Dave Thorley Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Hi guys What can you tell me about this couldn't find it listed anywhere, value ?, ever been played etc George Jackson-Blinkity blink/there goes my pride-Dot 45-16724 Thanks Dave
Garethx Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) Very interesting Dave. I'd say it was the Memphis George Jackson (of Aretha, Sing One For Me fame) rather than the white guy on Mercury. Don't think it's on any of the discographies as yet, but have heard rumours of another record by him existing: this is presumably it. What's the other side like? Edited March 31, 2009 by garethx
Sebastian Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Very interesting Dave. I'd say it was the Memphis George Jackson (of Aretha, Sing One For Me fame) rather than the white guy on Mercury. Don't think it's on any of the discographies as yet, but have heard rumours of another record by him existing: this is presumably it. What's the other side like? It is mentioned in both Dot and George Jackson discographies but I've never heard it. Nice tune! Are the mid-50s releases on Atlantic and RPM by a third George Jackson?
gonerrecords Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Nice jam. Don't remember coming across a copy around here.
Dave Thorley Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 Hi All Would guess it is the same guy as the HI, Muscle Shoals, etc recordings. Someone is sending me a interview with him tonight that may shed a little more light. Dave
Soulfreak Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) It is mentioned in both Dot and George Jackson discographies but I've never heard it. Nice tune! Are the mid-50s releases on Atlantic and RPM by a third George Jackson? Yes, Dot 45 def by the Memphis George Jackson. The flip, a lovely deep track, is more soulful. The mid-50's sides you mentioned are not by Memphis George Jackson. Yes, PM-ed Dave and told him I interviewed George a good few years back down in Jackson Miss for Juke Blues magazine and we talked about his early recordings. I'll dig out the article when I get home tonight and post the relevant section on here. Martin. Edited March 31, 2009 by Soulfreak
Soulfreak Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) I've attached the relevant page in The George Jackson Article in Juke Blues from 2002. Afraid I only mention the deep flip... Martin.George_Jackson_40_.bmp Edited March 31, 2009 by Soulfreak
Dave Thorley Posted April 2, 2009 Author Posted April 2, 2009 I've attached the relevant page in The George Jackson Article in Juke Blues from 2002. Afraid I only mention the deep flip... Martin. Hi Martin Thanks for that, fills in a few gaps in the info and a nice artical. Dave
Soulfreak Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Hi Martin Thanks for that, fills in a few gaps in the info and a nice artical. Dave No problem Dave. I'm a serious George Jackson fan, so delighted when anyone brings him up for discussion. Martin.
Anais nin Carms Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Just heard Pat Bleasdale play this on he Dab of soul podcast what a great sound !
Marc Forrest Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 yes, the great George Jackson from Memphis. Old Thorsten Wegener (aka puresoul) spin from Hamburg. Took me a good few years to get hold of one too ( well, dave LOL). Seen a few slipping thru ebay since then not being listed as Soul hence at a very VERY low price...lowest ever was a buy it now 5 USD..AND I MISSED IT as it was the day after a Hip City LOL I highly recommend his Doro and Dar-Cha 45s as well by the way. Marc

Picky Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 I saw Craig Moerer sold George Jackson's 45 from Dot label on the ebay about 6 months ago and it went up over $500. I am going to list my copy on the ebay in due course.
boba Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 I have a question about something Garethx said above (in 2009). He said that the other George Jackson was White. Is that true? I know there was an east coast George Jackson, the guy who recorded on Double R / Cameo (backed by the Jive Five) but never heard that he was White. Soul Harmony Singles says that he is also the guy on Mercury and that he was in the Plants on J&S. I don't think he was white.
Dean Rudland Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 The Dot single was recorded by the same producer - Dorothy Hester - as his Doro single, and is from around the same time.
