 Thanks Boursin. This sounds exactly right. Paul Oliver was THE blues authority in the early sixties and I still have a first edition copy of his "Blues Fell This Morning" book (on pre-war country blues) which I bought three or four years later. Sorry I've only just spotted your comment - I spend too much on-line time at 45cat and don't come over here as often as I should.

 Mickey - this was probably something from Conversation with the Blues, a BBC documentary series made by Paul Oliver in the US during the summer of 1960. It became fairly legendary among British blues fans, so much so that bits of it were later issued both on a Decca LP and as a book.

The LP has just one interview snippet from Hooker (the book has five), but I'm sure that Oliver also recorded his music and played it on the radio to go with the interview. Oliver writes in the book how Hooker "had much to say but was hindered by a nervous speech impediment which only disappeared when he began to sing"...

 Wait a couple of days and we'll know, Bill, as there is one on eBay right now. Currently at over £450 and the reserve has not yet been met!

 I remember shockwaves going thru the music press about this time, when someone had paid
the huge sum of £10 for the 10" Burnette album in an auction . What's the going rate now, I shudder to think.

 I remember the Mike Raven programmes and still have a few recorded on tape. These include a prog where he played the Johnny Burnette trio 10" Coral LP. This resulted in the record being reissued on Ace of Hearts label.

 Actually the first time I ever heard John Lee Hooker was on BBC radio in 1960 or '61. I left the U.K. in 1962 but I can remember this (half hour? one hour?) program unexpectedly came on the radio one night about blues music. I can't remember what other artists were played but I DO remember Hooker because his sound just blew me away. Can anyone pinpoint this for me and who presented it. If I remember rightly the presenter was very well-informed.

 John Dunn played this a few times on his show on the BBC Light Programme/Radio 2 in the 1960s which was quite unusual for any kind of blues record then. Anybody else remember Mike Raven's Rock 'n' Roll and blues programmes on Radio 390?

 He also recorded this song for Mercury. I'm not sure which version I heard first or whether maybe he sang it on BBC telly during one of his European tours. I do remember seeing Memphis Slim doing "Beer Drinking Woman" on BBC TV in maybe 1959 or '60 and it was one of those rare occasions when my dad (a jazz fan) and I both sat and enjoyed the same thing. Dad never did connect with Little Richard but I caught him playing my Ray Charles records more than once and he did get me into the likes of Johnny Hodges and Ellington.

 I have a vague memory of this being on a Vogue ep that a mate owned back about 1962/3

 Not sure if it was this version but I heard Broonzy doing "Get Back, Get Back" sometime in the late '50s when I was about 15 and it really made a big impression - opened my eyes to the whole race issue in America. As a "protest" song I think it was very effective. And it was one of the tracks that got me into blues music, so a landmark song for me.
