My TRIBUTE to Britain's Greatest Rock N Roller......

A DEAL YOU REALLY SHOULDN'T MISS (From http://www.billyfury.com) Please visit this site to order

This six-track CD should be considered essential listening by an Fury fan.

Five of the tracks are either new versions of known recordings, or completely new.

They have all been taken from acetates or cassette tape, and for this reason, they are not, and never can be, of complete studio quality. They are, however, absolutely brilliant, and I believe they are the most important Billy Fury tracks to have been issued for many years.

So what do you get?

I Must Be Dreaming ha s a special significance to billyfury.com.  The song was announced in 1964 as Billy's next realease, but I'm Lost Without You appeared in the shops instead.  Alan Coombe, however, had a radio recording, which was included as a bonus track on the billyfury.com tribute album, Without You, in 2002.  A real breakthrough came in 2006, when the astounding version included on this CD was discovered.

The second Billy Fury lost gem is In Thoughts Of You, a fascinating alternative version, which did not come to light until 2006, of his final top 10 hit in 1965.

It's Only Make-Believe is a Fury standard, reaching the top 20 in 1964.  This unique alternative version was discovered by John Hetherington (singer Johnny Storme).

I have taken the opportunity to release at last the privately-recorded studio demo of My Life by Tony Tait (Tony Damond, lead singer of Billy's backing group, The Gamblers).  This is a powerful performance that demands a wider hearing and I am delighted to provide it.  Tony died in 1999.

The first known copy of Billy's dynamic recording of the Jerry Lee Lewis number, Break Up, was given to me by Mrs Mavis Tait, Tony's widow.  This has been presented in streaming audio on billyfury.com since that time, and makes a deserved appearance on this CD.

The plaintive Nobody's Child is a favourite of many Fury fans.  This extraordinary stereo version, however, is unique.

Only a limited number of the CDs will be produced.

To order, please send a cheque for £9 including postage, payable to Harry Whitehouse, for each one required, to me at 48 Queen Street, Balderton, Newark, NG24 3NS, or pay by credit or debit card through Paypal.

Paypal members should log on to their accounts, choose Make A Payment, and make the payment to sales@peaksoft.co.uk.

Where's the money going? I made a payment to Tony Tait's widow in respect of the material that she supplied to me. I will be paying royalties to Billy's mother, Mrs Jean Wycherley. 

Every penny of the surplus will be donated, as usual, to the Heart Fund at Alder Hey Children's Hospital.

IS THIS ONE THAT HAS GOT AWAY?

Nothing To Lose : UK seven inch 45rpm Emidisc shellac coated lead acetate.

It comes in a plain white sleeve, which states in pencil on the reverse ‘April/May 1967'

Sellers remarks :

"I have contacted several serious Billy Fury collectors, and am told that it is an unknown/unreleased track.

I have played the acetate through, and although it has quite a lot of surface wear, but no scratches, it has really good sound quality."

THIS ITEM WAS ON EBAY YESTERDAY, BUT TODAY IT HAS VANISHED!! HOPEFULLY NOT TO A PRIVATE COLLECTION WHERE IT WILL NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN!!!

"WITHOUT YOU - Songs of BILLY FURY"

A 34 track double CD Tribute Album in aid of the Billy Fury Bronze Statue Appeal, has helped to complete the required funds needed to pay for, and erect a bronze statue of Billy Fury in Liverpool. Future profit from sales of this CD will be donated to the Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool. Alder Hey is the biggest children's hospital in Europe, and and it has a heart unit that is in constant need of funds for extra equipment, research, and simply to provide better facilities for the children and their families. Harry Whitehouse has been in touch with the operational manager of the unit, Ms Mal Prince, who wrote to him:

"Many of us still remember Billy with great affection and believe we were robbed of a true star of Liverpool."

As Harry has said, and I quote "If a few pounds of ours contribute to saving the life of a single child, I cannot think of a more fitting way to commemorate Billy."
