Well....the first song we did...Wich Stand...sounded so much like the BB that in a meeting at Capitol Records we played the acetate and they turned it down flat..said it sounded too much like BB.. they were right it did..so Brian wrote Pamela Jean.. we went back in the studio and Capitol took that one...In 64 Capitol signed the Beatles and that means money for PR etc and they dropped all groups not that popular..we (Survivors) werent the only group they dropped.......
@leftseatmusic1 Dave, I always loved this song and The Survivors. With all due respect to my all-time favorite band, "Pamela Jean" blows away "Car Crazy Cutie" in my humble opinion. I assume that you guys didn't record more songs because of Brian's Beach Boys' obligations. If you could be so kind to explain why no other singles were recorded, I would be very appreciative.
really??? all these years i thought no one wrote a song with my name in it...and my 1st AND middle name is here! sick....i don't think my parents will admit it...but i bet this is where my name came from! luv it!
This is the cleanest transcription of this recording I've ever heard. I have the original single (yes, I actually BOUGHT it!!!) and several reissues on CDs, but this is the best. Glad the story of the "band" has been cleared up here. I also thought (and so we were told back in 1964) that this was the Beach Boys under an assumed name.
@notholding2 You bought it! haha! Awesome!
