Members Funkwire Posted November 2, 2012 Members Share Posted November 2, 2012 I remember seeing a picture of him with Pete Townshend in CREEM magazine back in the 70s. Sullivan was at a soundcheck for a Who concert and was playing one of Pete's LPs through his stage rig. I had no idea who he was, but the way Pete was looking at him, you knew it was somebody he respected. RIP, Big Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pilon Posted November 2, 2012 Members Share Posted November 2, 2012 I've read that much of the 1960's studio work that Jimmy Page has taken credit for was actually Big Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BeanoBoy Posted November 2, 2012 Members Share Posted November 2, 2012 Big Jim was virtually unknown here in the US but if you were up on the English guitarists, they made it clear Big Jim was a Big Deal. RIP Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Telegraph says "mistakenly credited to the wrong Jim".RIP Big Jim - I remember the PJ Proby song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tim gueguen Posted November 3, 2012 Members Share Posted November 3, 2012 Sullivan appeared as a Moonbase Alpha crewman, playing a Coral electric sitar, in the opening of the first season Space: 1999 episode "The Troubled Spirit." The piece was used elsewhere in the episode. Some later bits of this episode may be NSFW due to the physical appearance of one character.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RIqSSJVAcY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
