Millie – Mayfair, by Pat Thomas

millietimewilltellOnly took me about 30 years to find this album by Millie – the very first known Nick Drake cover version – a jaunty rocksteady / ska version of the song “Mayfair” was recorded before Nick’s own version that appears on Nick’s debut album, Five Leaves Left. Must be heard to be believed.

Pat Thomas is the author of Listen, Whitey! The Sights and Sounds of Black Power 1965-1975.
