Mystery Track - Give It A Listen

Posted June 20, 200618 yr

For a bit of fun - what do you think of this? Anybody out there identify this 45? (I remembered that I included this track on a CD I mailed out to several people last year so those that have got this CD are barred from entering - laughs!)

Its dead slow but very atmospheric, think early/mid 60s New York beat ballads ala Ray Pollard, Chuck Jackson, Lou Johnson etc (well maybe sort of). The plot thickens because the singer shares the same name as another famous soul star, whether its the same bloke I'm not so sure? Plus its on a known label however when I checked the label listing a different release was asigned to this number. How bizarre. Not seen another copy on my travels but I aint pestered dealers for it either. Must be pretty obscure but as to rarity who knows? Label scan not included obviously hehehe. Its all good fun, derek

Grass.mp3

And no it's not for sale and I haven't got a few spares tucked away either just in case you were thinking......

no idea derek

voice does sound familiar but that means nothing.

very nice though

any more clues?

I got a clue Dan.

Think back to the CD swap that you coordinated in June last year. Dig out Derek's CD and listen to track 1

Any closer now?

bloody hell godz i can't remember what i listened to yesterday never mind last year (i'm fine with 20 years ago, weirdly)

To be fair, Dan, I only remembered because I pulled out a bunch of those CDs from the swap around two weeks ago. You and Derek both put William Hunt - Would You Beleive on the swaperoonies and that track has been a firm fave in our house lately.

Just re-checked Dave Rimmer's site to double check my facts.

The song I posted up is listed there as a 1964 release but under a different artists name. Mmm the plot thickens. Will post up a label scan end of the week.

onwards, derek

Defo got something, had my foot tapping even though it's a slow, deep track. Not called "Falling, falling star" or "I need you" by any chance :lol:

Very interesting that different release asigned to the number. Does it sound anything like the other soul star he shares the name with. Have you had it a long time? Wonder how you came across it.......

Jerry Jackson??????? :lol:

Fanfare of trumpets

Too right - very funny and clever defo (great clue) didn't help me though :lol: - noticed "Grass", but was unable to come up with anything on that one. Never guessed "Jesse James" - didn't sound anything like - but as you said Which J J !
