Thanks to Bill & Barbie & everyone else enjoying these tunes (but too afraid to say?) All the best for the year ahead...

WANTED: Trudy's next 2 LPs on Prestige!

"A Bucketful Of Soul" with Mr. C
&
"The Excitement of Trudy Pitts (Recorded Live! at Club Baron)"

both from 1968.

Any links welcome.

Hi,

I just acquired copies of both her elusive 1968 Prestige sides - "Bucketful" and "Excitement" from some my contacts via P2P. These rips are not mine - average bit mp3 vinyl rips - but they do give you the flavor of Trudy's nice organ groove.
