So not left in the can, but a non-LP single. Produced by Bob Crewe, no less.

Let's catch up later today. Things here are the same, the usual on again-off again scene I've been in all year. Actually, been busy because I finally bought a new car after renting for almost 2 months. Got a Ford Fusion and love it.
Kenny, the Bob Crewe-produced single was the result of Phil having given up. He had already lost interest in his girl groups [[due to their poor showing on the charts during 1964) as well as the devastating failure of Tina's "River Deep". If you'll notice, for the last Ronettes' single [[Philles 133, "I Can Hear Music"), Phil handed the production reigns over to Jeff Barry, having pretty much washed his hands of Philles. The only reason he released another Ronettes record at all was to satisfy Ronnie's urging to get back in the studio, which she so loved. As far as how and why Bob Crewe came into the picture, I don't know. I don't recall ever reading anything about that. If I did, I've forgotten. The record is far from a glorious Phil Spector production. If I had my druthers, however, I would have made "A Man Is A Man Is A Man" the A-side.

Sorry to hear that nothing has improved on the home front. Congrats on the new car, though! My aunt's been driving a Fusion and she loves it! Yep, let's talk soon!
