Labeat Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Hi Pervis Lee-You Don't Care......LP only................brilliant & I want one Cheers Martyn I was praising this last year on here Martyn, i was shocked at the negative responses 50 copies were booted by one of those European dealers recently (single)
Geeselad Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 that's nice, its got a great loose feel to it, but the band can really play, jazzers on their day off, I guess.
Roburt Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Recorded at Arthur Smith's studio in Charlotte, NC. Smith was a C&W musician who had been writing hit songs since the mid 40's. He opened his studio in Charlotte in 1957. The likes of Pat Boone, Ronnie Milsap, Johnny Cash & loads of country artists cut there, however James Brown recorded "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" there in June 65. The fact that JB cut a big hit there probably led other soul singers (such as Pervis Lee) to use the studio. Think the Pervis Lee track dates from 69 and it was issued on a UK (maybe US) pressed 45 not too long back. Edited March 16, 2015 by Roburt 1

Cheers Martyn

So the recent 45 reissue is a boot ? I guessed as it was a legal issue as it was what appears to be his own label Lee Way ..... maybe not ? Certainly the LP is ultra rare (£300+) A great track none the less and fairly unique , I love it . Edited March 17, 2015 by Slim Jim 1
John Moffatt Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 This is brilliant, never head it before. What's the title of the LP? Anyone know?
Guest son of stan Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Never heard that before. Fantastic! Thanks for posting!
Quinvy Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Kill me now. Monotonous dirge. I could write a better song myself. 1
Guest johnny hart Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Kill me now. Monotonous dirge. I could write a better song myself. DITTO.
Labeat Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Never heard that before. Fantastic! Thanks for posting! You certainly do know a good new tune when you hear it, take no notice of the hecklers "Son" (and you Martyn & John) Edited March 18, 2015 by Labeat

It's caused a storm Jim, some bloke somehow doing the underhand thing and having some pressed up, no way will he have approached the right authorities in the States just to get permission to have 50 copies legally done
KevH Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Kill me now. Monotonous dirge. I could write a better song myself. Right place right crowd,it works Phil. Lets have a snippet of your lyrics . 2
Labeat Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Right place right crowd,it works Phil. Lets have a snippet of your lyrics . It sounded damn good at Burnley last Sat Kev
Quinvy Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 It sounded damn good at Burnley last Sat Kev It would never have been played at the old Burnley.
Labeat Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 It would never have been played at the old Burnley. Well, thats bully boy tactics, it's still sounded good, the floor was packed to it

I bought a copy of this a while back for £8 and was under the impression it was a legal issue , played it out and it went down a storm . Ah well back on the shelf it goes to be played only in the living room ...darn ! Thanks for the info

nickp Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Two issues of the lp Pervis Lee -Leeway and Pervis Lee -Himself. The last couple on Ebay have gone for around £280, I've watched them longingly as they soared out of my budget. An outstanding piece of music, dripping with soul , poignant lyrics, a superb jazz break as opposed to a boring sax riff so prevalent in many soul tunes.

Corbett80 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Pretty sure the Himself LP mentioned Pervis' teenage son played bass! Rest of the LP was naff btw, this stood out by a country mile. Edited March 19, 2015 by corbett80
Corbett80 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Kill me now. Monotonous dirge. I could write a better song myself. You should do that - you could post it up here and we could all add stuff to it and maybe someone could do a backing track to it? 1
Pete S Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Kill me now. Monotonous dirge. I could write a better song myself. I would think your version would be better than the original Phil, that was truly terrible. 1
Quinvy Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I would think your version would be better than the original Phil, that was truly terrible. Sometimes it's hard to believe we are all into the same music Pete. But that's what makes the world go round I guess.
Guest Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 You should do that - you could post it up here and we could all add stuff to it and maybe someone could do a backing track to it? And i`ll get me "Spoons an washboard" backing tracks CD out and find something to fit
Corbett80 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Acetates cut for only the best jocks to spin - until the inevitable booting!
Labeat Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Getting dafter this thread, can we call a truce and say Pervis Lee is liked by 50%, disliked by 40% and 10% undecided? 2
Guest Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I think it`s excellent!.........wouldn`t be good if we all liked the same thing now would it.
Pete S Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Getting dafter this thread, can we call a truce and say Pervis Lee is liked by 50%, disliked by 40% and 10% undecided? That sounds sensible to me. 1
Labeat Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I think it`s excellent!.........wouldn`t be good if we all liked the same thing now would it. Pardon, if we all liked the same thing it's got to be good Problem is, i can't think of a record ALL of us like
