Phil, this is such a great 45, part of the innocent first
days of "folk-rock" before things got so heavy and so
clever. A lovely understated song with one of those
taking-you-completely-by-surprise sudden changes to a
minor key, that Jackie DeShannon had developed with Jimmy
Page.
Yes, the b-side "Every little prayer" (written by Ed
Fournier - a familiar name that I can't quite place) is
out of the same mould. The 45 (Vault 924) was produced by
Richard Delvy (who can tell us anything about him?) and
engineered by Larry Levine.
I also own a mono / stereo promo copy of Vault 973, also
by the Ashes, a cover of Paul Simon's Homeward Bound. A
"Wenesday's Child Production", it's nothing special.

Bill,
The answer to your question is "no," but you are asking a
most appropriate question. You must be the only person I
have ever come acrosss this side of the 60's that actually
knows, or remembers, the "Tomorrow" group that featured
Olivia Newton John managed and produced by one of the
"Shadows" (who was also in a relationship with Olivia - if
I am not mistaken, they were even married for a brief time).
A kudo for you! The "Tomorrow" group I was involved with,
however was from a totally different musical ilk -
psychedelic Rock.
Anyway, thanks for the mail and question.
Best,
Mark (Wirtz)

Subject: Re: "toy-town"
> Please elaborate on this "toy-town" sub genre.
I'm not sure that the name was meant the be complimentary
at all. But it seems have been coined to describe some of
the British pop that was being released from about
1967-1968. Compilers like Phil Smee and others discovered
(or rediscovered) a whole vein catchy pop songs and I
guess someone put a name to it... as usually happens....
The best way to describe it is the following: bouncy beat,
extremely catchy melody (certainly strong hooks required
in the chorus), storybook lyrics (or an everyday kind of
lyric i.e. Penny Lane), and a many times a piano based
production (decending bass lines are a plus) though a
piano is not required. In it's strictest form I suppose
the storybook lyrics are what makes these songs toy-town.
Children singining in the chorus (i.e. "Excerpt From A
Teenage Opera") adds to the toy-town flavor but is not
required. Toy-town has a close link to bubblegum but
usually the melodies and production are more complicated.
and I don't think that most toy-town songs were targeting
kids as the audience.
Of course Alice in Wonderland featured very strongly in
British pop during the late 60s... probably contributing
to the abundance of similar themes.
I will play a song to musica called "Toyland" by The Alan
Bown... probably the purest example of British toy-town.

Many moons ago Country Paul related information on his
chat with Don Drowty:-
> Don also did a 1962 single on Philips with Dean Torrance
> as the "Emerald City Ramblers" called "Full Blown Caddy."
I found this snippet of info one of the reasons I so love
Spectropop, maybe I've missed it but I'd never heard of
Dean singing on this record. I did wonder how it sounded.
The answer is pretty damned good!
Actual credits are The Emerald City Bandits "Full Blown
Caddy" wr. Don Drowty/"Come On Oz" Philips 40197 '64-a
typical (not many things in life more fun than a 'typical'
Beach Boys, Gary Usher, Jan & Dean styled) Hot Rod rocker,
revving engines, screeching tyres, crunching guitars,
honking sax, "aaah's" and "wind em up, wind em" up vocal
refrains. Good? Well it's made me want to jump into my
souped up Morris Minor van and go for a burn-up!!
Can't brag I've got the 45, it's on one of the better
'unofficial' releases (you know the sort, good quality
recordings, sleeve notes and credits. Put together by folk
who don't just seem to be after a quick buck.) "Wail On
The Beach..16 Hot Rod & Surf Sizzlers" Satan LP 1004. I
also have the later CD release, which featured another
LP's tracks. Can I Find it? Nope!
Can I hear Dean singing on it? Nope, but then I can't hear
Dean singing on Jan & Dean's records either! I'll leave
that to the 'voice experts' to decide.

Going back to 1962, Randy penned a real nice ballad
recorded by the Fleetwoods, "They Tell Me Its Summer". It
appeared as the flipside of their top 40 hit, "Lovers By
Night, Strangers By Day". It's up on musica for a few days

to any summer tape/CD compilations that you may be putting

Subject: Hedy Sontag - He Never Came Back
I first heard this song on an 80s girl group compilation
album called simply "Gems". That album was a bare bones
affair with no information other than the song titles and
the artists. The cover featured a girl in a "mod" leather
jacket. Finally locating a copy of the 45, which I
[played] at musica, I note some awesome credentials. The
writers are Bob Crewe, Eddie Rambeau and Bud Rehak. Bob
Crewe did the production and Charlie Calello the
arrangement. It doesn't come much bluer chip than that. It
was released on US Philips in early '64, but has not yet
made it to CD. I was disappointed it wasn't included in
the Growin' Up Too Fast double CD, when Dusty and the
Secrets (both US Philips acts) were. You get to hear it in
all its scratchy vinyl glory. Check out the honking sax.
But who was Hedy Sontag?

If this is Bruce Welch you are talking about (I believe it
is) they were engaged. She broke it off, so the story goes.
Welch was also one third of the excellent, post- Shadows,
harmony pop group called Marvin, Welch and Farrar. The
three of them released some excellent songs and should
have been hit makers in their own right. Of course Marvin
being Hank Marvin.

Subject: Jerry Ross/Shocking Blue/Abba
I bought the Jerry Ross Synposium Sequel CD on a whim a
couple years ago, and enjoy just about every track. I
didn't know Ross was behind the Dutch pop-rock chart
explosion of the early 70s, but it's interesting to
consider how important Shocking Blue may have been to Kurt
Cobain's early musical development. Early on Nirvana
covered SB's otherwise obscure "Love Buzz" from an LP Kurt
apparently owned and admired. Something set the guy apart
>from his grunge/punk contemporaries--he sure didn't get
his world-class hook sensibility from hanging out with the
Melvins!
I haven't seen any of the campy movies or the Broadway
show that have helped revive the popularity of Abba's
music, but I did go see the group's own The Movie when it
played at midnight here in Chicago, and I came back from
it convinced that, while probably not nearly as important
in a cultural/historical dimension, Abba didn't fall much
short of the Beatles (or anybody else), qualitatively or
quantitatively, at delivering wonderfully written,
produced and sung 3-minute songs, the primary medium for
Spectropop.

Undoubtedly the omission of Jack from the Hall of Fame is
unexplainable and an omission that should be rectified if
the Hall of Fame is to be an honest listing of the Greats
of Rock & Roll. When an artist who first recorded in 1957,
(ABC Paramount) is still recording in the 90's (Curb
Records), then without doubt justice demands that he be
recognised for the years (decades) of pleasure he has
provided fans of solid, basic, Rock and Roll, and even
Country. While his chart years were (ouch) approximately
40 years ago, he sounds better today than when in his
heyday .. take a listen to his version of Running Scared
on Curb .. dare I say it? .. yep, it is superior to Roy
Orbison's hit.
Jack is not forgotten by rock and roll fans, only by the
Hall of Fame...

Yes, it is indeed Bruce Welch to whom I referred. By the
way, wasn't Don Kirschner the "impresario" behind this
particular "Tomorrow" group? Believe it, or not, I never
heard any of their recordings, and I'm curious - were
they any good?
While Marvin, Welch and Farrar were indeed a darn good
harmony group, Bruce Welch ultimately made his
non-Shadows mark as the producer of some really cool
Cliff Richard recordings (one of which ALMOST broke Cliff
in the US - can't remember the title though).
RE ABBA - I am absolutely puzzled by this whole back and
forth dialogue about ABBA... were they vapid and
meaningless, or profound? To begin with, were THEIR early
simplistic, catchy tunes and recordings really THAT less
"substantial" than the Beatles' early hits? I mean, "She
Loves You, Yeah, Yeah," or "Waterloo," - come on, get
real - it's just POP MUSIC. POP standing for popular. And
on that note, considering ABBA's global POPularity, and
in the spirit of "you can't argue with success," arguing
the profundity of their music is about as futile as
arguing the profundity of chocolate, or Walt Disney. Sure,
some hate both, some get nauseated by their mere mention,
BUT - they have both made far too many people happy to
argue their validity. All that notwithstanding, can any
true, discerning pop music aficionado possibly not be
captivated by ABBA's later albums like, "Super Trouper"
and "The Visitors"? The material is most creative, the
vocal renditions superb, the musicianship outstanding,
the arrangements inventive and embracing, the production
and engineering nothing less than awesome.
Regardless in which medium, do you know what makes a
"Star," more than talent, skill, or uniqueness (talent,
per se, is NOT what makes success, it merely sustains it
after the fact)? One word - CHARM. Don't believe me?
Check it out. Every "Star" in history radiated/radiates
that very seductive element. And, God knows, ABBA as
performers, as well as their music (not unlike the
Beatles), blazed with charm.

Dean Torrance DID sing on (almost?) all of J&D recordings,
usually falsetto. That's him doing the lead on "Linda" and
the Two Girls For Every Boy line on "Surf City". I saw
them in concert 4 years ago and he can still hit 'em.
About the only J&D song I can think of that had neither J
or D singing on (besides those cool instrumentals and a
couple of Jan solos) was the LP track "Move Out Little
Mustang" which is Sloan- Barri and was released as a 45 on
Imperial as "The Rally Packs". How It wound up on a J&D
album the same way is a mystery.

This song was obviously influenced by Excerpt From a
Teenage Opera. The band was the same Clover that had Huey
Lewis (of the News) in it. They went on to back up Elvis
Costello on his first album and early recordings.
Ice Cream Man is quite fun but a little twisted too. It's
supposed to be about a man selling ice cream but it is
clearly not a ice cream he is selling. The children's
chorus is the main connection to EFATO.

Agree with Mark's whole thought (only part of which I've
quoted here). Abba were a great group. Not sure if it
matters what your sensibilities are. You have to forget
the image they became. If they only ever put out the song
SOS they'd have done their share for pop music. As it is
they release plenty of substantial and extremely tuneful
songs.
