PART 2
ST.HELENS (1983-1992) After thinking that it was the end for the MUNGO JERRY fan club, it was extremely heartening to hear that a guy called DEREK WADESON who was based in St.Helens on Merseyside had set things up again. Derek explained in the MUNGO JERRY book, 'BEYOND THE SUMMERTIME'; "It was while Ray was doing a tour of radio stations to promote 'KNOCKIN'ON HEAVENS DOOR' that I first spoke to him about resurrecting the club. At that time, his then manager CYRIL WAYNE wanted his daughter Gail to have a go, so the idea was put on ice until Gail's venture failed and Ray was ready to release 'THERE GOES MY HEART AGAIN'. By this time I had known Ray for several years, attending more gigs and collecting more records than my bank balance dares to remember. So with Ray's blessing, I set about starting up the MUNGO JERRY FAN CLUB MK4. It was initially made much harder due to Cyril having lost all the old fans addresses, so I had to start from scratch. I first set about calling it the MUNGO JERRY INFORMATION FAN CLUB, but quickly dropped the 'information' from the title when people started writing to me giving me addresses that they suggested I write to if I wanted info on the group! My main aim over the years has been to keep fans up to date with Ray's/Mungo's happenings, and to try and supply as many old records to help keep their collections complete, a task that has become harder over the years. Ray has helped the cause no end by making available through the club some of his unreleased material on cassette, and during the last year or so (1990), PAUL KING has given me the rights to release some of his unheard product. This has helped keep a smile on many a fans face, so cheers lads".

THE RELEASE OF THE 'SOUL PARTY' CASSETTE
|
Even if, by today's modern standards, things could probably be considered pretty basic, all this new and regular information was manna from heaven to me. Mungo were rocking again and Derek did a brilliant job letting everybody know about it, and there was a steady flow of 'fan club only' cassettes to get the juices flowing. Some fans were and still are a little critical about the quality of the recordings, and maybe some of the sleeves (photocopies in most cases), but I loved them all. I mean, c'mon...where else were you gonna lay your hands on these special MUNGO JERRY recordings - demos from Ray's archives, live recordings, radio shows - this was wonderful! |
