Simon M Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Please sell me yours! Thanks for looking. Sean Hampsey Is that the same Billy Jones on NIA
Sean Hampsey Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 Is that the same Billy Jones on NIA Might be Simon, but not sure. The Billy Jones I'm looking for passed away in 1982. I think the NIA release "I Can't Wait To Break" may have been 'slightly' later. Not sure though mate. Could be the same guy? Sean

He was an American GI, Ex Vietnman Vet, who eventually (via Germany) wound up in Holland. Now... for pity's sake, someone sell me the record (before they all want one!) Scan of the LP.... is here! All I need now is the real thing! Best Sean

Steve Plumb Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I'll keep holding on - billy jones - pink elephant?? 16445 refosoul Tried with this for ages, has its time come?? An old Blake Helliwell spin & a current Orwell spin methinks -where'd ya hear it Seany baby First heard it via a Yarmouth tryst between Dave Halsall & Ged Lunt! 45 is dead hard - LP crops up occasionally - last three on ebay have been snapped up by Orwellians Cheers Steve
Sean Hampsey Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 An old Blake Helliwell spin & a current Orwell spin methinks -where'd ya hear it Seany baby Steve Pretty sure it was on your recent CD Steve. Sent you an email about an hour ago to verify (and cadge a spare!). Should have known it was a Blake record. Quality mate! How much did the Wigan Warriors bag 'em for on eBay? Sean
Sean Hampsey Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 I'll keep holding on - billy jones - pink elephant?? 16445 refosoul Tried with this for ages, has its time come?? Hi Blake, Certainly not one for the masses. But a real cool, grower, I reckon. Did a compilation of recent CD tracks that I'd obtained for the trip down to Prestatyn and this one kept getting the 'repeat' treatment. Can I have one, please? Sean
Guest Bearsoul Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 sold a copy of the 45 at Prestatyn, may be able to get another, I was playing this at Steve Catos 'cool Off' about three years ago and played it at Greatstone which alerted the guys there , he was a Dutch citizen (his wife is still living there) yet I think American originally but different guy to US recording Artist. CD available through VOXPOPMUSIC.COM if they have any left. Liner notes will tell you all. \chris morgan

Fdsoul6345789 Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) Hi Sean, Indeed Billy Jones was in fact an Ex Serviceman that settled in the Netherlands and brought out some great tracks as for the track your after I may have a spare but don't hold your breath mate as I am not certain that I still have it. Was if my memory serves me well played at Yarmuff around five/six years ago in the lounge by Dave Halsall who put me on to it. Also there was a limited CD put out several years on a limited press by Harry of Hans and Harry fame that came over from Holland to Yarmuff to play the Lounge. I have a copy of this cd and is well worth tracking down. The vinyl LP has some nice tracks on of which are included in the CD. Being a vinyl nut as you know I have the vinyl album as well. All are well worth tracking down. I will have a good look for you on the racks at home to see if I still have a spare mate but I ain't promising anything. As for Mr Helliwell having good taste YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT. See ya both soon mates. BILLY JONES = BLUE ELEPHANT. I think the confusion comes from the fact that the label on some of the 45s are coloured PINK but the name on the label is BLUE ELEPHANT. fdsoul6345789 Edited March 21, 2007 by fdsoul6345789
