Hi everyone

I've puzzled over the Jackie Harris release "Don't Worry 'Bout De Back Door" on Inter/Soul #102. This came out in 1974 according to the label.

I always thought it strange that this was released so late in the day, given that it has a real mid-60s sound.

It was of course previously released by Jackie Harris on Chess #1946 but titled "No Kind Of Man" - around 1965.

The tracks seem at least similar, if not identical.

Anyone got any more info please, and can anyone explain the strange 9-year gap between the two releases, or the change of song title and credits?

Plus, was it recorded in Chicago, Detroit, or elsewhere?

Cheers

Richard

Here's the track. Anyone got any thoughts on the questions above please?

Cheers

Inter/Soul was a Detroit based label owned Ernest Kelly. He put out a mixture of new and older material a fair few tracks were re-mixes of older material.

jackie harris owned and operated the black and proud label while he was here in minnesota in the late 60's working as a radio dj at kuxl, we just had him back here not too long ago for a concert, he's still around and i believe living in ohio, maybe you can track him down and ask him!

Interesting - so that would probably place him in Minnesota in between the Chess release and the Inter/Soul release (although, if the Inter/Soul release is identical then presumably that was just run off the original master tapes?).

Hi Rob

Yes, it has the instrumental on the other side - fabulous track isn't it.

Some people describe it as funk - but it sounds blues or at least R&B to me - whatever, it's top-drawer

Imagine how cool and laid back the session would have been when they put the track down.

Yeah had it a few years now and goes down well at RnB venues when I get a chance to dj!

In the blues tradition especially the lyrics...the old lady messing about and all that

Have a good xmas

The Inter/Soul copy is quite crackly, in the background, right from the start.

Anyone know if it was just dubbed from a vinyl Chess copy - or if that was even the kind of thing those guys got up to at that time?

Cheers
