Hi

I've managed to pick a copy up of Tony Drake - Suddenly - Brunswick (Demo) But has anyone ever seen an issue of this tune? all i've ever seen is demo's

Thanks

Wally Francis

i've never seen one and all the ones in popsike are promos. i'm guessing one exists, but i never thought about it before I guess

What a record.

Seem to remember reading somewhere that the song was originally intended for Jackie Wilson, who wasn't that partial to it, the backing was recorded in Chicago and Tony's vocal added in NYC at a later date.

Altho' I may be talking bol?$ there :rolleyes:

Cheers

Chi-lites are on backing vocals. Remember reading that Jackie Wilson was there in the studio during recording so maybe he added a couple 'Oh Agh Agh's'.

Supposedly Jackie Wilson recorded Let This Be A Letter To My Baby in the same session aswell as Lost Generation recording Sly Slick & Wicked

Probably my favorite 45, and the 1st an only time I've paid £100 for a 45!

Yep, you're correct, Sean has the Australian issue - not a USA issue yes.gif

Tis true.

I have an Australian issue and so does Gareth Donovon.

Was told there's only 5 known copies but I don't know who has the other three (certainly not Tony Drake as he tried to buy mine).

I reckon you'd kill for a copy, John... 'ooh ahh' or no 'ooh ahh' biggrin.gif

:D

I'm sure we have this thread once every 6 months :lol:

Sean & Gareth unfortunately only have the 'common' Aussie copy :D

I do however have the lovely looking 'proper' USA issue copy of which I do know Mr Hinsley certainly has one too :lol:

Cheers
