With the recent sad passing of the great Col Joye, I have returned to The Col Joye Story for Part 4, covering the years 1964-65. I think it quite possible that many listeners may not be familiar with some of the 45 tracks that will be played in this episode. Only two of the seven 45s released in the period made the national Top 100. The British Beat boom, led by The Beatles, with The Rolling Stones not far behind, changed the Music Industry forever. Col Joye only released one EP in the period 1964-65, however, he did release three LPs and one very odd 3 EP set ( a Festival cash grab that didn’t work!). On the LPs are some of Col Joye & The Joy Boys’ best Rock ‘n’ Roll, perhaps even better than their original work in the 50s. Enjoy Part 4 of The Col Joye Story.

In Episode Three of The Judy Stone Story, we cover the period 1965-69. Within this timeframe, Judy released her biggest hit, “Born A Woman”, recorded after her shift from Festival to the ATA label. We’ll hear a couple of tracks that found their way onto EPs and LPs but were never on a 45 single. Also, we’ll hear the A side of a 45 release on which a then up-and-coming Australian songwriter named Kevin Johnson wrote both sides. And, towards the end of the episode, we’ll hear a track from Judy’s EP, “Italian Style”, on which all tracks are sung in Italian! Enjoy Part 3 of The Judy Stone Story.

Episode Two of THE JUDY STONE STORY covers the years 1963-64. In a strange quirk of fate, Judy only released three 45 singles in these two years, including the big hit, “4 003 221 Tears From Now”. In the same period, five EPs were released and three LPs, including “The Best of Col and Judy”. There’s a number of lesser-known recordings, including a couple that should have found their way onto 45 singles. One of those five EPs was titled, “Once in a While”, a track that never appeared on a 45 single; very unusual! Enjoy some great Judy Stone vocal performances in this episode.
