looking for any info on Freda Payne...Easy street

Is it actually Freda ?, was it ever released ?, is it an LP track?, Acetate only?,

Any help would be great as i'm in the dark over this track, & i love it but where could i go to here it belting out of the speakers?

 

ATB....i just don't know

Think I'm right in saying its a Stafford tune, but again I could be wrong. On another note I will be up the crown on June1st. Take care......Rob

It was a Stafford spin for Keb Darge.

I'd like to own this Freda Payne LP .....the tracks were cut in Sweden in the 60's and Don Gardner's Band are backing her up on half the tracks (he did loads of shows over there in the 60's + recorded quite a few decent tracks there as well).

Most of the tracks he laid down there are only available on rare Swedish releases but USA Records picked up these cuts and put them out in the States after she hit for Invictus in 1970.

 

The LP cover picture alone is enough to make me want to own the album.

Fan bloody tastic Lionalonthevinyl, just bought one from the States, if it arrives in one piece, then i'll give it a spin at our next Pure Soul

 

Cheers...Rob

It's quite a poppy tune for Stafford thats why I was unsure......Rob

on an interesting note, while looking, there were a shed load of CD thingys, but only 2 LPs, one being a demo which didn't include On easy street, shame cos it$15 cheaper

Will have to find mine and put them up in Sales. Got a mint minus copy and one that's broken in two but still with the cover. Great for framing. The album also contains "Sad, Sad September" which is a stunningly haunting mid tempo gem as fas as I'm concerned.

The MGM lp was reissued without "On Easy Street" in the early 70s, in a different sleeve (It also came out in the UK on the 99p series of albums - again missing On Easy Street off).
