 | Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | Can anyone give me some background on the group featured on the A side of this record: http://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/ppx4 I think they may be an Italian guitar group similar to the Shadows. I also think that this was issued as a 45 in some territories on X, which was an RCA Victor label. It was a part of an LP entitled Here, There, Everywhere released in Italy as catalog LPX 4002 on the X label. (see http://www.discogs.com/Downbeats-Here-There-Everywhere/release/3182590) Also looking for info about the total unrelated B side artist Thanks Jock_Girl |

| Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | New York? Yet I don't seem to find any reference anywhere to any US releases by them? What is their relationship to Ray Garnett? Edited by Jock_Girl on 10th Jan 2013, 8:14 PM |

| carryonsidney a happy disposition is an omnious sign.... Member since Feb 2010 1710 Points Moderator | from what little info I can gather from Billboard magazine [1962] Ray Garnett appears to be an artiste specializing in cover versions of other peoples hits, I strongly suspect the downbeats is likely to be a studio band that backed him. You can search archive Billboard Magazine online, via google, be warned there are several different bands called The Downbeats such as this Payola scandal |

 | davie gordon Member since Dec 2012 6058 Points Moderator | PPX was a New York based company/label which made cheapo copies of current hits then leased the tapes to different labels outwith the US. The company was run by Ed Chalpin. "The Downbeats" is almost certainly just a made up name for a group of session men - if we ever find out who exactly was involved I'll be very surprised. if you want to dig into the murky history of PPX have a look at this http://www.45cat.com/45_search.php?sq=PPX&sm=se Edited by davie gordon on 28th Jan 2013, 1:35 PM |

| Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | Thanks Davie. In reality they aren't all that bad. They're not all that good either. But hey -- its at 78, its from the 1960s -- so who cares! |
