APRIL'05 NEWS

ANOTHER SANCTUARY DOUBLE CD


I have lots to tell you so let's get cracking! First off, hopefully in May, Sanctuary Records will be releasing the most exciting MUNGO JERRY product for years, maybe of all time. A double CD called 'MUNGO IN DISGUISE - THE RARITIES' will be jam packed with all sorts of gems from the archives, a lot of which have either not been issued at all or are just plain rarities. I don't know the final track listing as yet but I'm hoping that the package will include all three tracks that were recorded for the 'YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE IN THE ARMY' album back in 1971 but not included on the final cut. Those tracks were - 'SHORTY GEORGE', 'OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN' and 'YOU GOT ME DIZZY' - all three are superb!



HOLLYWOOD 2005


This year's 35th anniversary gigs draw ever closer and I can announce that tickets for the Sunday the 19th of June gig at the Forum Theatre in Stoke-on-Trent are available from either, Derek priced at £10 each, or organiser GARRY MARSH who has allowed us to have 80 front row seats exclusively for fan club members which will sold on a 'first come, first served' basis. The previous day sees an outdoor gig at The Coppice Special School with Ray playing a special set. Fan club members are welcome with the school asking for a £5 donation rather than ticket purchases as such. Again, contact Derek or Garry for more information.

    MORE FAN CLUB CD's


    The forthcoming fan club CD's - 'IMPALA SAGA', 'LOVIN'IN THE ALLEYS', 'FIGHTIN' IN THE STREETS', 'RAY DORSET & MUNGO JERRY' and 'VIG - LIVE IN BULGARIA' are likely to be released on the Saraja label, and in the usual 'fan club' slim cases but this time in clear boxes. ROB KAMPHUES has designed the sleeves, sticking closely to the originals and yours truly has helped out with some of the sleeve notes.

    More fan club CD's will follow and you can expect to see the HORIZON album 'BOOGIE UP', which is currently being re-mastered ready for release and a recording of the 'Legends Of Rhythm & Blues Tour' that Ray did in the autumn of 2003.



    MUNGO MP3 DOWNLOADS


    Work has started on a new official website where fans will be able to download mp3's of literally hundreds of MUNGO JERRY/RAY DORSET tracks, and a new on-line shop is being prepared enabling fans to buy merchandise on-line via credit card. This will be in addition to the fan club shop.





    IN THE RAW - VOLUME 2


    Derek is now in possesion of a new batch of T.V clips and is planning to make them available to fans via the shop as 'IN THE RAW - Vol.2'. He has a bit of material that he already had to add to them and he also plans to include the Dutch television show which has RAY DORSET, COLIN EARL, MIKE COLE, BARRY MURRAY & ELIOT COHEN talking about the making of 'IN THE SUMMERTIME'.
