Hi Pete,

We were talking about this track at the 'Wash' yesterday - As far as I can tell it was only out on 2 LPs, no 45 of it that I know of.

This one being the MFP 'live' LP - as you know not really live, just with an audience clapping on the intro:

There also was another album in the US on Bell, with (I think) the same tracks, but it wasn't called 'Live' but released around the same time circa1973 to cash in on the popularity the group was having at that time on Philly Int / CBS

I'm almost certain this album has the same live effects though.

If this Youtube clip is correct, it's taken from the Bell LP

Of course there's at least a couple more versions of this song also worth a listen - Timothy Wilson on Buddah and Stage IV on Millie

Yes, originally released on the Bell LP. Released in 1969, produced by George Kerr.

the o'jays - "back on top" u.s. bell not sure of the year as it doesn't say on the label or sleeve, ive played "just another girl" a few times at york, have to play it early doors though, couldn't possibly cue it up to miss those crowd noises after a few beers

Hi Trev ,have to disagree or should i say ,i'll agree to disagree

O'jays is my fave version and i had the same dilemna myself regarding the intro .....always wished there was another cut that didnt have the crowd roar ,but by the nature of the scene ...we have to accept these things eh:thumbsup:

Here's Timothy Wilson's take on it:

Timothy Wilson - Just another guy (on a string) -

No, you're probably right - you just can't beat the lovely sound of Eddie Levert & the guys

The "Sundazed" CD from 2002 loses the "crowd fx" on "Just Another Guy"........well and all the other Bell LP tracks really.....5 unreleased tracks too
