Mickey Jupp news.
22nd of June 2008 A few more svans are added in the Side Project discography as well as in the LP Compilation discography.
For those of you who do not receive the newsletter; here is an old message;
In the Side Project Discography have I added a 12" LP with a song produced by Mickey.
Its "A Chance Encounter" Promo 12" compilation LP with one song produced by Mickey.
I have no further news about the CD when it finally will be released.
This is what Chris East has written to me some days ago, read it carefully.
Mickey has already recorded his voice on all the tracks AND the tracks for the Country album that will follow this one.
We are currently mixing the tracks in preparation for Mo Witham and Alan Parish to come in
and do their overdubs and it sounds....GREAT!
How does that sound in your ears? Its soon time to order the next album...
10th of June 2008 A new section is added, a band member list, it's found in the navigator.
This is Mickey's band members throughout the recording years.

10th of May 2008Mickey's apperances on other artst's records.
I don't know if you know that Mickey co-produced one song on Steve Hooker's album "Really Gone".
Anyway, that album has now been re-mastered and issued on CD.
This time is the songs were Mickey co-produces extended with one more song.
I have talked to Steve and he has sent me the following message;
Lars
The Shakers recorded three tracks at Mick's Cook House Studio in 1982,
"Nothing But Talk" / "Prisoner Of Love" / "She's Afraid To Come".
Mick was particularly fond of "She's Afraid To Come"! We re-mixed "Nothing But Talk" and added extra guitar and BV's.
The track appeared on the "Chance Encounter" compilation and Steve Hookers Shakers "Really Gone" album
and the 7" promo single (stereo and mono mixes!).
Although we had always been friendly before and after these sessions (The Shakers often supported The Jupp Band in London)
it was when Mick signed to Waterfront Records for the "X" album we became a lot closer - I helped him
put the band together with Mo / Ted / Figure - then Ed Deane. Booked their gigs and often went on the
road with them as tour manager. Many people talk of Mick's temperament or that he's difficult to get along with.
But I can honestly say that I enjoy his company / that we've never exchanged a cross word / and that I regard him as a friend!

If anyone has a recording from that time, Please tell us about it.
John wrote this to me;
There were a lot of BBC Radio recordings of Legend which included Rock and Roll and R and B material
that we did not record for Vertigo.
The BBC told me that these tapes had all been ditched but if one of your web readers finds a can of old
tape in his attic it would be great to get a Legend Live album issued!
Take this as an invitation to search your attic and cellar for a long forgotten treasure. Happy hunting!
The Cover discography has got its 53rd covered song. More than impressive!

13th of September
It has been awfully quiet since I've posted the latest news about Mickey. See below...
No comments, no feedback, no sadness, no nothing. What have happened to all of you?
Was this so devostating? There was not even a single comment, nor here or at Yahoo groups for that matter.
20th of August - 2006
The foolowing message was posted earlier today at groups.yahoo.com/group/MickeyJupp by me.
Hi all Mickey fans,gust - 2006
The foolowing message was posted earlier today at groups.yahoo.com/group/MickeyJupp by me.
Hi all Mickey fans,
There has been some talk about Mickey's retirement or not.(This has been talked about at groups.yahoo.com/group/MickeyJupp)
As for Mickey, yes he has definitely retired. He will not ever gig
again or record again.
The only thing he will be doing is recording
his "home demos". I know it's a tragedy but that's the way it is!
But he's still sending the demos out to various musicians, here in
Sweden to at least three different musicians.
Mickey has a back catalogue (recorded) of certainly more than a
hundred songs, never released, or to be if not any other musician
likes the song and does his/hers own version of it.
You can have a
look at all recorded cover songs in the discography section.
The second Swedish recording sessions (This has been talked about at groups.yahoo.com/group/MickeyJupp)
There have also been some rumours of a new Swedish record. That
rumour has been very true.
Some three four years ago were a studio
booked, musicians booked, and in fact all involved was booked.
The
backing band should have been The Refreshments; the same band that
SHOULD have been on "You Say Rock" as well.
We all know that that
never happened.
Why? Well that's written in the sky.
So what happened then? In the very last minute all was cancelled,
Mickey decided to retire permanently as you already know.
Since that
day there has been massive try to persuade Mickey to record that
record or as is was called "The Ultimate RnR Record".
But to no vain
that was.
One more thing that is true, Mickey lives in Cumbria and has a shop. (This has been talked about at groups.yahoo.com/group/MickeyJupp)
Mickey on the road again?(This has been talked about at groups.yahoo.com/group/MickeyJupp)
He most certainly is not doing some gigs in Germany. He is doing no
promotion for the re-releases.
However – if he is doing some gigs,
he certainly has not told Paul Moules or the other guys who would
have normally backed him.
So why have secrets from all parts to be
involved.
I know this is not all pleasant to read, but that's the fact we all
have to deal with.
On thing though, his music still lives and will still lives for
ever.
Lars

4th of August - 2006
A couple of weeks ago did I get a mail from Cumbria, no not from Mickey but from a girl who knows Mickey very well.
It's very nice and I would likke to share it with all of you.
Hi,
I know Mickey Jupp, he lives near me in Cumbria and is very cool!
He lives near the pub where I used to work. Anyway, before i got
married, my boyfriend used to come and see me after work.
At the
end of the night, we used to go to other pubs around the valley.
Then I would come back to the pub (cause I used to live there too)
and my boss and others, i.e. Mickey Jupp, would say have you
been 'Claggin on' meaning kissing him good night. From then on, it
was a joke in the pub! A few months passed and the next thing I
knew, he had written a song about 'Claggin on'
It was so funny but I felt so priviledged that I had a song written about me and my
boyfriend!
How cool is that!

For all you fans, there is a new book out; "Bark Staving Ronkers", written by John Bobin, former member of Orioles and Legend.

From the Publisher
Experience the spark and excitement of the 60's tumultuous music scene from a man who lived through
it all — English bass guitarist John Bobin. Bobin’s candid clear-eyed look at the perils and pitfalls of fame – including
the occasional disastrous tour, give scope and breadth to an absolutely engrossing tale.
About the Author
John Bobin was born in Southend on Sea, in Essex, England in 1948.
A bass guitarist since the age of twelve, he has recorded for Polydor, Columbia and Vertigo and has worked for pirate radio stations as well.

A mystery has been solved.
In the Cover Discography is a record listed "Jänkaren & Company", a Swedish band that I never seen or heard.
Anyway, I was told that they had issued a record with a Mickey Jupp song, well, that's not the case.
The band exists, that’s not the problem, but sadly to say, they have never recorded anything. But they play "I Should Be Lovin' This" at their gigs.
Thank you, Håkan. (Håkan Boström, drummer in the band "Jänkaren & Company").
