Arlw-have you considered writing a book. You and Cowpoke jointly could right an authoritive account of Glen's activities over the years.

Here is that 45 RPM Audition Record with Glen Campbell on guitar! Just received it today.
Glen also played on this single "Masked Grandma/"Little Bit of Heaven" (Imperial 66179) by the "California Suns" from 1966. Apparently "Masked Grandma" was supposed to be recorded by Jan & Dean but "Jan's horrendous accident prevented them from doing the song". This 45 is an Audition Record on the Imperial Label and is in great condition. Glen does studio session work on here with the “California Suns.” This is surf type music. Imperial is a division of Liberty Records. This 45 from 1966 is quite rare as it is an AUDITION RECORD and those are even rarer to locate. Comes in the original Imperial Records sleeve too. A great 45 with Glen Campbell on guitar. As of July 2013, this record is 47 years old! I had it on my list to find for over 35 years and never did locate one till last week! How cool is that???

Cowpoke,
you are correct...Many years of research finally paid off and some help from you along the way. Here is another but an LP-2 I got today!
Ed Kenney’s Hawaii –this is an LP from November 1966 with Glen Campbell on here doing session work. Glen did a session resulting in a 45 in September 1966 called “Tiny Bubbles/Hawaii” on Decca Records 32041 by Ed Kenney. This LP contains those 2 singles and another 4 songs, which together with the 2 previous songs ended up on the album, Ed Kenney’s Hawaii-also on Decca Records DL-74877. Decca Records, a Division of MCA, Inc. This LP is Stereophonic and recorded in Hawaii. This is the original Decca Label from 1966 in near mint condition. This is a used copy but in great condition. Glenn Campbell with 2n’s is acknowledged on the back jacket under 2 tracks but Glen is on 4 more songs on this album by Ed Kenney. Original jacket and sleeve houses the LP. USA record but recorded in Hawaii. Some tracks are, The Days Of My Youth, Tiny Bubbles, Hawaii, Aloha OE, and more. Very rare to find from my needed list!
I also have a SEALED COPY of the ED KENNEY!
Music To Turn You On”-this was recorded in April 1967. Glen Campbell led a session for Pete Fountain, a clarinet player who played many a solo on. The 5 songs that were recorded (The Eyes Of Love, Casino Royale, Tiger Rag, Somethin' Stupid, Music To Watch Girls By) ended up on this album. (CRL -757496- Coral Records). This recording says that it’s in stereo on the jacket, but the LP says Stereophonic. There are 11 tracks on this Pete Fountain album with Glen Campbell on guitar doing studio session work. This was the tail end of Glen’s studio days. This LP is on the CORAL RECORD label but Coral is a subsidiary of Decca Records, Inc. The record is near mint condition and is housed in the original Coral sleeve. There is no mention of Glen’s name on the record or the jacket but Glen did record this album with Pete Fountain. This is another rare LP.
Thanks for the kind words--this forum has been around a long time and we always strive to keep it going!

Good question Siblis. This particular recording session and Glen's involvement has been mentioned on several websites in the past. I think the source information comes from the liner notes of this release:
http://faintlyblowing.blogspot.com/2008 ... s-fun.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
But Arlw, correct me if I'm wrong!
Information about these sessions can come from either album liner notes, interviews, books, newspaper and magazine articles and of course ultimately AFM contracts. Some fans (like Arlw) have spent many years researching this subject. It was one of the things that attracted me to this forum in the first place!

I am amazed at the information Arlw can command and proud that it is this forum that reaps the benefit. You would rarely if ever read such insightful knowledge on the official forum. This forum is still going without any of the ramataz of the SD site. This site is the brandy and cigar club of an ocean liner-exclusive.

This is a rare 45 and Glen Campbell is on this:
Glen played on a single called "Masked Grandma/Little Bit Of Heaven". It is on the Imperial Label # 66179 and the group is called "The California Suns". It dates back to 1966. Apparently "Masked Grandma" was supposed to be recorded by Jan and Dean but, "Jan's" horrendous accident prevented them from doing the song." The 45 rpm that I AM getting is an "Audition Record" on the Imperial Label. What a great find and too bad that Jan and Dean didn't get to record it, but I am so glad The California Suns chose Glen Campbell to be back up!
Actually, to be honest I think either way, Glen Campbell was a shoe in for this recording.

Second part!
Glen plays lead guitar on this single, the first release by April Stevens and Nino Tempo- “Sweet and Lovely” released on ATCO Records- 6224. Glen Campbell was also present on their big hit "Deep Purple" (soaring to #1 in the fall of 1963). This was released as 2 separate records on ATCO. In order to have BOTH songs that Glen Campbell was on is to obtain a type of re-issue with both tracks on here. Atlantic Oldies Series- Atlantic-Vocal A-6000 SP-From ATCO-6224/ATCO-6273. Manufactured by Atlantic Recoding Company-located in New York.-A Warner Communications Company. The tracks “Deep Purple/Sweet and Lovely” BOTH appear on this 45 with Glen Campbell doing session work. This 45 is in MINT condition. Very rare to locate this because Glen is on BOTH recordings. If you want the Original ATCO label, you will have to buy this 45 twice as both of these tracks weren’t released together and charted at two different times. Great Find!
In September 1966, Glen Campbell did a session resulting in a 45 called "Tiny Bubbles" (flipside: "Hawaii") on Decca 32041, by Ed Kenney. This is the original Decca 45. The record is near mint condition considering its age! Under the credits of Ed Kenney on this 45 of Vocal/Orchestra and Directed by, they list GLENN CAMPBELL with the 2 N’s and he is also listed that way on the flip side. I think this is not only a misprint but a rare find. Glen is on this 1966 recording. Decca Records-Granite Music Corporation. This 1966 release record is housed in the original Decca Sleeve. What makes this even more interesting is that in November of 1966, Glen Campbell not only has these 2 tracks added to his credit, but recorded with Ed Kenney another 4 songs which ended up on an LP called “Ed Kenney’s Hawaii”-also on Decca. That LP was also bought and will be added to the albums when it arrives. The track on this 45 “Hawaii” is from The United Artists Motion Picture, “Hawaii”. Great 45. This record is 47 years old.
By The Time You Get To Phoenix / Wishing Well- #2085 Capitol Records on the original yellow/orange swirl label—Wanda Jackson and the Party Timers-Written by Bill Graham and Jim Webb-Johnny Rivers Music. Produced by Ken Nelson. This 45 is from early to mid-60’s time frame and Glen Campbell is on guitar doing studio session work. Most likely part of “The Wrecking Crew”. The correction of the Jim Webb song is “By The Time I Get To Phoenix.” (45-58857/45-58856.) This Capitol release by Wanda Jackson is housed in the original Capitol sleeve. Another rare original find with Glen Campbell on guitar.
