So Phil, you have played in some of the same venues as Champion Jack Dupree...

"Of all the money that e'er I had I've spent it in good company And all the harm that e'er I've done Alas it was to none but me And all I've done for want of wit To memory now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all"

Hollens, or his record company, or producer, or whoever, should be thrashed for that abomination of a recording of a wonderful song, with the heavy doctoring of the voices squeezing any emotion out of the performance and ending up with a robotic melange. Truly ghastly stuff. Sadly, this approach to manipulating vocal performances in recording is proliferating. Perhaps it sounds 'good' on phones.

Parting glass FFS!

But other than that it was great wasn't it?

I'm not sure where in Halifax he played but it's obviously a possibility. I was talking to his daughter t'other week, lovely woman.

Yes, some good stuff.

Not that I am old enough to remember most of it from when it came out.

Yes I have, didn’t know he had though

I believe this track from the Move is from a German TV show. Ace Kefford on bass, superb.

The version from the 'Travelogue' album, where she re-worked her own songs. This is the best track on the whole disc.

One of quite a few albums I've bought purely because I loved the cover. I bought this when it was first released in '74 and this track became a firm favourite.

The album is Exotic Birds and Fruit. The cover is from a painting by Slovak artist Jakob Bogdani.

Yes siree.

It's a verified Mytholmroyd fact.

A neighbour of mine, a muso, was there on at least one occasion.

Champion Jack had quite a life.

Believe it or not, children, there was a time before the numbingly dull MOR ballads, and while they still had a killer horn section, that Chicago were actually a pretty damn good band.

Written and recorded in a drug fuelled haze in the studio..... a fabulous track from my early youth

[Robin Evans]

I asked andrea barnes to go out with me after listening to this album.

Result.... Blown out yet again.

A staple of our student union disco. When they were called Chicago Transit Authority they were red hot. They did a great number called ' Does anybody know what time it is'. Which I think was on the b side of this.

My mrs bought the single and still has it. I'll dig it out and have a look what's on the B side.
