Guest Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 The Gladys Knight track is beautiful- I bought an tape at the 100club of unreleased Motown and it was on there. Recording was shite though and the track stopped 3/4 way thru.... Any chance of putting a soundfile of it up here??

Dennisoul Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 (edited) . link Gladys Knight ,Great tune.Keb used to play this when he was spinnin the northern discs. Edited July 18, 2005 by ANDY D
timthemod Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 All the recording of this top Gladys Knight track are poor scratchy quality, even the one on the spectrum CD. They must have lost/misplaced the mastertape. The spectrum tracks must be a vinyl acetate dub. TTM
Tony Smith Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Butch has the original acetate which is far from poor and scratchy!
vnicepce Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 ...but does it really matter?; nice to see so much support for a track that I think, is a fine illustration of the very essence of this scene.....b.... brilliant track.. .....have you all listened to the 'Vandellas, Four Tops and 'Motown sings Motown' Unissued tracks on Hip-o-Select?????
Tony Turner Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Gladys Knight is available in tip top condition on the double edition reissue of the 2 debutante motown CDs. TT
