Andy Rix

Do you have a link to the online interview ??

This is an old story that keeps getting recycled .... It has been said previously that the songs were recorded in 1968. Shrine was dead by 68 and Eddie was living in L.A. Frances won her Motown talent contest in June 65 .. recorded 'Keep On Loving Me' on 2 Nov 65 the Soul 45 was released on 11 Mar 66 ... Shrine was slowly disintegrating through the summer of 66 and had closed down by the end of that year ... then Miss Ray and Eddie went to Detroit We know they recorded Gino Parks in Detroit and then got a release with 'Nerves Of Steel' on Crazy Horse in Sept 68 .. and it might be that they did something with Frances in Detroit after her Motown career failed to take off .... but no way would she have gone to D.C. in 66 just after getting her first 45 released ... that would have been career suicide. So .. I don't believe there is any connection to Shrine. I have never found any song with this title by Eddie or connected to him, Andy

Well the pics would be nice to see .. a table top book sounds like an option

My recollection .. Norma Jenkins - Come On And Take My Love ... a George Kerr tune scheduled for release on ABC .. but it never happened .. she did get an ABC release on her duet with Troy Keyes in '68 George had a very long association with Norma starting during his time working at the NY Jobete office with Miss Ray where she was used as a singer for demo recording which included 'Try Love (One More Time)' .. which he co-wrote with Sidney Barnes and gained a release via The Sparkels on Old Town.. and of course 'The Airplane Song' (Maltese) & 'Can You Imagine That' ( Desert Moon) which was a big 70s spin .. plus other GK associated releases Where is she now ?

I don't think he has either Andy

I thought it was credited as well. .. when I got it out obviously realised it wasn't

It's a 10" acetate ..still got it here Andy

Karen Hallam and Caron Brooks.. now Caron Franks.. proper partners in crime

When did Richard pass away ? .. I bumped into him for the first time in years in the summer.. at the GP Surgery .. I didn't recognise him at first but he knew me straight away and said hello Sad to hear he has died .. none of my Boston friends have said anything which is unusual Andy

I've reached all of those dead ends as well .. I did once get an address and number on Gene Redd but missed him by 3 months ... It's far too late to contact Sharon Redd ... Always had a suspicion she might be Stormy Wynters on Mercury .. has anybody ever touched base with Penny Ford ?

Thanks all Appreciate your kind words x A

Nice one .. well done you

Amazing man ... Can't believe it has been 10 years such a loss A

I'm sure this got a legal reissue .. or later press.. on Epic in the mid 70s Sure I have a copy but I think it must be 30 years since I last listened to it A

Hi Simon The version of "I want to hold your hand" is the Cautions .. I think it will get a CD release via Ace/Kent in the future The rehearsal tapes only appeared as you have them .. I assume the guy still has them but years since I heard from him A

The decision was made early in the planning stage to only use tracks that had not previously been released in the UK on 7" vinyl. So J.D. Bryant, as an example, had previously been reissued both on Soul City and the Goldmine Shrine series Hope that helps explains the rationale Andy
