Party Line

 


Party Line
(J. Schram, Kavelin BMI)

Kip Shane
Lute Records LU-159
(1959)

Obscure first release on Lute Recordsl, missing until now, from the label discographies available online.

Wax to watch 10/10/59 — KFXM 590 AM
(San Bernardino, California )


"Love Is the Thing", the flip side, was featured in The Cape Canaveral Monsters, a movie released in 1960. It's one of the four songs coming from the characters' transistor radio. The three other songs had be also issued by Lute Records. : "Please Somebody," written by Jerry Coates and performed by Terry Miller (issued on Lute 5903); "Love is the Thing," written by John Nieel Jr. and performed by Kip Shane; and "Think of Me" and "I'll Find a Way," written by Morey Bernstein and performed by Jerry Savoy.[both issued on Lute 5912]



Note the different composer credited for the songs, : J. Schram on label, but John Nieel Jr. on the movie opening credits.

I have a strong suspicion that Kip Shane is actually just another [undocumented] pseudonym for Kip Tyler. Anyway, the singer sounds remarkably like him.
