BIOGRAPHY:
Fantastic guitarist, he's one of the electric guitar pioneers. He played live with many bands, but also appearing in hundreds of recordings, as he was one of the most prolific guitarists, especially in the 60s. He belonged to a sort of players (such as Joe Moretti, Jimmy Page, Vic Flick, Alan Parker, Paul Keogh, and others) that were hired to play in any single by the most famous singers in England.
I can´t even try to make a complete discography of him, but I want to publish this page yet as a tribute to him, so please notice that there are SO many omissions, but I´ll try to include more and more album credits little by little.
Big Jim Sullivan was born James George Tomkins in Uxbridge, Middlesex, England on February 14th, 1941.

US
In 1991, the Big Jim Sullivan Band changes its name to Us with the arrival of Herbie Flowers:
They recorded an album that was never released. There's also a great solo album credited to Derek, called Red hot Hammond, that has been officially endorsed by Hammond. The album features this band plus some guests.
Finally, in 1994, Herbie Flowers leaves, and they go separate ways, mostly playing sessions. But, they played on and off for many years (for example, they were still playing together in 2006).

- Comments: This was a project made by Ritchie Blackmore. He recorded it with some friend and old bandmates just for fun. This is the (amazing) lineup: Earl Jordan (vocals) (aka Jordan) Ritchie Blackmore (guitar) (aka Boots) Albert Lee (guitar) (aka Pinta) Big Jim Sullivan (guitar) (aka Boss) Rod Alexander (guitar) (aka Vicar) Chas Hodges (bass) (aka Sleepy) Tony Ashton (keyboards) (aka Bevy) Matthew Fisher (keyboards) (aka Sorry) Ian Paice (drums) (aka Speedy) A guitar feast! Originally, the album included 8 tracks. Produced by Derek Lawrence, due to contractual problems, the musicians credits were written with nicknames (as you can read above). But it was later remastered and reissued on CD in 1991 under the name The green bullfrog sessions, now with 3 unreleased tracks.
