(.....BREAKIN' IT UP ON THE BEATLES TOUR......) by ( JACKIE DE SHANNON )...... ....( A FAN SAYS:When Jackie DeShannon was booked as one of the opening acts on the Beatles' 1964 American tour, her record label hastily put together an album. At the time, Jackie was relatively unknown even in her own country, but the tour guaranteed her plenty of exposure. Whether or not the fans who attended the concerts took much notice of the supporting acts, people in the music industry certainly did. A lot of singers and groups, especially from Britain, started taking an interest in Jackie's music. They recorded covers of songs that she'd recorded, some but not all of which she'd written. The first twelve tracks here made up the original Beatles tour album. Several songs here are famous because of other versions although sometimes Jackie was the first singer to record them. The Searchers recorded two of them (Needles and pins, When you walk in the room) after hearing Jackie's versions and had huge international hits with them. Plenty of other singers have recorded one or both of these songs since then, sometimes also charting with them. Smokie returned Needles and pins to the British top ten in the seventies. A duet version of the same song by Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks made the American top forty in the eighties. Pam Tillis recorded a country version of When you walk in the room , taking it to number two in the country charts in the nineties. Jackie was one of the first to record Randy Newman's song writing talents. She co-wrote one song (Hold your head high) with him and recorded another of his compositions (Did he call today Mama). There are many other wonderful songs here including covers of He's got the world in his hands (a traditional song), Over you (first recorded by Aaron Neville). Like several of Jackie's albums, this one spans a variety of styles, though the emphasis here is on rock'n'roll, which is just the kind of music that the Beatles recorded at the time of their 1964 tour with Jackie. THE JACKET IS vg++ THE VINYL IS M- RARE AND GREAT )........
