	♥ 6:00pm Daisy Lacy: lucky show 184!
	6:00pm WLSClark: Andrew, mom Andrew!!
	6:01pm cometothesunshine: Yes, thanks Daisy!
	6:01pm MOM WHIG: Daisy is in the house -- HEY!
	6:01pm cometothesunshine: They Karate? I karate?
	6:02pm Eric R: hi Daisy! Where's Julie? Is she celebrating early?
	♥ 6:02pm Daisy Lacy: hey hey hey! is there a karate dance move im not privy to?
	6:03pm WLSClark: Is karate in the original lyrics? I never knew that!
	6:04pm cometothesunshine: Perhaps Daisy - we are all learning today
	6:05pm cometothesunshine: WLS - I think Tommy spiced it up for 1967
	6:05pm Eric R: such a good voice. There's a great video, a full show from maybe 20 years ago in some club.
	6:05pm WLSClark: I sure think he must have. Cool idea.
	6:06pm cometothesunshine: Wait a second!
	6:06pm dangie: Mirage = one of my Shondell Fave Raves!!!
	6:07pm WLSClark: Does anyone know when Tommy's book made into a movie will be out in theaters? Has it been filmed yet?>
	♥ 6:07pm Daisy Lacy: I second that dangie!
	6:07pm cometothesunshine: There is a lot to love in this show
	6:08pm Eric R: for later viewing pleasure. 1999 show at the Bitter End. Really good! youtu.be...
	6:08pm cometothesunshine: WLS - guessing the project hasn't made it off the ground
	♥ 6:09pm DennisK: Aloha Andrew!
	6:10pm cometothesunshine: Hey hey, Dennis!
	♥ 6:10pm DennisK: Just fixed a Beachbum's Own ;-)
	6:11pm dangie: Tommy's catalog would be a great candidate for a Broadway jukebox musical... Lots of killer material that hasn't been over-exposed.
	6:11pm WLSClark: Andrew, bummer. What a great book he wrote.
	6:11pm cometothesunshine: Richie Cordell & Bo Gentry really had something going on these records
	☀ ♥ 6:12pm izzy: Saw Tommy two summers ago. Still great! Nothing since 2019 about the movie that I could find.
	6:13pm cometothesunshine: I haven't seen him perform in many years, but I did meet him once for dinner after a gig he did on the beach here in California
	6:15pm MOM WHIG: Great dangle you made it here -- HI izzy too
	6:15pm cometothesunshine: Some of the best sounding east coast productions of the 1960's
	☀ ♥ 6:15pm izzy: Hey, Mom!
	6:15pm WLSClark: This 45 was such a cool departure for them and their move away from teeny bopper a bit. About the same time Raiders did "I had a Dream". Two surprises in slow motion from bands that were doing fast songs. Both great!
	6:15pm dangie: Hi Mom!!
	6:15pm MOM WHIG: Good tune - I just had my hands on my 45 of this tune.
	☀ ♥ 6:16pm izzy: Why does Tommy get thrown in the bubblegum bag?
	6:16pm dangie: Great analogy, Clark!!!
	6:16pm MOM WHIG: WLS agree with you.
	6:16pm cometothesunshine: Izzy: I am not sure, nothing he did was truly Bubblegum
	6:18pm sw2442: Hello Andrew and everyone here...enjoying the Tommy James and The Shondells celebration...I know I sound like a broken record, but, just like The Monkees and Jackie DeShannon, they should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame too...a long time ago.
	☀ ♥ 6:19pm izzy: I agree, but every gum comp will have TJ on it. Between TJ and the Monkees, I've argued much that neither are "bubblegum."
	6:19pm WLSClark: There's nothing wrong with the teenybopper or bubblegum category to my thinking. I loved all of tommy's incarnations as I grew up with it all sw2442!
	6:20pm cometothesunshine: Izzy: Tommy's music is easy to license (I think that may be the answer).
	6:20pm WLSClark: This was pushed with a commercial and Billboard listed it as a two sider. I always thought both sides of MOST of theirs were great
	☀ ♥ 6:21pm izzy: Hmmmm. Interesting. Why is it so easy to license?
	6:22pm cometothesunshine: Another favorite, "Out Of The Blue"
	6:22pm uptown jen: There it is! ❤️
	6:22pm WLSClark: Great segway!
	6:22pm cometothesunshine: TJ & The Shondells - in their BPM phase
	6:23pm dangie: Dynamite vocals here!!!
	6:23pm cometothesunshine: Thanks, WLS!
	6:23pm WLSClark: Dont those Roulette labels look awesome still today?
	♥ 6:23pm DennisK: BPM?
	♥ 6:24pm Aitch: So not what I think I want to listen to, but just so very good
	♥ 6:24pm DennisK: Playing to a click??
	6:26pm cometothesunshine: Dennis - I just mean they seemed to be hitting some kinda fast BPM dance thing on all of the hits from a certain phase.
	6:26pm MOM WHIG: Aitch - good to see you here too
	♥ 6:26pm DennisK: So is that ubiquitous lead mono keyboard a Solovox, Ondioline..... what??
	♥ 6:26pm DennisK: Gotcha, Andrew
	6:27pm cometothesunshine: Not sure, Dennis - but those are good guesses
	6:27pm cometothesunshine: Welcome, Aitch!
	♥ 6:27pm DennisK: Dave Amels (whom I saw last night) would know, I bet!
	6:27pm cometothesunshine: yes, he would!
	♥ 6:28pm Aitch: I get about Mom. Love all the alt streams on WFMU, mind expanding
	6:28pm cometothesunshine: No bet on that one.
	6:29pm cometothesunshine: Gettin' Togther is perhaps their strongest album cut for cut
	6:31pm cometothesunshine: They discovered how to wobble the tape machine on this track.
	6:31pm cometothesunshine: The Wildlife also did a great version of this which DJ Orange Peel played earlier.
	6:32pm mce1965: Moishe would be proud of you, Andrew - you're treating his boy right
	6:32pm cometothesunshine: Speaking of fruits
	6:32pm MOM WHIG: Hey mce1965
	6:33pm cometothesunshine: MCE1965 - he spared no expense in studio time.
	6:33pm cometothesunshine: You will never hear supermarket music again
	6:33pm mce1965: Exactly
	6:35pm cometothesunshine: Total Heavyocity
	6:35pm WLSClark: An anwser record to Mellow Yellow! haha
	6:35pm She Chimp: Yes! Hello Andrew
	6:36pm cometothesunshine: Hello, She Chimp!
	6:36pm cometothesunshine: Bananas!
	6:36pm WLSClark: Gingerbread Man is my fave by them I prefer the 45 version with the echoed break that WKYC played in 68 a lot.
	6:37pm cometothesunshine: Yes, me too - a computer issue prevented that from being on this show (which was already delayed) - WLSClark
	6:38pm WLSClark: Yeah, I heard about your computer problems. Those things can be horrible.
	6:39pm MOM WHIG: Yes, the Bunny does mess things up sometimes!
	6:39pm cometothesunshine: First he was a Tangerine, then a Ginger Bread Man and finally a Big Time Operator
	6:40pm dangie: the trifecta!!
	6:40pm cometothesunshine: The King of Occupational Pop
	6:41pm cometothesunshine: Big Time!
	6:42pm cometothesunshine: Some Beach Boys-esque sounds
	6:46pm mce1965: I'd put this album up against many other much more vaunted releases from 1967 - a fine piece of work
	6:47pm WLSClark: This great one has some subtle differences in the mono and stereo versions, to my memory.
	6:47pm cometothesunshine: Yeah, mce1965 - perhaps it would have been a perfect album spotlight today. Alas, all of the tracks slotted in nicely to do something different.
	6:47pm sw2442: I really didn't hear She until recently...it quickly became one of my favorite songs of Tommy's ever...
	6:48pm Eric R: now a big hit. Makes me think of Grazing in the Grass except softer and cooler.
	6:48pm MOM WHIG: Can't go wrong with Crystal Blue Persuasion
	6:48pm uptown jen: Not a dud in the bunch! Totally digging everything I’m hearing today. Thanks, Andrew.
	6:49pm cometothesunshine: Thanks, Jen - this one is very Grazing In The Grass.
	6:49pm MOM WHIG: Eric - on board with that picture!!
	6:50pm WLSClark: Eric--never thought of it and I HEAR IT!
	6:50pm cometothesunshine: with a dash of Mission Impossible Lalo Schiffren
	♥ 6:50pm Candy-O'67: Hey Andrew, Mom Whip, Eric, SW2442, uptown jen, WLSClark, mce1965, dangie, Aitch, DennisK, izzy, Daisy! I think I got everyone. Been running errands and listening and now back at home! Enjoying the show!
	6:51pm MOM WHIG: Great to see you here Candy - inside in the COOL A/C hopefully!
	6:52pm cometothesunshine: Thanks, Candy!
	♥ 6:52pm Candy-O'67: Hey, Mom! Yes! It's not too bad here, though, cause we've had rain showers off and on today, kept it in the 80's today. Not bad!
	♥ 6:53pm Candy-O'67: Mom, I just saw I misspelled your name earlier! That was a funny typo!
	6:53pm WLSClark: candy, goot to hear from you too
	♥ 6:54pm Candy-O'67: Thanks, WLSClark!
	6:55pm Eric R: hello Candy!
	6:56pm Eric R: So I've never experienced 113 degrees before. With the AC on it's still 88 inside. But the show is getting me through it nicely. Plus seeing you all here. Very distracting!
	6:57pm uptown jen: Hi, Candy-O!
	♥ 6:58pm Candy-O'67: Wow, Eric, that's crazy weather for up your way!!
	♥ 6:58pm Aitch: One of the best pop songs by anyone ever
	6:58pm Eric R: this bit here....doesn't seem to be anyone around...really got to us kids back then.
	♥ 6:58pm Candy-O'67: Tommy has always had quite the head of hair! ;)
	6:59pm cometothesunshine: I wonder how Maurice Levy picked which of his singles got picture sleeves?
	7:00pm MOM WHIG: I didn't realize that there were 6 of them originally.
	7:00pm mce1965: Whichever Mafia buddy of his who owned a printing plant had a special going that month
	7:01pm cometothesunshine: If he didn't want something to happen to his presses
	7:01pm MOM WHIG: Eric - are you "MELTING"?
	7:02pm cometothesunshine: Very seldom has a picture sleeve brought about greater chart success
	7:02pm WLSClark: TJames' sleeves were generally very nice pics.
	7:02pm Eric R: who would believe a little girl like you could destroy all my beautiful wickedness? I'm melting!!!
	7:03pm cometothesunshine: Nursery Rhyme Pop
	7:03pm WLSClark: THIS I would say is the one song that kinda gave him the bubblegum tag originally, I think. Maybe?
	7:03pm cometothesunshine: I agree, WLS
	7:04pm WLSClark: This was another of those transition 45s that was more of a true rocker than teenybopper AND it had cool ideas in the recording.
	7:05pm cometothesunshine: Very Motown like, WLS
	7:06pm cometothesunshine: Cordell & Gentry shared the arranger credit on Get Out Now
	7:06pm Eric R: not in the hall of fame, right?
	7:06pm cometothesunshine: Post Mony, he became a party record guy again (like Hanky Panky)
	7:07pm WLSClark: Not sure, but I think they were late on this and ? & Mysterians beat them to this. Kind of odd that they would do a song that was already a hit. Since the 45 of this was his first production, maybe he was just grabbing a track from Mony LP to experiment with? Just guessing.
	7:07pm cometothesunshine: Not in the Hall Of Fame
	7:07pm cometothesunshine: But in the Soul Clap Hall Of Fame
	7:08pm MOM WHIG: My 45's are only of Roulette - no pic sleeves
	7:08pm cometothesunshine: And a man who sent me chocolate covered potato chips as a thank you gift!
	7:11pm WLSClark: Mom there are 3 or 4 on left that are sleeves on Roulette--all cool, IMO. AND of course, the HIP POCKET 3" pic sleeve flexi disc. haha
	7:12pm MOM WHIG: WLS thanks I saw that too
	7:13pm WLSClark: After Crimson first broke on WLS, I loved it. Then, I was even more enthralled when the long LP version came out later, but nowadays, I really don't like that Lp version anymore.
	♥ 7:13pm Candy-O'67: See y'all later. Headed to a yoga class. Will catch the rest in the archives!
	7:13pm MOM WHIG: Bye Candy
	7:13pm cometothesunshine: So long, Candy
	7:13pm WLSClark: Have fun, Candy
	7:15pm dangie: Bye Candy!
	7:16pm sw2442: Bye Candy...stay safe
	7:18pm Eric R: this one is also excellent on that Bitter End show I mentioned earlier.
	7:19pm MOM WHIG: Eric - I really don't remember this one at all. It's groovy.
	7:20pm cometothesunshine: Some great album tracks, Mom Whig!
	7:20pm MOM WHIG: Super harmony
	☀ ♥ 7:22pm izzy: Don't know this one. 45 only cut?
	7:24pm cometothesunshine: Izzy, also on the Mony Mony album
	7:27pm Eric R: this song isn't that unusual
	☀ ♥ 7:28pm izzy: Kinda Concrete and Clay vibe.
	7:28pm cometothesunshine: Eric R - yes that too
	7:28pm cometothesunshine: The I Think We're Alone album is quite strong too
	7:32pm Tim from LH: Digging these album cuts!
	7:33pm dangie: Another act with a bevy of top shelf album cuts & b-sides... great selections today, Andrew!!
	7:33pm cometothesunshine: Me too, Tim
	7:34pm cometothesunshine: Thanks, Dangie!
	7:36pm Eric R: snap records!
	7:37pm cometothesunshine: Not written by Tommy Jackson!
	7:38pm Tim from LH: I’m old enough to remember the Hanky Panky when it was a hit record and played all summer on the beach and boardwalk!
	7:38pm MOM WHIG: One of my favs from them - Hanky Panky
	7:38pm MOM WHIG: Hey dangle and Tim from LH
	7:39pm WLSClark: This was my first TJames I ever bought and I love it. Talk about an aerobics song!
	7:39pm MOM WHIG: WLS - I can see this as good to aerobics by.
	7:40pm WLSClark: Mom, the pic sleeve is one of the best, IMO
	7:40pm cometothesunshine: Early Paul Leka
	7:41pm MOM WHIG: Glad no one fell in.
	7:41pm WLSClark: This was the new Shondells first 45 too, correct?
	7:42pm cometothesunshine: yes, WLS
	7:42pm WLSClark: Mom, funny!
	7:43pm uptown jen: This has quite a different feel to it.
	7:43pm MOM WHIG: Hey jen - you got a new pix
	7:44pm uptown jen: Yeah. I just added one after years of pledging and listening.
	7:44pm cometothesunshine: Jen - on this first album, Tommy isn't the only vocalist
	7:44pm uptown jen: I usually post on the app.
	7:44pm uptown jen: See? Then, the photo doesn’t come up!
	7:46pm WLSClark: Just think how many of his 60's hits like this have been remade and become number ones again! It's amazing.
	7:47pm MOM WHIG: Andrew - Today is one of your best shows - but keeping that in mind "you never disappoint us" with all the work that goes into your shows. You're one in a million.
	7:48pm cometothesunshine: That is so nice of you to say, Mom Whig! You made my day! Thanks!
	7:48pm uptown jen: Seconded, MOM WHIG!
	☀ ♥ 7:48pm izzy: Fun show, Andrew!
	7:48pm Olivia Greene: Listening in the other room to the last hour and breaking out into dancing. Thanks so much, Andrew!
	7:49pm cometothesunshine: Thanks everyone!!!
	7:49pm WLSClark: Great show and a great subject, Andrew!
	7:49pm Olivia Greene: "I'm alive" covered by The New York Dolls' Johnny Thunders pre-Dolls!
	7:49pm cometothesunshine: Orange Peel has an hour of East Coast rock coming up: Rascals, Cyrkle, Left Banke, Magicians, Tokens, etc.
	7:50pm Eric R: the fact that my favorite hasn't been played yet, and likely won't, but there are all these other great songs illustrates the depth of the TJ "oeuvre"
	7:51pm WLSClark: Eric, Nothing to Hide?
	7:51pm sw2442: Another wonderful show Andrew...great as always. Take care.
	7:51pm MOM WHIG: Eric - see you BPN later
	7:52pm dangie: Have a great week everybody!!!
	7:52pm Eric R: I'm working with WFMU on so I'm hopping over toe OP after this. This is as good as the Moody Blues version.
	7:52pm cometothesunshine: Thanks, I have a couple more TJ sides left for you all
	7:52pm MOM WHIG: I'll be there too - OP
	7:53pm Tim from LH: What Mom Whig said!
	7:54pm MOM WHIG: See you all on the Dance Floor
	7:54pm dangie: Here's hoping you have a sold out run of books come July 1st, Andrew!!
	7:55pm cometothesunshine: Looking good, dangie.
	♥ 7:56pm Aitch: Great show. Must hunt down some of these discs
	7:56pm cometothesunshine: Thanks all - see you soon!
	7:56pm WLSClark: What Tim said
	8:04pm uptown jen: Hi, all!

	6:04pm cometothesunshine: Perhaps Daisy - we are all learning today
	6:05pm cometothesunshine: WLS - I think Tommy spiced it up for 1967
	6:05pm Eric R: such a good voice. There's a great video, a full show from maybe 20 years ago in some club.
	6:05pm WLSClark: I sure think he must have. Cool idea.
	6:06pm cometothesunshine: Wait a second!
	6:06pm dangie: Mirage = one of my Shondell Fave Raves!!!
	6:07pm WLSClark: Does anyone know when Tommy's book made into a movie will be out in theaters? Has it been filmed yet?>
	♥ 6:07pm Daisy Lacy: I second that dangie!
	6:07pm cometothesunshine: There is a lot to love in this show
	6:08pm Eric R: for later viewing pleasure. 1999 show at the Bitter End. Really good! youtu.be...
	6:08pm cometothesunshine: WLS - guessing the project hasn't made it off the ground
	♥ 6:09pm DennisK: Aloha Andrew!
	6:10pm cometothesunshine: Hey hey, Dennis!
	♥ 6:10pm DennisK: Just fixed a Beachbum's Own ;-)
	6:11pm dangie: Tommy's catalog would be a great candidate for a Broadway jukebox musical... Lots of killer material that hasn't been over-exposed.
	6:11pm WLSClark: Andrew, bummer. What a great book he wrote.
	6:11pm cometothesunshine: Richie Cordell & Bo Gentry really had something going on these records
	☀ ♥ 6:12pm izzy: Saw Tommy two summers ago. Still great! Nothing since 2019 about the movie that I could find.
	6:13pm cometothesunshine: I haven't seen him perform in many years, but I did meet him once for dinner after a gig he did on the beach here in California
	6:15pm MOM WHIG: Great dangle you made it here -- HI izzy too
	6:15pm cometothesunshine: Some of the best sounding east coast productions of the 1960's
	☀ ♥ 6:15pm izzy: Hey, Mom!
	6:15pm WLSClark: This 45 was such a cool departure for them and their move away from teeny bopper a bit. About the same time Raiders did "I had a Dream". Two surprises in slow motion from bands that were doing fast songs. Both great!
	6:15pm dangie: Hi Mom!!
	6:15pm MOM WHIG: Good tune - I just had my hands on my 45 of this tune.
	☀ ♥ 6:16pm izzy: Why does Tommy get thrown in the bubblegum bag?
	6:16pm dangie: Great analogy, Clark!!!
	6:16pm MOM WHIG: WLS agree with you.
	6:16pm cometothesunshine: Izzy: I am not sure, nothing he did was truly Bubblegum
	6:18pm sw2442: Hello Andrew and everyone here...enjoying the Tommy James and The Shondells celebration...I know I sound like a broken record, but, just like The Monkees and Jackie DeShannon, they should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame too...a long time ago.
	☀ ♥ 6:19pm izzy: I agree, but every gum comp will have TJ on it. Between TJ and the Monkees, I've argued much that neither are "bubblegum."
	6:19pm WLSClark: There's nothing wrong with the teenybopper or bubblegum category to my thinking. I loved all of tommy's incarnations as I grew up with it all sw2442!
	6:20pm cometothesunshine: Izzy: Tommy's music is easy to license (I think that may be the answer).
	6:20pm WLSClark: This was pushed with a commercial and Billboard listed it as a two sider. I always thought both sides of MOST of theirs were great
	☀ ♥ 6:21pm izzy: Hmmmm. Interesting. Why is it so easy to license?
	6:22pm cometothesunshine: Another favorite, "Out Of The Blue"
	6:22pm uptown jen: There it is! ❤️
	6:22pm WLSClark: Great segway!
	6:22pm cometothesunshine: TJ & The Shondells - in their BPM phase
	6:23pm dangie: Dynamite vocals here!!!
	6:23pm cometothesunshine: Thanks, WLS!
	6:23pm WLSClark: Dont those Roulette labels look awesome still today?
	♥ 6:23pm DennisK: BPM?
	♥ 6:24pm Aitch: So not what I think I want to listen to, but just so very good
	♥ 6:24pm DennisK: Playing to a click??
	6:26pm cometothesunshine: Dennis - I just mean they seemed to be hitting some kinda fast BPM dance thing on all of the hits from a certain phase.
	6:26pm MOM WHIG: Aitch - good to see you here too
	♥ 6:26pm DennisK: So is that ubiquitous lead mono keyboard a Solovox, Ondioline..... what??
	♥ 6:26pm DennisK: Gotcha, Andrew
	6:27pm cometothesunshine: Not sure, Dennis - but those are good guesses
	6:27pm cometothesunshine: Welcome, Aitch!
	♥ 6:27pm DennisK: Dave Amels (whom I saw last night) would know, I bet!
	6:27pm cometothesunshine: yes, he would!
	♥ 6:28pm Aitch: I get about Mom. Love all the alt streams on WFMU, mind expanding
	6:28pm cometothesunshine: No bet on that one.
	6:29pm cometothesunshine: Gettin' Togther is perhaps their strongest album cut for cut
	6:31pm cometothesunshine: They discovered how to wobble the tape machine on this track.
	6:31pm cometothesunshine: The Wildlife also did a great version of this which DJ Orange Peel played earlier.
	6:32pm mce1965: Moishe would be proud of you, Andrew - you're treating his boy right
	6:32pm cometothesunshine: Speaking of fruits
	6:32pm MOM WHIG: Hey mce1965
	6:33pm cometothesunshine: MCE1965 - he spared no expense in studio time.
	6:33pm cometothesunshine: You will never hear supermarket music again
	6:33pm mce1965: Exactly
	6:35pm cometothesunshine: Total Heavyocity
	6:35pm WLSClark: An anwser record to Mellow Yellow! haha
	6:35pm She Chimp: Yes! Hello Andrew
	6:36pm cometothesunshine: Hello, She Chimp!
	6:36pm cometothesunshine: Bananas!
	6:36pm WLSClark: Gingerbread Man is my fave by them I prefer the 45 version with the echoed break that WKYC played in 68 a lot.
	6:37pm cometothesunshine: Yes, me too - a computer issue prevented that from being on this show (which was already delayed) - WLSClark
	6:38pm WLSClark: Yeah, I heard about your computer problems. Those things can be horrible.
	6:39pm MOM WHIG: Yes, the Bunny does mess things up sometimes!
	6:39pm cometothesunshine: First he was a Tangerine, then a Ginger Bread Man and finally a Big Time Operator
	6:40pm dangie: the trifecta!!
	6:40pm cometothesunshine: The King of Occupational Pop
	6:41pm cometothesunshine: Big Time!
	6:42pm cometothesunshine: Some Beach Boys-esque sounds
	6:46pm mce1965: I'd put this album up against many other much more vaunted releases from 1967 - a fine piece of work
	6:47pm WLSClark: This great one has some subtle differences in the mono and stereo versions, to my memory.
	6:47pm cometothesunshine: Yeah, mce1965 - perhaps it would have been a perfect album spotlight today. Alas, all of the tracks slotted in nicely to do something different.
	6:47pm sw2442: I really didn't hear She until recently...it quickly became one of my favorite songs of Tommy's ever...
	6:48pm Eric R: now a big hit. Makes me think of Grazing in the Grass except softer and cooler.
	6:48pm MOM WHIG: Can't go wrong with Crystal Blue Persuasion
	6:48pm uptown jen: Not a dud in the bunch! Totally digging everything I’m hearing today. Thanks, Andrew.
	6:49pm cometothesunshine: Thanks, Jen - this one is very Grazing In The Grass.
	6:49pm MOM WHIG: Eric - on board with that picture!!
	6:50pm WLSClark: Eric--never thought of it and I HEAR IT!
	6:50pm cometothesunshine: with a dash of Mission Impossible Lalo Schiffren
	♥ 6:50pm Candy-O'67: Hey Andrew, Mom Whip, Eric, SW2442, uptown jen, WLSClark, mce1965, dangie, Aitch, DennisK, izzy, Daisy! I think I got everyone. Been running errands and listening and now back at home! Enjoying the show!
	6:51pm MOM WHIG: Great to see you here Candy - inside in the COOL A/C hopefully!
	6:52pm cometothesunshine: Thanks, Candy!
	♥ 6:52pm Candy-O'67: Hey, Mom! Yes! It's not too bad here, though, cause we've had rain showers off and on today, kept it in the 80's today. Not bad!
	♥ 6:53pm Candy-O'67: Mom, I just saw I misspelled your name earlier! That was a funny typo!
	6:53pm WLSClark: candy, goot to hear from you too
	♥ 6:54pm Candy-O'67: Thanks, WLSClark!
	6:55pm Eric R: hello Candy!
	6:56pm Eric R: So I've never experienced 113 degrees before. With the AC on it's still 88 inside. But the show is getting me through it nicely. Plus seeing you all here. Very distracting!
	6:57pm uptown jen: Hi, Candy-O!
	♥ 6:58pm Candy-O'67: Wow, Eric, that's crazy weather for up your way!!
	♥ 6:58pm Aitch: One of the best pop songs by anyone ever
	6:58pm Eric R: this bit here....doesn't seem to be anyone around...really got to us kids back then.
	♥ 6:58pm Candy-O'67: Tommy has always had quite the head of hair! ;)
	6:59pm cometothesunshine: I wonder how Maurice Levy picked which of his singles got picture sleeves?
	7:00pm MOM WHIG: I didn't realize that there were 6 of them originally.
	7:00pm mce1965: Whichever Mafia buddy of his who owned a printing plant had a special going that month
	7:01pm cometothesunshine: If he didn't want something to happen to his presses
	7:01pm MOM WHIG: Eric - are you "MELTING"?
	7:02pm cometothesunshine: Very seldom has a picture sleeve brought about greater chart success
	7:02pm WLSClark: TJames' sleeves were generally very nice pics.
	7:02pm Eric R: who would believe a little girl like you could destroy all my beautiful wickedness? I'm melting!!!
	7:03pm cometothesunshine: Nursery Rhyme Pop
	7:03pm WLSClark: THIS I would say is the one song that kinda gave him the bubblegum tag originally, I think. Maybe?
	7:03pm cometothesunshine: I agree, WLS
	7:04pm WLSClark: This was another of those transition 45s that was more of a true rocker than teenybopper AND it had cool ideas in the recording.
	7:05pm cometothesunshine: Very Motown like, WLS
	7:06pm cometothesunshine: Cordell & Gentry shared the arranger credit on Get Out Now
	7:06pm Eric R: not in the hall of fame, right?
	7:06pm cometothesunshine: Post Mony, he became a party record guy again (like Hanky Panky)
	7:07pm WLSClark: Not sure, but I think they were late on this and ? & Mysterians beat them to this. Kind of odd that they would do a song that was already a hit. Since the 45 of this was his first production, maybe he was just grabbing a track from Mony LP to experiment with? Just guessing.
	7:07pm cometothesunshine: Not in the Hall Of Fame
	7:07pm cometothesunshine: But in the Soul Clap Hall Of Fame
	7:08pm MOM WHIG: My 45's are only of Roulette - no pic sleeves
	7:08pm cometothesunshine: And a man who sent me chocolate covered potato chips as a thank you gift!
	7:11pm WLSClark: Mom there are 3 or 4 on left that are sleeves on Roulette--all cool, IMO. AND of course, the HIP POCKET 3" pic sleeve flexi disc. haha
	7:12pm MOM WHIG: WLS thanks I saw that too
	7:13pm WLSClark: After Crimson first broke on WLS, I loved it. Then, I was even more enthralled when the long LP version came out later, but nowadays, I really don't like that Lp version anymore.
	♥ 7:13pm Candy-O'67: See y'all later. Headed to a yoga class. Will catch the rest in the archives!
	7:13pm MOM WHIG: Bye Candy
	7:13pm cometothesunshine: So long, Candy
	7:13pm WLSClark: Have fun, Candy
	7:15pm dangie: Bye Candy!
	7:16pm sw2442: Bye Candy...stay safe
	7:18pm Eric R: this one is also excellent on that Bitter End show I mentioned earlier.
	7:19pm MOM WHIG: Eric - I really don't remember this one at all. It's groovy.
	7:20pm cometothesunshine: Some great album tracks, Mom Whig!
	7:20pm MOM WHIG: Super harmony
	☀ ♥ 7:22pm izzy: Don't know this one. 45 only cut?
	7:24pm cometothesunshine: Izzy, also on the Mony Mony album
	7:27pm Eric R: this song isn't that unusual
	☀ ♥ 7:28pm izzy: Kinda Concrete and Clay vibe.
	7:28pm cometothesunshine: Eric R - yes that too
	7:28pm cometothesunshine: The I Think We're Alone album is quite strong too
	7:32pm Tim from LH: Digging these album cuts!
	7:33pm dangie: Another act with a bevy of top shelf album cuts & b-sides... great selections today, Andrew!!
	7:33pm cometothesunshine: Me too, Tim
	7:34pm cometothesunshine: Thanks, Dangie!
	7:36pm Eric R: snap records!
	7:37pm cometothesunshine: Not written by Tommy Jackson!
	7:38pm Tim from LH: I’m old enough to remember the Hanky Panky when it was a hit record and played all summer on the beach and boardwalk!
	7:38pm MOM WHIG: One of my favs from them - Hanky Panky
	7:38pm MOM WHIG: Hey dangle and Tim from LH
	7:39pm WLSClark: This was my first TJames I ever bought and I love it. Talk about an aerobics song!
	7:39pm MOM WHIG: WLS - I can see this as good to aerobics by.
	7:40pm WLSClark: Mom, the pic sleeve is one of the best, IMO
	7:40pm cometothesunshine: Early Paul Leka
	7:41pm MOM WHIG: Glad no one fell in.
	7:41pm WLSClark: This was the new Shondells first 45 too, correct?
	7:42pm cometothesunshine: yes, WLS
	7:42pm WLSClark: Mom, funny!
	7:43pm uptown jen: This has quite a different feel to it.
	7:43pm MOM WHIG: Hey jen - you got a new pix
	7:44pm uptown jen: Yeah. I just added one after years of pledging and listening.
	7:44pm cometothesunshine: Jen - on this first album, Tommy isn't the only vocalist
	7:44pm uptown jen: I usually post on the app.
	7:44pm uptown jen: See? Then, the photo doesn’t come up!
	7:46pm WLSClark: Just think how many of his 60's hits like this have been remade and become number ones again! It's amazing.
	7:47pm MOM WHIG: Andrew - Today is one of your best shows - but keeping that in mind "you never disappoint us" with all the work that goes into your shows. You're one in a million.
	7:48pm cometothesunshine: That is so nice of you to say, Mom Whig! You made my day! Thanks!
	7:48pm uptown jen: Seconded, MOM WHIG!
	☀ ♥ 7:48pm izzy: Fun show, Andrew!
	7:48pm Olivia Greene: Listening in the other room to the last hour and breaking out into dancing. Thanks so much, Andrew!
	7:49pm cometothesunshine: Thanks everyone!!!
	7:49pm WLSClark: Great show and a great subject, Andrew!
	7:49pm Olivia Greene: "I'm alive" covered by The New York Dolls' Johnny Thunders pre-Dolls!
	7:49pm cometothesunshine: Orange Peel has an hour of East Coast rock coming up: Rascals, Cyrkle, Left Banke, Magicians, Tokens, etc.
	7:50pm Eric R: the fact that my favorite hasn't been played yet, and likely won't, but there are all these other great songs illustrates the depth of the TJ "oeuvre"
	7:51pm WLSClark: Eric, Nothing to Hide?
	7:51pm sw2442: Another wonderful show Andrew...great as always. Take care.
	7:51pm MOM WHIG: Eric - see you BPN later
	7:52pm dangie: Have a great week everybody!!!
	7:52pm Eric R: I'm working with WFMU on so I'm hopping over toe OP after this. This is as good as the Moody Blues version.
	7:52pm cometothesunshine: Thanks, I have a couple more TJ sides left for you all
	7:52pm MOM WHIG: I'll be there too - OP
	7:53pm Tim from LH: What Mom Whig said!
	7:54pm MOM WHIG: See you all on the Dance Floor
	7:54pm dangie: Here's hoping you have a sold out run of books come July 1st, Andrew!!
	7:55pm cometothesunshine: Looking good, dangie.
	♥ 7:56pm Aitch: Great show. Must hunt down some of these discs
	7:56pm cometothesunshine: Thanks all - see you soon!
	7:56pm WLSClark: What Tim said
	8:04pm uptown jen: Hi, all!
