Over the next few weeks I will be offering a wonderful selection of rare mostly UK late 50's & 60's 1st pressing LP's and EP's. Obtained from and English gentleman who originally lived in Manchester and saw many of the great acts of the day in their prime. His enthusiasm and knowledge of this period of music and the amount of artists he saw was quite staggering and included Rolling Stones, Beatles, Eric Burdon & Animals, Manfred Mann, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Small Faces, Kinks, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Roy Orbison, Sam Cooke, this list went on and on! A fastidious collector his vinyl overall has been kept in fantastic condition especially considering some of the items are over 50 years old! Many of the items would have been bought within weeks of their original release dates. We offer combined postage on all items purchased. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to list his 45's in the near future. Over 300 wonderful items from the same period.
Gene's voice in the '60s had gained in strength and maturity, so much so that the recordings he made for Challenge in 1966/1967 are to be counted amongst his best ever. The Challenge deal came along at the right time since Gene had been dropped by UK's Columbia label (following the release of four uneven singles and a superb album). Most of the songs selected for Gene to record came from the pen of in-house writers or artists : Keith Colley contributed the stunning 'Bird Doggin' (with wild guitar backing from Al Casey & Glen Campbell) and 'Poor Man's Prison' ; apart from playing on the sessions, Jimmy Seals wrote the oh-so-lovely 'Love Is A Bird', a song which stayed in the can States-wise and probably became a demo for The Knickerbockers who cut it two months later ; Dave Burgess was responsible for the nicely rocking 'I've Got My Eyes On You' (first cut by Ricky Nelson for Imperial on June 13, 1962) and for 'Words And Music' (in tandem with Jerry Fuller who also penned the raucous 'Ain't That Too Much' with super talented Baker Knight). The remaining tracks were covers of Merle Haggard's 'I'm A Lonesome Fugitive' and two Carl Belew Four Star-era classics , plus a couple of compositions by old friend and guitar player, Jerry Merritt. Joe D. Johnson was listed as producer (Gene being credited on one single as assistant producer !) ; Dave Gates was the arranger. The sound engineer who worked on 'Bird Doggin' as well as all tracks laid down at Hollywood's Sunset Sound Recorders was Bruce Botnick.
Tracks: Hurtin' for you baby/ I'm a lonesome figutive/ Born to be a rolling stone/ Hi-lili hi-lo/ Poor man's prison/ Words and music/ Bird-doggin'/ I've got my eyes on you/ Love is a bird/ Ain't that too much/ Lonely street/ Am I that easy to forget.
