'WELLS'



One of those cases where a label didn't actually have a name as such and for the sake of identification I've had to give it one.  The catalogue number of a one-off single by Mick Doo Wop & Jimmy Rhythms coupling 'Wells Hotel' and 'It's Only A Matter Of Time', WE-1, reflected the 'A' side title and suggested that 'Wells' was as good a name as any, so I've gone with it.  Guitarist Mick Lee Green has kindly confirmed that the record came out in 1979; 'Jimmy Rhythms' was Jimmy Litherland of Colisseum.  The 'A' side is more or less a musical recommendation for the Wells Hotel, and it mentions several of the staff by name; the 'B' is laid-lack, bluesy and vaguely reminiscent Of J.J. Cale.  The style of the matrix number on the run-off suggests that pressing was by Orlake.  You can listen to some of Mick's music on his website.
