Jamie, re:
>>I've been talking with a friend about mono mixes lately, and with all the
posts about the stereo 19th Nervous Breakdown, I thought it might be
interesting to mention rare mono mixes that particularly differ from
their stereo counterparts. I remember a great find was a UK pressing of
the first Traffic album in mono. A completely different animal. One album
that I have never heard in mono is Axis: Bold As Love. I imagine that is
pretty unique, too.<<
Axis is very different, RU EXP is very different. The Who Sell Out not
only contains different mixes, but a few different takes! Surrealistic
Pillow and the 1st Buffalo Springfield LPs are completely wonderful in
mono (and truly awful in stereo). In the early days of stereo, it was not
uncommon to have jazz groups cut songs twice, once for stereo issues,
once for mono. A great example of this is Duke Ellington's Indigos (in
case any of you care...). Then there's Sgt. Pepper....

Mike, re:
>> I saw a Christmas cd when I was in a music store last night by Ronnie and
Eddie Money. Has anyone heard it and is it worth buying. Any comments
would be appreciated.<<
I don't know that one, but there's a version of Rockin' Around the Xmas
Tree w/ Darlene that's on "A Very Special Xmas Vol. 2". Also, I have an
amazing tape of Darlene, w/ Jimmy Vivino's big band (who played at my
wedding!), singing/playing stuff from the Spector Xmas LP, if anyone's
interested.

And let's not forget they also reissued Donovan's early Pye/Hickory
material last year.

Hi Jack,
They'll be bigger heroes after I tell you that they have yet two other
great reissues: a 2 CD set of The Ivy League and a 2CD set of Pinkerton's
Assorted Colours and the group they became, The Flying Machine (yes,
*that* one, of "Smile A Little Smile" fame). For those of you who don't
know these groups, The Ivy League were headed by the excellent
songwriting team of Carter/Lewis, and they wrote and performed the
original version of "My World Fell Down". The Ivy League sound falls
somewhere between the Beach Boys and The Four Seasons, with a decidedly
British slant.
Pinkerton's Assorted Colours is very Hollies-esque, which is emphasized
by their cover of "Hard Hard Year" (previously unreleased). The Flying
Machine is more in that Tony MacAuley vein, no surprise given he co-wrote
a lot of their songs.
These comps are definitely worth the price of admission!

Spectropop Rules!!!!!
Take Care,
David

Sequel Records is a label under Castle Communications Group. I believe
Castle is something like a British version of K-Tel-meets-Rhino reissue
operation.
Two past Sequel releases have become great favorites: "The Joe Meek Story
- The Pye Years" and "304 Holloway Road - Joe Meek - The Pye Years Volume
Two." Sequel also released a few other Meek titles, but these two are the
best. From Glenda Collins to the Riot Squad, these volumes give a nice
overview of Meek's later productions.

Hey Brad,
Darian here, I'm sure we've crossed paths somewhere in our
respective 6 degrees of seperation (Domenic, Bob, David, etc). In case I
never told you, I've always been a fan of your output (for a couple a
years there the "Surf's Up" book may as well've been put out by Webster
or Gideon for me). At any rate, being the huge Ronettes fan as well, you
could imagine my near-death (good) experience when I found out that my
girlfriend Lisa (who's Ronnie-esque singing voice was what attracted me
to her in the first place) was a member of a girl-group in New York
called the Pussywillows who just happened to sing back-up vocals on those
Ronnie Spector demos. Well, after a year of my constant nagging, she
finally gave Alan Betrock a call and yes. . .he FINALLY sent us a copy.
You may e-mail me for details.
Thanks,
Darian (monsaXXX@XXXXXXink.net)

Hi all,
First up, knowing of all the 'Zombies' fans on the list - Run, don't
walk to get the new box set - it's FANTASTIC!!!. Second, I was wondering
if anyone has ( or has heard ) the late 70's re-recordings ( not 'New
World'!! ), that were done for the Canadian 'Cruisin'' series. They
featured the original line-up ( w/ Tim Renwick on guitar ). These are the
elusive missing links to my Zombies collection, and I was wondering what
they sounded like ?.
