There are a number of albums by Alexis Korner that feature Andy Fraser, and indeed Paul Rodgers. They include 'Bootleg Him' from 1972, 'Alexis Korner And...' from 1986, and 'On The Move' from 1996. These are compilations, and feature songs recorded at Olympic Studios in London between September 23rd, and October 1st, 1969. Certainly, we can be pretty sure Andy was in the studio on September 24th, as he's listed on the session for 'Louisiana Blues', and then on October 1st for 'Rosie'. Both feature on Castle Communication's 'On The Move' CD (CCSCD 809). I think this may be the only place you can actually find 'Louisiana Blues', but originally the majority of these Olympic studios sessions can be found on an LP that only came out in Europe (German and Netherlands) in 1970. It was eventually released as a UK CD in 2006 (Castle Communications – CMRCD1417).
Anyway, on that album, called Alexis Korner - 'Both Sides', as released on Philips in the Netherlands, and Metronome in Germany, there are six tracks that feature Andy, and allegedly three that feature Paul Rodgers* as well, though I can't really hear PR at all. It's pretty obviously Andy tho', as only he plays like that!
The album is okay. I'm not a huge Alexis fan, musically. I find some of his stuff a bit 'grating' personally. Songs with Andy appear to be 'Mighty-Mighty Spade and Whitey*', 'Funky', 'To Whom It May Concern', 'I See It*', 'You Don't Miss Your Water' and..... 'Wild Injun Woman*' (sic). Yes, it's THAT 'Wild Indian Woman', with a new spelling, as featured on 'Tons Of Sobs', but with an Alexis arrangement!
Anyway, if you want to check out the complete album, there's a YouTube link below the Fraser/Rodgers song, which is here, and most likely what you are really interested in hearing!
I've a little more Alexis stuff, relating to Koss and Fraser, to be posted, once I've sorted it out!
