:lol::unsure::ohmy: And there was he, on saturday night, telling me what good taste he's got!!! :lol:

:lol: You must have been talking to someone else mate I have no taste :D

After seeing your DJ box even Butch should watch out.biggrin.gif

Eddie's version of Charlie Daniels' "Give This Fool Another Chance" has a classical southern soul mixture of organ, piano and chopped guitar behind which a finely wrought horn section adds weight and pressure to Eddie's tuneful baritone voice. The bridge is particularly well done - nice chord changes and some great shuffle drumming. Now you don't have to remortgage the house to hear it.

White country singer Daniels' own cut of this - as part of the recordings he made under one of his alter egos Billy Joe Young - was laid down in 1966/7 and I would assume that the producer on both the sessions, Ray Allen, recorded Eddie's version around the same time. It certainly sounds like it to me.

Sorry but I do prefer this side to the Just Your Fool.

One of my all time favourite records. Stafford/mid 80's spin for Guy Hennigan covered up as Tommy Claudia.

Chalky its strange how certain things jog your memory.I was at the Queens Hall Bradford when Guy sold this copy to Gary Spencer for £400.00.The record is pure "SEX"

The Copy I have is pressed off centre and the previous owner has cellotaped a modified centre in :unsure: to re align the record, Trouble is the tape covers much of the lable so not much chance of removing :ohmy:

Presume he was called Jay the tosser :huh:

I wonder if that's my problem with this record, I played Tony Smith's Darrow Fletcher WHIGN and seeing it off centre squared it up and the tune cast magical hypnotic spell on me to play at least once a day for the next 4 years and I am still trying to work out that sound in the background like a clip clap kickow sound is, I asked Darrow and he could not remember.

For some reason I always associate this and Andy Fisher on Fat Fish as a 'pair" if you will. I own neither and have had both on my wants lost for many years. (It has just occured to me what a waste of space I am :D ).

In my top twenty,

Yeah its off key in places but for me such a beautiful soulful record that just build and builds. Remember Guy playing Tommy Claudia and having a f&*k me what's this moment.
