Good Timin’ Episode #10- Carl and the Passions - “So Tough”

Nice episode. Thanks for posting.

You mentioned marcella placing in the single charts of record world and cashbox under top 100 listings. The single also placed in billboard’s bubbling under the hot 100 listings. July 15, 22 and 29th issues had it at 112, 111 and 110.

Jack did an interview around the time this release of carl & the passions lp. He mentioned that the group had just gotten the rights for the last five studio lps on capitol for around ten years. The group felt like those lp’s were not promoted right by capitol. So the plan was for the next five brother/reprise lp’s to be paired with one of the five capitol lp’s. Only charge around $1 more for for the double lp’s. Because of the flack they got for putting pet sounds with carl & the passions those plans were put on hold. After success of endless summer those other 4 capitol lp’s were released in 1974 as double lp’s
