Browsing thru old messages on the list, I realise that Bob Gallo has been brought up before, and it seems like not much is known about him. He did own the...
I just can't seem to find any info on Don(ald) Thomas. He was a guitar player and is to be heard on sessions in New York in the mid-sixties. But also with The...
Mick Patrick wrote May 12 2003 about a new release including Bert Berns' British productions. Whatever happened to that? Has it been released or will it be?...

... Last time I was living in NYC, I worked with Jeff Blankensop who had been doing Felix's bit for Gene & Dino. If it's him still in the fold, he's a great...
Thanks - my 45 has pen scribbles on it, making it hard to see who wrote it. I found it stuck between two albums in a rack of LP's. How it wound up in Wichita...
Hi there. I've been getting a lot recently into the music of the legendary french singer Claude Francois (pronounced "clod fronswah"), national hero and...
... That "5+10=15" Lp was on some Fido label (or something like that). What was wild about that, is that you get "If I Loved You" with either Chad or Jeremy...

... Norm, I found this to be quite a cool piece. At least the first 15 minutes and Al Kooper's comments. The beginning of the earliest incarnation of "Like a...

Hi all, Billy hit paydirt at the thrift store recently with the Eighth Day promo for cheap (nice price for a record full of Dante and Artie Butler), and I am...
... Yes, that and more. Re: Mike Tomasetti: As Jim has already mentioned, Tomasetti went on to sing with the Neighborhood, which had the hit on "Big Yellow...
Thanks Tom for the Claude link, nice track. I've got a greatest hits package of his, my favourites being the camp disco tracks 'Alexandrie, Alexandra',...

The Allman Joys was but one of the many evolutions of the Allman Brothers before they achieved their fame. Wouldn't I kill for the Hour Glass collection! ...
Thanks to Joe Nelson for playing Gary Criss's "Little Joe" to musica. Excellent "Brill Building" style recording. Nice one Al. Did you originally have this...
... Joe, It would be cool to hear the Epic Splendor in stereo if tapes exist. "A Little Rain Must Fall" certainly made Boss Radio KHJ's top 30 and that was no...
James Holvay mentioned The Neighborhood and their hit cover of "Big Yellow Taxi". Are they the same group who recorded the great Four Seasons sounding 45 "Why...
