No, I have to get you blamed for it so that for years to come, people will be arguing that John said Floyd Cramer was on the piano that day. Now let me see how I can get you into hot water.... As you may have guessed, I took June off (which is why I am here on this site on a daily basis), and having got bored half-way through, decided to to convert my unobtainable vinyl to MP3. (By unobtainable - I mean the stuff that for some daft reason or other, I still cannot find on CD). I have a lot of it done, more or less successfully, apart from one track. I wonder if you ever came across the following track on any CD - ever? It is called "Funnt How Time Slips Away" by Jimmy Elledge. It reached 22 in November 1961 and was on RCA. Surely. being such a big it, it is on some RCA compilation somewhere? (Oddly enough, although on RCA in the USA, my UK vinyl copy is on London-American, although RCA had their own imprint here in 1961, or so I thought). Anyway, I have transferred my vinyl copy to MP3 but no matter how I try, I still have some surface noise. If you ever come across this track on CD, let me know the serial number and I'll get it. Meanwhile - a poser for you. (I would not have remembered this myself except that I came across the single this morning while transferring). Which American Top 5 hit from the mid-sixties, put on its B side, the A side played backwards, and even spelled the title backwards? And it was not a Phil Spector track. (I add that simply because I know he did some strange things with his B sides). As I say, I had forgotten this until I came across the single this morning. I don't remember playing the B side back then, but I checked today and believe it or not, it is played backwards. (Sounds better than the A side I think). And you are right - Floyd is great. And now that you remind me - he too was on RCA and released 20-30 vinyl albums, most of which they never bothered to put on CD. I do not like RCA anymore. |
