Guest Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Bit of easy info needed- whats on the flip of the 7" of 'Hurting" on Kool Kat ? I know it's one of the other tracks on the 12" E.P. but can't remember which. Also, was it the only 7" from the E.P. ? Ta ! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Peter Richer Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Simon - The B side has: 1. My Baby Ain't No Plaything - Willie Jones, and 2. In The Pocket - Detroit Strings Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Thanks Peter- I think the fact it was two tracks on the 'b' that threw me. Does anyone know aything about the Denise And The Devotions" track "Shy Guy" on the 12" ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Rob Moss Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I don't think the original tape box had names on it, thus the imaginative moniker! It did come out by the Willows on MGM as"My kinda guy" written by Robert Selig and Eddie Reeves not the 'Fletcher' on the Kool Kat release. Similar tempo and a good dancer.

Guest Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Cheers Rob-I knew the song and couldn't place it. I have a feeling there's another version too somehow. I love "Outside The City " by The Willows. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Brilliant thank you folks, I knew it was familiar, I've got the bloomin' thing on the red vinyl 12" LP Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Speedlimit Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 the denise & the devotions track shy guy was originally played as pat lewis the cut on the 12" is of poor quality and finishes a good ten seconds before the cut of the track I have Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Triode Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 What's the story on "in the pocket" remember Guy playing it and always thought it was the business but what's the story..........? Popcorn Wylie maybe Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Thorley Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 While on the subject of the band, found this the other day down my mum's. From an acetate Popcorn gave me many years ago, 'Get off the streets ya'll'. 1min longer than the Soulhawk 45 and with partial vocals. Popcorn really goes for it on piano in his typically 'honky tonk' style, enjoy............................ 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Nickinstoke Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I think the black vinyl copies had one B side track but the red vinyl had two Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mick Holdsworth Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I think the black vinyl copies had one B side track but the red vinyl had two Nope. Huh? My 7" only has one track on the flip, Willie Jones. Never heard of a 7 inch two track, only the three track, on both red and black vinyl. You are talking about the 7" Kool Kat release Kool 5, aren't you? Can you post a scan of this please. Cheers Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Nickinstoke Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 My mistake, checked the shelves, both got 3 tracks. So anyone know what I was thinking of - I'm sure there's a UK 45 with a 2 track/1 track flip? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I just couldn't remember the Detroit Strings track!! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 There's no strings on the Detroit Strings track brilliant instrumental but I just call it the Detroit Rhythm Section Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Neil Rushton Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Thanks Peter- I think the fact it was two tracks on the 'b' that threw me. Does anyone know aything about the Denise And The Devotions" track "Shy Guy" on the 12" ? Tape box came with no names on it. My partner's girflfriend was named Denise - hence Denise And The Devotions. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

purist Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 It's always been in my mind that these 'nearly' instrumentals (In The Pocket, Backstreets, etc) were forerunners of "karaoke for artists", so they could take an acetate of them to a club and audition without the clubs live band having to be there. I cannot think of any other reason to have some backing tracks that are not the exact same as the released song (unless they were 'try outs', but then that wouldn't explain how they ended up being found where they were found I'm full of crackpot theories, and this is just one. I should have worked on X-Files or Warehouse 13 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
