THE FASHIONETTES - LOSIN' CONTROL


This track languished in the tape vaults of Hollywood producer Gary S Paxton until the release of the compilation 'Girl Trouble" a few years back. To me, this song screams HIT and I can't believe it was unreleased! Producer Paxton notes that he couldn't get anyone to release it and didn't have the money to release it himself.

There's very little info about the group in the notes to the CD, other than that one of the original Fashionettes was a runaway whose mother found her and took her away from the group before Losin' Control was recorded.

Thanks to kent records in the UK, this incredible track has been released as a very limited 45 which I am proud to present here.

from 1966...

can anyone tell me what's going on with the rapidshare thing? every time i follow the link it tells me i'm already downloading something & i'm not allowed to download simultaneous files without making myself a premium member - which is bullshit as i am not trying to download anything else at all! pass me the prozac please!!!

Rapidshare works great here! Thanks for the upgrade. If you think the B sides warrant it, please include them if you have time.

Pay for Rapidshare premium. It's cheap, and makes downloading very easy and fast. Don't be a cheap skinflint who wants free music and everything else for free. It costs Derek money to buy these 45's, and it has cost me millions to buy my collection. So pay a tiny fee and then listen. Otherwise, wait an hour for the next available download if you want to be a skinflint.

To the "anonymous" poster who keeps leaving mean spirited messages here. No, I will not publish them; call me whatever you want it doesn't kill my buzz. This is a FUN blog all about spreading FREE music that is not heard everyday; not a place to go and call names and send hate mail. No one else has complained about rapid share, and we are still averaging 100+ listens per day. In order to keep publishing this blog, it is the only choice. My previous file host continuously exceeded bandwidth restrictions due to so many downloads. So its either rapid share or perhaps Derek's MONTHLY 45. It is a great pleasure to get all of the positive comments about the blog, so thanks to all!

i like Gyro's suggestion about including the b side if you think it worthwhile [i see you did so on the Junior Wells tune]..

even just the info as to what's on the other side would be nice too...

Derek See said...

Point well taken, Ana. I will try to include info on the b side.

any way to repost the link? :-/

Laura-

I will email you the track. I can only keep links up for so long because of bandwidth issues.
