    This is long overlooked , maybe cos it's a fiver !!! 

    Just superb. 

     

    This is like a review of records I used to own. I had the LP with the original? version of "we gotta keep on" and "tonight I'm gonna see my baby" Freddie Hughes was one half of the cassanova II,as you probably know?

    Thanks for the additional info on Rick Cooper and Swan records. Remember my early days buying records when they issued "The Spy" Guys from Uncle massive at the time, as we said earlier how times and tastes change!!

    Sounded the business on that big old system at Culcheth, not forgetting the flip "it will be done" which had spins at the Casino and the guy who was responsible for the UK release on Cream Mr Rick Cooper is also a regular at The Ukrainian Club, wonder if he has any background on the release?  

    Spoke to Rick Cooper and he provided a fascinating insight people may or may not know Rick was the man responsible for the UK Cream Label in the mid 70s which released James Fountain Four Perfections and many more. We asked about the Eddie Carlton "it will be done" release which doesn't have "misery" on the flip, instead an instrumental of "it will be done" on the flip as the Swan tapes they had at Global records where Rick worked, included instrumental versions , which were a big thing at the time at places like Wigan Casino and "Misery" was not considered anything special at that time(how tastes change)   

    They were lucky enough to find a machine owned by an ex BBC sound engineer and were able to convert the tapes to vinyl . A Piece of soul history I knew nothing about and hats off to Rick for being kind enough to share with me and Simon. I'm sure we won't be hearing the instrumental to "Misery" on the 19th will we Simon?? haha

    Cracking mover from Johnny Guitar Watson - his only recording on JOWAT which looks like a play on his name?

    Some further research required methinks - unless anyone can shed some light on it????

     

    Deffo has to be a play on his name

    Finally tracked the elusive Jordan Wilson down between his gallivanting around the country and got him to scribble down some of his current spins. As he's become known for featuring the old and the new, I was particularly please to see this wonderful, late Lowton featured spin in there...

           

    Killer dancer from that opening guitar intro!!

    Yep - happy to bow down to Johns choice, fantastic track which goes back to the 90s when Shifty played it covered up as Lou Pride. One that sounds so right for the scene today too with that messy edge and great horn section.......

    Love it mate!!
