I was married to the bass player Lincoln Carr for many years and have the original album recorded at Rockfield studios and various other musical sessions if anyone is interested

I’ve got the vinyl album plus the “It’s Rock ‘n’ Roll vol 2″ album containing two of the five tracks they recorded for the Radio One show of the same name in 1977 presented by Stu Colman and Geoff Barker. I’ve put excerpts from the five tracks on you tube. Shout Sister Shout is a standout

Through a rather good sense of timing and fortune, I have access to mp3 tracks of the
Memphis Bend LP. Contact me offline at:

I keep an eye on Ebay and see one copy of the album come up for sale every month, I know as I have bought two copies (one for a friend). I have also bought through Ebay two copies of the 45 rpm “Tennessee”. Another good place to buy from is Bim Bam Records. They also sell through Ebay, and only a few days ago sold a copy of the LP in absolute MINT condition, cover and vinyl. It went for £22. So, they are available. Come to think of it, three copies of the LP sold on Ebay within one week back in June – usually go for £10 – £15. Happy hunting.

I would love to get a copy of this album to my father in-law who just lost his son in the army in Afghanistan. It would lift him up as he loved this album. I would pay anyone who can send me the mp3s.

I would gladly pay an arm and a leg to get acopy of this album on CD. As a former hairy prog rocker I would like to thank Memfis Bend for introducing me to proper rock and roll and rockabilly. Would anyone have any idea how to go about persuading UA to release the album on CD? I hope there are some ‘bonus tracks’ to go with it. RIP Micky – you’re the best!

Hi Ian

There must be tons of unreleased recordings with Micky playing stuff that he put down to entertain us ……. I know I have some poorly recorded tapes myself, but around the world there must be so much more. Maybe one day soon we shall get hear some and appreciate what he gave us and rock n roll!

As a fifteen year old in 1977 and mad about rockabilly I had this album and loved it. I had forgotten about Memphis Bend a long time ago until I read Lyndon Needs’ letter to Now Dig This earlier this year. From there I googled Micky and remembered just how good their album was/is.
Reading about Micky, I now realise I probably saw him but without realising it at the time, playing with Shakin’ Stevens at Morecambe and at Preston Guild Hall with the Jets in support.
Boy, I wish I could relive those nights. I remember praising the band, especially the guitarist after seeing the show at a club on the sea front at Morecambe in my rockabilly fanzine “Sundogs” at that time.
Lyndon said he had seen Micky play a few times in a pub during the last couple of years of his life. Had I been aware at the time, I certainly would have ventured down to South Wales without a doubt. What a shame we’ve lost him to emphysema, and what an awful way to go. Have bought the Carl Perkins dvd and the Bill Wyman dvd and cd. God bless you Micky.
