Comments and Reviews


Neil Forbes 9th Jan 2015		The cover shows a young Tom Jones in his heyday, likely taken on the set of his TV show. He looks a hell of a lot older now!



Record Collector 9th Jan 2015		hmm looks like from 1965-69 period



Neil Forbes 9th Jan 2015		Say You'll Stay Until Tomorrow came out on the EMI-International label as EMI-11385 in 1977. The tracks on this album are sourced from Decca. Jones "jumped ship" in 1977 from Decca to a brief period at EMI before moving on to other labels.



Record Collector 9th Jan 2015		No track of stay with me until tomorrow love that song



Neil Forbes 9th Jan 2015		"Did Tom have chills and fever?" Good comeback, R.C.!



Record Collector 9th Jan 2015		Did Tom have chills and fever haha



Neil Forbes 9th Jan 2015		Fellow goes to see his doctor and says "Doc, I have this awful compulsion to visit karaoke bars and sing Delilah, Green, Green Grass Of Home and What's New Pussycat". The doc looks at him and says "my boy, you've come down with TomJonesitis!" The patient asks: "is that rare?" To which the doc replies.... wait for it.... "It's Not Unusual!"



Record Collector 9th Jan 2015		Yep as I remember the commercial



Neil Forbes 9th Jan 2015		A lot of J. & B. album covers were same, front and back. The label of this one suggests a later release than was posted. Up to about 1982 or 1983, J. & B. labels were basic yellow with the brand at the top. So I think Record Collector is very likely correct in dating this at 1983.



Record Collector 9th Jan 2015		It was released in 1983



Lee Wrecker 17th Jan 2014		I've sent a correction and pointed to your gumshoe work, Phil.



PhilMH 17th Jan 2014		Hi Lee, this entered the album chart the week of 15 June 1981. That probably would have been pretty soon after the release date, as J & B albums were heavily advertised on TV in those days. Plus, the date just about coincides with my recollection (admittedly not very precise after 33 years!) of when the Decca label (the source of these tracks) moved from EMI to PolyGram, following the sale of UK Decca to PolyGram in January 1980.



Lee Wrecker 17th Jan 2014		Most likely early 80's release but not sure about the exact date so I left it blank. The back cover is identical to the front (except for "Licensed from PolyGram records" written in the left corner) so I didn't bother to scan it.
