    Holy Grail Partridge Family Screen Gems Records Shirley Jones David Cassidy
    HOLY GRAIL PARTRIDGE FAMILY SCREEN GEMS RECORDS SHIRLEY JONES DAVID CASSIDY. The Screen Gems record sets, as they are now known, were records produced by and for Screen Gems and used in the actual production of The Partridge Family. Never released commercially or even ever given away as Bell Record promos, they were used by the cast and crew for rehearsals, editing, writing, planning scenes, even shooting some scenes, and contain ALL Partridge Family music used on the show from beginning to end, in special Bob Kovach engineered mono mixes very different from even the Bell Records 45rpm single mixes. In some cases they contain special material that was planned for the show and never used. Just two examples are a young Meredith Baxter’s brilliant Joni Mitchell-esque vocal-guitar version of the lost song Its Time I Knew You Better with we assume her playing guitar, which was cut out of the show. Theres also Shirley Jones singing Let Me Call You Sweetheart with Mike Melvoin at solo piano, probably planned for one of the many grandparents episodes and never used nor developed further. Literally less than a handful of Partridge Family/Shirley Jones/David Cassidy fans and even experts have ever heard these versions of these songs. No one knows how many sets of these records were made, as most all have long since been discarded and/or destroyed, and to my knowledge, no one has a set as complete as this one and one has never been offered for sale. I can say without hesitation that this is one of the most complete set of these records in existence. Theyve only been played less than a handful of times with the best of equipment and care to archive them digitally. Here is a complete list of the records you will receive in this set, as well as a near as can be guess estimation of what records are missing. I have been told by other expert collectors that Ive overestimated what is missing, mainly because it appears they didnt use the records as much during the first season and that some songs never appeared on record. That would be primarily cuts 1-43. I’ll Meet You Halfway (Record). I’ll Meet You Halfway (TV). Doesn’t Somebody Want To Be Wanted (Record). Doesn’t Somebody Want To be Wanted (TV #1). Doesn’t Somebody Want To be Wanted (TV #2). I’m Here, You’re Here (Record). I’m Here, You’re Here (TV). You Are Always On My Mind (Record). You Are Always On My Mind (TV). Rider On The Road (Record). Rider On The Road (TV). There’s No Doubt In My Mind (Record). There’s No Doubt In My Mind (TV). Echo Valley 2-6809 (TV). I Woke Up In Love This Morning (Record). I Woke Up In Love This Morning (TV). I Would Have Loved You Anyway (Record). I Would Have Loved You Anyway (TV). I’m On My Way Back Home (Record). I’m On My Way Back Home (TV). It’s Time I Knew You Better (Long). It’s Time I Knew You Better (Short). It’s Time I Knew You Better (Merdith Baxter Birney Version). Let Me Call You Sweetheart. Hello Hello (TV 1 Medium). Hello Hello (TV 2 Short).

Every Song Is You (TV 2 Short). As Long As There’s You (Record). As Long As There’s You (TV). Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (TV). [Partridge Family 6-A-B Missing]. Love Must Be The Answer (TV 1 Long). Love Must Be The Answer (TV 2 Short). One Day At A Time (TV 1 Long). One Day At A Time (TV 2 Short). Something New Got Old (Record). Something New Got Old (TV). Something’s Wrong (TV). Take Good Care Of Her (TV). There’ll Come A Time (TV). Together We’re Better (TV). PARTRIDGE FAMILY 8 (One-Sided). I Wanna Be With You. I Was Running The Opposite Way. I Wouldn’t Put Nothin’ Over On You (TV). I’ll Never Get Over You (TV). I’m Into Something Good. I’ve Been Alone Too Long (TV). Oh No Not My Baby (TV). You can readily see from the numbers what is present and what is missing. Also coming with this collection, so you never ever have to play it unless you want, is a complete set of ONE-OF-A-KIND CDs that has, not only the entire collection in archival quality digital form, but also CD versions of the last missing record in the set, the one-sided record 9 that has the following songs. PARTRIDGE FAMILY 9 (One-Sided). I’ll Do My Cryin’ In The Rain (TV). How Long Is Too Long TV. I Heard You Singin’ Your Song (TV). Lookin’ For A Good Time (TV). Like A Roller Coaster (TV). When Love Is Talked About (TV). Where Do We Go From Here (TV). Workin; On A Groovy Thing (TV). How do these versions differ from the Bell Record versions? Many are the rhythm section and vocals only, with no strings/horns/flutes sweetening. Some are mere edits for time. Many others, particularly in the last sets, have actual endings instead of fade outs. Some have session singer Jackie Ward’s voice pushed forward to represent Shirley Jones on her closeups. Some have different echo effects applied. All of course are different mono mixes from the commercially-released Bell Records stereo LPs, with different instruments coming in and out of the mix. Theres an organ instead of the string and horn sweetning in Every LIttle Bit O You that never made it on the record. Entire backing vocal parts that were on the TV version but cut out of the record versions. As well as the 8-10 songs that never appeared on any Partridge Family LP. I could go on, but you have an idea by now why these records are revered by collectors and fans of the music, backed by the Wrecking Crew, the most prolific and talented bunch of studio musicians ever assembled and, for many, one of their last major studio projects before going on to other things. Because of many monetary considerations and a need for profit, there is not likely to ever be a Partridge Family box set complete with everything ever recorded, much to our disappointment. One day when our TV shows are successful we will absolutely be acquiring the rights and putting out a box set at our expense for all the fans, at a time when we will not have to profit from the enterprise and can afford to take a loss. Until that time, this is going to be the only way to get recordings of these songs, as well as have a piece of history that will increase in value, as well as pride that you helped the next generation get to hear, not only this original music, but the continuation of it. As well as more great timeless pop songs recorded by Shirley Jones! We accept all major credit cards via Authorize. Or if you wish you can pick them up personally. This is the only way left to us at this time. And please, everyone, download your Forever Family free CD. At our website, and also check out our youtube videos. When you have time. This is indeed a great sacrifice for us as lifelong Partridge Family fans and collectors, and only another fan and collector could understand. We are hopeful that there is one special person out there with the means to back our project and help the music continue. We trust that you will keep these records to yourself and guard them as preciously as we have over the years. You SHOULD have it after all these years, and we knew of no other way to reach you. Please consider recording and performing music again. _gsrx_vers_526 GS 6.6.6 (526).
