What's new on this web page?
If you see the date changing on this page, without an announcement in this section, it is probably something like fixing minor coding problems, spelling errors, minor layout changes, new page on this site (so I changed bottom index), ... Any major changes to this page, will be announced here.
July 18, 2005. I just noticed that the ezBoard message board that I had set up for this web site had been deleted. Since restoration of the deleted conference is only available to subscribers to their service, and since the activity was relatively light, I not planning on looking for another message board. If you do think a message board is worth while, or you have a message board that you like, let me know and I may promote it here. As always you can contact me here.
September 5, 2004. I finally picked up, Spencer Davis Group: Mojo Rhythms & Midnight Blues - Vol.1: Shows '65-'68. Unfortunately, there are not many details (date/location) of the live recordings. However, it is always good to hear tracks I have never heard before.
February 21, 2002. VIP music portal is having a ticket giveaway for a Spencer Davis show March 19, 2002 at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall, UK. They also have Spencer Davis memorabilia for sale.
February 1, 2002. I just picked up a couple of Spencer Davis Group live CDs. Live Anthology 1965 - 1968 and Mojo Rhythms & Midnight Blues - Vol.2: Shows '65-'68. It looks like there may be some overlap, but until I have a chance to listen to it, I will list them on my site, with what little detail is included with the CDs.
March 10, 2001. It looks like I may have been premature in moving to a new web hosting site. I just found out that whenever Tripod.com is having hardware or software problems with their servers, they put up a message for the webmaster that their site is in violation of terms, and the web site has been deleted (instead of a message about system problems and try again later). Anyway, I believed Tripod.com when they said they deleted my account, so I will be moving, and making chromeoxide.com my new home on the web.
March 10, 2001. As long as I am moving my entire site, I decided to make a few changes to the layout of the individual pages, and the web site in general, including (but not limited to) I removed the counter, and moved the listings of mirror sites to the bottom of the page, ...
March 6, 2001. Sometime between March 1 to March 5, 2001 Tripod deleted my account/web site. The last stats Tripod gave me were 9,000+ visitors per month. Since my site is so popular, I have decided to keep it going, in spite of this major setback. But rather than trying to build up another free web site, and possibly deal with this problem again, I decided go with CommandLine.net to host the new chromeoxide.com.
October 31, 2000. The new Chrome Oxide Music Collectors Pages Message Board is provided by EZBoard.
December 5, 1999. I started creating this page. :-)
INTRO:
[Top (page index)] [Up] [Down] [Bottom (site index)]
Spencer Davis Group started in August 1963 when Spencer Davis and Steve Winwood decided to try working together in a band. Starting out as an r & b, they eventually did start writing their own material. But once Steve Winwood became comfortable with writing his own music, he wanted to move beyond the confines of an r & b band. So in April 2, 1967, he left the group to start Traffic, and eventually go into Blind Faith, and solo career, session work, ....
For me, once Steve Winwood (singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist) left the band, it just wasn't the same. So even though Spencer Davis continued on, their style and sound changed enough that I stopped following the band.
Although some of their early work didn't originally get released on a long play format, the CD release Eight Gigs A Week - The Steve Winwood Years, corrects that by compiling just about everything they ever recorded into a very nice 2 CD set, complete with extensive liner notes about the band and their recording sessions.
Comments and corrections would be appreciated.
And of course, any audio-video-print additions to my collection would be appreciated.
I am also interested in getting wider exposure for this site. So links from your site to mine would be appreciated. And if you know of any sites that allow/encourage submission, I would also appreciate knowing about them as well.
Do you have any articles, books, albums, tapes, CDs, ... on this band that you would like reviewed and / or integrated into this page?
Do you have any other band that you would like to see a page for on this site?

MusicStack looks like a good source of used music items
(LPs, CDs, posters, ...).
As always, let me know what you think.
Back in October 1999 I put up links to CD-Now so that visitors could easily link to the related band pages and instantly see which items were still in print/available for purchase. CD-Now no longer has that option. For the moment I am putting in Amazon.com search boxes. Amazon.com doesn't easily allow for links to individual band pages in the same way that CD-Now used to. So, instead of me being able to create direct links, I have put up the Amazon.com search box instead. So you can still go to a page with the various bands products, buy you now need to go through a search box.
As always, let me know what you think.
