I love Joe Meek's work.
Jackie Lomax ~ Sour Milk Sea (1968, Apple)
If this sounds familiar... Ringo is on drums, Eric Clapton and George are on guitars, Nicky Hopkins on piano, and Paul McCartney on bass! Plus George wrote it!

wow. what an amazing song. had never heard or heard of it. check out this version on youtube, credited to the beatles, of this backing track with george on vocals.
George was having a strong period around this time, and made some great tracks, not all of which, found their way onto his albums.
incredible that a song as good as this was a throwaway at the time. btw, all things must pass is my favorite beatles solo album, but that's another story.

I used to play this a lot in my radio days ......It was rare to find this on a jukebox in the UK in pubs in those days because it used to start a round of glass breaking when played , so it was often removed.....
Champs ~ Tequila (1958, GA Challenge)
The "GA" on the Challenge label stood for Gene Autry, who was it's owner.

I enjoy this thread , as a long term collector of 45s I welcome the chance given here, to learn about, and hear some new 45s that otherwise I would never come across.
