Description
Sid Selvidge- Waiting For A Train LP (Peabody Record Co. PS-105) ORIGINAL 1982 LP - VERY LIMITED
Sid Selvidge- Portrait LP (Enterprise Records ENS 1003)
Sid Selvidge's Waiting For A Train was a very very limited edition LP with original cover photo by reknown photographer William Eggleston.Sid Selvidge's (co-leader of Mudboy & The Neutrons along with Jim Dickinson) first album on Enterprise Records from 1969 was a pretty good Memphis folk record but the real find here is his 1982 Peabody LP "Waiting For A Train". Selvidge and Jim Dickinson's Mudboy And The Neutrons were a major delta blue rock legend with Bob Dylan amongst their fans.
The Jim Dickinson produced 1982 LP "Waiting For A Train" features a brace of Memphis blue and underground music scene musicians and a striking cover photo from famed and very collectible photographer William Eggleston (a gritty photo artist best know in music circles for his cover work on Big Star's Radio City).
Alex Chilton's "Like Flies On Sherbert" was issued on Peabody in 1979 with the catalog number Peabody 104 and it took 3 years for the tiny label to release their next record. Like Chilton's first solo LP, I am certain this was pressed in a tiny number (there were 300 "Like Flies..." made) and I understand this has been much sought after by both fans of Selvidge and the memphis blue rock underground and collectors of Eggleston's work.

Archer Records says of Sid Selvidge:
Sid Selvidge has had a musical career as expansive as the Mississippi Delta -- and as true to his roots as the bluesmen of yesteryear. Leaving his home in Greenville, MS, Sid moved to Memphis at an early age, studying and performing with legendary bluesmen like Furry Lewis and Mississippi Fred McDowell at the famous Bitter Lemon Club. With a knack for the southern tradition of storytelling, Selvidge swiftly adapted their picking styles and incorporated them into his distinctive fusion of country, blues, folk, and rock.
Soon his music began to catch the attention of those outside the Bluff City, who took notice of his ability to integrate classic methods into unique singing and playing approaches. "Sid Selvidge, who comes from Mississippi by way of Memphis, is neither country nor rock," said John Rockwell of the New York Times. "He's pretty much everything musically in the whole Southeast." While still in School at Washington University, Sid recorded his debut LP, Portrait, which was released by Enterprise Records, a subsidiary of Stax. Thereafter, he traveled to New York and captivated audiences from Carnegie Hall to Lincoln Center, garnering rave reviews. "His voice is an astonishing instrument," raved New York Times writer Robert Palmer. "Cool and liquid with a range of several octaves." By this time, major labels were making offers, resulting in a deal whereby Elektra released his Twice Told Tales as a part of the Nonesuch Records "American Explorer Series."
When not working on solo records, Selvidge was a member of Mudboy and the Neutrons with cofounder and close friends Jim Dickinson, Lee Baker, and Jimmy Crosthwait. Selvidge and Dickinson would collaborate on numerous projects throughout their enduring friendship, but the 3 Mudboy albums were among the most original of that partnership. Bob Dylan even referred to them as "the great band that nobody can find."
While living in Memphis during this time, Selvidge also taught anthropology at Rhodes College and helped found Beale Street Caravan, an internationally syndicated blues radio program heard on over 500 stations around the world. Even with his performance and recording career, Selvidge still remains heavily involved at BSC, serving as executive producer since its founding.
In 2002 Selvidge signed to Memphis label Archer Records, which released A Little Bit of Rain the following year. Recording was a family affair, with Selvidge's son, Steve (The Hold Steady) joining on guitar, along with Jim Dickinson on keys and his son, Luther (North Mississippi Allstars, Black Crowes) on slide guitar, and old pal Jimmy Crosthwait on washboard. Upon hearing the record, David Fricke of Rolling Stone couldn't hold back his praise, declaring emphatically "Sid Selvidge is a precious treasure."
Not long after Rain, Selvidge and Dickinson teamed up for the international "It Came From Memphis" tour. After selling out venues like London's Barbican Theatre, Selvidge returned home to capture a similar performance. Thereafter, Archer released the CD/DVD Live From Otherlands, an intimate concert at the local favorite coffeehouse. Critics praised Selvidge's incomparable vocal qualities and gift for furthering the legacy from which his songs are born. "With a voice as smooth as Kentucky corn liquor and a guitar tone as smoky as Tennessee barbecue, Selvidge keeps the Memphis music tradition alive," announced Guitar Player.
