Hi Chris

Obviously Jimmy was more than 'Long after tonight is all over', but on the UK Northern Soul Scene its adopted as 'legend status' and always will be. Most fans know it word for word as I am sure you know when its played at a soul night. Are there any plans to make a cd of his 'greatest work'?

Hi Ed,

Yes, There Are Plans For Such A Project, Though They Keep Changing. At Present I'm Working On A CD Of His Best Acoustic (Just Him And His Guitar) Tracks. I Think A Compilation Of All His Known Released Sides: Musicor, Aurora, Shout, UA & RCA Added With The Sides He Released Under Other Names Or Added Prominent Counter Lead Or Backing Vocals Will Most Likely Be Next Up. Most People Don't Know About Those Latter Tracks And Are Often Amazed To Hear Of His Involvement. Case In Point Is The Big Northern Record "Cover Girl" - "Progress" From Carl Spencer (One Of Jimmy's Many Writing Partners) Features His Backing Vocals On "Progress".

Will Keep You Posted As To The 'Progress' I'm Making Getting These Discs Out.

Cheers
