Re: Jan & Dean
It's the perfect time of the year to listen to Jan & Dean.
Here's an all-time classic. Their sixth Liberty single, released May 1963, co-written by Brian Wilson (with Jan Berry), and featuring Brian as part of the backing vocals.
This record reached number 1 in both "Billboard" and "Cashbox" Pop listings, and even scored number 3 in the former's R&B charts. It's also considered as the first surf record to ever reach number 1.
This is the original mono mix that became a hit, that blasted out of every radio that summer of 1963. Play it LOUD !

Re: Jan & Dean
I assume the late great Glen Campbell performed on their sessions as part of The Wrecking Crew?

Glen definitely played on many sessions for them.r&b wrote:I assume the late great Glen Campbell performed on their sessions as part of The Wrecking Crew?
He's credited on at least one LP and also name-checked on a few songs ("Kansas City," "Memphis"):

The release history of this song is quite convoluted :
Three versions of "Dead Man's Curve" were released:
**Version #1: Original version from the 1963 Drag City album
**Version #2: Single "hit" version with added horns, strings, additional backing vocals and sounds of a car skidding and crashing; from the 1964 Dead Man's Curve/The New Girl In School LP
**Version #3: An earlier rejected studio mix from the 1966 Filet of Soul album.
Live versions appear on the 1965 Command Performance and 1971 Anthology albums
There are a few minor lyrical differences between versions #1 and 3 and version #2 listed above:
**Versions #1 & 3 - "my frenched tail lights", "the strip was deserted" and "pulled her out and there I was"
**Version #2 - "my six tail lights", "the street was deserted" and "pulled her out and there we were"
There are two basic versions:
**Version one: Lead and backing vocals: Jan Berry Background vocals: Jan Berry, Brian Wilson, Gary Usher. Released: on Drag City LP, Liberty LST 7339, Jan and Dean Jan. 6, 1964 Side one, cut five 3:01
Also on Filet of Soul LP, Liberty LST 7441, Jan and Dean, April 25, 1966, Side two, cut three 3:01
