Hiya Gilly Good to hear from you. Please give my best to your mum too. I love the fact that on the Lupine issue of 'Sliced tomatoes' it shows as being produced by 'The Lively Ones'!! Johnny Terry received a five figure cheque a few years ago when HDH got royalties from that Fat Lad (rip off) thing. The individual band members got nothing. Frank B. was particularly ticked off with this because Johnny is listed as the sole writer. On EVERY other Just Brothers song him or Jimmy, or both, shared writing credits. Sadly, Jimmy passed away several years ago, 'Pistol' died recently and Johnny Terry expired this year. Johnny was involved with Jack Montgomery's finest efforts, used to sing with the Drifters (on 'Saturday night at the movies' among many others) and wrote James Brown's first hit 'Please please please'. (They met in juvenile hall!) John McLure and I had the pleasure of being shown around Detroit by Frank in April this year. We saw where Thelma was based, Twenty Grand, Correctone, Burt studios. United Sound and much more. The commentary he provided were hair raising!! Cheers

Glad you liked it Brian. One of the best cds around at the moment.

'Sliced tomatoes' was recorded at United Sound Studios in Detroit in 1965. Band members were Richard 'Pistol' Allen (drums) Frank Bryant (bass) Eddie Willis (lead guitar) Jimmy Bryant (lead guitar) Joe Hunter (keyboards) Written and produced by Johnny Terry. Originally recorded as the 'B' side to vocal track called 'Honey' which was not released at the time. Eventually issued on Hayley Records in UK 2000. 'Sliced tomatoes' issued in 1965 on Lupine. Re released on Music Merchant in 1972. Johnny Terry's wife is sister of Holland brothers, thus the connection. All christian names listed here are correct.
