Alan Bown Set - Gonna Fix You Good (Everytime You're Bad)

[PurplePillEater]

Kill this version, Little Anthony and The Imperials just did it right !

[nicmart]

Search YouTube for great solo work by Jess Roden.

[PaulGTSE]

can i just point out on vocals is JESS RODEN, get it right.

[barpypardlo]

PLEASE! trya nd hear the original by Little Anthony and the Imperials.

Many US soul/r&B songs were covered by UK groups in the 60's; this is possbly the worst.

[ronwhycherly]

Don't talk daft. Alan Bown Set were a great live band. Try and get the one they did live at the Marquee with them on one side and Jimmy James and the Vagabonds on the other. Get a copy of that album in good condition and it is quite a collector's item.

[barpypardlo]

Thanks for your reply. Not only do I have the LP which you mention, but I was there when it was recorded.

Incidentally, John Helliwell (of the ABS, and later Supertramp) is a personal friend, and HE agrees that their version of 'Gonna fix you good' was crap.

steveelliot -

try a google search...A couple of years ago I was able to buy a CD of ABS with all the singles and a 30 minute live set from the 1965 ? / 1966 ? album with ABS called ' Live at the Marquee '

[steveelliott2003]

Thanks for that !

[northerngirl72]

Great version!!!!!! Love it.Thanks

[steveelliott2003]

Anybody know where I can get this on CD? I've got it on a 45 single which has been to that many parties that it's got more scratches than a hawthorn bush !

[norrieg]

Got a couple of Jess Roden albums from 1970's one called simply 'Jess Roden' and another one when he was in Bronco and this album is called 'Ace of Sunlight' both very good. Great talent, where is he now?

[maida1982a]

when i saw roger chapman in london at shepherd's bush empire, in 1996 (Nov), i think jess opened but i could be wrong.

can anyone confirm?

[nicmart]

Jess Roden did some tremendous albums in the 1970s that have never been released on CD.

[hayleazes]

Currently available on CD.

1. His 1974 album on Island

2. First two Bronco albums on one CD

3. Butts Band album (with John Densmore and Ray Manzarek from the Doors)

[IShootPpl4funNmoney]

wow, i'm even surprised to hear a tune from this band here.

does anyone have the set playing "hobby horses head" and "all along the watchtower" on BBC Top of the Pops?

it was with jeff bannister doing the vocals.

two of the best tunes from alan bown set.

The vocalist is Jess Roden who went on to form the band Bronco and subsequently a solo career and the The Jess Roden Band.I'm going to post some Bronco songs in the near future.

[Funkyme4]

I hope you will be able to post Jess roden films

tkx

[ronwhycherly]

It was when he joined the Alan Bown set that he started calling himself Robert Palmer, his first name was Alan.

I wish I could find a copy of the live album from the Marquee Club from 1966 with the Alan Bown Set on one side and Jimmy James and the Vagabonds on the other.

[oldgreydeckmeister]

Re Live at the Marquee....The ABS tracks are included on a ABS CD which I was able to buy a couple of years ago....Try a Google and come back to me if you can't find it.... I'll see if I can find my copy but it'll be a few months as I now live in France and most of my CD's are back in the UK....Good luck

[TheeBoyWonder]

I wish the Bronco LPs were reissued. My copies are hopelessly scratched up.

[simplysouldj]
