According to the message boards on the official Shout Factory website:

Quote:

I can assure you that there will be a second season of The Patty Duke Show sometime early next year. I am working on that volume now, in fact. Everything's shaping up well and it looks like we'll have another really fun set.

I still have four episodes to go in the Season One set, and I should mention that Shout! Factory did an outstanding job. I recall Season Two as being the overall best of the three seasons the show was on the air, with many celebrity guest stars (Chad & Jeremy, Sammy Davis Jr., Robert Goulet, Frank Sinatra Jr.) including Duke herself, appearing as a guest star on her own show by playing a third identical cousin--blonde southern belle Cousin Betsy.

I was alittle late in ordering my Season One package but alas I received this yesterday so I'll have some cool TV to watch this weekend. Thanks AMW for the update on Season 2.

Soooo...who else bought The Best of Patty Duke when Capitol issued the CD back in 1996? It's OOP and going for silly money on Amazon.

Gotta tell you, I loved Patty's TV series ... but Lulu she is not.

How did she stack up against Shelley "Just sing each line about thirty times and we'll double-track the two best" Fabares?

Same studio formula. In the book Hollywood H-Fi, the authors describe her voice as "anorexically thin" and comment that "she did endless takes to get enough good pieces to paste together one usable version, and the stress and humiliation often made her break down sobbing." Further, they describe her albums as sounding like "what you'd get if you recorded an ordinary teenage girl of 1965 singing along to the radio in her bedroom."

I highly recommend Hollywood Hi-Fi to anyone interested in celebrity recordings. A skinny volume by George Gimarc and Pat Reeder, who write with great humor and no small affection for the subject matter. (From a review of a Buddy Ebsen album: "Once upon a time, America was ruled by hillbillies. No, we're not talking about the Carter administration...") Used copies can be had for next to nothing on Amazon.

One of the few vinyl albums that I don't store out in the garage:

I see "Don't Just Stand There" actually got into the Top 10. That's awesome.

This is why I scoff at white people over the age of 50 who hate contemporary pop music and point to the 1960's as being some sort of musical utopia, devoid of prefabricated, derivative corporate drivel.
