George Bean?

Hi, I found a track Chicken Or Bored by Bean & Loopy on the net. Is it an unissued George Bean?

Re: George Bean?

I'd say yes as I see the composing credits include Catchpole and they wrote together a few George Bean songs. Was the same (Tony) Catchpole future Alan Bown?

here they say yes:

Re: George Bean?

Hi Gian, thanks for your response to my question about George Bean. Where did you find the composing credits for Chicken Or Bored? According to the Encyclopedia of British and Irish 60´s Rock and Pop, Another Taste Of Forbidden Fruit, Tony Catchpole was in George Bean´s group and in Alan Bown Set 1966-69.

Not exactly that but the other two songs they recorded:

were Bean and Loopy related to George Bean? yes
Unissued? yes

or maybe I didn't get exactly your question?

Re: George Bean?

Is Bean & Loopy's Lot the same Bean & Loopy you write about
They had a single out called Haywire in 1966 if you check Discogs they have a YT link for it

Re: George Bean?

Yes I have all official recordings by George Bean/Looty´s Lot but I have never seen the track Chicken Or Bored in any discography or compilation. It´s a quite good tune not far away from The Easybeats. Thanks for your kind reply.

Re: George Bean?

Found an mp3 too, good track yes, maybe an acetate? By the way there is a good website of George Bean's next band, Trifle, with lots of photos and even BBC recordings:

Re: George Bean?

Where is this track located. I can't find anything on the internet with any combination of words that shows anything besides this post. Put it out there.

Re: George Bean?

Hi, you can find it on Soulseek. Mod Meeting vol 7

Re: George Bean?

Wonderful track! I've never seen this come up for sale and I'm pretty on top of my George Bean. I have more than a few rarities besides his official output. I've waited for a few tracks like this to leak for years. I wonder how long this release has been available? Thanks!
