My apologies... I'm sorry to say that In an effort to set things right, the information I entered in my posts is not correct. After just listening to The Searchers' version of Popcorn Double Feature , I realized that it is not the recording which was given to me by Scott English and Larry Weiss aft...

Not having been personally present at these recording sessions, I can't swear who played what on which session. However, are you aware of the fact that the virtuoso guitarist who actually played on most of these recording sessions is Hugh McCracken? I was acquainted with Hugh as he played on some of...

Yes, I was only thirteen years old at the time, and it was a very frustrating and difficult experience for myself as well as for my manager Bob Reno as he dealt with the record company. Because Tow...

Hi: To provide an answer to part of a question that was raised earlier in this thread... On the contrary, The Searchers recorded Popcorn Double Feature before I did.
