The Shangri-La's - Remember (Walking In The Sand) (Extended Custom Mix)

[@VILJL]

Mary Weiss, the lead singer of the 1960s pop group the Shangri-Las, whose hits included “Leader of the Pack,” died on January 19, 2024.. She was 75. The Shangri-Las, formed in the New York City borough of Queens, were made up of two pairs of sisters: Weiss and her sister Elizabeth “Betty” Weiss, along with twins Marguerite “Marge” Ganser and Mary Ann Ganser. They met in school and as teenagers began performing at school dances and teen hops. She is the first one from the right on this video.

Thanks for posting this. It is so sad that she is gone. What a sweet voice she had. I sure miss those days when we had such nice girl groups

[@3BoomtownKat]

Brilliant ! That could've been the World's first 12" single !? Can't stop listening it's so good !

[@chrisst8922]

A 12inch 45.

This is just great!

so beautiful.

We all have our good memories of loves we lost!

[@jonmaveus1426]

Fast becoming a favorite song! 1st time I heard this song was Aerosmith's version, not complaining at all! This original version is on another level, though, gracias!

[@michaelpalmer9826]

That was a hot song. And her New Yawk accent makes it all the more appealing.

[@travisroux3159]

Oh, my god! I was looking if that long version exist and i found that it didn't, but this version is what i expected for it. Thank you!

[@chrisst8922]

What a first rate piece of work. Not just in 1964 but also by the OP. The segues seemed fine given the provenance of the archive recordings. If the opus exists let's hope it wasn't involved in one of those record company fires.

[@officialFredDurstfanclub]

I love how dramatic and over the top this shit is, like fuck me they really went all out for an early 60s pop song

Beyond awesome. These ladies ruled. Love this thanks.

[@lincbond442]

I have always wished this song was longer, thank you!

[@cine_fix]

I know I've heard the 7 min version somewhere, on the radio I think. But I've never been able to find it. I know this isn't it but it might as well be. Well done. This is fantastic!

[@jaymythxxxx]

I've heard that 7 minute version rumoured; it does actually exist, then? Ah well, I'll keep searching!

I'm here because of the Tiktok sample. What a cool group!!

[@normanbommarito6029]

Just Great

[@cine_fix]

I find this mix fascinating. Mary's vocals are the best I've heard, anywhere. I think I've checked every release over the years. It's very frustrating to sort through when you can hear the potential but nobody has been able, or maybe tried, to pull it out. This mix proves it can be done. Did you have the stems? Also, that piece about "ribbons" for her hair and "dress to wear." Wow! Where did that come from? It fits perfectly. It's a new bridge. Really fantastic.

Way beyond the spectrum.top shelf.

[@LawyerCalhoun1]

I went to high school in that era. The girls hairstyles in my yearbook are a hoot!!

[@brtaylor50]

A LOT of hairspray.

[@suzannelawson9215]

Yes, tons of hair spray. Many girls in school in the early part of the 1960's "ratted" their hair and had to use a lot of hair spray. I was a little girl but remember all the TV commercials for hair spray and girls with those kind of hairdos.

[@mark900c2]

don't you all remember when this happen to you girl or boy

[@gortbot7748]

We can never go home again.

[@BigStar303]

This is interesting, but I have a question for the OP. The spoken word section featuring "I.M. Flowers" you included shows that you must own the Buddah compilation album "Incense and Oldies" on which it appears (unless you just copped this one section from somewhere else online). So I'm surprised you didn't make use of the unique version of "Remember" on that album - which as far as I know, has never been issued or reissued anywhere else. That version, which is in true stereo, starts with three isolated "remember"s" and then goes immediately into the first verse (no three-note descending piano bit), with Mary's vocal *completely dry - no slapback echo whatsoever*. Then comes the chorus, and there are *no seagull sound effects*. They are absent from the second chorus as well. There have been some CD reissues with the stereo version of this song, as well as ones with a longer fade-out than the single - but I really don't believe the version I describe above is available ANYWHERE other than on the "Incense and Oldies" LP. Can the OP (or anyone else) offer some insight into this?

[@MrJWilson]

While I don't own the physical vinyl of that compilation, a needle-drop of that particular version was on KZbin at time I made this fan-mix, to which I used the spoken word section. I was aware of the other unique sections but they didn't seem necessary for this particular mix. And I did try to find the original video source some time after but it appears to have been deleted, and unfortunately I didn't keep it on my end. Hope that helps.

[@BigStar303]

@@MrJWilson Thanks. I do own the "Incense and Oldies" LP, and have always been intrigued by the stereo versions it contains. It also has the alternate version of "Give Him a Great Big Kiss" (with the different spoken word section at the end). While from what I can tell, that alternate version HAS been reissued on CD, I can't find anything definitive that the alternate "Remember (Walkin' in the Sand)" has been. Which is a shame. As I described above, it really is SO different that it deserves wider dissemination. FWIW, I did find the alternate version in its entirety at the beginning of this KZbin video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaPMY6umhNCXj68 (No "I.M. Flowers," though.) It's followed by outtakes from the session, with a lot of talkback between the producer/engineer and the floor. At one point, someone adjures "Artie (Butler?), George (Shadow Morton?) and Jeff (Barry?)" to do the handclaps and finger snaps. So it seems it wasn't the girls doing those.

[@jimmynew-man6882]

daviddragona1553, Definitely classy women and courageous women, for they deviated from the mold of pop music girl groups, and their producer, Morton, along with songwriters Greenwich and Barry helped shape that image. Because of the deep effect their voices had on me, I wish I could have given them a strong embrace and tender kiss.💘💔
