Hi Matt and Gray...
There were a couple of odd sac diddies that never saw the light of day...one was the sac backing Freddy Cannon on a song...Cincinnati something...?
then Dick Clark had us do a different recording of Birds in my Tree for Psych-Out...it never made it to the film...I guess DCP has it somewhere...?
there was also a Coppertone commercial and a Chevy Camaro commercial we recorded...neither of those were ever used either....the Camaro commercial used the music of Tomorrow...but it said Camro...we were also filmed for that commercial...driving the car to the beach and all of us getting out dressed in old time swim suits...the body stocking type...pretty funny...never saw it though.

: UNI singles anthology = great idea! Lotsa
: interesting releases. Seems right up
: Rev-Ola's alley. Universal were notorious
: for being hard to deal with in the past (and
: wanted way too much $$ for licensing), which
: is why I was so surprised to see Peppermint
: Trolley Company get the digital treatment.
:
: SAC single mixes definitely differ from
: their album counterparts.
: "Tomorrow" is a completely
: different, earlier recording. Certain
: intruments on "Guru" &
: "Baltimore" may have been
: re-recorded. "Baltimore" has a
: longer fadeout. The mono "Miss
: Attraction" has a very different feel
: to it (no left-to-right panning).
:
: I'm willing to bet there's some unreleased
: SAC lying around gathering dust... alternate
: takes of familiar tunes, at the very least.
: It just seems no one at these large record
: companies has any initiative to scour the
: vaults for an artist who isn't going to sell
: a zillion copies. Would be great to hear
: unreleased material from Fever Tree, Orange
: Colored Sky, Rainy Daze etc etc.

: Well, I have an idea for a compilation of
: 45s
: on UNI and Shamley, so perhaps that would be
: an ideal vehicle to include some of the SAC
: mono mixes. There was a lot of odd bits and
: pieces released on 45 by that label: Marcia
: Strassman (of Welcome back Kotter fame) had
: 3 "flower power" singles, then
: there's Tim Gilbert's Buckleyesque outing
: which along with material by bands like the
: Hook, Rainy Daze, Lollipop Shoppe, Calliope,
: Merrel Fankhauser and HMS Bounty, Factory,
: Daily Flash, Druids of Stonehenge, Fever
: Tree, etc. would make a fantastic collection
: of pop psych.
:
: It's just sorting out the licensing with UNI
: that might prove a hassle.
