Blackpool Mecca cover-ups 1974

[Pete S]

Anyone want to try and guess the Blackpool Mecca cover ups from January 1974?

Freddie Jones = Coasters

Little Lee Howell = Marc Copage

Roy Handy presumably Freddie Williams

Jimmy Conwell probably Freddy Butler?

Eddie Foster unbelievably this is the Barron Knights on Evolution

Casino Brothers = Casanova Two

End of the world = Sidra's theme

Levitations presumably Servicemen

 

[Chalky]

I thought Eddie Foster was Russ/Black Abbotts?

l bought Mickie Champion blind around this time, when it came and l played it, you would have thought l had won the pools.

No lottery in them days, l was jumping around my bedroom saying to myself over and over, l have got the Jodi Williams cover up!

The 1st time l found out about the other credits, was in Lee's Records in Miami in 79.

I was shocked to say the least, when the guy showed me them.

Black Ship to Hell by Johnnie Adams was another of Ian's cover ups at the Mecca, Breakaway instrumental.

[Pete S]

The unreleased vocal to Midnight Brew turned up a few years back.  It was Can't Turn You Loose or some similar old Stax tune.

[Gold Band]

Wasn't Richard Temple, Larry Atkins - Lighten Up Baby?

Black Ship to Hell - Johnny Adams Band.

Dave Godin record brought to the HR by his friend Alf Billingham  - Dave came  up with the title as it was a book he was reading.

Played by Colin.

I do recall hearing 'Coming Home Baby' by the Barron Knights a few times over the years - I wouldn't be surprised if someone didn't try it on as a cover up.

Wouldn`t the Johnnie Adams - Black Ship to Hell (Breakaway Theme -Steve Karmen) have been played off the  33rpm  Pontiac TV commercial promotional disk or was it found on the UA issue first?
