Just bought this on the strength of the artwork alone and have absolutely fallen in love with it.

Would love to get my hands on more stuff like this!

Hi guys! I’m Boris from Moscow,Russia. I can confirm that this record (Non-Stop Instrumental Hits) was just huge in Europe back in 70s! I had a tapeversion of it and it had more hits on side B! There was Barry Whites “You’re the first, he last,my everything”(instrumental), “Never can say goodbye” (instrumental), “Fire”(played on Hammond organ) and few more cool songs.Any idea on who might it be? I\ve been looking for that record for years! Does anybody got a CD copy of it for sale? Thanks.

That I’ve seen as well. Here’s the cover, along with a couple of single sleeves:

this record is also known as “Bimbo Jet” and was issued in Cananda, where it is fairly common

Oh, by the way, building up a Jim Ed Brown collection is gonna take me a long time. But still, i if I keep an eye on what's selling on Ebay, then eventually I'll get all the LPs.

Maybe I'll download via Torrent once I actually have the LP.

I agree. Buffalo’s Band seems much more deserving of their own weekly show than, say, the Hudson Brothers ever were.

Hey, Can't believe someone else knows about this album! Don't remember where or why I bought my copy, but I'm sure that artwork had plenty to do with it.

Always loved Slag Solution - killer Chipmunk vox.

Can any Europeans confirm that this stuff was actually commercial/popular? If so, you were lucky - your mid '70s were a lot better then ours...

That’s from Jim’s 1970 album, “Goin’ Up The Country.”

You can find a great Jim Ed Brown discography at the equally great LP Disocography site:

If JEB ever writes you back, send him my way. I want him to pose for a shrine I’m building in my living room.
