Misery

Posted

IMHO Darrow Fletchers "MY YOUNG MISERY" must rank as the most underplayed,under priced,bloody brilliant sound of all time.

He doesn't seem to have ever made a track which is other than superb.In this day of cd comps left right and centre I wonder why there is not one featuring Darrow Fletcher in his own right?

I believe he recorded at least 18 tracks...ample surely.

================================================

Been sayin that for years :D

Darrow was only a schoolboy when he started recording

and his early recordings are magic and then some

everything he,s done is pure poetry in my eyes totally

awesome one of the all time greats Oh the lyrics in gotta draw the line

Richard Barrett poetry Solid Hitbound Magic & Vocal sung with feeling

DARROW FLETCHER been in the Cunliffe Hall of Fame since the early 70,s !!!!

Never heard a lot of his stuff - apart from the obvious. Will try and check out the rest of it now - thanks guys!

Just been down the soul club jukebox. They've got about 10 Darrow Fletcher tunes on there. Absolutely awesome.

So glad about this post. Can you believe I've just heard "What Good Am I" for the first time? How could I have missed this!!! Stunned. Truly perfect Northern Soul.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

down a slippery spiral of despair !

Totally agree Ian - Gotta draw the line is IMO his best piece. Quite similar to Carl Hall - Mean it baby (which I am still hunting for so if anyone can supply me with a copy PM me) :D

Strange that this subject came up today, I've been doing some recording this week and couldn't decide whether to put "My Young Misery" or the flip "I've gotta know why" in the end both sides went on the CD.

Decide:

Nick

Many, if not most of his records got played on the 80s Mod scene.

Prices seemed to stay at £4 each for years on end.

Great artist with a wealth of fantastic tunes to his name. :)
