here's an opinionated opinion: older records sound better because they were designed to sound good.

Eric: you're almost certainly right about Herb Alpert and Lou Adler. They had several such writer credits, although I can't find one offhand for "New Fad."

For a second when I heard "hi everyone" I thought it was Kitschy Mama.

Also, it reminded me that I should write a "Hi Everyone" greeting to you all.

This Bongos track packs in all the shtick doesn't it? May explain why they ran out of lyrics after two words!

MW, yeah. Looks like it's been spun a few times!

It's rare that the title of a song is also the entire lyrics sheet

So, possible case of small world syndrome: looks like the hot guitar on The Continentals track was Mickey Baker…who is the Mickey of Mickey & Sylvia, who is the Sylvia Robins played earler.
