Sue Thompson - Suzie: The Hickory Anthology 1961-1965
he big US hits and in-demand cuts from 60s pop'n'country chart maker Suzie, here for the first time on UK CD

By MICK PATRICK

To the fans of Sue Thompson, who scored a Top 3 hit in 1961 with the unforgettable 'Norman', she was a pop princess with a baby doll voice. Little did they realise that she had, in fact, been in the business ever since winning a beauty pageant in the late 1940s, and had three failed marriages behind her. A woman of the world with hidden depths, later in the 60s she would travel to Vietnam to entertain the troops, an experience that triggered a nascent spiritual awakening. Sue went on to study metaphysics and became a Buddhist. But I digress.

It's in beauty pageant-style reverse order that your scribe would like to announce Sue's winners, if he may. Indeed, there could be many like him for whom the closing quartet of cuts on "SUZIE: THE HICKORY ANTHOLOGY, 1961-1965" will be manna from heaven. It was legendary Nashville songwriter John D Loudermilk who Sue had to thank for Paper Tiger, the stomping, harmonica-driven chunk of feminist-lite pop candy that updated her image and revitalised her recording career early in 1965. She stuck with that new sound for another year but It's Break-Up Time, the Supremes-style Sweet Hunk Of Misery and Walkin' My Baby, a pounder written by Dean & Mark Mathis of Hickory labelmates the Newbeats, all failed to chart. Go figure.

In 1961, it had been another Loudermilk number, the adorable Sad Movies (Make Me Cry), that not only established Sue Thompson as a chart star, but also provided the long-awaited breakthrough hit for Wesley Rose's Hickory label, an offshoot of the Acuff-Rose music publishing empire. The great John D was also responsible for the aforementioned Norman, plus 1962's James (Hold The Ladder Steady) and four others on this collection. His clever It's Twelve Thirty-Five was hit single material, surely? Apparently not.

Talking of legendary songwriters, Sue had debuted for Hickory with the delicious Brenda Lee-alike Angel, Angel, one of many compositions supplied to her by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. Check out their True Confession for an overlooked girl pop gem, if I ever heard one. And heck, even Sue's friend Roy Orbison wrote some songs for her too, like our title track Suzie. Don't overlook Sue's album-only cuts either, like her fine renditions of the Velvets' Tonight (Could Be The Night) and Jill Corey's Love Me To Pieces, both from the "Meet Sue Thompson" LP, and Sob Sister, another Loudermilk creation, from her "Two Of A Kind" platter, to name just three. In the years following the recordings contained on "SUZIE", Sue Thompson turned her attention to country music and made a 1970s chart comeback in that arena. But that's another story...

VA: - Pet Projects: The Brian Wilson Productions
t's the mid-1960s and the Beach Boys are hotter than a pistol. Brian Wilson's genius can't be contained by his own group and soon he's busy producing other acts on the side. This CD contains his classic outside productions taken directly from the original masters, together with a full-colour 20-page booklet action-packed with rare photos and a detailed essay.

>By Gary Bax ('The Armchair Surfer')

When Ace asked me to tell you about their new BRIAN WILSON: PET PROJECTS CD, I thought I'd go in search of some background colour in order to gain a livelier understanding of the whole surfing genre. A trip to California was out of the question. Ace's budget wouldn't stretch that far. Instead, I was given Truro on the Cornish Riviera as a more feasible option. "You'll love it there," I was assured, "it'll be virtual reality - the perfect place for re-living the 'California Myth' that Brian wrote and sang about all those years ago." Humm.

Ace's 'mother hen' and doughty production manager, Carol Fawcett, made me a nice packed lunch (neatly crammed into a Tupperware container) and a flask of coffee and off I went. It only took a couple of hours by train. En route, I discovered that Carol had even slipped a couple of Wagon Wheels into the top pocket of my anorak. Yummy!

Well, like old Tom Jones in the Green Green Grass Of Home, I stepped off the train but, unlike Tom, there was no-one there to meet me and I was left to make my own way down to the shore. It didn't seem at all like Huntingdon Beach. Or Waimea Bay or Pomona. Or any of the other places you heard about in those old surfing songs. I'd read about the new breed of young British surfers who seemingly flocked to these shores to 'catch a wave' but on a cold January morning, all I could see was an elderly couple walking an arthritic beagle along the deserted beach. And where was Candy Johnson or any of those other interchangeable blonde babes seen shimmying in the sand in all those Beach Party movies? My only companion was a seagull the size of an albatross making a beady-eyed play for the last of my corned beef sandwiches. By now, I was beginning to wish I'd stayed at home with a cold beer and my newly arrived copy of PET PROJECTS on the player. After all, Brian never went anywhere near a surf board except in the publicity shots.

A few hours later I was salivating over the cover, which has the exact period look of one of those Capitol label Surfing/Hot Rod LPs from the mid-60s. However, as the shrink-wrap on Ace's CDs doesn't come with a peelable strip, it can take as long as five minutes to get at the contents. You can pick at the cellophane with your teeth, scratch at it, or try and to tease it apart by massaging it 'Uri Geller-style' with your thumbs. An Ace spokesperson told me "... this is a not unintentional manufacturing implementation designed to heighten to the last minute, the sense of anticipation that accompanies every new release". Blimey, talk about gimmicks! But I know what they mean - it's like opening a batch of Christmas presents once a month. And, unlike some presents, PET PROJECTS is one CD that everyone would wish to own.

Once he began to receive recognition within the industry as the inspirational force behind the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson sought wider acceptance for his talent and was soon busy producing other acts on the side. He was particularly influenced by Phil Spector who was hitting his stride with studio-contrived mega-hits such as Da Doo Ron Ron and Be My Baby. PET PROJECTS concentrates exclusively on these extra-curricular songs and productions.

In the spring of 1963, Brain persuaded Capitol to sign the Honeys as part of a marketing strategy aimed at exploiting the burgeoning Surf-Hot Rod craze, which the Beach Boys had kicked off single-handedly. Most of the singles Brian cut with the trio over the next decade as well as a couple of later sides by two of the girls (as American Spring) can be heard here.

Brian also produced two exquisite 45s by Sharon Marie (purportedly Mike Love's then current flame) including Thinkin' About You Baby, which, with amended lyrics and a new title, Darlin', became a hit for the Beach Boys four years later. Sharon Marie vanished from the radar and it's likely that her two Capitol 45s were a pleasant diversion for a young life that found fulfilment elsewhere.

Other highlights include the legendary Pamela Jean by the Survivors, a one-off featuring Brian and three of his (non-Beach Boy) buddies in the Dion & The Belmonts mode. It slipped onto the market around the time the Beatles broke through in the States with I Want To Hold Your Hand and was almost immediately overtaken by events.

There's also Glen Campbell's beauteous Guess I'm Dumb and both sides of Gary Usher's solo vocal 45, Sacramento c/w That's The Way I Feel, which is as infectious as it is rare. Then there is the legendary Rachel & The Revolvers rarity, The Revo-Lution c/w Number One, co-produced by Usher and Brian in August 1962, about the time the Beach Boys first made the US Top 20 with Surfin' Safari. Brian and Gary paid a black vocalist named Betty Willis a set fee to lay down the vocal posing as 'Rachel'.

Individually, these records go for a fortune on the collector's market on the rare occasions they turn up. Collectively, they're priceless. A copy of a long-deleted Japanese CD modelled along similar lines recently fetched $237 on E-Bay. PET PROJECTS will cost you a fraction of that and it's state of the art. Every title is taken from the original masters and has a colourful 20 page booklet action-packed with rare photos and an engrossing essay by Rob Finnis. Though they weren't hits and make a stark counterpoint to the world beating triumphs of the Beach Boys, the songs on PET PROJECTS bear the unmistakable mark of Brian Wilson - pop genius.

VA: - Phil's Spectre - A Wall Of Soundalikes
Phil Spector's vision rose far above anhimself as the sole occupant of a parallel recording universe where his was the only way, and everyone else was nowhere. This, to a large degree, was what made him 'different' and 'difficult' in equal measure.

beyond that of any of his contemporaries. In fact, Spector saw One only has to hear the absorbing out-takes from some of his Philles sessions to gain an insight into the man. Hovering authoritatively in the control room at the fabled Gold Star studios, he is by turns, cocky, amusing and skittish depending on the mood of the moment. Above all, he is endlessly patient. As take after take is aborted (over 30 on Be My Baby) and the massed musicians, numbed by repetition, are audibly beginning to wilt, Spector acts as a calming presence, nonchalantly easing them into one take after another, as though their interests, as much as his, were at stake.

It took a unique man to create such historic sounds and, given his commercial success, he was bound to attract imitators.

Sundry producers, artists, songwriters and arrangers attempted to hitch a ride on the Spector bandwagon in the period spanning, roughly, 1963-1967. Some of them came tantalisingly close to getting it right, most notably those who had actually worked alongside Spector such as Sonny Bono, Nino Tempo, Jack Nitzsche and the Righteous Brothers, all of whose work is amply represented here. Others were too conventional in their approach to get it right.

Ace are justifiably proud of this release which brings together 24 of the finest mirror images of the Spector Sound. Assembled with artful deliberation by Mick Patrick and Tony Rounce, Phil'S Spectre reflects the variation in tone, colour and density that characterised Spector's own work. (Not all of Spector's productions were quite as blockish as posterity will have you believe. Take I Love How You Love Me by the Paris Sisters or Walking In The Rain by the Ronettes. These are records as subtle as you are likely to hear.)

A few tracks alone warrant the purchase of this CD. Carol Connors' My Baby Looks (But He Don't Touch) features the lady who sang lead on the Teddy Bears' To Know Him Is To Love Him being produced by another ex-Teddy Bear, Marshall Leib.

Leib also produced Alder Ray's A Little Love (Will Go A Long Way), arguably the most accurate Spector facsimile of them all. Leib once claimed he knew better than most Spector's thought processes in the studio and, on this evidence, he may have a case.

Then there's Yes Sir That's My Baby by Hale & The Hushabyes, a legendary studio concoction masterminded by Jack Nitzsche that features Edna Wright (aka Sandy Wynns) singing lead, with the Blossoms, Sonny & Cher, Jackie DeShannon and Brian Wilson, among others, buried in the massed chorus.

Carol King and Gerry Goffin wrote I Can't Make It Alone with the Righteous Brothers in mind but P J Proby got to cut it first. I subscribe to Nick Cohn's view that Proby ranks among the finest pop vocalists of the rock era. This majestic 45 was cut in LA after Proby had temporarily returned to America in 1966 following a spate of bad publicity in the UK. Jack Nitzsche's spectacular production reflects the Righteous Brothers' influence and Proby's vocal does it justice. This is the first time the 45 single version (on which Proby duets with himself) has been released on CD.

Even mighty Motown was not averse to casting a nod in Spector's direction - step forward the Supremes! As Mick Patrick tell us, their Spector-ish Run, Run, Run (a Holland, Dozier, Holland song), was recorded in May 1963, a time when Motown had yet to establish a definitive 'sound' of its own and occasionally looked to rivals such as Spector or the Cameo label as a source of inspiration. Holland, Dozier, Holland also penned Too Hurt To Cry, Too Much In Love To Say Goodbye, by the Darnells, a Motown one-off from 1963 featuring Gladys Horton of the Marvelettes moonlighting as lead vocalist. The set closes with Please Phil Spector, a fun item with an odd little history of its own. Written and sung as a throwaway by New Yorker Mike Lendell, it was licensed to a small US label as the intended B-side of Washington Square, a Lendell production the company never got around to actually issuing. However, somehow, in 1967, the record surfaced in the UK on the Phillips label credited to a non-existent band, the Attack (unconnected with the British band of the same name). Even Lendell himself was unaware, until recently, that his aborted US 45 had made it to the UK.

The booklet, as glossy and colourful as a fashion supplement only more absorbing, contains the full low-down on each title together with matching illustrations. We should mention this fond and glorious homage to the great producer was in Ace's pipeline long before Uncle Phil's tribulations reverberated around the world.

Yma Sumac - Voice Of Xtabay
A legendary performer with an amazing four-octave range, Yma Sumac was said to be an Incan princess, and one of the Golden Sun Virgins. Her offbeat stylings made her a phenomenon in early '50s pop music, and the perfect and inevitable punchline to Terry-Thomas' famous DJ sketch! A major star of Broadway and Hollywood, her music veered from Les Baxters interpretations of the native music of Peru, through neo-classical to Mambo.... While her album covers took full advantage of her strange, wild and exotic costumes and voluptuous figure, rumours abounded that she was, in actuality, a New York housewife named Amy Camus (in itself rather an unlikely name for a New York housewife!). It really mattered little, since there has been no one like her before or since in the annals of popular music. When you play this album, prepare for a hot, exotic musical experience – a voyage of discovery into a new land of sound. For you have never in your life heard anyone sing like Yma Sumac. This album is a Revola classic and was one of the first releases on the original label! Yma Sumac is probably *the* major singer in the Exotica genre and this release was produced by Exotica-meister Les Baxter and leading modern South American composer Moises Vivanco. *A must for all fans of Exotica, World Music, and the unusual uses of the human voice!
