MICKEY BAKER –
ZANZIE
45 rpm (EP) Versailles,
90 S 370, France, 1963
Let’s start the month of March with some fun
music, a French EP by US Rhythm & Blues guitarist (and long time French
resident) Mickey “Guitar” Baker.
It‘s
my late tribute to Mickey Baker who left us in November 2012.
I do not have any discography details on the
session, done in France with studio musicians See the post on Tony Milton - Rarity # 38 - to have an idea of musicians who
took part in these sessions. It was probably recorded around the same time.
Great
sixties popcorn / Madison instrumentals.
Very enjoyable if you like that kind of stuff. I do!
Back sleeve notes by Kurt Mohr.
The rip is
mine, the cover pictures are from the web (better than those I took).
Tracks
A1 Zanzie
A2 Baker’s
Other Dozen
B1 Baby Let’s Dance
B2 Oh Yeah Ah Ah Ah
Trivia – meeting with
remarkable men
Mickey Baker is the only bluesman I ever met on
a tramway in Brussels.

ReplyDeleteboogieman,here what I know about this gem
ReplyDeleteLabel: Versailles [90 S 370] 45 rpm (EP) France 1963
and session records are now long lost and the back cover doesn't give any personnel other then Mickey "Guitar" Baker ~ oldhippierick
Thanks Rick, I have amended the date in the title. Same year as the Tony Milton session, probably more or less the sam crew as the sound is pretty similar.
DeleteCheers
n.b.: I have another Baker French EP in the pipeline.
Baby Let's Dance and Oh Yeah, Ah, Ah were released on King in USA, so these two were probably not recorded in France
