4 - Episode 0004

OTB 0004 (1CD) 12 December 1985, 8.05-9pm Stanley Booth (Part 2), Brian Poole (with unreleased tracks), live music from Borderline Case and a feature on Marvin Gaye. This time Stanley Booth talks about his memoir, The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones. He knocked around with Brian Jones and tells him, “You hate each other.” He also says, “In ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’, Brian plays an 8-bar break on bottleneck guitar unlike any music ever played before by a European. It’s just eight bars but it’s sensational and exhilarating and it shows how thoroughly Brian possessed the tradition of the blues. I was talking to Bo Diddly a few weeks and he remembered what an incredible blues musician he was.” And if that doesn’t want to make you hear the record again, I don’t know what will. I visited Brian Poole at his home in Barking, which turned out to be well worthwhile as he gave me copies of unissued Decca recordings by Brian Poole and the Tremeloes. They had never been played on air and I played ‘I’ll Go Crazy’ (James Brown cover), ‘Last Night’ (Buddy Holly cover, keyboards by Norman Petty), ‘Sure Miss You Baby’ (original bluesy song) and a very fine ‘You Don’t Know Me’ (Lesley Gore), which could easily have been a hit single. Brian Poole: “I’d love to see them released and maybe we’ll get some royalties this time.” Among the What’s On is The Wizard Of Oz on horseback, which my wife Anne was organising in Lydiate. Live. Borderline Case perform ‘The Going Home Song’, written by Jim James. Line-up: Jim James, Raphael Callaghan and Tony Gibbons Booth MD 0043 T, Poole MD 0067 T
