FM BBC anthologies

The continued confusion over what may or may not have been played at any given session is one of the things that I hoped to alleviate when writing my book.

‘Shake Your Moneymaker’ was the title given to a piano driven instrumental on “Fleetwood Mac – The BBC Sessions” a bootleg on the Early Years label released in 1989.
At some point over the years, as others bootlegged the original bootleg, someone with a deeper knowledge of Elmore James’ catalog “corrected” the title to ‘Hawaiian Boogie’. (It would be great though to hear Spencer to try his hand on that number)

This in turn caused early discographers who did not have access to either the recordings or the BBC Programme Logs, to err on the side of inclusion and list both titles, as they are in fact, two different songs.

In actuality, neither of those songs were performed at the session; what was played was Spencer’s ‘Evenin’ Boogie’.
