Something New To Do - Female Version

[grant]

ANYONE KNOW ANY INFO ON THIS - HEARD IT THE OTHER DAY

[Pete S]

It's a Neil Rushton or Ian Levine production I think - I apologise to both of those people if I'm wrong. Pat Lewis or someone like that.

Pat Lewis - definitely a recently made track but not sure who produced it. You can hear that in the backing, but better than a lot of these things IMO. I bought a 'test press' copy off eBay (just white label with printed titles) for not much over a fiver a couple of years ago but have sold it on now as didn't like it that much! Vocal is good but just doesn't compare to Bobby Sheen for me.

I love Pat Lewis but jeez - you can't beat the rawness and emotion in Bobby Sheens's version, two things I think the female version definately lack.

Thanks for posting it up though, Rach - never heard the PL before

I'm sure thats a Levine production- She worked with him on his "motorcity" project '89-93.

Apart from the recently made Pat Lewis version, there is another version with exactly the same backing track. I heard George Hunt (from Carlisle) play it at The Winter Gardens in Blackpool, but he wouldn't tell me anything about it (on fear of death)

My guess is that he got it from a tape, as he had had it put onto vinyl

Far far better than the re made version and on par with Bobby Sheen.

Come on George spill the beans!

Sorry that should read "with exactly the same backing track as Bobby Sheen"

ive also heard george play this , he was saying it was tobi lark , my guess is its

bobby sheen with the vocals pitched up

[Haydn]

A 20% pitch lowering produces this sound, it sounds too close to Bobby Sheene for my liking. Have a listen.....

A simple program like wave pad can alter vocals and the backing tracks can be tweaked with simple software to produce a neat different up to date sound.

There seems to be a lot of this going on nowadays since it is harder to "cover up" tunes.

The Pat Lewis doesn't have exactly the same backing as Bobby Sheen though, at least not to my ears Sounds like it's been re-recorded, it's more 'synthy'.

[Ged Parker]

The one George Hunt played when he DJ'd for us at the Winter Gardens had a slightly diiferent wording if I remember rightly? He wasn't saying who it was though. He also played me some suberb unreleased stuff at his house but this stuff was so 'hot' he didn't dare have it cut to vinyl.

He certainly has a 'source'

[Guest]

Pat Lewis is an Ian levine track.

[Dysonsoul]

About a few months before george played the said track at blackpool i got 2 c/d's full of these tracks all strangely enough big oldies including female version of " not a chance in amillion " etc.. mmmm where the original artist was male these were female and vice verca... very cleverly done on a p.c within the last few years i'd say - but jesus christ they're a absolute crock of shite !

times are real bad if d/j's are playing this kind of stuff .....

[Guest Dan]

bloody hell

oldies vs newies

60s vs modern

vinyl vs cd

bring on the normal vs transvestite-soul debate

Yep, we're done for if this is the future. Still plenty of brilliant records out there without having to make your own records up. I thought the plastic productions from Acton were out of business and off the scene but clearly thats wrong and there is a receptive audience for 4 Vandals type fakery and worse.
