A new Mickey song is found. I was listening to an old Live Concert with Mickey.
The Concert was from Dublin Castle in London and it was recorded January 15th 1983.
The year after came two of the songs performed that day, on an LP from Ace Records 'Live in London Vol. 1.'
It was not until I digitalized the two cassettes with the concert that I realized the song properly.
And I did not know what song it was, I had to ask the writer himself what it was.
The song is called 'Little Birdie Blues' and was of course never recorded on any album.
3rd of April 2010
There is still someone trying to sell a CD at eBay, a double-CD called:
Legend "Legend (Aka the Redboot) & Moonshine" 2on1 CD.
That one is a fake, a Bootleg made up from Vinyl and with poor sound quality.
Don't buy it, get the proper one's from Repertoire Records. These CD's are in excellemt quality and also includes some extras.
Mickey gets nothing from those Bootleg CD's why I urge you to get the proper release's.
They are still available, but not for long. If you don't have it, just click the link above and get it.
I have filed a complaint to eBay that someone are selling Bootlegs.
'Please note that this is a system generated email. Please do not reply to this email.
Listing Violations > Counterfeits and copyright violations > Bootlegs and counterfeit media >
Unauthorized photocopies of printed material Item Numbers(s): 290358796515

A new article about Mickey is added in the English Scrapbook.
Its a very extensive article about Mickey. This article is brand new and written 2010.
The author Ron Bijnen, Holland has done a very great job.
It was first published in the Dutch Music Magazine 'Platenblad' No: 169 (Jan-Feb) & 170 (Mar-Apr) 2010
Mickey Jupp: “The Legend of Legend”
Written by: Ron Bijnen, Holland.
Translated by: Ron Bijnen, Holland.

3rd of March 2010
Some IMPORTANT corrections.
It's with affliction I have to write this message.
I have informed you on wrong basis that Mickey is considering release of the following albums:
'Collector's Volumes 1, 2 & 3' are on their way.
That is wrong, they may very well be on their way. But, those albums are issued solely by Chris East.
Based on old reel tapes found after years ofstorage or hide away.
'Favourites' is NOT being considered by Mickey for release. It's just a little thing he put together for his own convenience.
As told before, Mickey has put touring, recording and that sort of business behind himself.
Mickey turns 66 on Saturday, I think that he can look back in trust that he has left a pile of good music from his former career.
Today life has other values. But we fans can still enjoy all what he has done over the years, his music will never be old.
Nor will our hero!
A new article in the English Scrapbook is added.
This article was origanally published in the Dutch Music Magazine "Muzeik Express" September 1980
The article is translated by Ron Bijnen, Holland.
The article is also commented by Mickey:
"
Mickey mentions several wrong quotations and fabrications in the Muziek Express article by the interviewer".
Besides have I added two new Videos in the YouTube library. It's a Dutch band Shotgun Shadow performing
"Switchboard Susan" and "You'll Never Get Me Up In One Of Those".
They are also competing in a Dutch Cover Band competition with Never Get Me… and if you will give them your vote,
please, do that here: "vote for the song" maybe a Mickey song will win. The voting is open until April 1st.
2nd of March 2010

All songs taken from a Cover Album by Johnny Powers "Long Blond Hair" released by Rollercoaster Records 2008.
These songs are added with kind permission from Rollercoaster Records and from which you also can buy the CD.
There is only one reason why a cover song is added and that is, they are really good.
All songs are interpreted in a totally different way than they are otherwise. All lovers of real "Rock-a-Billy" will have no objections.
Remember, for every sold Cover Album Mickey
receive one's share of royalty.
Message in Swedish for Swedish fans.
Jag vet inte hur många fans till Mickey som läser denna utmärkta blogg
skriven av Håkan Pettersson.
Det är i alla fall sveriges i särklass bästa blogg om musik.
Gå dit och läs, gå bakåt och läs även gamla blogginlägg. Massor av detaljer, massor att lära.
Håkan har skrivit på ett eller annat sätt sedan 1970. I morgon firar Håkan 40år, som musikskribent.
Ni får gärna kommentera det Håkan skriver, komma med ny information eller tillägg till det han skrivit.
Håkan skriver ofta om Mickey och Legend.
7th of January 2010
Four new songs are added for listening purpose only.
All songs taken from the latest studio album Mickey recorded "You Say Rock" released by Gazell Records.
These songs are added with kind permission from Gazell Records and from which you also can buy the CD.
You can also order song by song from thier digital download site.
If you have read the anecdotes you will also know that Mickey's personal favourite song is on this album.
That song is "Heave To My Hearties" and subsequently one of the songs chosen.
In the Cover Discography has one new song been added. That is the Swedish RoR singer Jerry Williams who
has recorded for him a new song "Some People Can't Dance". The song itself is covered since before.
This was the third song Jerry Williams covered. Jerry is also Executive Producer for "You Say Rock".
If you don't have this album, buy it directly from Gazell Records, cheaper than on eBay.

Finally it works. But I could'nt do this by my own. I have had expertise on the job.
And he has complained that I have told you that I'm working on it, while it was he.
But putting one to work is work that too, or?
16th of December 2009
The new feature, hovering with the mouse over text in Lyrics does not work properly.
It works fine in Internet Explorer, not at all in Google Chrome and poorly in Firefox.
I'm working on it, be patient or use Internet Explorer in the meantime. :-)
15th of December 2009
I have added a new feature in the Lyrics section.
If you move the Mouse over "Anecdotes" you will find some interesting reading about the song.
More anecdotes wil be added when there are more to add.
20th of November 2009
A new Video has been added "Southend".
The story of Southend where it all started for Mickey, Dr. Feelgood and others.
I have also added two more videos with songs by Mickey.
This time its The Hamsters performing "Taxi Driver" and "Chevrolet".
17th of November 2009
A new article is added in the English Scrapbook.
Thanks to Ron Binjen, Holland who has translated a Dutch article from the musical magazine "Oor" 1980.
The Gig List has also been updated with a change of set list for one concert in "Oss" 6th of June 1980.
There is also three new concert added, 1980 Utrecht, 1990 Nijmegen, 1991 Amsterdam.
Al of course in Holland. Again thanks to Ron Binjen.
11th of November 2009
A new Lyric was added "Foxfield Junction", but I made it wrong.
The lyrics was taken from a cover CD and this artist had changed a few word.
He had not only chenged some of the text, he had also called this song "Traditional".
Apparently to get around paying royalty fee to Mickey.
However, the writer of the song has personally told me the difference between Houston and Euston,
and also that there are some significant mileage between the two.
10th of November 2009
A new Video has been added "Don't Talk To Me" with Joe Cocker.
Just listen to how much Joe praises Mickey.
8th of November 2009
A new Lyric has been added "Foxfield Junction"
7th of November 2009
Some Videos are added for download in the Video Section.
Most of them are from TV-appearances. If they violate any copyrights? Well, honestly I don't know!
I have asked and have not heard a thing from the people at the various TV-stations.
All videos are free to downlaod, but if copyrights are violated they will be taken away.
The biggest so far are 526MB and may take some time to download on a slow speed connection...
One video shows Mickey at home and in his studio.
Mickey talks about life and his songs. This video is called "Long Distance Romancer".
Another video shows how Mickey and The Band writes a new song as well as record it at the same time.
This was made for a TV-Program called "Rock 'n' Roll Feeling". This video was broadcasted in Germany and Italy.
The song that Mickey writes is "Wait" and has never been recorded on any album or single.
The video is recorded in Germany, English is spoken and the subtitles are in Italian:-).
Then there is three videos recorded by other artists...
More to come...
Right click on them, save target where you want them... Enjoy!

Both articles is from Ron Bijnen, Holland who also translated the articles.
Thank you very much Ron.
There is also two updates in the Dutch Scrapbook. But they are in Dutch and scanned.
Again, thanks to Ron.
One of the translated articles gave me an aswer that I have searched for for more than 10 years.
It's about how the Juppanese album was recorded.
And this article turns everything that I thought I knew about the recording sessions upside down.
Many has told me how it was, but apparently everyone was wrong.
I can promise you some good reading.

1st of October 2009
Sorry for being so quiet for a time.
Have had all the trouble thinkable with my computer.
Anyway, John Bobin from early Orioles, Legend and present Legend for that matter has send me some really good news.
I am involved in several recording projects at present. I thought you might be interested to hear about them:
Hunt, Runt, Shunt and Cunningham:
We are currently recording a CD provisionally entitled: "Pack up while you're winning".
The musicians involved are:
Tony Sumner - Piano and vocals
Dennis Masterton - Guitars
Mickey Brownlee - Drums
John Bobin - Bass and backing vocals
Vic Collins - Pedal Steel
Graeme Turner - Saxes
James Sumner - Vocals and backing vocals
We will record a song called "Hunt Runt Shunt and Cunningham" (written for us by MJ!)
The Oriole Express:
This project is for some YouTube videos and also a CD, entitled "The Oriole Express".
The idea came from John Potter who is a very good rock and roll pianist and singer.
He was in Dr Feelgood in their early days and was also a member of Wilko Johnson's Solid Senders.
John was a big fan of The Orioles in the early sixties (one of Mickey Jupp's early bands of which I was a member,
together with Mo Witham and Bobby Clouter.) John says he wants this project to recapture The Orioles sound.
We have started recording very recently. Other musicians who will be involved will include Dennis Masterton and
Bill Legend (AKA Bill Fifield when he was in Legend with me.)
You will remember that we did the Red Boot album and two singles together.
It's been great to get back together with Bill after all these years. Here are a couple of links to YouTube.
The band features me (!) and Bill Fifield (Bill Legend) so there are two Mickey Jupp connections.
I hadn't played with Bill for about 36 years prior to doing these recordings!
Still great to be a part of The Red Boot Rhythm Section.
On The Oriole Express album we will do "Standing at the Crossroads".
More news later...By the way we are hoping that Mo Witham will guest on the OE album.
Videos with The Oriole Express:
Don't you just know it?
Jambalaya
Legend:
Chris East has another CD on the go with which I will also be involved. This is provisionally entitled "David".
Those links will be embedded here on the site later.
I will tell you later when and where those CD's will be available to buy.

Mickey's apperances on other artst's records.
I don't know if you know that Mickey co-produced one song on Steve Hooker's album "Really Gone".
Anyway, that album has now been re-mastered and issued on CD.
This time is the songs were Mickey co-produces extended with one more song.
I have talked to Steve and he has sent me the following message;
Lars
The Shakers recorded three tracks at Mick's Cook House Studio in 1982,
"Nothing But Talk" / "Prisoner Of Love" / "She's Afraid To Come".
Mick was particularly fond of "She's Afraid To Come"! We re-mixed "Nothing But Talk"
and added extra guitar and BV's.
The track appeared on the "Chance Encounter" compilation and Steve Hookers Shakers "Really Gone" album
and the 7" promo single (stereo and mono mixes!).
Although we had always been friendly before and after these sessions (The Shakers often supported The Jupp Band in London)
it was when Mick signed to Waterfront Records for the "X" album we became a lot closer - I helped him
put the band together with Mo / Ted / Figure - then Ed Deane. Booked their gigs and often went on the
road with them as tour manager. Many people talk of Mick's temperament or that he's difficult to get along with.
But I can honestly say that I enjoy his company / that we've never exchanged a cross word / and that I regard him as a friend!

The Juppanese album was recorded in its entirety with production by Nick Lowe. However, Dave Robinson

sounds exactly what it is, two different productions (side 1 and side 2 of the vinyl)
Unfortunately, I’ve no idea what happened to the missing masters.

John wrote this to me;
There were a lot of BBC Radio recordings of Legend which included Rock and Roll and R and B material
that we did not record for Vertigo.
The BBC told me that these tapes had all been ditched but if one of your web readers finds a can of old
tape in his attic it would be great to get a Legend Live album issued!
Take this as an invitation to search your attic and cellar for a long forgotten treasure. Happy hunting!

It has been awfully quiet since I've posted the latest news about Mickey. See below...
No comments, no feedback, no sadness, no nothing. What have happened to all of you?
Was this so devostating? There was not even a single comment, nor here or at Yahoo groups for that matter.
20th of August - 2006
The foolowing message was posted earlier today at groups.yahoo.com/group/MickeyJupp by me.
Hi all Mickey fans,gust - 2006
The foolowing message was posted earlier today at groups.yahoo.com/group/MickeyJupp by me.
Hi all Mickey fans,
There has been some talk about Mickey's retirement or not.(This has been talked about at groups.yahoo.com/group/MickeyJupp)
As for Mickey, yes he has definitely retired. He will not ever gig
again or record again.
The only thing he will be doing is recording
his "home demos". I know it's a tragedy but that's the way it is!
But he's still sending the demos out to various musicians, here in
Sweden to at least three different musicians.
Mickey has a back catalogue (recorded) of certainly more than a
hundred songs, never released, or to be if not any other musician
likes the song and does his/hers own version of it.
You can have a
look at all recorded cover songs in the discography section.
The second Swedish recording sessions (This has been talked about at groups.yahoo.com/group/MickeyJupp)
There have also been some rumours of a new Swedish record. That
rumour has been very true.
Some three four years ago were a studio
booked, musicians booked, and in fact all involved was booked.
The
backing band should have been The Refreshments; the same band that
SHOULD have been on "You Say Rock" as well.
We all know that that
never happened.
Why? Well that's written in the sky.
So what happened then? In the very last minute all was cancelled,
Mickey decided to retire permanently as you already know.
Since that
day there has been massive try to persuade Mickey to record that
record or as is was called "The Ultimate RnR Record".
But to no vain
that was.
One more thing that is true, Mickey lives in Cumbria and has a shop. (This has been talked about at groups.yahoo.com/group/MickeyJupp)
Mickey on the road again?(This has been talked about at groups.yahoo.com/group/MickeyJupp)
He most certainly is not doing some gigs in Germany. He is doing no
promotion for the re-releases.
However – if he is doing some gigs,
he certainly has not told Paul Moules or the other guys who would
have normally backed him.
So why have secrets from all parts to be
involved.
I know this is not all pleasant to read, but that's the fact we all
have to deal with.
On thing though, his music still lives and will still lives for
ever.
Lars

A couple of weeks ago did I get a mail from Cumbria, no not from Mickey but from a girl who knows Mickey very well.
It's very nice and I would likke to share it with all of you.
Hi,
I know Mickey Jupp, he lives near me in Cumbria and is very cool!
He lives near the pub where I used to work. Anyway, before i got
married, my boyfriend used to come and see me after work.
At the
end of the night, we used to go to other pubs around the valley.
Then I would come back to the pub (cause I used to live there too)
and my boss and others, i.e. Mickey Jupp, would say have you
been 'Claggin on' meaning kissing him good night. From then on, it
was a joke in the pub! A few months passed and the next thing I
knew, he had written a song about 'Claggin on'
It was so funny but I felt so priviledged that I had a song written about me and my
boyfriend!
How cool is that!

A mystery has been solved.
In the Cover Discography is a record listed "Jänkaren & Company", a Swedish band that I never seen or heard.
Anyway, I was told that they had issued a record with a Mickey Jupp song, well, that's not the case.
The band exists, that’s not the problem, but sadly to say, they have never recorded anything. But they play "I Should Be Lovin' This" at their gigs.
Thank you, Håkan. (Håkan Boström, drummer in the band "Jänkaren & Company").
