king ubu Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 This seems to be *very much OOP*... would love to get it, if anyone here doesn't need his any longer. Just failed to score one on ebay (went for nearly 60$ which was too much for me). Maybe anyone here has a lead? It seems it left almost no traces on the web (though it can be streamed, but I'd love to get the real thing)! Quote
jostber Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Don't know about this, but "My Jug and I" has just been reissued on vinyl by 4 Men With Beards: I just got it, great album. Edited April 4, 2012 by jostber Quote
mikeweil Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 I can't understand why they released this in so limited quantities - they should have known better. Quote
king ubu Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Posted April 4, 2012 I've seen "My Jug" - but that's not even half of the music on the CD, and it's probably CD-dubbed anyway... Quote
J.A.W. Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 Great set. I got it when it came out. It sold out very quickly. Quote
king ubu Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Posted April 4, 2012 I know - there's the thread from back when: Didn't have a clue about Percy Mayfield back then... Has that issue about (possibly) wrong contents of the CD ever been resolved? Quote
Dan Gould Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 Its probably inappropriate to put this here, but does anyone know about this era of Percy's career: Percy Mayfield RCA Years Came right after Tangerine, I guess ... the reviews I see are good but I'd love to hear from people I trust on the board, if they know this release or the original LPs (apparently the set is incomplete).

J.A.W. Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Has that issue about (possibly) wrong contents of the CD ever been resolved? Yes, there never really was an issue. I returned my copy to Rhino at their request to have it checked and got it back with a note that the content was exactly as it should be. The alleged duplicate track turned out to be a (slightly) different take or song (can't remember exactly), not a duplicate. Edited April 4, 2012 by J.A.W. Quote

I think there were 3 LPs PM sings PM, which I've got and lurve Blues, & then some, which I used to have but it got fucked up and also lurved PM is a blues master, which I never heard but my friend said was great. Dan, is this available now? I'll get one if it is. MG Quote

Dan, is this available now? I'll get one if it is. MG It's available and very good! The first of the albums, PM sings PM, is also part of one of those big Sony essential something albums boxes and is excellent! All but one of its tracks are on the RCA years compilation, while the two other albums are present with about half their tracks. Too bad they didn't do a 2CD set and include all there is! Quote

Oh well, I shan't bother. Thanks Ubu. MG Quote
Dan Gould Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Even though its incomplete if MG and Ubu approve then I am definitely taking the plunge! Edited April 4, 2012 by Dan Gould Quote
king ubu Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Posted April 4, 2012 I could try and check if there are more single copies of that PM Sings PM around - mini-LP packaging, no notes, no nothing, but they sold plenty of these for roughly 3.50$ in a shop here... drop me a message if you're interested - but as I said, all but one tune are on the Raven compilation CD.The missing track, btw, is the closer, "This Time You Suffer Too". Soloists on the album are Eric Gale (g) and Seldon Powell (ts). Quote
