Some of it is compiled from bit and pieces I read throughout the internet! Even though humorous, I tried to contact Dave Davies to see how close I was, but the e-mail address on his main web site page is not functioning! I enjoy guessing what happened in the recording studio!

Jay & The Americans? Both, respectable lead singers! Oddly, from my experince, not too many are thrilled with operatic style singers. Someone reported something strange about "Cara Mia", but I don't feel it had to do with a held, prolonged note! Never heard either one you mentioned.

Yeah, I read that Ray Davies is still performing. He actually looks pretty good! Call me a stick in the mud, if you wish, but I'm only interested in those songs that charted, not later (re-made, live, etc.) ones. However, if a later re-recorded version becomes the norm, in popularity (airplay, etc.), I'm interested in that!

I shy away what is fabricated outside the studio. Though some people do a great job of creating stereo, that never actually existed, such as "Sukiyaki". However, I'm known to have the only Turtles version of "You Baby" with an extended drum intro!
So rare, it only exists on my computer! :-).....

Thanks, Jim!!

Best,
John
