Saw the track listings for the PGSG DVD coming out in the next few weeks and the one number that struck me was "I Believe My Time Ain't Long" -
This kicks off the "electric" set and I thought it was unfortunate that they didn't choose to do it acoustic -
FM's first single, it was also, I feel, one of Jeremy's finest recorded performances - to really appreciate the nuances, listen to the remixed version on the Blue Horizon sessions box set -
A retitled version of "Dust My Broom", this version, with Green supplying a deep harmonica groove, closely resembles Elmore James' original recording of the song, with Sonny Boy Williamson on harp, recorded in 1951 -
I think if FM's version had been a hit - or if Mike Vernon had encouraged Spencer to pursue his acoustic playing - it's believed Spencer auditioned for Blue Horizon with "Mean Old Fireman" and "Allow Me One More Show" - again, excellent showcases for his abilities -
Vernon should have either released those takes long before '71 or had him cut similar material -
I understand that, at the time, this material would only be suitable for the studio: for records or BBC sessions -
Just something I would have like to have heard
