Hidden among the "Be My Babies" and "Da Doo Ron Rons" on both the "Wall Of Sound" 4 CD set and the 2 CD "Essential Phil Spector" is this gem of a Beatles' cover. The Treasures' version of "Hold Me Tight" was barely released as a single on the Shirley label--it's b-side was "Pete Meets Vinnie!"--- but it is huge!
The "Vinnie" by the way, who Pete meets, is none other than producer Vini Poncia, who along with Pete Anders, take the vocals for The Treasures.
What an awesome find. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteI do love Phil Spector's music. I'm seriously not trying to be cleaver or make trouble but it sounds like a Godfrey Daniels outtake to me.

The same Vini Poncia who produced Kiss- Dynasty and co-wrote I Was Made For Loving You?
ReplyDeleteThat very same Vini.
