b'The song I\\u2019ve sent you this week is called \\u201cWhen You\\u2019re The Other Woman\\u201d\\u201d which was written for and is performed by Pauline Daniels\\u2026.I\\n\\nThis was on the B side of the first record I made when I formed my company (you have already played the A side \\u201cYou\\u2019re No Good To Me If You Can\\u2019t Boogie\\u201d)\\u2026whereas the A side was aimed at radio play this one was specifically for her act.She started out as a singer and sang stuff like \\u201cSend In The Clowns\\u201d\\u2026and \\u201cPearl\\u2019s a Singer\\u201d\\u2026so this one fitted into her act\\u2026it is what it is like to actually BE the other woman\\u2026the one who gets the blame\\u2026..I had to craft it to her voice so she could get the big note at the end\\u2026.I achieved this by having a key change in the middle which went DOWN a tone\\u2026the only one to do it I think\\u2026.then there\\u2019s another key change which actually brings it back to the original key\\u2026clever eh?\\n \\nMy publisher in the seventies was called Mingard Music and it is where I befriended Angie McCartney (Paul\\u2019s stepmum) and her daughter Ruth\\u2026when they went to the States they suggested I go it alone which I did\\u2026I built an 8 track studio in my attic and paid for it by doing demos for people\\u2026I advertised in a national mag and ended up doing 200 demos\\u2026.some of them were horrendous with customers simply singing the song in the bath etc..and I had to put it into shape\\u2026.I was always helpful\\u2026one guy sent me a song to do called \\u201cMy Old Man\\u2019s A Policeman\\u201d to the tune of My Old Man\\u2019s A Dustman\\u2026.I told him I would alter a few chord progressions so he didn\\u2019t get sues and suggested he call it \\u201cTop Of The Cops\\u201d\\u2026which he did\\u2026it was still horrendous. Sue Young uses to do the female vocals\\u2026great days.\\n \\nThe news here is a constant barrage of election rubbish\\u2026which just results in me being more confused than I was beforehand\\u2026..and when you switch channels all you get is every illness being discussed in length\\u2026that\\u2019s all we get all the time.\\nIf I could I would like to suggest a channel with things of interest on it\\u2026.good well written dramas\\u2026.good documentaries\\u2026and FUNNY comedy\\u2026.then Ant and Dec,Sarah Millican,John Bishop,Ross Poldark,and all the cooking programmes and all the cures for obesity can be avoided\\u2026..with 15 minutes of news.\\n \\n.....having said this I have been watching \\u201cHi-De-Hi\\u201d which is on every day at tea time\\u2026.I never used to be fussy\\u2026but it is so funny and so well written\\u2026.it is a continuous story which is great fun to keep up with\\u2026it is written by the guys who wrote Dad\\u2019s Army\\u2026it really is brilliant\\u2026and what a breath of fresh air.\\n \\n...The blokes who were allegedly plane spotting at some foreign airport are STILL in jail and their case come up next Monday\\u2026.I bet they are panicking now\\u2026also we had the robbery of a big jewellery store\\u2026and they reckon the thieves got away with 200 million pounds worth of stuff\\u2026and no-one knew they were there for days\\u2026.I think a few heads will roll on this one\\u2026.also the French air traffic control strikes are causing havoc to our holiday makers\\u2026this sort of thing should be outlawed\\u2026it\\u2019s disgraceful.\\n\\n...finally we are experiencing air pollution from France and The Sahara\\u2026.don\\u2019t the know we are British\\u2026.KEEP YOUR NASTY AIR WE DON@T WANT IT !!!!!'
