What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Alexis Korner's All Stars - Blues Incorporated (Just Sunshine) 1964

(liner notes by Michael Cuscuna!)

Hope that this was issued a while after 1964. Michael Cuscuna was 16 in 1964 - doubt that he'd have had much of interest to write then.

Yes - Just Sunshine was the label for which Stuff recorded in the late seventies; a WB subsidiary. My guess is that this is the album originally issued on Transatlantic called "Red hot from Alex" - it contains "Back at the Chicken Shack" and "Haitian fight song", as far as I can remember.

Paul, I thought Cuscuna was older than that! I seem to recall his writing record reviews for Downbeat when I subscribed circa 1969.

MG, great memory! Here is the song list:

Woke Up This Morning

Skippin'

Herbie's Tune

Stormy Monday

It's Happening

Roberta

Jones

Cabbage Greens

Chicken Shack

Haitian Fight Song

Personnel included Dick Heckstall-Smith and Herbie Goins.

I didn't make a note of the date that I bought it. It was a cutout, about 1977. The liner notes say that Just Sunshine Records was a G+W (Gulf and Western) Company.

He produced George Freeman's "Birth sign" for Delmark in March 1969 (though it wasn't issued until 1972). I very much doubt he was only 18/19 then.

It must have been a pre-1976 issue. Just Sunshine was definitely in the WB camp in 1977 - I have an original of "More Stuff", their 2nd LP. And their first, for the same label also WB, was 1976.
