Andybellwood Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Have a spare, so priced to clear ... Gerry Dorsey 'baby turn around' (Hickory Promo) in near mint condition . Was c/u as Len Barry 'turn around' £50 thanks for looking Andy
Pete S Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Is that "the" Gerry Dorsey? Became Engelbert Humperdinck a few years later. Would love to hear this.
Pete S Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Must have come out on British then. I'd better check.
Pete S Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Interesting, it came out on UK Hickory so could have been recorded here for export?
Andybellwood Posted September 2, 2011 Author Posted September 2, 2011 Never released on British as far as i know, Think it was his 1st 45 Will try and find a sound clip
Gene-r Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Really odd this one. I've had a couple of his first two 45s as Gerry Dorsey on Parlophone, (released '59 and '61 - there was an earlier one on tri-centre Decca), but never realised that he had a single on Hickory. I imagine this would date from 1964 - 1965? As you say Pete, must have been recorded here for export, as I'm not aware of him having a career outside of the UK pre-Engelbert. Interesting to note that he also wrote one of my favourite childhood stories, Hansel & Gretel! Edited September 2, 2011 by Gene-R
Pete S Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Never released on British as far as i know, Think it was his 1st 45 Will try and find a sound clip Andy, it's definitely on British, Hickory 1337
Gene-r Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Andy, it's definitely on British, Hickory 1337 Which would date the UK and US to around Oct - Dec 1965.
Guest Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Andy, it's definitely on British, Hickory 1337 Yes i had one for a couple of weeks
Andybellwood Posted September 2, 2011 Author Posted September 2, 2011 Andy, it's definitely on British, Hickory 1337 Cheers Pete - yes just checked its Hickory 1337 , but says Nashville , Tenn. on white promo label
Andybellwood Posted September 2, 2011 Author Posted September 2, 2011 Cheers Pete - yes just checked its Hickory 1337 , but says Nashville , Tenn. on white promo label

Pete S Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Cheers Pete - yes just checked its Hickory 1337 , but says Nashville , Tenn. on white promo label That's where Hickory were based in the USA Andy, they all have that on them. They released a run of 45's in the UK distributed by Pye Records
Gene-r Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 That's where Hickory were based in the USA Andy, they all have that on them. They released a run of 45's in the UK distributed by Pye Records ....and all UK releases had the same release number as the US ones.
Anoraks Corner Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Another probable UK recording as this is Johnny as in Frankie & Johnny, plus it is produced by Johnny Harris. The track is a great mid-tempo mover with big vocal and wooly guitar work...written and also recorded by Dan Folger. Gained a UK release as well, I believe? Edited September 3, 2011 by Anoraks Corner

Interesting also that "I'll Hold You" was actually recorded by UK Decca for Hickory - it has an export number totally different to the main Decca numbering system.
