Additions from Heikki
Suosalo from an interview he did with Tommy Tate for the
Soul Express magazine www.soulexpress.net and Bob
Abrhams, Bob Leszczak
Also from Tim Whitsett who had this to say:
"The Turrabull Brothers, was
a joke name, as was the label “Temporaire” and the
Record’s catalog number (0000000).
The band is actually Tim Whitsett &
The Imperial Showband – Tim Whitsett singing lead, Tommy Tate &
Jimmy Hodo on backup vocals.
Not sure why (1) we felt the urge
to release this particular record with a “joke” name and (2) why the
heck we thought it
was a “joke,” because it doesn’t
seem funny now. Maybe you had to be there, and it was so long ago,
I’m no longer there."
Best regards,
Tim Whitsett
Further information
from Tim Whitsett:
"Handy Andy" / "Don't Play the
Role" is indeed credited to Tommy & The Derbys, and it
was released on the Swing label, not Big Ten.
The confusion arises from the
rather incestuous relationship of the Jackson,
Mississippi music scene at the time. Swing and Big Ten
were both owned by Bob McRee. He and his partners, Cliff
& Ed Thomas, owned the studio and production company
under whose aegis these records were cut. And my band
was the backing band on nearly every release produced by
Thomas-McRee-Thomas between 1964 and 1967.
Ergo:
"Handy Andy" / "Don't Play the
Role" - Swing label
Tommy & The Derbys
Tommy = Tommy Tate
The Derbys = Dorothy Moore,
Cliff & Ed Thomas, Petsy McKewn (just thrown together as
backing singers for this session)
Backing Band: Tim Whitsett &
The Imperial Show Band
Produced by Ed Thomas, Bob
McRee, Cliff Thomas
Songwriters: Ed Thomas, Bob
McRee, Cliff Thomas
Studio MAC, Jackson,
Mississippi
By the way, none of us have a
clue where to get a copy of the record. Tapes and
records of the 100s of sides produced by Thomas-McRee-Thomas
were irreparably damaged in storage years ago, so none
of the writers/producers have mementos of their years in
the studio.
Best regards,
Tim
