Anoraks Corner Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Luther Ingram - Hurdy Gurdy Harrison Brothers - Bobalou Douglas Gibson - Tangerine Three versions all subtly different from each other, and all first rate hard-driving Northern Soul! Which was played out first? Are there any other versions out there? Luther's is the rarest, but which is your favourite? By the way, the flip of Luther 'I Need You Now' is damn good northern too...never heard that played out or spoken about!
Harry Crosby Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Me personally, i prefer the Douglas Gibson version
grant Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Me personally, i prefer the Douglas Gibson version yep same here mate, but only coz its the only one i have seriously i like the L Ingram one too, can't recall the other version.
Soulfuljules Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Personally prefer Luther Ingram's, probably because it's the one I have no seriously though, slightly grittier imho than the other 2, which are very good soul tunes on their own.

Pete S Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Harrison Brothers best and also first played; Douglas Gibson uses the same backing track as Harrison Brothers. Luther Ingram rarest, also a great version but not quite as powerful as the other two.

Guest Johnny Mack Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 All three of these are essential northern soul : Harrison Bros definitely my favorite First heard Harrison Bros/Music Minus Two at Cleethorpes circa 75/76 Cliff Camfield gave "I need you now" a few spins at Burnley in recent times - it's a nice slice of northern soul !

Citizen P Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 All versions have their merits Harrison Bros was the first I heard,,,,, real WTF is this ?? but Douglas Gibson, just shades it for me. ATB Tony
Anoraks Corner Posted December 1, 2010 Author Posted December 1, 2010 All versions have their merits Agree I've always gone for the Douglas Gibson cut, but am now having a re-think about the Luther Ingram as it is so more 'Detroity' sounding and gutsy. Never been a big fan of the vocal performance of the Harrisons, although the backing track means I can't ignore it! Glad to read that Cliff has been spinning the Luther flipside...I'd honestly not heard it before finding a copy of the disc at the weekend
Mrtag Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 The Other Half Prefers Luther Ingram Best !! Looks like trouble At Mill
