The CD pamphlet says All Rights Reserved 1994.
The composers are so readers know which songs they are. That's my best judgment on handling that.
I do believe it was Tennant who bailed out Mullins.
If Phil York is still around he should be persuaded to release the photo of both Jimmies together. Maybe let Getty images handle it.
ReviewThese recordings are the "lost master" types, here issued by recording engineer Phil York in 1994. They are not limited to 1964 but progress to the 1970 area. From #15 they are the late 60s style like Jimmy Webb or Gentle On My Mind.
16 and 20 were issued under the pseudonym James Bell, and 20 charted #51 Country.
His first recordings in Dallas in 1961 were made by DJ Jim Lowe (of Green Door fame). Some were local hits. On #04 the high voice backing is Bobby Hendricks. #01 is an alternate take of his regional hit. It was also recorded by Jimmy Velvet, who was Jimmie Tennant and had been Mullins' manager. "Something" is the Beatles' hit.
I got into this subject from remembering We Belong Together a bit from the radio in 1963, which was by Tennant. Explanations of the identities were given by Phil York when he sold some CDs on ebay. Otherwise nobody knew about this Jimmy Velvit, and the CD was withdrawn by Collectables after a couple years.
This is a fascinating temptation for those who know this subject. There would be some around his territory of Dallas and Oklahoma who would have this CD.
