Bit of easy info needed- whats on the flip of the 7" of 'Hurting" on Kool Kat ? I know it's one of the other tracks on the 12" E.P. but can't remember which. Also, was it the only 7" from the E.P. ? Ta !

Simon - The B side has:

1. My Baby Ain't No Plaything - Willie Jones, and

2. In The Pocket - Detroit Strings

Thanks Peter- I think the fact it was two tracks on the 'b' that threw me. Does anyone know aything about the Denise And The Devotions" track "Shy Guy" on the 12" ?

I don't think the original tape box had names on it, thus the imaginative moniker! It did come out by the Willows on MGM as"My kinda guy" written by Robert Selig and Eddie Reeves not the 'Fletcher' on the Kool Kat release. Similar tempo and a good dancer.

Cheers Rob-I knew the song and couldn't place it. I have a feeling there's another version too somehow. I love "Outside The City " by The Willows.

Brilliant thank you folks, I knew it was familiar, I've got the bloomin' thing on the red vinyl 12" LP

the denise & the devotions  track shy guy was originally played as pat lewis the cut on the 12" is of poor quality and finishes a good ten seconds before the cut of the track I have  

What's the story on "in the pocket" remember Guy playing it and always thought it was the business but what's the story..........?           Popcorn Wylie maybe

While on the subject of the band, found this the other day down my mum's. From an acetate Popcorn gave me many years ago, 'Get off the streets ya'll'. 1min longer than the Soulhawk 45 and with partial vocals. Popcorn really goes for it on piano in his typically 'honky tonk' style, enjoy............................

 

 

Always loved this - and its pin money to get a copy:

Huh? My 7" only has one track on the flip, Willie Jones.

I think the black vinyl copies had one B side track but the red vinyl had two

Nope.

Never heard of a 7 inch two track, only the three track, on both red and black vinyl. You are talking about the 7" Kool Kat release Kool 5, aren't you?

 

Can you post a scan of this please.

 

Cheers

My mistake, checked the shelves, both got 3 tracks. So anyone know what I was thinking of - I'm sure there's a UK 45 with a 2 track/1 track flip?

Nope.

Sorry, my bad. I checked my copy.  I just couldn't remember the Detroit Strings track!!   

There's no strings on the Detroit Strings track 

brilliant instrumental but I just call it the Detroit Rhythm Section

Tape box came with no names on it. My partner's girflfriend was named Denise - hence Denise And The Devotions.

That was my sense of humour....

I never found out how that came from Richard Wylie. 

It's always been in my mind that these 'nearly' instrumentals (In The Pocket, Backstreets, etc) were forerunners of "karaoke for artists", so they could take an acetate of them to a club and audition without the clubs live band having to be there.

I cannot think of any other reason to have some backing tracks that are not the exact same as the released song (unless they were 'try outs', but then that wouldn't explain how they ended up being found where they were found

I'm full of crackpot theories, and this is just one. I should have worked on X-Files or Warehouse 13
