JIM PEWTER

Beim Recherchieren bin ich heute früh auf den unten aufgeführten Absatz gestoßen,
den ich dann abgetippt habe, weil ich denke, dass er nicht im Buch von Mark A. Moore über
JAN & DEAN ungelesen und unbeachtet bleiben sollte.
Mark A. Moore: The JAN & DEAN Record, ....U.S.A. 2016
Auf der Seite 54 im Oktober 1959 steht unter dem Stichwort `Publicity (Baby Talk´):
„Jim Pewter started his career as a teenage deejay in St. Paul, Minesota. In January 1959, the youngster had interviewed Buddy Holly and J. P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson when they were in St. Paul for a concert at the Promenade Ballroom. A week later, the music stars were dead. But through a family connection, Pewter landed in Hollywood, and by October his first single was released. “I came to the West Coast, made a record on my own “Little Girl”, with Bumps Blackwell (under the name Deviny James, Beta 45-1006), and I did some touring at the time”, Pewter told Peter Jones Productions. “I was driving down Sunset and I stopped at Ben Frank´s one night. This was about the fall of ´59, and I met Jan Berry for the first time. And we were talking …He gave me some pointers at the time about how to keep my record on the radio. He says `DO a lot of record hops these deejays.´ At the time Jan & Dean were doing a lot of hops. I remember I would go over to Wallichs Music City in Hollywood. It ewas Sunset and Vine, and right across from Wallichs Music City was Dore Records headquarters. And they had this huge poster of Jan & Dean that everyone would look at, and you ´ll drive by and see it. During that time in ´59 no one would have a poster that big. This was when `Baby Talk´ was out. The marketing poster had been label owner Lew Bedell´s idea.
Pewter went on to a career in radio, becoming program director of K-Earth in 1973. Jim, along with Alan Wolfson, played a major songwriting and production role during Jan´s solo career on Ode Records in the mid-1970s.”

Die LP "The Surfaris live" kam 1983 auf koinkidink Records 102 heraus.
Die Wiederveröffentlichung als CD 1994 auf Playground Productions Concept erschien auf
GNPD 2239 und beinhaltet dieselben Aufnahmen.
Im Gegensatu zu dem LP Cover Rückseitetext, Spalte 4, wird aber auf der CD das Interview
mit Jim Pewter gekennzeichnet.
Scan im Anhang.
