We must have listened to a different album entirely. The version of Black Beauty I heard, had "Do the Jerk" and a bunch of instrumentals, Arthur recorded with Johnny Echols in the early sixties. It had some R&B stuff from the same period by Ronnie and the Pomona Casuals, and a dude named "Little Ray." There was also a "nursery rhyme" called "Beep Beep." Along with several other decidedly un-heavy, and completely forgettable songs. Oh I forgot to mention the rousing rendition of "It's the Marlin." Grammy quality stuff no doubt!

My Black Beauty boot has..
1-The Ninth Wave
2-Rumble-Still-Skins
3-Soul Food
4-Luci Baines
5-It's The Marlin Baby
6-Everybody Jerk
7-Slow Jerk
8-I Been Trying
9-My Diary
10-I'm Good & Evil
11-Midnight Sun
12-Walk Right In
13-Skid, Not Really A Friend
14-Beep Beep
15-Stay Away
16-I Got To Find It
17-Lonely Man
18-Where Were you
19-You're Just A Product Of The Times
20-Give Me A Little Energy
21-Feathered Fish #1
22-Feathered Fish #2
The first nine tracks are more of a historical document and of
interest as a Love fan, for me.
The remaining tracks are quite good and most bands would kill to have the talent to
perform such Hendrix-meets-Love like tracks. A heavier time, but some great vocal
and guitar work. I really like it.
So if you don't have it, or want an official release with liner notes, go for it!
And the studio version alone of "Product Of the Times" is worth it...
And Feathered Fish #1 & 2 are good LOVE!

When I look at the title in my iTunes player it is" Black Beauty & Rarities", so I assume the Rarities will not appear on the new release....just the good stuff. Not that the rarities are not good, they just need to be on a separate CD.

Hi Steve 64, i also want to get ARTHUR LEE, especially Remastered. but on the Play.com list the cheapest copy i could see was £8/99 ??
I had this yearsago on tape, but lent it to a friend that never returned it.
I,d sure buy it for £4.99 though. |

you're not missing much. Even "Thailand" is better
I did a cover of Lee's "Many Rivers to Cross" off that:

haven't heard the Jimmy Cliff version (from The Harder They Come film I think) |

Arthur, and Johnny both, said they received a stern admonition from the Secret Service, for recording a "vulgar" record about the Presidents daughter. That in itself makes suffering through the rest of the album almost worthwhile.... I said almost!  |

| I saw Arthur do this song a few times on the UK FC tour in 2003, but I wouldn't call it a masterpiece (my son liked it but he was only 7 at the time!!) |

| I'm surprised you weren't impressed Dukie? I thought it was a riveting cross, between "You light up my life" and Every body do the Jerk. |

my copy was £4.99 and is on it's way to me, maybe they had just a few at that price and now have put the price up..

re Black Beauty release in April
i suppose it will be the album itself without those extra earlytracks that were added for the bootleg.
Reel to Real next. then some unreleased later material.
