ONE OF THE ALL-TIME U.K.-RECORDED GREATS
"I FEEL SO BAD"
HEAR HERE!!
Jackie Edwards - I Feel So Bad - YouTube
A. IMAGINE HEARING THIS AWESOME SLAB OF BRITSOUL AS A BRAND-NEW RELEASE - WOW!!!; NOWADAYS, ONLY A FEW CAN HONESTLY CLAIM THAT THEY ENJOYED SUCH A PRIVILEGE, BUT WHETHER YOU HEARD IT NEW OR MUCH LATER ON IN THE SCENE'S FIFTY YEAR SPAN, IT MUST SURELY BE A TREASURED MEMORY; I COME FROM A SLIGHTLY LATER GENERATION WHO HAD TO MAKE DO WITH IT'S TIMELY REISSUE IN 1976, AND THAT SUFFICED FOR ME UNTIL I FOUND THIS ORIGINAL COPY IN A SO-CALLED JUNK SHOP IN 1978; HOW DARE IT BE SO TERMED!; IT HAD OBVIOUSLY SEEN MUCH BETTER DAYS AND HAD BEEN SPUN MANY, MANY TIMES (AND NOT ALWAYS CAREFULLY); BUT IT PLAYED ALL THE WAY THROUGH FROM BEGINNING TO END, AND NO ONE COMPAINED ABOUT THE CRACKLY INTRO ON THE RARE OCCASION THAT I FOUND MYSELF PLAYING TO A RECEPTIVE AUDIENCE; IT HAS LOTS OF PREVIOUS PLAY SIGNS, RANGING FROM LIGHT SCUFFS TO MEDIUM SCRATCHES, BUT THESE CAN MOSTLY BE HEARD AS MODERATE CRACKLE THROUGHOUT; THERE ARE NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL, AND THE ENDING SOUNDS VERY CLOSE TO EXCELLENT

"I DON'T WANT TO BE MADE A FOOL OF"
B. NOBODY HAS YET BOTHERED POSTING THIS SIDE ON YOUTUBE; IT'S ANOTHER FINE MID-TEMPO DANCER - NOWHERE IN THE SAME LEAGUE AS "I FEEL SO BAD", BUT A GREAT MODDISH MOVER NONETHELESS; IT'S WELL-KNOWN THAT JACKIE WROTE SEVERAL HITS FOR THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUP (INCLUDING "WHEN I COME HOME" AND NO LESS THAN TWO NUMBER ONE'S - "SOMEBODY HELP ME" AND "KEEP ON RUNNING"); HE ALSO WROTE BOTH SIDES OF THIS 45, AND FOR THAT WE MUST BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL; BECAUSE THIS SIDE HAS A MOSTLY SPOKEN INTRO, IT PLAYS SOMEWHAT WORSE, ALTHOUGH IT TOO HAS NO STICKS OR JUMPS
