The Spencer Davis Group

Listen/Download The Spencer Davis Group – Trampoline

Greetings all

Welcome to another groovy week here at the Corners.

I thought I’d get things started this week by dipping into the Hammond crates for something cool.

Oddly enough, I dug up this German Fontana pressing of the Spencer Davis Group’s ‘Trampoline’ right around the corner from my crib here in Central NJ.

I was unfamiliar with either of the tunes on the 45, and since it was a dollar (and I really dig the SDG) I grabbed it and took it home.

Good thing too, because in addition to the cool ‘When I Come Home’ (co-written by Jackie Edwards and Stevie Winwood), you get the very swinging bit of Mod soul on the flip.

Released in 1966, ‘Trampoline’ sees our boy Stevie working it out on the organ and piano with enough groove grease for the dancers.

The 45 fell in between their big British hits ‘Somebody Help Me’ and ‘Gimme Some Lovin’ and grazed the UK Top 10.

I hope you dig the tune, and I’ll see you all on Wednesday.

Keep the faith

Larry
