Dinky Dawson & Shrine 69

Alan Olson · #1 01-10-2006, 02:29 PM

When released I thought that I read someplace that this was the 1st of what was going to be a series of concert recordings to be released by Dinky Dawson. Does anybody remember hearing or reading anything like this?

Maybe it's just wishfull thinking on my part.

I seem to recall that, too. Again, that might've been Mick blowing smoke out of an orifice.

I do not believe that the implication was so much that it was to be the first of a series of "Fleetwood Mac" shows, but the the packaging itself, listing the CD as "Dinky Dawson's Live Archive The Dinky Who? Series" would lead one to believe that there were to be additional releases, possibly by other artists Dawson worked for.
His web site would bring you to the same conclusion. Most likely the licensing could not be worked out between the performers and the label.
As to Mick's involvement, he "sequenced" the disc and if you remember, the review copies originally had Spencer's R-rated version of "Blue Suede Shoes" in place of "Albatross".
It would have been a shame for that version of "Albatross" not to have been released as it is one of the finest they recorded IMO.
Listen to the version on "Live At the BBC", which they recorded just days after cutting the studio version. They can't get started and after they do, they can't seem to all come together for the ending

I think mine might have it...I'll check when I get home.

"Dinky" Dawson sort of reminds me of "Binky" Beamont, British theater impresario & producer in the West End.

Anyone else?

Nope...mine has "Albatross" and ends with Jeremy's not exactly G-rated version of "Great Balls Of Fire".
