Red release of "That's The Way It's
Gonna Be" includes six more tracks than the Dreamsville
release of the same name. The first fourteen tracks of
both releases are the same. This new release includes
the following:
15. All That I Am Is Me
16. Love At Last
17. No Other Love
18. Them Words
19. You've Got Me Movin'
20. I'm With You
More thoughts later after I get a chance to listen to all
of the disc.

Subject: The Montage
I've never heard I SHALL CALL HER MARY (unfortunately) but
I am very privileged to own a DJ copy of WAKE UP, JIMMY
which has to be one of the more bizarre recordings in my
collection thus far. Brown aka Lookofsky et al leave the
disaster that befalls the two brothers at the end entirely
up to your imagination, continuing in the Left Banke's
tradition of subtlety and poetic elegance. There's a
surname of Sommer involved too - suspect this ISN'T BERT
Sommer ("We're All Playing in the Same Band", died way
too young, appeared with Ronnie Dyson et al in HAIR on
Broadway), or is it? Answer my weary query.....enough
with the adjectives, gotta go and listen to the Montage
one more time!
