THE JOHN CARTER STORY MY WORLD FELL DOWN

A 4 CD overview of the work of John Carter . A hugely talented back room figure in Tin Pan Alley in the 1960s. The box covers his writing and performing and production for Carter Lewis And The Southerners, The Ivy League, The Flowerpot Men, Stanford Bridge, The First Class and many many more. Loads of tracks demos, rarely seen picture sleeves and an in depth essay of the history.

What a lovely surprise to see your enthusiastic review of "My World Fell Down" compilation! Big thanks for your kind words and amazing support. Best wishes, John Carter 😉

Oh Thanks John it was an even bigger surprise to hear from you. Iv'e thoroughly enjoyed it. I love these box sets material that might not have seen light of day.I am fortunate to have lived through the 60s as a kid and exposure to some of the finest music composed and recorded and you are up there with some of the biggest. I recall years ago Westside records sending me a Carter Lewis CD. I am originally a Brummie and Roy Wood is my uncle only 7 years between us .So I came into contact with music from Brum Beat area even as a kid.

I always loved the harmonies of The Ivy League. Remember The Rockin Aces?.

@@jimwood1968CDcollectorCAVE Great! Many thanks! Yes, I do remember The Rockin Aces. Good times!

[@jimwood1968CDcollectorCAVE]

I used to live near the one members parents house on Showell Green Lane and the van was always outside. Do you recall The Tow Rope on Broad st opposite Clays instrument shop?

@@jimwood1968CDcollectorCAVE Only vaguely! It was a long time ago. My brain doesn't go that far anymore. Glad you are Brummie. Best, John 😉
