Joe Mathews is a tune ain’t it so good !!!!! And so rare on both demo and issue

So it seems we are waiting for someone to post up the bootleg scan and matrix details atm 👍

Probably east coast west cost variant I have the original east coast bring it back home to me Linda lyndell on volt which abet it later 60s but has a completely different label design from west coast press

This is an original , you can see the deadwax matrix as far as I know this is the original and there is the boot , never had one so don’t have the deadwax info

And the Darrow Fletcher was decent price in great condition it’s not easy these days on London if it wasn’t for the easy availability of the USA groovy copy I would’ve thought the UK would go for loads more A lovely UK piece to have

Fair play. Lovely to see a real good picture of him. I love picking up original photos / publicity shots etc Always scoop them up when I come across them.

Fantastic 👍 where on earth did you find that?

I thought she lived in New York early 60s first before moving to Chicago recording as Deena Johnson in New York on wild deuce and other labels

You never know Although Jo Armstead was mainly based in New York and Chicago in the 60s

Thanks for that. I wonder if he was aware that is 45s are still loved and collected by Soul fans I’m sure he must of because of the Kent CD release of I’m so thankful which was released before he passed I still can’t understand why he only made three 45s at the time. His singing voice is lovely, such a shame he didn’t release anything else Perhaps we will never know why He left us with 4 special and amazing 45s IMO Good enough eh

Might as well post his singles in the unlikely event that someone doesn't know them

Thanks Chalky , that’s cleared this up for me I didn’t realise his name wasn’t Eddie Hill but is Eddie Armstead That sorts of explains that 😂 love the video of the Thelma 45 b side obviously the a side at the time 😂 Shame he didn’t record more records I first heard nothing sweeter on that Detroit Goldmine lp that came out early 90s, mark bicknell gave me a tape around same time with you really got the best of me on it, loved those 2 ever since So recently picked up I can hear you crying just so I have all his 45s , but that’s a great overlooked record as-well IMO The M-S 45 and the Gee Gee 45 must have sold ok ish for him as you still see them for sale in beat up condition Thanks again Chalky

I have 4 singles by Eddie Hill, you got the best of me on Thelma, Nothing Sweeter than you babe on M-S I can hear you crying on Gee Gee and I’m so thankful on Kent Select imo all magnificent records my question is, does anyone know who he was and any history about him? I can’t find anything online about Eddie Hill - Nothing whatsoever Such a great voice , and seemingly only 4 released (three in the 60s) How did Ady C find the track he released on Kent, any background story about this release? Im just interested if anyone knows anything about him as at the min he is a total mystery when searching online. Thanks in advance

Yes , Nail on head i could not agree more
