Joe's All Stars - It is not known who played these sessions; Cane-Honeysett 1995 says: "the group could well have been yet another of the Rudie's many aliases"; the Rudies at that time were:
Earl Dunn (g)
Ardley White (b)
Sonny Binns (org) and
Danny Smith (dr)
Freddy Notes (dr); Michael de Koningh, 2003, p. 48 quotes Freddy Notes saying "It was me on drums on "Brixton Cat", you know." Notes was a singer with the Rudies who also played drums from time to time.
Rico Rodriguez (tb)
Hopeton Reid aka Dice the Boss (DJ)
"Joe's next project was the rude 'Brixton Cat', which Joe clarified as today meaning 'Brixton Pussy', with no need for further explanation! 'People went wild at parties (when it was played). What made it even more puzzling was that this work was done right here in London…to my great surprise one morning on the breakfast programme Tony Blackburn played 'Brixton Cat'…and that day the shop was packed'. One can be sure that Tony Blackburn and the BBC had no idea what Dice was chattering about or the record would've shot into the reject pile along with the infamous 'Wet Dream' from Max Romeo a year earlier.
Trojan were so impressed with the sales of 'Brixton Cat' that they asked Joe if he was interested in fleshing out the hit single into an album of the same name. He readily agreed and the album appeared late in 1969, catalogue number TBL106, and resplendent with a shot of Joe's former sister-in-law Peggy Jackson, back to camera, gazing at Brixton market on the sleeve's front. The back showed a snappy-dressed Joe looking every bit the businessman in a three-piece suit - a picture that he took himself."
Prod. and arr. by Joe Mansano. Eng.: Gerry Kitchingham
