LoveLove Love is a faster version, with slightly different lyrics from the 1982incarnation as Love Sweet Love. Don't Tell Me Lies is a little faster here than TheOne And Only album version, but still plaintive and beautiful. Since You've Been Gone has a lovely hard-edged vocaljust like the final version. Billy's reputationas Britain's premier rock 'n' roller is fully justified by this track.Great stuff.
#Billy fury the sound of fury rare pennies full version
Certainly Billy's snarling vocal is great.Īnyway,next up, Phone Call appears to be a little slower than the full version andDon't Say It's Over, like the released version, really rocks. Tackled a littledifferently, later with the Gamblers, perhaps, this would have been a farstronger number. What Did I Do is much the same as the EP release, but thererecording suffered, in my view, from a feeble backing. It's You I Need is the same pace as the full version andMy Advice much the same, but without the bite and drive of the fullversion. Cheatin' With Love is much the same asthe 1963 version, except that it's obviously lacking in the power of thereleased version. Well Alright is taken at thesame pace as the released version. Most of the numbers are abbreviated incomparison to the released versions. To give a breakdown of the dialogue andeach number would be to spoil the forthcoming pleasure so a brief resumé willsuffice for now.
To hear the young Billy introducing the numbers for thesession is a wonderful moment.
Perhaps, like I Got Someone,they would have spoilt the perfect balance of the album if they had beenincluded. Quite why the unreleased numbers were not included,making it a 12-inch album, I have no idea, certainly Cheat With Love or thelovely I Wonder Why could have fitted in. The beautiful You Don't Know and one of the finest rocking tracks from thesession, Don't Leave Me This Way, may well have been also either put onto a rehearsal tape or ended up as rough demo version, on acetate, but presently Ihave no information on this. Reworked as Love Sweet Love for B-side of The rehearsal tapewhich Billy had evidently put together, just 12 songs by Billy, accompanied byjust his guitar, is a unique document in the history of rock 'n' roll.
The Decca session sheets have the recording date for the albumas January 1960, but no doubt Decca's John Tracy had more correct or specificinformation when he said that, although Turn My Back On You was cut onJanuary 8(Elvis's birthday) the rest of the album was cut on April 14. Moving on to 1960 and the recording of the classic Sound Of Furyalbum, as I mentioned, acetate out-takes from the session are rumoured to existbut whether these are stand-alone different recordings, or the ones circulkatedamong the fans on cassette tape is not clear at the moment. Weknew this when The Missing Years brought the original version of Driving Nicely(No Trespassers). If not, let's hope itsurfaces.īaby was also re-attempted by Billy in 1982, as an acousticworkout and it's evident from further recordings referred to shortly, that Billyhad a tendency in 1982 to resurrect songs from over 20 years before. I have a feeling that itmay be misinformation, and should refer to Baby. Presumably Playin' For Keeps (another early Elvis number) hasbeen too badly damaged to play and record.Ĭome Go With Me has been widely reported to have also been cut,but I can't recall it being written on the label and I'm not sure where theinformation regarding its existence came from. Ifthis is the case then the overall time, if Playin' For Keeps surfaces, would beunder 7:00. Certainly, there'sno mention on the label of the song being redone on the disc itself. It's possible that I'm Left etc (version 2) is just version 1re-recorded on the reference cassette tape by someone. If Playin' For Keeps was added, probably another short version,I would suppose the total time to be 7:30 to 8:00 at the outside. I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone (version 2) 1 min.īaby (written by young Ron Wycherley) 1:04. Love's A Callin' written by Ron Wycherley (aka The Yodelling Song) 1:22. Have I told You Lately That I Love You (the Elvis number) 1:22. I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone (the Elvis number) 1 min. The tracks which have been aired on local radio in Liverpool andcirculated on tape have so far only turned out to be: Wouldn't we alllike to be the proud owner of this? When played, there is a prominent crackle on the tracks whichhave surfaced, which is not surprising given the brittle nature of this preciousslice of history, and the fact that it's now over 40 years old. The spelling is reproduced as on thelabel (presumably Ronnie's writing.).
