I have to make a minor correction of the anal type I'm known for.<br /><br />While Bobby Gentry did indeed record a fine version of "Louisiana Man" on her own (my favorite one, in fact), she is not the song's composer. It was written by Cajun legend Doug Kershaw.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410096446228611299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609845966536781209.post-32299945911856357382017-06-01T08:50:42.938-07:002017-06-01T08:50:42.938-07:00You're welcome!

After writing about every album of each of these respective bands it seemed a shame not to write about each band's best outtakes as well - especially if they get released one day in the future. You can find almost all of the above recordings, including the extra BBC sessions, at the end of the 'Alan's Album Archives Hollies playlist' (down the bottom, after the TV clips at the top!) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE977986F356039DA 8>)Alan's Archiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409065548353514714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609845966536781209.post-67914286593414069362017-05-30T14:36:17.998-07:002017-05-30T14:36:17.998-07:00Hi all - pardon my ignorance, but is this a theore...Hi all - pardon my ignorance, but is this a theoretical/ hypothetical 'if only' release, or a genuine compilation that is available anywhere?<br />Assuming it's a fantasy compilation, where can I find the Hollies BBC Sessions boot mentioned above? I have the 'Radio Fun' CD and it's clear it's just the tip of the iceberg.

I still own it on the original single back home ('Shadows In The Street' was the A side), but I don't know how to upload that onto Youtube I'm afraid. As far as I know it hasn't come out on CD which is a shame (it's no classic and a bit OTT in the dramatics, but it's worth hearing!) I've had a quick check online and I noticed the original single was up for sale for a fiver from this site if you're interested enough to buy?https://raresoulman.co.uk/index.php/d/221125/CLARKE,_ALLAN or there's an ebay link here http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALLAN-CLARKE-I-WILL-BE-YOUR-SHADOW-IN-THE-STREET-THE-PASSENGER-45-/311429276592 Good luck tracking it down! 8>)Alan's Archiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409065548353514714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609845966536781209.post-19936957546895788242016-05-04T14:35:45.859-07:002016-05-04T14:35:45.859-07:00Hey Alan.

Sorry for the late reply - I've ...Hello A-Mfan! Sorry for the late reply - I've been trying to track down what I can find of my Hollies collection,l with mixed results I'm afraid. I'm sure I own a copy of 'Passenger' somewhere - it was on the back of 'Shadows In The Street' wasn't it? Not sure how to convert it from the vinyl anyway but will give you a nod if I come across it. I never did track down the others. <br /><br /> I have however located the German TV appearance of 'Harlequin' which I've posted on Youtube. Sorry about the words in the middle, can't seem to get rid of them! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2jLnVIO3xI&feature=youtu.be <br /><br />I'm as stumped on you over most of that Hollies list - assuming that you have all the tracks that are officially out now on the Clarke Hicks Nash set/Long Road Home/Abbey Road sets etc. I do have the TV performance of the unreleased single 'Hard To Forget' though which I couldn't see on Youtube so I've posted that as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7TNiDpH1pU<br /><br />Do you have the Hollies BBC sessions? (The unreleased ones - not the ones on the 'Radio Fun' set). I have a few of those too. Happy listening/viewing! Maybe one of our readers can point to some more Hollies goodies?<br /><br />By the way that's the Hollies army reserve discs? I'd not heard about them - sounds interesting! 8>)<br /><br />Alan's Archiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409065548353514714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609845966536781209.post-49283326714624376572015-11-02T14:51:42.850-08:002015-11-02T14:51:42.850-08:00Thanks for that link.
