Little Ann - Lean Lanky Daddy

[Premium Stuff]

Just wondering who has the original acetate(s) of Little Ann - Lean Lanky Daddy - what the whole story was on the find - what nick it/they are in etc etc etc.

One of the best Detroit northern records ever.

Is the current Kent 45 that's easily picked up the first legit release on vinyl - or was there an earlier version - 100 club or Kent anniversary 45 etc.?

Cheers

Richard

The Kent vinyl 45 is the only single, it's on a Finnish Timmion label LP now too

It will be the Kent 45 for me then - unless John wants to sell me the acetate

Presumably the Finnish LP is 'Deep Shadows'?

That's the one, their OC Tolbert looks good too.

Is it known whether this track was written with 'Long Tall Lean Larry Dean' in mind?

[Ady Croasdell]

Don't think so, it was written about Dave Hamilton according to Ann.

Remember Dave telling me(bashfuly)it was about himself Ady

[Amsterdam Russ]

That clears that one up then - thanks both

Yes..still got the Acetate

Managed to get it signed when Little Ann was on at Cleethorpes some years ago.

The acetate is in pretty decent nick overall but has a fault on the first 30 secs or so of Lean Lanky side which plays with an irritating tick.

Love the tune recorded on the flip " I Got To Have You"

Hi there is it spelt got or git as on the album i'm sure it say's I git to have you we have some more in stock in the next couple of weeks if anyone's intrested regards Simon.

[John Parker]

HI Simon

Definitely "Got" not "Git"

Remember having a discussion with Little Ann about the track as I preferred it at the time to Lean Lanky Daddy...I think she was as bit surprised , had a wry smile and signed the acetate "thank you john"

Hi John did she ever mention the unissued album left in the can ? I think she's passed on before it's release there's some great unissued track's on that album by any chance did she perform them at Cleethorpes ? regards Simon.

I think there had been some discussion at the time...cant remember now..maybe Ady can help out with what she performed..I seem to recall the impetus for talking about the I Got To Have you track was that she hadn't performed that one

No Ann didn't do I Got To Have You at Cleethorpes, it was considered too funky for the crowd at the time. It's meant to be the forerunner of One Way Street that came out on Ric Tic, heavily overdubbed. There's also a basic version of One Way Street on one of the CDs.

The LP was of course fictitious (until Timmion released it). It's extremely doubtful that Dave would have raised enough money to issue an LP, he struggled hard enough to get 45s out.

Hi Ady how are you on the tape can that Timmion used to do the album it say's little ann possible lp they should be with me any day I'll have a look at the sleeve note and let you know best regards Simon.

[Ady Croasdell]

I think the sleeve used some poetic license.

Yes Ady the old trick's of the trade I think it was just some unissued clonked together would have perhaps have been better by having a title like "Little Ann The unissued tapes " or something.All the best Simon.
