According to the liner notes Shannon did a session with Andrew Oldham and Immediate Record artists Twice As Much & Billy Nicholls both contributed songs. The LP wasn't released until 1978 "And The Music Plays On" (Sunset 50412) Shannon's version are great by the way. "I read a bit in this month's MOJO about Del Shannon recording an lp in 1967 in London with Billy Nichols, Steve Marriott and other such musicians on it.. the article called the lp "a big brother to Billy Nichols' "Would You Believe". As a fan of "Would You Believe," I'm wondering what this Shannon record is like... all I know of him is "Runaway".. and Del going British pop-psych seems like an odd marriage" ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2001 17:01:37 EST From: TheJewws@aol.com Subject: Re: garageshock in austin In a message dated 1/30/01 9:44:21 AM Central Standard Time, jemery@pstrategies.com writes: > there are local bands playing. sugarshack, monkeywrench and i think another > one of tim's projects as well. > > joe > true, and don't forget the guilloteens. there was also a band called Spot on the list and it said they, or is it he, was from Austin. is this the same Spot that recorded the Big Boys and Black Flag and such about 20 years ago or is this something else?

What did musicians do in the past, to celebrate that? On January 31, in 1956, Elvis Presley recorded "I'm gonna sit right down and cry (over you)" and "Tutti frutti" at New York's RCA Studios; 1957, Chuck Willis recorded "CC rider", in New York; 1966, the Beach Boys recorded "Caroline no" at Los Angeles' Western Studios; 1969, the Beatles recorded "Let it be" and "The long and winding road" at London's Apple Studios; 1969, the Sandpebbles recorded "The garden of Eden" at New York's Bell Sound Studios; 1979, Joy Division recorded a BBC Peel session, playing "Exercise one", "Insight", "She's lost control" and "Transmission"; 1989, the Dream Syndicate played a gig at Raji's in Los Angeles. 75 minutes of this gig are to be found on their cd "Live at Raji's". That's it, happy birthday!

I knew Del thru his manager, Dan Bourgoise, who worked with me at United Artists in 1973 before I left to start Bomp Records, and he left to start Bug Music, now one of the biggest indie music publishers. Dan and Del were old friends from Michigan. Bug has since reissued, or arranged for the reissue of, most of Del's material. The UK album, entitled "Home and Away" was recorded for Immediate and never issued. It's really great stuff. My favorite track is, for me, the best of the many versions of "Life is But Nothing". I have the album on an acetate somewhere, haven't heard it in years. Dan tells me he's been speaking recently to Andrew about releasing it, hopefully soon. (Actually I have some dim recollection of the album, or parts of it, being released on vinyl at some point in the 70s or 80s... I'm probably wrong tho. I usually am, when I rely on memory!) Del was also very close with Jeff Lynne (probably thru the UA connection again; part of my job there was doing the press and advertising for the Move/early ELO records), and Del was to have been in the Travelling Wilburys, just about the time he died I believe.
