Whats the story behind the Johnny Taylor " Blues in the Night" and Otis Redding " loving by the pound" on the flipside..

 

On Blue Stax 589008... Was this a legit release or not???? When did it come out???

Booted, on the back of Terry Davies Championing both sides at Prestwich in it's heyday, both were only commonly known as album tracks, JT subsequently surfaced on a couple of euro releases,

 

That's how I remember it anyway,

Only released on French Atlantic (650 147) nice bright yellow label plus picture sleeve "b" side Watermelon Man, Don't know of any other legit 7" single releases.

Also a 7" EP p/s origin escapes me,

You're right Pete there was talk of an Ep think that was supposed to be French also but could have easily been mistaken for the single because of the picture sleeve.

I've got the French Stax JT EP. It has same front pic sleeve as the JT reissue / boot whatever. The Stax French JT is a bit low fi (well more just low volume) compared to the French Atlantic one.

Lovin' by the pound, also appeared on Kent's stunning "Do the Crossover" CD from 1993.

Both this and "Let's Crossover Again" were fabulous sets,despite their cheesy names,

containing rare and unreleased Stax/Volt group tracks.

Bout time Adey got his finger out and "Crossed Over Again,Again" (please).

Loads of stuff they could put out on them,including the wonderfully throbbing "Blues in the night".

This tunes real deep down in your bones base groove,fab!
