Anyone want to try and guess the Blackpool Mecca cover ups from January 1974?

Freddie Jones = Coasters

Little Lee Howell = Marc Copage

Roy Handy presumably Freddie Williams

Jimmy Conwell probably Freddy Butler?

Eddie Foster unbelievably this is the Barron Knights on Evolution

Casino Brothers = Casanova Two

End of the world = Sidra's theme

Levitations presumably Servicemen

 

I thought Eddie Foster was Russ/Black Abbotts?

No lottery in them days, l was jumping around my bedroom saying to myself over and over, l have got the Jodi Williams cover up!

The 1st time l found out about the other credits, was in Lee's Records in Miami in 79.

I was shocked to say the least, when the guy showed me them.

Black Ship to Hell by Johnnie Adams was another of Ian's cover ups at the Mecca, Breakaway instrumental.

The unreleased vocal to Midnight Brew turned up a few years back.  It was Can't Turn You Loose or some similar old Stax tune.

Wasn't Richard Temple, Larry Atkins - Lighten Up Baby?

Black Ship to Hell - Johnny Adams Band.

Dave Godin record brought to the HR by his friend Alf Billingham  - Dave came  up with the title as it was a book he was reading.

Played by Colin.

No Larry Atkins  had been around a couple of years by this time and not covered up..

 

Another one from Ians adds was Thump Time, the Righteous Brothers Band. Anyone know what that was? Always wondered.

" Give me lots of lovin " would be Willie Kendrick ,as Freddie Butler wasn't discovered until much later .

I do recall hearing 'Coming Home Baby' by the Barron Knights a few times over the years - I wouldn't be surprised if someone didn't try it on as a cover up.

Wouldn`t the Johnnie Adams - Black Ship to Hell (Breakaway Theme -Steve Karmen) have been played off the  33rpm  Pontiac TV commercial promotional disk or was it found on the UA issue first?
