anyone know what happened to Gordon Smith the producer-promoter, booker, etc.. who also happened to have labels like Star and Lucky?
He went with the band to the US when they recorded with Bobby Bare in 1967, but seems to have split from the group by 1968.
He seems to have been a defacto manager of the Hillsadiers at the time, and is mentioned with the Hillsiders in press from the period (Billboard 19 Aug 1967, and 2 Nov 1968).
Love this page, please post some more when you can
cheers

I knew Gordon very well. I don't know what happened to him. What I would suggest is your post something on the british Country Music website to see if anyone out there might know:

There appears to be NO CDs for this group---Why ? I'm hoping to find a best of'-- that includes 'Sunday Morning Coming Down'--which is by far the best rendition in my humble opinion. Cheers--Phil Croft.
They only did 1 cd - The Hillsiders – 15/25, in 1989. See above. Unfortunately, Sunday Morning Come Down is not on it. Ill see if I can find a copy and add it to the player on the main page.
I really miss Joe's country progamme on City, I used to phone in regularly for his competitions, he was such a nice guy. The pride of my collection is the Hillsiders with the great Bobby Bare. Still listen to Kenny on Radio Merseyside, not as good as his live programmes used to be though.
Does anyone know of any way I could find a cd of 'by request' its my Grandmas favourite album and I would love to surprise her at Christmas with it. Thank you in advance.
