HI,
I’ve been trying to find out what’s happened to my reed order no. 124916 I place on 24th April. My emails are not getting through. Can you please chase this up for me and let me know on fruxton@netspace.net.au.
Thanks.
Hi Francesca, yes I have now checked your order and can see that Paypal has it as “processing”
this happens very rarely but it means that it doesn’t actually come thru to me for some technical reason so I had no idea that you placed this order.
I see that you also ordered 2 song downloads along with it …did you receive the link for them?
Let me know and also if you still want the order to go thru and I’ll expedite it as fast as I can.
cheers
Johnny
SAYS AI ~ “Please Mr. Postman” is the debut single by The Marvelettes for the Tamla (Motown) label, notable as the first Motown song to reach the number-one position on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart. The single achieved this position in late 1961; it hit number one on the R&B chart as well.
Here are some funny facts about “Please Mr. Postman”:
The Marvelettes’ original name was the Casinyettes, which means “can’t sing yet” .
The song was inspired by a blues song written by William Garrett, which was then reworked by Georgia Dobbins .
The Beatles covered the song, and in their version, John Lennon added a funny accent when singing “deliver de letter, de sooner de better,” referencing their early Hamburg and Cavern days: says somethingelsereviews.com.
The Marvelettes originally auditioned for Motown with a different song, but Berry Gordy suggested they write a new song, leading to the creation of “Please Mr. Postman” .
The song’s original intent was for a girl pining for a boyfriend in the service, but when the Beatles covered it, that aspect was dropped, and the song became more about a girl away at college and a boy pining for her
