EDDIE PURRELL
"THE SPOILER"
HEAR HERE!!
Eddie Purrell - The Spoiler - YouTubeA. BEFORE ANYONE ACCUSES ME OF NOT KNOWING WHAT ALPHABETICAL ORDER MEANS, I'LL JUST GIVE THE EXCUSE THAT THIS ARTIST IS REALLY EDDIE PERRELL - AT LEAST MOST PEOPLE CLAIM THAT HE IS; IF SO, HE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A WELL-TRAVELLED MAN; HE WAS BORN IN CHICAGO, RECORDING FROM MEMPHIS TO MARYLAND, STOPPPING OFF AT ATLANTA AND SEVERAL OTHER POINTS IN BETWEEN; HIS RECORDINGS AS EDDIE PERRELL ARE CRIMINALLY UNDER-RATD, WITH HIS ONLY LISTED 45 BEING HIS QUETTE RELEASE ("LISTEN") FROM 1964; MY FAVOURITE IS "HEX", RELEASED ON SHURFINE IN 1966 - BUT THAT ISN'T IN EITHER MAJOR GUIDES; AS EDDIE PURRELL THERE ARE TWO 45s TO BE FOUND - ONE RARITY ON HIT SOUND AND THE OTHER ON VOLT (ON OFFER IN THIS AUCTION); WRITTEN BY BOOKER T. JONES AND DONALD "DUCK" DUNN, THIS IS A STURDY ON-THE-FOURS BELTER. WITH COOL KEYBOARDS AND FINE STAX HORNS; IT WAS ALSO RECORDED BY FRENCH-MORROCAN ABDELGHAFOUR MOUHSINE; IT WAS A WISE DAY WHEN HE OPTED FOR THE STAGE NAME OF 'VIGON'; THIS ORIGINAL HANDLING IS SLIGHTLY SLOWER AND MUCH MORE SOULFUL THAN VIGON'S PIGEOEN-ENGLISH 1968 REMAKE

"MY PRIDE WON'T LET ME"
HEAR HERE!!
Eddie Purrell My Pride Won't Let Me - YouTubeB. THIS SIDE IS MAGNIFICENT TOO - ALMOST HITTING BEAT BALLAD STATUS IN MANY PLACES; IT WAS WRITTEN BY LESSER-KNOWN STAX BACKROOM BOYS RANDLE CATRON AND HENDERSON THIGPEN (ANOTHER TONGUE-TWISTER); THE NAME OF CATRON IS GIVEN TWICE FOR SOME REASON, UNLESS IT'S HIS WIFE/BROTHER/SISTER, OR SOME OTHER RELATIVE; MID-TEMPO DEEP SOUL MIGHT BE AN APT DESCRIPTION, BECAUSE THERE'S SOME FINE WAILING NEAR THE END
