Georgie's UK followup to "yeah yeah"....
this one only managed to peak at #22 for some reason...
i love the "A" side, and like the "B" side track...
i really should invest in a compilation i guess!
here's his Wiki page for those who missed it on the last Georgie post: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgie_Fame

There are several good comps of his early stuff but he had a career resurgence in the '90's. I very much like his '91' CD Cool Cat Blues *--he hooked up with Ben Sidran's German label Go Jazz for some good work, properly showcased.
* Available from the Usual Suspect for about $10 USD. [quoted for the comments and marvelous list of co-conspirators]: http://www.amazon.com/Cool-Cat-Blues-Geo...Descending
And some tunes from it (or near-about): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpib39nWwy8 << On the CD, it's a duet with Boz Skaggs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnrUHSuAYiw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg3-tQ_Ah-8 << "Moondance" with Van Morrison and Jon Hendricks--it doesn't get much better than this.
BTW, the best record company comp DVD you'll get this year is the Go Jazz Allstars, taped on the German TV show Ohne Filter
BONUS: Here's a 1/2 hour of one terrific 4tet--Georgie, Ben + Van Morrison and Mose Allison, presented by Jools Holland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOH8WEqWSHI << You'll thank me for this one.
NOTE: This is Thread hijacking--please don't hold that against me. Big shout-out to Bro C-H for the reminder of how much I love Mr. Fame.

You're quite welcome though Mr. Fame (born Clive Powell) is not a Geordie, having been born in the west of England. "d" and "g" are close on the keyboard however...

I agree CH. I was doing some training in Whitley Bay (near Newcastle) for Intel many moons ago. One of the friendliest group of people I have ever met. Down to earth, funny and helpful people. I was there for about a month and it was great - but bloody cold (well for a boy from Africa anyway).

Just from these 2 Posts, I'm glad I took this up. Can't ever know too much about folks from elsewhere...

THE RONETTES "baby i love you" B/W "miss joan & mr.sam" 1963
i love the "A" side of this song and just found out it peaked higher n the UK than in the US, it reached #11 on the
UK charts back in the day...
"B" side is credited to "the phil spector group", its a jazz instrumental, not my thing but its probably right up Jazzy's alley!

LAURIE LONDON "handed down" B/W "sea shells" 1958
Laurie was a child-star back in the day in the UK....
i believe most of his material was either swing/gospel or vaudevillian in nature,
this one is similar in vein...
i dont like either track here from this apparent "double-A" sided single, and the single failed to chart in the UK
