In the period represented by this single he worked for Pickwick or subsidiaries thereof. He might have talked about this when he appeared on Spectacle. Pickwick filled racks at 7-11s, places like that, for those very discerning customers who wanted a knock-off girl-group-clone album with their icey. I know a funny story about Tomato Music Co. and Pickwick, from my days working there. Saving it for when you file a posting on most hilariously corrupt practices in the recording business. (As opposed to the more homicidal practices.)

But frankly, it's not a good record.

Shows that Freddie "Boom Boom" Cannon had as much influence on Reed's emerging vocal style as Dion. Not at all bad. Great find.Fazenoreply@blogger.com
