"Great Rockin' Girls" (Collector CD)

With a whole heapin' helping of 30 (yes, count 'em) gal rockers don't expect much of a blow by blow account from me…...Let's just say that this collection is a great value for the money, even if some of these have been out on the various "gal comps." You get a selection that runs from boppin' hillbilly - Doris Hubbard - Move Over Tall Woman and Betty Jo - Eskimo Boogie , through out'n'out rockers like Tonya Dee and the Dischords - Shake This Town , Connie and the Cytations - Boogie Rock and Sandy Lee - Ballin' Keen , with a few instrumentals thrown in for good measure like Squeeze Box Rock by the Browning Sisters. Lots of great rockin' guitars and wailin' sax too. (AE, Roots & Rhythm)trax:
1. Rock And Roll Thunderbird - The Burt Sisters with The Jimmy Elledge Band 2. Yeah Baby - Betty Smith & The Rhythm Masters 3. Two Timin' Man - Bella Lee 4. Going to Hold My Baby - Karen Wheeler & The Gents 5. Wait Till I'm Sixteen - Karen Wheeler & The Gents 6. Sqeeze Box Rock - The Browning Sisters 7.

Thanks, W.G. I'll add that to my mp3 album.

Here are the Phil Spector acetates originally shared by montysmusic (these tracks were originally shared in aiff format; I converted them to mp3 at 192KBps as this made the size of the zip file more manageable). Can anyone identify the performers and song titles? For some tracks, I took a guess and while Tina Turner was easy to identify, I am less sure about how accurate my other guesses are. I placed lyrics in the song title tags of some tracks but I'd much prefer to know what the correct song titles are. Cheers

W.G., thanks for 'Sweet for Georgia Brown'

Track 7 of the Acetates is an alternate (or early, I guess) version of "Paradise", from the pen of Harry Nilsson.

"I Loved Him Like I Loved My Very Life" is miscredited to Darlene Love on your DL. It's Ronnie Spector.

This link refers to Track 16 as 'Lovely La-De-Day' (a k a 'Loverly Laddy Day')

However, it sounds to me like Ronnie (not Darlene, as credited) is singing "Love Me La-De-Day".

"Lovely La-De-Day" is definitely Ronnie Spector, from the Apple years. Probably an attempted follow-up to "Try Some Buy Some".
