Blackpool Mecca cover-ups 1974


Pete S

Recommended Posts

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

Jodi Williams - Mickey Champion

l bought Mickie Champion blind around this time, when it came and l played it, you would have thought l had won the pools.

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!

Was released on Trip as The Still Life and 6 Pak as well as Melvin Carter at least ...

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.

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

Wasn't there a carver of Freddie Butler played at wigan as Ed Wingate before it's later release on pied piper? From the Dab Of Soul LP

Thats the one I meant lol

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?
