The whole site has now been redone using a different system ("Joomla!" for those interested in technical bits). While at it I added a "search" -function. The button is at the bottom of the menu on the right, should make it a bit easier & faster to find what you are looking for.

19 may 2008
A big update. There are two new records added, a Lenny Howard 45 titled "Keep The Faith, Baby" and a George Scott lp, "Find Someone To Love". Both feature new previously unknown versions of "Sweet Thang" aka "Wipe The Sweat". Consequently the whole Lonnie Youngblood -section has been updated, biggest change being in the recordings where I introduced a new section, "backing tracks", to try and make some sense in the listings.
[link to updated / new page]

The George Scott -lp also has a track called "I'm a Fool For You" on it, this is another version of the track better known as "Gonna Take A Lot" aka "It's Gonna Take A Lot To Bring Me Back Baby". Updated the info in the Lonnie Youngblood fakes section, the track is still listed as "fake" for the time being. Though it is possible that Hendrix actually could be playing on it (and the version with female vocals might be sung by Gloria Barnes), it remains to be sorted out.

The site has not been updated for quite a while and most emails have gone unanswered. My apologies for this, the hosting had to be renewed and I took the opportunity to change the hosting company at the same time which didn't go quite as planned. Access to email has been on and off and some emails have probably gotten lost altogether. If you did email me in the past 6 months and never got a reply please send another mail, I might have not received the message you send at all.

The site is back now on a new server by a company that I know provides a good stable service so everything should be back to normal...
