Hi Steelers,


I'd appreciate a heads up if anyone has a line on any Eddy Drake 45's on the Toppa label.

Specifically looking for:

TOPPA 1050 -I'LL LEAVE THE FRONT DOOR OPEN / KEY TO MY HEART

TOPPA 1080 -AS TEARDROPS FALL / CALL ME IN THE MORNING

Thank you kindly.


Marty

Ron,


Tht would be great if you can check and many thanks for answering my call. Its a pleasure to communicate with someone who played with Eddy. Did you appear on any recordings? If so which?

I am particularly fond of Toppa 1050 I'll Leave The Front Door Open, as both A and B are killer sides. I'm currently refurbishing a Wurlitzer 2700 Juke from 1963 and once she's up and running (in a few months) I want the BEST records in there and the Eddy Drake Toppa records will definitely go in there (if I can find any).


Thanks again,

Marty

Hey Marty, I played steel for Eddy for a while too. I don't have any of his recordings though.

Ron, do you know how to get in touch with his family? They might have some that they'd let loose of..........JH in Va.

Thanks guys. I want to stress that this isn't a get rich sell it on eBay trick. I genuinely love his sides on Toppa and really want a copy for the Jukebox. Not even sure what these are worth!

I made the worst mistake ever when I neglected to send Eddy a get well card as he was in hospital fighting cancer. The address was posted on this board and I procrastinated. I'll NEVER AGAIN make that mistake!
