Vely nice :-)

So, was it really a UK release then? Or perhaps, a UK pressing for export to Jamaica?

Hi Robb, Do you mean they were reissues released during the early 60s of records originally released earlier? Or they were reissues of records previously released on Chess during the early 60s?

Dave, can you post up a scan of the BIG JAY McNEELY ON A RED & BLACK SUE LABEL?

I thought so too Dave, until I heard it on a podcast on the online Jester Wild Show. It's not been slowed down, or speeded up, just sounds different.

Are there two different versions of this? Perhaps different labels?

Any info would be useful.

Thanks Derek. I haven't found it on that site yet but I've sent Erl a copy of the scan so he can either tell me he what label it belongs to, or he can put it on his Mystery Sleeves listing.

No worries Chris, you got back to me eventually, that's all that matters. You also answered my next question, which was going to be how it went from 'i' to 'y'. Thanks, that was interesting.

Where DID it come from?

Or possibly Steinway & Sons?

Could be. But I thought I'd see if anybody out there recognises it?

Yes, it's a grand piano. Don't know what the clue is though? Possibly a classical music label? But I don't think they normally do 45s?

Does anybody know which record label this sleeve belongs to?

Thanks ever so much garethx, I bought that Lp and I arrived home today to find it had arrived earlier in the week. I've just played it, the whole LP, and I'm absolutely chuffed with it ALL, not just the track this thread is all about. I'm off to play it again. Brilliant. Anybody who's not listened to an Lp by this guy, do yourself a favour and do so, he's awesome.

Honestly, I'm not getting at you but why did you think it necessary to make this statement? Did / do you think it was an unworthy record then / now?

Why don't you get the DJs from these venues to tell you whether or not it was played. A lot of records that are considered not so great now sounded great then, especially at 3am in the middle of nowhere, high on whatever took your fancy. I have a copy on the original Pye label but that's cos I'm a 'Collector' who's always liked the record, quite possibly for the reasons described in the latter part of the last sentence.

Interesting. Spotted a UK release on MGM. Must be one of the mid 70s re-issues?

Hi Garethx, So this defo has "I Can't Make It Anymore" on it?

Mixed Bag? Is that the title of the Lp?

My Dad (RIP) used to love Richie Havens. He was on UK TV shows quite a bit in the past. He also loved Lowell Fulsom, (also named Fulson). James Brown and Jimmy Smith too. A real kool kat my Dad on the quiet. :-) Oh, and Mose Allison as well.

But can anybody confirm that it DID come out on a UK Verve Lp?

I decided to give up on the little known fact that this record came out on a UK Verve Lp. Or so I thought. I haven't found one yet. Mind you, I haven't really tried that hard. Can anybody confirm that it DID in fact come out on a UK Verve Lp? Anyhow, just a couple of weeks back, I decided to track down a copy on US Verve Folkways and already I've got competition. If you find two Pete, let me know and I'll do likewise.

I think my Chess copy maybe an issue Joe but I can't check until the weekend. As for an Alteen Demo? I've never seen one now you mention it.
