Of the four composers of Why Don't You Smile Now, Terry Phillips was Philip
Teitelbaum and Jerry Vance was Jerry Pellegrino, two staff writers at Pickwick,
along with Lou Reed and John Cale. This song was the first known collaboration
between Lou Reed and John Cale and was copyrighted on 15 September 1965. The All
Night Workers were a fictitious band comprising anonymous session musicians and
the song appeared originally as the B-side of Don't Put All Your Eggs In One
Basket, on Round Sound. Another Pickwick writer, Donnie Burks, subsequently
recorded it as an A-side for Decca. It has since been covered by the Downliners
Sect and the Delmonas

A SLIP THE BLOOD TO ME, BUD PRODUCTION
compiled 11-20 November 2003
Some of the songs on Nuggets were themselves covers of earlier songs and I ran up this selection of some of the originals on which the versions on Nuggets were based as part of a compilation minidisc, approximately 40 minutes in length. Had there been room I could have added Richard Berry's Louie Louie, the Pretty Things demo from which the Fairies learned Get Yourself Home and others
