Amsterdam Russ Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) Can anyone tell me if Linda Cumbo's 'Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow / Did you ever lose your mind' got a release in Germany or anywhere in Europe during the 60s? Thanks in advance... Edited November 30, 2010 by rigilbert Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Amsterdam Russ Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 No one know? I ask as I picked up a 7" acetate recently of 'Did you ever lose your mind'. The name on the label 'Peter Shaeffers Music Publishing' is a long established publishing company based in Germany. Also, it appears not to be an American-made acetate. Does this publishers name appear on the US release, can anyone tell me? (I did ask for a scan recently but no one was able to oblige). If not, did this get released in Germany or elsewhere in Europe? (If it is a European acetate rather than an American one, then it's interesting that the label is in English rather then German). Any info?

Amsterdam Russ Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Thanks for the link, but not sure that helps. All it highlights to me is how poor Yahoo Music is as a resource. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Can't see any mention of Peter Shaeffer on either side. Linda Cumbo tunes are always popular in our house, in fact I'm sure I have a spare copy of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow if anyone is after one.

Thanks I don't think that a publisher's acetate can indicate any possible german release. Peter Schaeffer's Europaton company did promote songs to record companies all over Europe. I guess your acetate was done for reference or promotion hence the english sticker on it. If it was released in Germany I never seen it or even heard of it before.

Docfish Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 A record store in Hamburg / Germany baught the archives of Peter Schaeffer's Music Publishing some 5 years ago. I'm pretty sure, that your acetate comes from this find. Nearly all records out of the vaults of P.S. Music Publishing had this sticker on the label. The company's job was to find labels for independent releases from the USA. By the way, this archive was out of this world and a wet dream for any rare soul collector.

Amsterdam Russ Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) Thanks Mark, Benji and docfish! The scan combined with the information about Peter Shaeffers Music Publishing is excellent and confirms that this is a German acetate made to sell the song to a label for commercial release. Whether it did get a release though seems to be in doubt from what you guys are saying. Wow, I'll bet the company's archive was indeed real treasure chest! From what I've learned, Linda Cumbo changed her name after the first couple of releases and became Linda Clifford...
