Many of this can maybe be found on YouTube and so on.

The recording of Dylan doing "Let`s begin" who is out on boots.

Can be recordings of both R.E.M. and Keith Urban doing "Wichita lineman" and "Galveston".

Also can be RARE vinyl album 1/2 side "Songwriters for the stars" - live in studio with Jimmy in Norweg in 1982.
Produced by my "music friend" Eirik "the Norwegian" Wangberg.

Can be a two record demo white label set with J.W. demos and a lot of the normal "hits" from of his around 1970 titel "The Jimmy Webb Songbook" - a songbook of same name is out.
This also for auction from time to time on ebay.

Also can be J.W.s first tune on 45 (what we know) with Millie Rodgers, "Take Marion For Example", 1964.



I have talk with many collectors over the years, who collect other artist.
Many want "it all", but this boots.
BUT the artist GOT NO MONEY, we know it.

Can tell you a story about a old music-friend (43 years back) of mine in Denmark call Tommy P.
Some few years ago I came over a Spain cd press of my friend recordings of his group T.P. Smoke call "Smoke" 1970.
Vinyl albums is out Germany, Israel and Mexico.
Been told back then in 1970 20.000 copy`s of this was sold in Germany.

Tommy was NOT aware of this cd from Spain was put out, and it was top made, inlay and sound looks like as it comes from a master tape.
But Tommy was told the master tape was stolen many years ago.

He have got no copyright, songwriter money so far, and I can tell you Robert, he have same cd "homemade" made in East Europa, in bad quality.

This "Smoke" cd recordings is maybe a "little" cult out there - they almost NOT press cd if there not are a market.

This is happen before with him in Germany with his group Matadors.
Group Matadors have some few hits in Germany on a hit list back there and was playing in some of the places Beatles did some years before in Hamburg, Germany.

He was never told about this, and afraid he not getting any money also for this.

Many of this songs from album with T.P. Smoke (all T.P. wrote) and on Matadors 2 set cd, he wrote a lot.
Tommy start up recording in 1964.
T.P. Smoke was as sound as Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

Tommy know before Keith Emerson and also Ray Davis.

Tommy was, is a great songwriter and a TOP organ player many time on some of the tunes he is in world class on his Hammond organ with Leslie speakers.
I have several copy of his "Smoke" album from Mexico, who maybe will be sold for 100-300 US dollars on a auction on ebay if I did.

For FUN I can ad that TOMMY also recorded J.W. tune "MacArthur Park" in 1980 in danish with titel around in english "I will love no more".





sincerely
