Hi Will,
Shel Talmy produced most of The (Blue) Orchids sides, (but
not the flip of their first 45, nor the 45 they later cut
as the Exceptions). He also produced "Mr Scrooge", which
was only issued on the soundtrack album of the "Just For
You" movie in which the girls sang it. The group was
brought to Talmy by their manager, Larry Page. In later
interviews, Talmy was dismissive about these records, and
offensive about the group. However, when I recently
contacted ex-Orchid Pam Jarman for the "Girls Scene" liner
notes, she said he was fine to work for, so I guess the
working relationship at the time was OK.

Dave...It was my pleasure..I found out about it from
Brother Cleve of Combustible Edison who played it at the
final "In Hi-Fi" night at NYC's Greenwich Village "Bar d'O"
recently. He had found out about it from the Fantastic
Plastic Machine while he too was in NYC recently.
Apparently its huge amont the soft poppers in Japan...

To Keith D'Arcy:
Your find on the Murmaids' "Song Through Perception" has
piqued my curiousity. I've always been a big fan of that
group and their lone chart single "Popsicles and Icicles".
I picked up their one Chattacoochee album in May 1981.
Played it until I wore out the grooves. In 1995 (ot
thereabouts) Collectibles reissued the album on compact
disc, with one bonus track "He's Good To Me". According to
the CD liner notes, the Murmaids issued a version of the
Traffic song "Paper Sun" on Liberty. It totally flopped.
Supposedly that version of the Murmaids were not the
original members. Obviously Liberty gave the group one
more shot with "Song Through Perception" and that single
met with the same fate as "Paper Sun". I would love to
hear those Liberty singles.

I wish I knew as much about Rimsky-Korsakov's oeuvre as I
do about Lesley Gore's!
There are so many examples of this kind of borrowing.
Obviously, there aren't financial considerations in the
case of most classical music cops. But I was wondering if
anyone had strong feellings about the ethical
considerations about not crediting the original composers.
And are there examples of where the original composer WAS
credited? If we can credit the original composer of "Sweet
Little Sixteen," why can't we credit the original composer
of "O Sole Mio?"
