Un item que yo desconocia de la historia de The Outlaws es que bobby Graham (tambien conocido como "el hombre que le dijo que no a The Beatles") se fue de la factoria Meek tras discutir con este por las regalias y el derecho de autor del tema de THE OUTLAWS ;"Crazy Drums" ... se fue , a pesar de que el simple salio editado bajo el siguiente nombre ..The Outlaws Featuring Their Drummer Bobbie Graham y como autores DUKE (joe Meek) y Graham
Graham participo en inumerables sesiones pero edito dos simples solistas bajo su propio nombre , en los 4 temas lo acompaña Jimmy Page y a pesar de no tener que ver directamente con la familia Purpura igualmente estara disponibles en este blog .
Nunca quedo claro quien es "JAMIE LEE" obviamente un seudonimo , tal vez del mismisomo Dave Adams co-autor del tema (Adams y blackmore tambien coincidieron en Silas Dooley Jr, Burr Bailey & the Six Shooters , Heinz & The Wild Boys y siguen las firmas ...)
Nada Nuevo solo agrego memorabilia nueva que si lo pongo en el post original se pierden ... 
En 1961 Ritchie Blackmore estaba en The Dominators (foto mas antigua de Ritchie en vivo?)
Las primer grabacion de Ritchie Blackmore es un simple que nunca se edito
Hay pocos datos sobre las sesiones en las que participaron The Outlaws , menos datos hay sobre las sesiones de grabacion que finalmente no vieron la luz , los siguientes temas se supone formarian parte de un larga duracion "Tribute to Buddy Holly" se tratan en su totalidad de temas compuestos por el popular interprete e interpretados por Mike Berry & The Outlaws en 1961 ( la version corta oficial editada en formato EP la pueden encontrar en este blog AQUI)
Reg Hawkins - Billy Gray - Danny Rivers - Bobby Graham - the Emoire Theatre Butlins Holiday Camp, Filey, Yorkshire 1960
To Bobby Graham History: the invitation to join his first rock 'n' roll band in Spring I960 proved irresistible. An old school-mate, Billy Halsey, had formed Billy Gray and the Stormers. "Billy knocked on my door and said 'do you fancy going off to Butlins Holiday camp in Filey in Yorkshire for a summer season gig' remembers Graham. He declined -no, I'm a jazz musician". so the offer was made more attractive. there will be plenty of booze, plenty of girls' -'no, no' - 'it's 20 pounds a week'. Suddenly I became a rock 'n' roll musician".

So off Graham went to Yorkshire, playing the chart hits of the day, mainly covers of Cliff and the Shadows. In September I960, after the Butlin's season, the Stormers split when Halsey got married. Joe Meek was interested in Mike Berry, but didn't like his backing band, so the Stormers were talked into reforming. Meek renamed them The Outlaws in late I960, "I thought (The Outlaws) was a bit camp. At the time we did what we were told" recalls Graham.
MICK BERRY AND THE OUTLAWS
Mick Berry & The (Originals) Outlaws 1960
The original Outlaws date back to December 1960 when they, as members of the then recently disbanded 'Billy Gray & The Stormers', reformed without Billy, on the promise of better things to come in the shape of a recording contract from the legendary producer Joe Meek, initially to back his newly signed artist Mike Berry. As it transpired, when Joe realised what a talented bunch they were, he was very keen to get them to record in their own right, as well as back virtually every other solo artist under Joe’s control.
The First apperance on record was Backing Berry is on a version of the Shirelles "Will you Love me Tomorrow" the track boasted a big orchestral arragement by Charles Blackwell and the vocal part is reputed to have needed more than twenty takes before meek was finally satisfied ...

THE OUTLAWS #1
They were called Outlaws in December 1960.
They used cowboy clothes, and their songs were about that subject.
Mike Berry (vocals)
Billy Kuy (guitar)
Reg Hawkins (guitar)
Chas Hodges (bass)
Bobby Graham (drums)
A superb band, they were approached by the late, mythical producer, Joe Meek.
From The Bobby Graham Story :The Outlaws became a Meek house band, backing up Mike Berry and John Leyton as well as recording on their own. Meek's unusual approach to songwriting made an impression: "He used to come to us with demos of him singing what he thought he heard in his head, but he would use strange backing tracks that were nothing to do with the song. Occasionally he might try to play a few notes on the piano. We used to rewrite the things, but we would always see his name on the label, not ours!
You didn't dare criticise Joe, as he might throw a wobbly. I didn't like his occult thing, I'd seen him and (songwriter) Geoff Goddard on a oujia board session. He told me he was talking to Buddy Holly and Mario Lanza. Its no secret we didn't get on. He was a sad little man, a very lonely person. He couldn't relate to people"
They also released two singles:
SIDE A - Swingin' low (Mar 61, HMV)
SIDE B - Spring is near (Mar 61, HMV)
SIDE A - Ambush (Jun 61, HMV)
SIDE B - Indian brave (Jun 61, HMV)
Swingin' Low is a Top Fifty in Aplil 1961
It's Interesting to note that for the flipside Meek used a track that had been written for his abortive space fantasy "I Hear A New World". One of the demo tracks for the project which he had Releaded on his Short-Lived Triumph lavel called "Valley of The Saroos" Was transformed into a lush ballad titled "Spring Is Near"

* El Tema "Diggin' My Potatoes" esta acreditado tanto a Ritchie Blackmore como a Jimmy Page ... es posible que uno toque en el lado B y otro en el Lado A pero absolutamente improbable que ambos compartan la grabacion ...
