Jim Elliott

50 years ago, sheesh

Whilst having a rare instrumental evening in the record room the other night I wondered who was the first dj to play (A good thing going) and where?? Very out there, subtle, with a tempo all over the place. Obviously, of its time. Jim.

Jerry Butler, For your precious love.

Always thought this was an interesting one. Can't find any evidence of a film per se but the 'soundtrack' exists. Possibly they were hoping for some revenue from the soundtrack to fund the film. Decidedly poor artwork couldn't have helped. Contains Delilah Moores "It takes love"

Sad news. A legendary figure from my youth. RIP Jim.

Can't imagine so, a pretty good seller at the time.

If you'll forgive the street parlance, what a load of absolute bollocks. Glad I'm retired.

Leroy Barbour on Frontiersman. The best part of 30 years.

Fantastic reading. I thought that the 45 was a Clarky wind up?? 🤔 Jim

Assumed, it was this fella, splendid LP on WB🤷

Pretty sure it's a (very slightly) different mix. 🤔

I saw him several times over the years and each time it was a mesmerising experience. The last time was early 2009, promoting the 'Hidden conversations' LP at the Lowry in Manchester. Lovely guy. RIP TC

That's a fantastic array of pictures. I remember that place prior to demolition, as I lived relatively close by. I had no idea it was a live music venue however.

The only 'original' release in the Kent cd from 1997.

I know Butch says it's "Chuck Jackson". Sounds like a New York recording to my ears. Echoes of Dean Parrish, Chuck and Tommy Hunt vocally. Absolutely wonderful, whoever it is. Shame I've called it a day, it sounds great down in that basement.
