So two great legitimate sides for around a tenner or one bootleg song for no doubt more than a tenner? Tricky.
-
The flip is another unissued masterpiece from the CD 'How Can You Live Without Love' which you'd have to buy the Kent 45 for to get it on vinyl anyway.
-
Yes from the Kent CD, licensed from the Ray Charles Estate, so his family get's the royalties as does Darrow and the songwriters. We've licensed the previously unissued tracks for Europe, they were not available until the Kent CD which you should get as there are a lot of great issued and unissued tracks from this period of Darrow's career

Sorted now thanks for looking -
It's in the next batch now, so not until late summer depending on the pressing plant. It's a boot, not a so-called boot; if it was legit it would have credits, not even the songwriters get paid on that one.

Any chance of a loan of an Ex copy please? Flip of The Complete Man. Ta Ady
-
Done; I'm expecting a visit from the squad any time now
-
And can we throw "and then some" in at this stage of the proceedings and wrap it all up?
-
He knew it was a well-known black US phrase and adopted it for his own column.
-
Excellent work that man. Looks like it and the first I heard of it. I’ll ask David Nathan
-
Great timing, should be very fruitful and tell him there’s a crowd of Anoraks awaiting his every word
-
However they do a very different version of Chuck Berry’s ‘Come On’ I hardly recognised it when I eventually heard Chuck’s original
-
Funnily enough Dave was worried the Deep Soul Treasures would be a big flop and we’d lose on it; so much so that he refused to have a compilers fee for it. The series is just about our most successful commercially and artistically
-
I apologise in advance against that catastrophe. He liked a lot of uptempo sides, many of which were played on the Northern scene, and not just 60s classics - The Crow for Christ's sake - ahead of his time on that one.
-
And it would have been quite hard to buy I'm A King Bee unless you were a committed record buyer, plus people tend to like the first version of a song they hear first so Stones fans would actually prefer their version; Jagger knew Harpo's was better but their fans didn't and weren't into it enough to search out the original. People consume music at different levels and for different reasons.
-
Dave championed classics as well, he just didn't need to know it had charted to give his opinion. His Deep Soul Treasures are dotted with classics and he loved 'Band Of Gold' as much as Sandi Sheldon.
-
He adored the concept of working class teenagers adopting great uptempo soul tracks and dancing all night to them
-
He liked soul, there’s no musical style called Northern Soul. It would depend what the record was
-
No but there was one from Bessie Banks
-
Yes and not the Rita & The Tiaras version! The funeral was mainly organised by his communist landlord who was an eccentric in a different way. The service was good and Dave would have had a big part in it, knowing he was dieing, but the aftermath was a mess.
-
Acetate, same bunch as Ben E King. Nancy may have had a tape of that
-
Just compared Tone and it's the backing vocals that are different and it's about 12 seconds longer. The tape we used on the Kent LP-Footstompers or Floorshakers was a good one of the 45 version
-
Yes it was Dave Williams Stuart, i missed that in the book, need to get reading!
-
He certainly knew Jagger from the blues clubs around that area. An old blues collector remebers them all going to gigs together on the tube with Dave knitting!
