Dennisoul Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I found a female version of Johnnie Mae Matthews..I Have No Choice, on an acetate this morning in amongst the deepest crevice of my ever growing sh**e pile.... F**ked if I know why it was put there it`s gorgeous!! There`s a clip in refosoul which I`ve included below, the clip refers to it being Audrey Matthews...is it unissued? Any help would be appreciated. thanks, Andy
Pete S Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Andy - Johhnie Mae Matthews is a female version Audrey is her daughter or niece or something. It came out on a Kent cd and isn't a patch on JMM's version

It came out on a Kent cd and isn't a patch on JMM's version Wasn't it discovered not to be Audrey Matthews (who is JMM's daughter) and more likely the writer Sharon McMahon???

Guest Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Pete, who`s the male version by that I`ve heard? I`m very confused now Black Nasty? an album track. You were always confused Andy Derek

Sean Hampsey Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Black Nasty is a Male led group (more recent) Vocal version with different backing track. The Audrey Matthews / Sharon McMahon uses the same backing as Johnnie Mae Matthews... (Johnnie Mae being Female). Would be interested in seeing a scan of the Acetate. Sean

Sean Sean the acetate is just a studio cut, it`s not a 60s looking thing. Just a plain white label with a large centre hole. Andy
Dennisoul Posted November 3, 2008 Author Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) Think I`ve got me wires mixed up on this track. I`m a bit clearer now, for some reason I`ve been thinking JM Mattews was male.....I`ll just get me coat. Cheers for the help Andy Edited November 3, 2008 by Dennisoul
Prophonics 2029 Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Black Nasty - I Have No Choice - Never knew about this version different take.

Hammie Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Thought members of the band BLACK NASTY were JOHNNIE MAE MATTHEWS children or at least younger relatives, cant remember where I heard or read this ?
Benji Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Thought members of the band BLACK NASTY were JOHNNIE MAE MATTHEWS children or at least younger relatives, cant remember where I heard or read this ? yes relatives: kids, nephews, nieces, etc. JMM produced the album that their version of IHNC comes from.
Chalky Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 yes relatives: kids, nephews, nieces, etc. JMM produced the album that their version of IHNC comes from. Artwell Matthews Jr. (drums), Audrey Matthews (vocals), Mark Patterson (bass), Terrence Ellis (vocals), Thomas Carter (keyboards), Jackie Cosper (guitar)...
Guest Bearsy Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 was this ever booted or released on an album by either Johnnie Mae or Audrey, Bearsy
Chalky Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 was this ever booted or released on an album by either Johnnie Mae or Audrey, Bearsy Don't think there is a boot of Johnnie, wouldn't surprise me if someone has booted the Kent cd version that was credited to Audrey but in fact more than likely the writer Sharon McMahon.
Benji Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 was this ever booted or released on an album by either Johnnie Mae or Audrey, Bearsy JMM came out on a bootleg 7" EP in the early/mid 90s. Other tracks were Kenny Sheppard and Bobby Kline. Maybe a fourth track as well but can't remember.
Guest Leigh J Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Wasn't it discovered not to be Audrey Matthews (who is JMM's daughter) and more likely the writer Sharon McMahon??? Didnt know that I like it even more now. When I first had 'Two sided thing' on Big Hit years and years ago I thought it was a geezer too!
Bully Boy Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 was this ever booted or released on an album by either Johnnie Mae or Audrey, Bearsy Audrey Matthews version was put out by Ady on a Kent CD, a couple of years ago. The Johnnie Mae Matthews cut originally on Big Hit, was booted along with three other tunes. I do have a copy somewhere in my shite pile.....(Hey Andy...I know what you mean) I think that the record also has three other big tunes from that time. But cannot think for the life of me what they are ...... I will have a dig in the shite. The label is navy blue and I think is called Vintage or something like that......will report back later after a trawl.. BEST Bully

Guest Bearsy Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Thanks all for the info so Audreys version was never released on a legit 7" vinyl whats the value of JMM on Bit Hit thanks again Bearsy
Guest Leigh J Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) £700 - £800 Edited January 11, 2009 by Leigh J
Chalky Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Thanks all for the info so Audreys version was never released on a legit 7" vinyl whats the value of JMM on Bit Hit thanks again Bearsy There are four on popsike from July to October last year, $655, $708, $765 and $1085. At todays conversion rate that would make it approx £430 to £712. There was loads of copies about a while back and was very indemand.
