Turn the record over....




Sorry to be away for so long. I'm totally swamped with social obligations, have been all month. This will likely continue through Mardi Gras.
........................................................................................
Here's some of the many flip-sides I meant to post and never got around to. Just a little present for ya'll. I'll try to put up some more tomorrow.

1. "I Got Love" by Jackie Avery. A nice little funky number that may not knock you out like it's flip-side, but given how good "Understanding" is, it says quite a lot that this cut ever gets played at all. Is this recording available any place else?


2. "Something Ought To Be Done [About You]" by Jessie Hill. I'm a huge fan of everything Jessie Hill and Mac Rebennack recorded together and this is no exception. The flip-side, "My Children, My Children", was one of the first cuts I posted on the blog. Most copies you see of this 45 are one-sided promos pressed without this tune.


3. "Eddy's Go-Go Train" by Eddy Giles. I actually bought this 45 for this song in particular, but when I heard the flip-side, "While I'm Away", I fell in love with it...and thus that's the side that got posted. Always meant to get back to this one. Truly killer stuff.


Best wishes to everyone. Happy Holidays.

    Before anyone thinks to call me on it...I know Mac Rebennack's name isn't shown on the label of Chess 1999.

    I saw an acetate of the record awhile back and it had 'Mac & Jessie' written on it.

    You don't know me - I found you at one of Marie's on again- off again blogs - I'm just one of the usually silent visitors who wants to thank you for reliably brightening my day. I'm sure there are many of us who agree but haven't commented before, so keep the faith, and thanks! All the best to you, and here's hoping for a better 2012 - 2011 was tough on a lot of folks.

    Baz....Always lovely to hear from someone who doesn't usually comment. Comments are what brighten my day. Yes indeed, lets hope the coming year is better than 2011. Happy Holidays.

    Thanks as always for the great music. Jessie Hill seems to be an unending source of offbeat entertainment. -- Jon

    I totally dug all three flip sides but especially "I Got Love" by Jackie Avery. Of course being the collector that I am I went straight to Gemm Music to find a copy. Imagine my dismay when I found out that the cheapest copy was going for $230! But at least I can listen to it any time I want to. Thanks for a terrific blog and Happy New Year.

    YankeeBoy...The Jackie Avery is a tough one to land. I didn't pay $230 for my copy, but it is the second most expensive record I own.

    Thanks for the kind words and Happy New Year to you as well.
