Ady Croasdell Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Was it first played from the Crestview LP, Jay Boy single or did Simon concoct a backing track acetate? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dayo Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 If memory serves, there was a small clutch of Mirwood instrumentals that all hit the scene around the same time - early '74? I'd always assumed that Soussan cut them to acetates after raiding Fred Smith's garage. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Andyf Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 What about the flip to Shirley Matthews- MySugar Baby? That's the same isn't it? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Was it first played from the Crestview LP, Jay Boy single or did Simon concoct a backing track acetate? link That was around way before Soussan got the Mirwood tapes...first played off the B & C album then released on Jayboy 1970-71 ???

Pete S Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 What about the flip to Shirley Matthews- MySugar Baby? That's the same isn't it? link It is, but thats a tailor made vocal from 75 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

It was 1973 on Jay Boy, the B&C album actually has the Bobby Garrett vocal, I think it's the US Crestview LP that has it as an instrumental. I need to know which way it was played first. Dave rimmer can you ask Max? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest enchantedrythm Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Crestview LP- before Jay Boy release-only I cant remember who. The lp's differed in most tracks didnt they? Couldn't have been Simon- he was still only just out of the Leeds? area with his 'profits'. The man for actual info on the genesis of Mirwood is a Nottingham guy who's name elludes me-got it Mick Gordon, friend of Jonathon, Andy Lee(RIP) and prob KRoberts, John Poole will prob knowhow to get in touch. He had Mirwood, the lot, in various guises,colours and acetates + serious info on the history etc hope that might help- but not Jay Boy- Did the l.p also get a release on Mirwood? or Mira? OR something from the states related to A Wright and friends???? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The Bob & Earls were two different ones on US Crestview the first of which contains My Little Girl and came out on B&C and Jay Boy. The second came out on Joy over here. I've found John Poole's details thanks. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
