| Comments:
These two tracks can be found on a
number of albums,
Moving Fast Standing Still,
Please
Leave My Mind &
White Boy Blues. Apart from the current line up
for the Groundhogs it is thought by some that additional help was given by
Jimmy page and Eric Clapton, who would all have been present
around this time for recording tracks at Blue Horizon. The Tracks where
possible recorded in the summer of 1966. No definite details have been given to verify this rumour of who was in the studio at the time. Side one Ain't Gonna Cry No More is a slow blues with Piano, Harmonica and Guitar all taking centre stage on solo breaks. Recorded very much in the Immediate label house style of the time with plenty of reverb on the instruments. Side Two Some One To Love Me is in a very different style to the four tracks recorded at this time. Stomping away in a very much British Beat style. Some One To Love opens with a horn section followed by some standard vocals by Tony. There is very little impute from the guitar These tracks are available on later reissued CDs. Note the Some One To Love Me Track here is different to the earlier Some One To Love acetate reissued on Herbal Mixture's Please Leave My Mind. Tony Recorded Four sample tracks for Mike Vernon; Ain't Gonna Cry No More, paired with Some One To Love Me, You Don't Love Me, paired with When You Got a Good Friend. The tracks where recorded one Sunday at the Old Decca Studios West Hampstead London. Mike had access to the studios at this time for the purpose of recording and auditioning new acts. The tracks where issued as singles on the Purdah label, with 99 copies of each. |
