Episode #71: Lesley Gore
Having returned from my travels in Europe and across the United States during which I collected magical 45’s to play for you, I have created “Come To The Sunshine” show 71.
Hour one includes original singles (direct from vinyl and all in MONO) from Gil & Johnny/The Others/Marvin’s Circus/The Carousel/Vanity Fare/The Shambles/Wild Silk/Eddie Hodges/The Shaggy Boys/The Shuffles/The Boys Next Door/The Fantastic Baggys/The Springfield Rifle/Sir Henry And His Butlers/The Gross National Product/A Handful/The Dirty Shames/The Scarecrow/The Seagulls/The Mother Love
Hour two explores the late sixties recordings of Lesley Gore, focusing on selections from Lesley’s 1967 album, California Nights, in MONO (not available on CD in this mix). Also, we’ll be spinning tracks from her unissued follow-up, Magic Colors, which was recently exhumed for CD release by our friends at ACE. We’ll hear tracks from the ACE reissue, as well as many of the original single mixes which have thus far escaped digitization.
First aired January 31, 2011 episode 68 of “Come To The Sunshine” was touted as “perhaps the best episode of this continuing series” by host Andrew Sandoval. He may have been right seeing as this program features more than two hours of wonderful and rare recordings by the Byrds, Gene Clark and Dillard & Clark. On deck are powerful original vinyl 45 and LP mono mixes, alternate stereo versions, acetates and vintage interviews with Jim, Gene, David, Chris and Michael.
