Well Respected Man (EP)

Kinks

Alan Field's Fab Notes:

Although it was released as a single in the States and in some European countries, the song Well Respected Man was only ever an EP and album track in the UK and the rest of Europe. Brian Long lists it as Well Respected Man (EP) throughout its 4-week run on the Fab 40, and that accreditation is reproduced here. Maybe it was the only track Radio London played, however it was never the title track of an EP released in the UK. In October 1965 British fans could buy the Kwyet Kinks EP (Pye NEP 24221), featuring Wait Till The Summer Comes Along, Such A Shame, Well Respected Man and Don't You Fret. There was a Well Repected Man EP released in France and elsewhere on the continent (Pye PNV 24151), but with different tracks: Well Respected Man, Louie Louie, See My Friends and Never Met A Girl Like You Before.

(I can recall the Kinks release always being announced as 'the Well Respected Man (EP)' and I can't recall any of the other three Kwyet Kinks tracks being aired. Of course it's quite likely that the original intention had been to issue the EP in the UK in the same format as the continental release, or even to release Well Respected Man as a single. Maybe the Pye record company changed its mind somewhere along the way. – Mary)

And the Meek shall inherit the earth..... well £515 anyway. This week's Fab 40 includes no less than four records produced by Joe Meek, all now highly collectable. At #18 there's Glenda Collins' Thou Shalt Not Steal (HMV POP1475), with a value of £35 for a mint copy. At #22, On The Horizon by the Syndicats (Columbia DB 7686) would set you back a cool £400. (See notes for Fab Forty 03/10/65) The Hotrods' new entry at #34, I Don't Love You No More (Columbia DB 7693) has a price tag of £45. Bless You a revival of the 1961 Tony Orlando hit by Peter London, (Pye 7N 15957) new at #36, is worth £35. Added value also arises where the ubiquitous Jimmy Page played (or is believed to have played) on the recording. Kerrr-chinggg!!! Peter London had previously recorded under his real name of Peter Cook, but changed it to avoid confusion with the other Peter Cook (i.e. the acclaimed British comedy writer/performer). Record Mirror held a contest for readers to choose a new name for Peter, but he rejected them in favour of his own choice – London. Maybe he liked the 'Swingin' London' connotations and thought it would assure him of more airplay on the station of the same name?
