Thread Name: Origins: Tim Rose and the story of 'Hey Joe'
Subject: RE: Origins: Tim Rose and the story of 'Hey Joe'
Talking of Quicksilver - didn't Dino Valenti write "Hey Joe" and eventually lose all rights to it in a dodgy deal with some mafia type crooks to pay his bail and get him released from prison. The story is that he also lost to them the rights of "Get Together" That is why later songs that he wrote were attributed to Jesse Oris Farrow. If you look at early vinyl copies of this by Love and The Leaves, Dino is credited. Certainly on the UK issue of Loves first album.
