I was 17 and I played it to death.

I reissued one of these on a 2003 CD compilation called "Welcome Back To Town: Live R&B and Jump Blues" (El Toro R&B 104).davep369https://www.blogger.com/profile/18431843935460462418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-77433515016326088772011-04-04T08:36:41.757+01:002011-04-04T08:36:41.757+01:00Credit for the direction pointing goes to davep369...Credit for the direction pointing goes to davep369. I've got so many old LPs in my cupboard I really need someone else to remind me of what's on them.<br /><br />I've got volumes 1 and 3 of the Swinghouse "R&B and Boogie Woogie" LPs - I never did get volume 2. I've got other Swinghouse records - e.g. a couple of Louis Jordan live collections and a King Cole Trio one too. All good stuff.boogiewoodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565453839281572426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-54770989772780661032011-04-03T23:19:03.845+01:002011-04-03T23:19:03.845+01:00Well that whole LP is great!

For those of you who don't know what we're talking about, the 1979 Swing House LP " R & B and Boogie Woogie" was issued in a limited edition of 3000 copies and an assurance that your LP "is already a collectors item."<br /><br />The track that stayed with me through the years was "Oh Boy! That's Where My Money Goes" by the Four Blazes.<br /><br />Thanks to davep369 at least two grizzled R&B fans have been reminded that there is a live version of Jesse Price's "I Ain't Mad At You" on the LP and both have gone on a rummage through their mouldering vinyl. And once more the sound of the likes of Maurice Rocco, Ray McKinley and Four Joes and a Jane (love "Jam Boogie")is heard throughout the land!boogiewoodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565453839281572426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-63301245772684753402011-04-03T14:57:55.833+01:002011-04-03T14:57:55.833+01:00heheh I have number 788 of that Swinghouse LP with...heheh I have number 788 of that Swinghouse LP with the Jesse Price - which one have you got?<br /><br />I remember the Maurice Rocco version of Why Don't You Do Right being a wonderful track too.<br /><br />'heads over to the record player'The DoorKeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13901879297324581741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-33171140787424856562011-04-03T14:52:35.121+01:002011-04-03T14:52:35.121+01:00love that Jesse Price song.

We should be grateful for you pointing the way towards even more R&B delights.<br /><br />Bob Merrill was on the Cootie Williams "Typhoon" post back in September 2010. I even mentioned that he recorded a version of "I Ain't Mad At You" around 1960 or 1961. Then I promptly forgot about it.<br /><br />The Swinghouse LPs which featured airshots of R&B artists of the 1940s were among the very first R&B records I bought. In fact I've just gone to the vinyl cupboard and pulled out the LP you refer to. Thanks for the reminder.<br /><br />And thanks for the info about Gatemouth's "I Ain't Mad At You" on "Shouters" being an alternative take. I would never have known.<br /><br />Now to listen to that live Jesse Price track ...boogiewoodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565453839281572426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-50944489907389276522011-03-21T23:31:14.620+00:002011-03-21T23:31:14.620+00:00Hi BW,

You could also have included versions by 'Spoon, The Flennoy Trio and Bobby "Mr Blues" Merrill, not to mention two other incarnations by Gatemouth Moore (Chez Paree and King) and a very nice Jesse Price live version that was issued way back on the old Swinghouse label.<br />Incidentally, the old "Shouters" double inadvertently used an alternative take of the song and not the National 6001 master.
