All apart from my bit about the ‘I Can’t Hide It’ demo in Dave Hamilton’s tapesss c- it was a different but similar song when I checked. Nice demo of ‘My Sweet Baby’ on there though
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The lyrics to She Loves You were perfect for the song and the times. Get Dylan to write them and the recording would be worse.
Music or lyrics, a songwriter gets nothing for writing a song (unless they’re staff writers on a wage or get advances by against future sales) until the first cent/penny has been generated because of it.
The demo may have been sent to Dave, I’ll check the tape box for more info. I doubt the final recording was done at Dave’s. Maybe Hattie Leeper brought them up to Detroit for the sound. As a DJ she would probably have connections there
Not definitely, Dave worked with people from around the country on occasion. It may just be a demo he was sent, though I have a feeling it was with some others, I’ll check on Monday. It may have bee ln his studio but unlikely as it was his small home studio by then I think
The Jubilee sides are both Hattie Leeper’s Chattlee publishing like most of the other Appreciations sides. The ‘It’s Better To Cry’ 45 sides are New York production teams - Phil Medley producing one and publishing both. Blake and Nieves were his NYC writers
That was Val Palmer
Eve was a 100 Club and Stafford regular in the 80s. She ran some nights in or near Bristol late 90s/early 00s. I guest DJed for her
Any kind soul got a copy they could send me an MP3 of the flip only please? 'In The Back Of My Heart' condition is irreleveant as long as I can hear it. A couple of new 45s for your trouble.
Cheers

They didn’t use the male demo of bc Carla Thomas I’ll Never va Stop Loving You; probably because they don’t know who it is or who wrote it - likely to be the same person
