 During this period, under the name "Mike Lendell," Rashkow wrote, produced and sang lead on a novelty tune "Please Phil Spector" which was not released in the U.S., but received airplay overseas.That recording was subsequently included in a BBC documentary film about Phil Spector and more recently a tribute compilation CD titled "Phil's Spectre" on ACE Records.Contractual issues stalled the Cymbal/Rashkow writing partnership shortly thereafter, although in 1983 Cymbal and Rashkow reunited and wrote a number of songs for the Nashville market.
