I fixed up all of today's singles and the Grapefruit hour is better than I could do fourteen years ago - so much more music is available.

The singles sounding good - this is a cut above my original recorded in a laundry room edition.

So glad we get to revisit these early shows with you. I missed the early episodes the first time around.

Lone 45 by The Devil's Brigade. Sounds like Hal Blaine on drums.

For sure... that pattern is owned by HB

Ray Pohlman as arranger kinda tells you it was likely Hal. But I have heard Jim Gordon pull off the Hal sound.

The Wilder Brothers owned a studio on Santa Monica Blvd. - near the Rhino Store - they did tape transfers. I guess Soft Pop only paid so many bills.

cometothesunshine:

Me too, Matt - not sure why they remixed for the album.
Avatar 6:24pm
johnyoung1234:

I has never heard "Sister Marie" until I bought "Where the Action Is". That box set turned me on to so many great songs. Still one of my favorite box sets ever.
  6:24pm
Jason Brewer:

This is an incredible set Andrew!
Avatar 6:25pm

Thanks, JY & Jason. I got a lot of ideas for that bix set from these early shows.

I shall be listening via mobile for the rest of the show but thank you for the blood sweat & tears in a totally non-David Clayton-Thomas way

I was always hoping there would be a "Vol. 2" of "Where the Action Is" since I've heard so many great songs on your shows since then.

(Which is to say of all-time, since that’s pretty much all of the music I love)

I should have mentioned George Tipton as the arranger of "Sister Marie" - but he is always in my mind.

So the hyperbaric chamber that pumps in nonstop John's Children that Orange Peel always has a lie-down in is not for show?
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:56pm

Same for me, re Action, Gaylord!
  6:57pm

Produced by Norman Smith, like early Pink Floyd
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:58pm
Gaylord Fields:

Andrew, I saw an original copy of "I'll Keep Holding On" at Disc Union in Tokyo six years ago that was almost but not quite affordable. I'll settle for my Edsel 45, remixed or whatever.

Norman who called himself "Hurricane," and who John Lennon called "Normal" had an interesting, quirky career as a performer.

Matt & Gaylord - I saw the Action at the 100 Club, one of the best shows of my entire life!

Matt, they happened at the height of my involuntary poverty, or else I would have flown there for sure.

Wow Andrew!! That's so great you got to catch that!
  7:03pm

I first heard of Grapefruit because an ex-coworker of mine in Texas bought it around 2002, then gave me a copy because he told me I had to hear it. This was way before I had heard of Come to the Sunshine :)

@Candy-O: I bought the Edsel reissue when it came out 40 years (!) ago, but even that'll set you back about $30.

Matt Clarke:

Did Terry Melcher produce the entire LP, Andrew?
Avatar 7:07pm
cometothesunshine:

Matt - no, but he did mix the album in LA. It was mixed by the guy who did McCartney's Ram! Some of the 45 mixes are better, so I subbed them in today.

Matt Clarke:

Wow cool!
Avatar 7:09pm
cometothesunshine:

The US 45 of Elevator/Yes - are different mixes than the UK 45

cometothesunshine:

Paul McCartney said they were big-headed to issue this as a double A-side. Radio did not play it.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:10pm
Matt Clarke:

Did they Terry Melcher connection come through Derek Taylor? I wonder?
Avatar 7:11pm
cometothesunshine:

No, they wanted to do an Apple publishing deal for the States and thought Melcher was the best person. In return, he produced Grapefruit.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:11pm
Matt Clarke:

Got it. Thanks for the info. Love hearing these mixes.
Avatar 7:12pm

But then they did a lot of self-production without him. And Derek Lawrence produced this, their third 45.

Candy-O'67:

@Gaylord - wow! Yeah, I've noticed a lot of reissues are even expensive now
Avatar 7:15pm
cometothesunshine:

John Lennon had an acetate of this in his collection and Yoko thought he wrote the song, so she copyrighted it in the 1980's.
Avatar 7:16pm
cometothesunshine:

Quite a compliment. Lennon/McCartney apparently sat in on the session as producers with Melcher.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:16pm
Matt Clarke:

Wow. Did that create problems for reissues?
Avatar 7:16pm

He later claimed he produced the Beatles.
Avatar ☀ Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:16pm
Matt Clarke:

Terry did? Ha
Avatar 7:17pm
cometothesunshine:

No Matt, the issue was rectified. A journalist even wrote about in Musician as a great undiscovered Lennon song.

Yoko also mistakenly applied for a copyright for "Have You Heard the Word" by the Fut!

I never knew that the US single of Talking About the Good Times had a unique mix!

You learn something new everyday. Today I learned that I like Grapefruit

I have wanted to do a full hour of Grapefruit for about ten years. The original show #2 had Grapefruit and the Easybeats. Since I did a three-hour tribute to George Young, I thought I would finally give Alex his hour.

Following this show, you are invited to hear another full hour of songs by Alex Young (George Alexander) & George Young, hosted by Orange Peel.

10 years? What was stopping you? or was it a case that just the stars weren't aligned yet?

Stars and time were not there, Aubrey. I spent like 12 hours on this show, and it was supposed to be maybe four!

Thanks for being here to share some of my favorite music - very uplifting to hear with friends.

So, this song is listed on the back cover of the American Grapefruit album. I had to wait till 2016 to finally hear what they left off. Such a beautiful melody.

Hi Andrew. Love the show and the Grapefruit feature. I'm sure you're aware of the Easybeats, Vanda and Young connection. Have you ever done a feature on them? Some great songwriting and the Easybeats were much more than Friday On My Mind. Lots of offshoot bands and production credits and the great Flash and the Pan!

Also, I have the original Grapefruit lp from 68. I bought it after hearing Dear Delilah. So psychedelic at the time.
