A. SIX YEARS AGO AN ORIGINAL J-2 COPY OF "WRAPPED AROUND YOUR FINGER" SOLD FOR £2287; THE NOUGHTIES NORTHERN SCENE IS OFTEN BILLED AS BEING "FOR MILLIONAIRES ONLY", BUT I THINK A MORE APPROPRIATE TERM WOULD BE "FOR BACHELORS ONLY", SINCE TO MANY WIVES (INCLUDING MINE), SUCH EXHORBITANT SPENDING IS GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE (AND I'M SURE THAT FEMALE COLLECTORS' ARE JUST AS SPENDTHRIFT); THIS VERY PRICEY TUNE WAS THE POETS' FOLLOW-UP TO THEIR THREE SYMBOL 45s OF 1966; WRITTEN BY THE POETS' LEAD SINGER, RONNIE LEWIS, "WRAPPED AROUND YOUR FINGER" IS A MID-TEMPO FINGER-CLICKING GEM FROM THE OFF; THE OTHER GUYS PROVIDING THE SUBLIME HARMONIZING WERE MELVIN BRADFORD, JOHNNY JAMES, AND PAUL FULTON

B. ARTHUR WRIGHT WAS A LEGENDARY WEST COAST ARRANGER WHO DIED AT THE AGE OF 78 LAST YEAR; I'D NEED A WHOLE DAY JUST TO LIST JUST SOME OF THE BEAUTIFUL RECORDS THAT BENEFITED FROM HIS PRESENCE, WITH SHAWN ROBINSON'S SOLE MINIT 45 BEING JUST ONE OF THEM; SLIGHTLY SUPERIOR TO THE UNISSUED BARBARA MERCER HANDLING (IMHO), BUT STANDING HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE PATTIE BROOKS' DISCO RIP-OFF OF THE TUNE (TITLED "AFTER DARK" ON THE "THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY" SOUNDTRACK); PRODUCED BY ROBERT STAUNTON AND WRITTEN BY STAUNTON AND JESSICA WEBSTER; I'M STILL LOOKING FOR AN ORIGINAL TO REPLACE MY WRIGHT SOUND BOOT, AND £200-£300 IS JUST WITHIN MY RANGE (BUT DON'T TELL THE WIFE!)
