Notes: 1) “Hollywood Town” is singer-songwriter’s Harriet Schock debut LP. 2) An original Schock composition from this LP, “Ain’t No Way to Treat A Lady”, became a huge US top ten hit for singer Helen Reddy in 1975 (#8 on the Billboard Hot 100, #5 on the Cash Box Top 100 Singles chart, #1 on the Billboard Easy Listening charts), charting as well in New Zealand and Australia. An early cover version also exists, done by american group LAX (see pictures at the bottom of entry). The song has since become a classic and has been covered by many other artists worldwide. 3) Ms. Shock’s own performance of “Ain’t No Way to Treat A Lady” on the “Hollywood Town” album was released as the second single from the LP. There appear to be two versions of this cut at two different speeds. Ms. Shock was so kind as to provide some info about this in an email exchange of a few days ago (April 2014). Here is her recollection of the story: “Regarding the speeding up of the single, that was quite a heartbreaking story. There was a music director who was going to play my version of “Ain’t No Way to Treat A Lady” on a top 40 station here in L.A. in the Seventies, when my album came out. “Hollywood Town” was the first single, and “Ain’t No Way to Treat A Lady” was the second single. He wanted it faster, so Russ Regan (head of 20th Century Records) recalled the record, sped it up and reissued it. This music director had a fight with the program director and quit the Friday before the Monday that station was going to start playing my record. There was a second top forty station poised to go on it when the L.A. station did. We lost both stations when the music director from L.A. quit. The promotion staff of 20th Century Records, now scattered around the country in other jobs, is still talking about how close we came. Later on, Helen Reddy heard my version on the radio, because it did get some airplay, and the rest is history.”. My heartfelt thanks go to Harriet Schock for the above.
