Britmusicsoulfan Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Hi All, I was going through some 45s downstairs when I found a couple mint Jackie Lee 45s, which got me wondering... Are Jackie's tapes in some legal limbo? I would've thought there would've been a legitimate compilation by now. Just curious. Thanks, everyone!

UK reissue company Acerecords own the tapes and there will be a CD of his solo works on the Kent label soon. Thanks Ady

Britmusicsoulfan Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 BillB, Cheers for that. I've got the Dance Favourites compilation, which does sound good, but the occasional LP background noise bugs me, so I'm definitely looking forward to the Ace compilation. BMSF Goldmine also put out a compilation (GSCD11) Jackie Lee - The Duck / Dance favourites 24 songs 1. The Duck - Jackie Lee, Nelson, Earl 2. Hully Gully - Jackie Lee, Goldsmith, Cliff 3.

billb Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Are these two different versions?? Also what about probably his best record 'Darkest days' Steve, I don't think Darkest Days was on Mirwood so didn't come out on the compilation CD. (ABC?) I'll do Anything - I think one may be an instrumental version? I'll check when I get home.
Benji Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 And of course the Goldmine CD had some misinformation on some songwriters, titles etc. did they at least have the rights to issue the tracks? Anyone?
Jerry Hipkiss Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Steve, I don't think Darkest Days was on Mirwood so didn't come out on the compilation CD. (ABC?) Don't know if Ady can answer this, but if (as I think) Darkest Days was leased to ABC would the rights have reverted to the producer and so be available for inclusion? There again, as it wasn't actually on Mirwood, I suppose that's academic...I'll get me coat...

There again, as it wasn't actually on Mirwood, I suppose that's academic...I'll get me coat... That's one we're investigating, but Fred Smith productions and Mirwood weren't neccessarily the same thing, Keymen was not part of Mirwood, as far as we can tell and those Fidels etc that came out should not have happened. As for Goldmine, I think they licensed the material from Simon Soussain; which, given the info on the other thread, would make you wonder why trust such a rogue!
Ady Croasdell Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Steve, I don't think Darkest Days was on Mirwood so didn't come out on the compilation CD. (ABC?) I'll do Anything - I think one may be an instrumental version? I'll check when I get home. I think this is the unreleased master really titled Anything You Want or sometimes titled Any Way You Want. It was written by Sherlie Matthews and until we put it out correctly on the first Volume of the Mirwood Story, she didn't get her songwriter royalties.

Thanks Bill B, Sorry, I didn't realise it was just his Mirwood recordings as there was no mention of it Steve
billb Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) Hope these help? Track 23 I'll do anything is the instrumental. Simon Soussain's name appears in the "special thanks." Edited February 10, 2009 by billb
