BOS to "Diamond Girl," if only to get away from classic and southern-fried rock for a few moments this week.  I'd like S&C so much better if I'd never heard about "Unborn Child."

Ditto both sentiments.  Oh that wacky Bah'ai religion.  I mean... they worship hummingbirds!

Is this Jeff Lynne singing "Roll Over Beethoven"?  I'm assuming this is still the Move and not yet ELO.

it's ELO -- their first or second LP.  the Move was long gone by '73, also the year of Roy Wood's Wizzard ("See My Baby Jive" -- if only we'd hear THAT today).

Ditto!

ETA: this is making the Styx track seem a lot less cheezy by comparison.

Damn, I would have *loved* to have heard BW's "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More, Babe" instead of the nonsensical emptiness of "Shambala."

BOS #3 3DN "Shambala".  When I was looking up B. W. Stevenson yesterday I saw he covered this (or was it a different song with same titile?).  Anyone familiar?

ETA: so, based on Mike's post B.W. wrote this & 3DN is the cover?

Yes.  His version came out at the same time, but of course 3DN were huge so they got the hit.  It is generally felt that radio played "My Maria" as a kind of give-the-guy-a-break thing.

I know we've discussed this previously -- comes up whenever Dave mentions it.

We've had this discussion too... the LP came out in Nov or Dec  of '73, legal in both years.

Stevenson recorded the initial version of, but did not write, "Shambala," a Daniel Moore composition.  3DN covered it and had the hit (they had the benefit of reputation and better distribution) so Stevenson linked up with Moore and they wrote the soundalike "My Maria."

Dec. 5, 1973.  Betcha Bob will say "...released just in time for Christmas of '73...", as he is wont to do.

Well, not so much corrected; your version of things doesn't diverge from mine much.  It all happened within a few months so it was essentially contemporaneous.  3DN, for their part, were resentful of how "Shambala" came to pass: A song seller had pitched them on it, they requested a "hold" on it, and the seller unethically turned it around and pitched it to others as "the song Three Dog Night's about to record," forcing 3DN to rush-record and rush-release it to beat the competition.  Which they did.
