Lets be honest here, this album probably isn't that hard to find, however it isn't an album that you will probably go out and buy just because you want to hear the Peter Green guitar on it unless you are a mad completist. Even I didn't bother to buy a copy of the album, I just found it on the net and have passed on the link to you.
Before anyone writes to me and says that this album is missing track two, it isn't. For some weird reason track two has been added on to track one (track two is only about 34 seconds in length). That is the way I found the album and sadly that is the way you are going to download it too!
The first half of this album (tracks 1 - 8) are known as the Blue Memphis Suite (which was side one of the vinyl LP).
Now if you read the review on the "further info" link I give you below, you could be forgiven for thinking that this album isn't actually worth listening to. While there are certainly better albums out there, it really is quite listenable, and Peter Green's guitar is fantastic as always.
There are two bonus tracks that exist for this album (Mother Earth & I've Got Soul) that John was kind enough to pass along after I posted this link. So, I've added in a link to the bonus tracks if you want them!
Oh and on a final note, sorry Wil I know I did say I would add this on the blog a week ago!

Thank you for this! As expected, Peter is playing his heart out here! I already had the suite track, but not the entire album. Thanks again!
P.S. You haven't found by any chance Jeremy's "In Concer", have you?
"In Concert", I meant to say...
If you mean Jeremy Spencer - In Concert '98 then it is already on this blog. Just search under Jeremy Spencer!
Yes, I know about that one, and it was a great post! Although late, thank you for this! But, I am not talking about that...this one came out last year both in dvd and cd, and for some reason I can't order it/them through my usual record shop. The cover is in black and white showing Jeremy playing his guitar...Thanks anyway.
Sorry for the delay in replying to that first comment. I actually clicked "reply" when it came to my email, which sadly disappeared into cyberspace as you can't reply to comments via email! Some people post comments and some send me email and I got confused this time!
Ok you mean the Jeremy Spencer in Session, which is an album I don't have. However should I get some $$$ for my birthday next week I will be ordering it.
I won't be uploading it on here, simply because it isn't hard to find. So send me your email address directly to macmembermusic@gmail.com and you never know what might happen if I get a copy!
Thanks for posting this - I really enjoyed hearing it. Chatman was towards the end of his career when he recorded this but like many of the Chicago jazz & blues atists who spent time in Europe, he got some talented guys to play on the album. Peter Green sounds superb - I always prefer his work when he hasn't laboured through rehersals or weeks in the studio - here he has just picked up the guitar and played!
