Just as expected, the audio on the 7″ was even more authentic than the LP pressing, which in original mono, sounded pretty great already. Man, did I want to own this single from that first listen. For whatever reason, their moniker was left off the label copy, but their signature sound was sure there to be heard. Zoot Money already had his Big Roll Band rolling by then. It was here that I first heard ‘The Uncle Willie’.Īs with other tracks by The Graham Bond Organization, Alexis Korner, Them, The Birds and John Mayall, it epitomized what I imagined the seedy clubs of London’s Soho to sound like. Released on UK Decca in ’74, the compilation is a proper collection of their deep 60′s catalog, mostly gritty blues leaning acts, and packaged beautifully. If you ever see the double LP, HARD UP HEROES, do yourself a favor, buy immediately. Listen: The Uncle Willie / Zoot Money ZootWillie.mp3 ![]()
