 HI ALL....Only one problem with the EP, is that it's at half the volume of the 45 issue, why this is so & how it got through quality control is a mystery a long version is on the ASTRA LP NEW RELIGION, but not on all copies, got a brilliant B side on the 45  PICCADILLY 7N 35331 "I don't want to cry" makes this a must have item.  DAVE K

It's the british EP which plays low. The french EP plays quite loud and clear and high quality for an EP. The other two french EPs taken from New Religion LP are brilliant too and with exclusive 7" tunes only availble in those EPs.

had come to me softly on piccadilly demo, its a very different cut to the new religion lp version, almost acoustic

 HI ALL...For those people who like Jimmy James "come to me softly" he first did a cut on the famous WIRL LABEL in 63? it is nice but not as good as the later soulful version that was recorded at PYE STUDIOS in 65 released on PICADILLY, & also on MARBLE ARCH mal 823 - "this is Jimmy James" - Jimmy James & the Vagabonds 5star LP.

A must have LP to own if you want a classic lp with great soul, tracks are side 1 - come to me softly, I feel alright, I don't wanna cry, I cant get home to my baby, ain't love good, ain't love proud.  side 2. never like this before, no good to cry, you showed me the way, little boy blue. hi diddly dee dum dum,  I can recommend this LP, & all his music, many gems still to get proper exposure, like the flip side of "red red wine", I have also put up the Hortense Ellis (Alton Ellis sister) "i'll come softly", R&B JB- 101, A hard one to find, in a original R&B DISC PROMO SLEEVE. (I kid you not) they only made 1 per record, the value of both versions by JJ on 45s & the LPs are hard to value, as is the R&B 45.However much you pay these records are rare and you should not leave them once seen  DAVE K

Two to look out for on Piccadilly by J.James are 'Water' & 'If You Knew'. Both great Northern type tunes. 'If You Knew' is another version of the Ebony Keyes. 

 

EDIT: Doh! How thick am I, i've just realised those 2 tracks are by Geno Washington on Piccadilly!!  

I had the J.James EP with 'This Heart Of Mine' but NO cover/sleeve so when I got the 45 I traded the E.P on as sound was low.

There's a great version of I"ll Come Softly by "Heather" on UK King, updates Hortense Ellis' version, very very obscure, sold one the other day for £40.

I could swear that the R&B sticker on the Hortense Ellis sleeve looks photocopied?

I bought the Jimmy James LP on Marble Arch when I was a kid and fell in love with 'No Good To Cry', later bought on a US Atco 45.

Great track.

Paul, I bought the 'New Religion' original LP when I was a kid (& yet I still look years younger than you !?!?).

[Guest Paul]

Hello John, you must have had an easy life!  I don't know how old you are but can you remember "old money" and "the hit parade" and the "swinging sixties" and things like that???

I'm 56 now but I can pass for 55 in the dark.

 

So I'm told.
