Paul Haney tells us that all of the pre-orders for the new Record Research book spotlighting The Gavin Report have shipped ... and I can't wait to get my copy!
This is one that I talked to Joel Whitburn about for years ... SO glad to see it finally come to light. (And I know how long it took to finally track down copies of all of these charts ... essentially just a mailing list that radio programmers adopted as their guide when it came to adding new music to their playlists and measuring the potential of upcoming hit material.) You can still order your copy thru the Record Research website: https://www.recordresearch.com/(I still hope to see Bill Gavin's columns come to print some day!)
Speaking of Joel Whitburn, The Forgotten Hits 1st Annual Joel Whitburn Day is just around the corner. (November 29th)
We've got a few things planned (more details coming up) ... with a special trivia contest put together by Paul and Joel's daughter Kim, the winner of which will win a copy of the Record Research book of their choice ... meaning a copy of the new Gavin Report book ... or any OTHER book currently in print. (Again, check the website via the link above ... and then keep watching these pages for more information.)
In the meantime, we would LOVE to share more of your thoughts about what Joel's books (and Joel!) have meant to you over the past fifty years. Please send along your comments and memories and we'll run some of those on the 29th as well. (kk)
The limited edition (3000 copies) of the brand new Paul McCartney solo singles box set has already sold out. (Hmm ... 3000 copies @ $612 per set ... that's another $1.8 million that Macca just earned ... and Lord knows he needs the money!!! lol)
Still ... can you imagine what these will be selling for shortly ... and in the future ... on the collectors market??? (Might have been worth it just for that!) kk
And that incredible Howard Stern / Bruce Springsteen interview that we were telling you about a couple of weeks ago will soon be airing as an HBO television special. (Now THIS I've gotta see!)
The two hour special will premier on Sunday, November 27th, at 10 pm (eastern) and then be available for streaming on HBO Max.
And remember that this year's Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony also airs this weekend and then begins streaming as well. (Honestly, this sounds like one of the most interesting ceremonies in quite a while ... so I'll be checking THAT out, too!) kk
Hey Kent,
Just a memory of a
Dick Dale show I attended at the “CABOOZE MUSIC CLUB” (in Minneapolis) in the
summer of 2013.
The place was packed
with mostly younger music fans. My friend and I were part of a handful of age
appropriate fans who were around in the 60’s and 70’s. It was so nice to see that
his music was discovered by so many younger fans. The crowd was so very
appreciative of Dick’s guitar shredding.
Anyway after the show,
Dick was there for pictures, signings and plenty of music talk. As the place
was emptying out, a fan brought in a full size surfboard for Dick to autograph.
It was so cool. The “King of the Surf Guitar” was happy to autograph the board.
I will always remember that July night.

Here's
a nice pic of Dick Dale. Pam Pulice contacted me back in 2016, to mention that
Dale was playing at Durty Nellie's, so we met up out there. That guy could
shred a guitar like no other. And to be able to do it when his health
was as bad as it was ... unreal.

Although it never charted, one of Bobby Vee's
best and rockingest singles was his version of the Buddy Holly song "Well
All Right" from 1978 (mp3 attached).
– Randy Price
Sad to hear that Roberta Flack can no longer sing due to her
affliction to ALS (best known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease.) According to a press release, it is now “impossible
to sing and not easy to speak … but it will take a lot more than ALS to silence
this icon.” Sadly, the announcement comes just days before the release of
“Roberta,” which will premiere at DOCNYC on Nov. 17th. According to Billboard Magazine, “the
film explores the complexity of Flack’s lyrical and thematic choices as
well as the classical and soul influences that helped her develop her musical
style and subsequently inspired many others.”
Between 1971 and 1978, Roberta earned
eight National Top 40 Hits, including two MASSIVE #1 Hits, “The First Time Ever
I Saw Your Face” (1972) and “Killing Me Softly With His Song” (1973) She topped the charts for a third time in
1974 with “Feel Like Makin’ Love.” She
twice made The Top Five singing duets with Donny Hathaway, “Where Is The Love”
(#5, 1972) and “The Closer I Get To You” (#2, 1978) kk
Billboard also tells us that Arlo Guthrie
is coming out of retirement to do four shows with his wife … his first live
shows since suffering a series of strokes in 2019/2020.
After much discussion and consideration,
Arlo and his wife decided that he could recuperate much better in front of a
live audience, rather than just sit at home … and then they both agreed they
should get back out there as part of my rehabilitation.
Arlo’s biggest chart hit was his version
of the Steve Goodman song “City Of New Orleans” … but, of course, he’ll always
be best remembered for “Alice’s Restaurant” … and, with Thanksgiving just
around the corner, this seems like the PERFECT time for him to pull up a stool
and entertain an audience again. (kk)
Foreigner has announced their farewell
tour, kicking off next summer (with a trip around the world!) Leader and
founder Mick Jones said “Many years ago, I wrote a song called ‘Feels Like The
First Time’ and today we are launching one last worldwide tour. We will be
presenting a show that I know will have the same enthusiasm as our very first
appearances.”

AM i the only one out here that has grown COMPLETELY tired
of hearing Fleetwood Mac’s 1988 Hit “Everywhere” non-stop in that new Chevy
commercial???
I swear, it comes on every fifteen minutes or so! I have lost all affection for an otherwise
GREAT song that I used to LOVE to hear come on the radio every now and
then. (But every fifteen minutes is just
a little too much!!!)
Fleetwood Mac took their hit to #14 in early 1988 …
And the STRANGEST thing happened the other night …
In consecutive back-to-back commercials, they played Lindsay
Buckingham’s “Holiday Road” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Everywhere”!!! (I guarantee you the guy programming this had
absolutely NO idea what he was doing … it was just one of those curious
happenstances that made me smile … and actually enjoy hearing both songs again.)
Buckingham’s hit came from the National Lampoon Movie
“Vacation” and wasn’t much of a hit at all, peaking at only #82 in Billboard
Magazine in 1983 … but I have always loved this tune … ALL of Lindsay’s solo
hits, in fact. “Trouble” led things off
for the Fleetwood Mac guitarist, going to #9 in 1982 … and “Go Insane” became a
#23 hit for Lindsay in 1984. (kk)
By the way, Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” (#26), Bobby
“Boris” Picket’s “Monster Mash” (#47) and Ray Parker, Jr.’s “Ghostbusters”
(#49) all re-entered Billboard’s Top 50 last week in honor of Halloween
airplay, downloads and streaming. (I
guess that’s one cool thing about the way the charts are being calculated these
days … literally ANYTHING could pop up here again if it gets enough buzz!) kk

OK … so maybe Taylor Swift really IS bigger than The
Beatles!!!
She’s got the #1 Album … AND The Top Ten Singles …
And when tickets went on sale Tuesday for her upcoming Eras
Tour (Tuesday, as in the same day she was nominated for four Grammy Awards), so
many MILLIONS of fans tried to get online to buy them that the traffic actually
shut Ticketmaster down!!! The demand for
tickets was more than the service could handle … and this was just for the
PRESALE!!! (By the time tickets actually
go on sale to the general public, they’ll already be sold out! Taylor may have to add dates in every major
city just to accommodate the demand!) kk
And, speaking of The Beatles, here’s MORE Beatles news from
FH Correspondent Clark Besch …
Coming Dec 16
to Disney+, a doc on Abbey Road studios that looks enticing!

How about a 22 minute
fascinating video on the Butcher cover "Yesterday & Today" LP?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KzTMf4ssH0
For those who like
details. For instance, the paste-overs with number 3 on the back cover
(lower right) from Scranton are the easiest to peel because that plant used
water-based glue for the paste-over cover, while the west coast plants
(numbered 4, 5 and 6 on the back cover) used an alcohol-based glue. The
video also mentions that Dave Dexter had been taken off Beatles projects after
"Help!," but a Bill Miller constructed this final
Capitol makeshift LP.
My brother Roger bought Yesterday
& Today when it came out in 1966 and bought in Dodge City (I think) and
believe it or not, IT was a Butcher cover paste over! Made it to DODGE
CITY!! I believe the story was he found out about the paste idea when he
was in college a couple years later at Wichita State and he and his roommate
decided to unpeel the cover and SEE if there was a cover underneath. I
don’t think he ever thought about rarity or worth. No one did then.
Sure enough, they peeled it REALLY well and then had sense to put THAT peeled
cover on cardboard and keep it. One of the best I have ever dreamed of
seeing for peeling. Of course, when he brought it home on school break
(1970 I think), we couldn't believe it. We still did not know about being
able to tell if you HAD a butcher cover underneath until 80's when we heard
that you could see the Ringo V in paste overs. Sure enough, brother Steve
found one at a garage sale in Lincoln! He still has it and is still
unpeeled! Roger sold his copy to a friend of mine in Lincoln who still
owns it.

Now, I know
you usually focus your concert and show attendance to “name” groups, but I
wanted to share with you an experience we just had.
Friday
Night, Linda and I went to a Rock Show here in our town in a theater similar in
size to the Des Plaines Theater and saw a group I was not familiar with at all
called Leonid and Friends. We went on the recommendation of a locally based
Oldies Group, who we do know and really like.
I actually
did not know ahead of concert time exactly what to expect and this
two-hour-plus performance knocked me out from the first song to the last.
While they
do not bill themselves necessarily as a “Chicago Tribute Band,” they do acknowledge
that and, for me, are the best “tribute” band of any other group I’ve ever
heard! For me, it was like watching Chicago at their best along with just a few
other Big, Brassy Songs mixed in from Earth, Wind, & Fire, Blood,
Sweat & Tears, Tower of Power and The Ides of March, which
also sounded just as good playing their music! At times, I counted nine to
twelve musicians on stage at once.
Here's the
interesting part to me. All in the group are originally from Russia, Ukraine,
Moldova, and Belarus, and haven’t seen Chicago perform live, yet
“replicates Chicago’s arrangements amazingly note for note” while
performing their “unique ability to capture the spirit, musicality and fire
of the supergroup Chicago.”
And they
learned all the songs and styles only by listening to recordings and watching
videos! Amazing!
I can
recommend to you it’s a show well worth seeing. They’ve been touring the
world for the last seven years. If you ARE interested, they WILL be at the
Des Plaines Theatre in a couple of weeks, Thursday Dec 1, 2022.
Leonid and Friends Tickets
And that’s
what I have. I didn’t want to do a full review here. That’s
Shelly’s Department!
CB ( which
stands for “Chicagovich Boy!” )
We have been singing the praises of Leonid and Friends for
several years now ... despite never having actually seen them!!! (Check out some of their clips on YouTube …
simply amazing!)
They sell out every time they play here ... and the reviews
have been just phenomenal ... so you are not alone in your opinion.
Supposed to be uncanny ... and, being Russian, I believe
they learned a lot of these lyrics phonetically ... yet still pull off the
perfect tribute every time.

We won't make the
December 1st show either ... but they are DEFINITELY on our list of MUST
SEE Concerts. (kk)

wouldn’t mind seeing is Pink, who’ll be touring with Pat Benatar next

THE ROLLING STONES IN MONO -
|
(LIMITED COLOR EDITION) VINYL BOX SET TO BE
RELEASED BY ABKCO ON JANUARY 20th
6 LPs Encompassing All
1963 - 1969 Mono Recordings from “The World’s Greatest Rock and Roll
Band” Available In Colored Vinyl Set For First Time Ever
|

|
|
ABKCO Records is set to
release The Rolling Stones in Mono (Limited Color Edition)
vinyl box set in early 2023. Originally issued on black vinyl, CD and
digital in 2016, the updated version contains the entirety of the
Rolling Stones’ 1960s recorded output (186 tracks spread across 16
180-gram LPs), now presented in a plethora of vinyl colors – 14 total
– chosen to match the original cover art of classic albums such as Aftermath
and Beggars Banquet.

Spanning the era between
1963 and 1969, The Rolling Stones in Mono (Limited
Color Edition) covers the formative years of the legendary
London-based quintet, who were dubbed and acknowledged as “the
world’s greatest rock and roll band,” as they were churning out
era-defining hits such as “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Paint It,
Black,” “Ruby Tuesday” and “Honky Tonk Women.” Packaged as 15 separate albums, The
Rolling Stones In Mono contains key releases from the band’s U.S.
and U.K. discographies, organized to include every track from the era
while minimizing catalog redundancies. Stray Cats, a 2-LP
compilation exclusive within the vinyl box set, ties up all loose
ends, incorporating every 1960s Rolling Stones track that isn’t found
on the other 14 albums, for a total of 24 tracks. It includes two
versions of the aforementioned “Poison Ivy,” Barrett Strong’s 1959
hit “Money,” as well as “Fortune Teller.” Other rarities include “Con
Le Mie Lacrime,” a version of “As Tears Go By” sung in Italian,
“Stoned” (the instrumental b-side of “I Wanna Be Your Man”), and the
1965 outtake of Otis Redding’s “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long,” now
freed of the fake applause to disguise its studio origin when the
track appeared on the 1966 LP Got Live If You Want It.
During this period, most
rock and pop recordings were mixed in mono, with the stereo version
often an afterthought, and only dealt with following the completion
of the original (mono) version of a given track. In short, mono
reigned and this was, indeed, the case for the Rolling Stones at that
time. While typical playback systems of the ‘60s were less than
sophisticated, the original mono recordings, especially as heard
through quality components, were of the highest audio quality and had
a powerful and very direct impact. "You felt you were in the
room . . . listening to exactly what went down in the studio, no
frills, no nothing," Keith Richards wrote in his
autobiography, Life. "Rock was a completely new
musical form," Mick Jagger explained in a 1995 Rolling Stone
interview. "It hadn't been around for ten years when we started
doing it . . . You felt like one of the chosen few, one of the only
ones in the world who would get to play with this new toy. We had
evangelical fervor." Late recording engineer Dave Hassinger
explained how he mixed his ’64-’66 works for the Stones in mono.
"They always played together at the same time. They would run
the parts down, work out the changes here and there, nail it down,
then start recording."
Rolling Stone senior editor David
Fricke, in his 5,000-word essay that accompanies the set, writes, “The
Rolling Stones in Mono is the full studio account of that
first decade of history and mayhem, newly remastered with
unprecedented fidelity and revelatory detail.” His commentaries are
included with the box set as part of a 4-color deluxe 48-page
lie-flat book that features numerous rare photos by renowned
photographer Terry O’Neill. The 16 LPs are housed in the original
full color album jackets that fit along with the book into a one
piece specially crafted box.
The Rolling Stones in
Mono (Limited Color Edition) was mastered by GRAMMY®
award-winning engineer Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering. For the
project he utilized Direct Stream Digital (DSD) transfers from the
original master recordings, with a sampling rate of 2,822,400.
Lacquer cutting for vinyl was performed at Abbey Road Studios by Sean
Magee. The Rolling Stones in Mono (Limited Color
Edition) project has been overseen by Teri Landi, ABKCO’s
GRAMMY® award-winning Chief Audio Engineer.

And here’s another cool release you might be interested in
…
Deluxe Box Set LOST MASTERS & DEMOS
Features Unreleased Recordings From TODD RUNDGREN’s ‘60s Power-Pop Project
NAZZ!
Attention music collectors and Todd
Rundgren enthusiasts everywhere!
Purple Pyramid Records, a subsidiary
of Cleopatra Records Inc., is proud to announce the release of an extravagant
box set of long-lost studio recordings by the ‘60s power-pop/psych project that
brought Todd Rundgren his first taste of musical notoriety and, Nazz. These
tracks are taken directly from the original master acetates of the originally
conceived 1968 rough mix of Nazz's sophomore album Nazz Nazz. It was at
the sessions that Rundgren took his first turn behind the mixing board,
developing the production skills and techniques that made him the highly
acclaimed producer he is today!
Rundgren’s ambitious vision for the
second Nazz album actually encompassed 26 songs spread across 2 LPs. And
although the recordings were eventually scrapped and most of the songs reserved
for the band’s third album III, these early versions of the songs would
profoundly shape not just Nazz’s sound but the trajectory of Rundgren’s own
career. In addition, the other recently discovered acetates contain alternate
mixes of Nazz’s signature tune “Open My Eyes” as well as the future Rundgren
hit “Hello, It’s Me.”
Set for full release on December 2nd,
Lost Masters & Demos brings all of these rarities into one gorgeous
package, available as either a 3CD set or 4LP set, that includes a full-color
booklet with detailed liner notes from music historian Michael Armes as well as
an extensive interview with Nazz engineer and future engineer on Rundgren’s
first three solo albums PLUS tons of rare photos! Fans can get a small taste of
what’s in store with the single “Forget All About It,” which is being released
on all digital platforms prior to the box set’s full release.

R.I.P. Jim Bohannon, whose career took off
when he joined Chicago's WCFL in 1980. I
just heard that Jim has passed away. I heard Jim's late night show often
driving home from work in late night and found his interviews with all types of
guests to be very interesting. He would sometimes mention his days at WCFL as
well. He interviewed many music guests for an hour when you never knew
much about them otherwise.
Despite sometimes having political views that
did not mesh with many, he sometimes might be an acquired taste and could rub
you the wrong way, but unlike many, you still found the next interview fascinating.
At times, I hated the way he treated a host in glorification, but also at times
he was quite rude, IMO, to the guests. Same with callers. He loved
cutting off good callers and bad callers alike, IMO. You never knew when he
was gonna pull the rip chord on anyone. No matter what politics he spoke
of, he had a great voice and delivery and went way beyond politics on his
shows.

OK, now this
is especially cool!
Stephen
Bishop, who celebrated his 71st birthday earlier this week, has
posted a guitar tutorial showing interested guitar players exactly how to play
his biggest hit, “On And On.” (#5, 1977) [Well, maybe not EXACTLY … from his
announcement:
"This is a 95% accurate guitar tutorial of my song “On and On.”
There are a few chords here and there that will remain trade secrets."
He has enlisted the help of guitarist Travis Bowman to take
you thru the paces … and it’ll take you about 20 minutes to watch it (and then
likely countless hours to master it!) … but still, I thought this was an
especially cool idea …
Stephen’s birthday present to YOU. (kk)
