pikeys dog Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Although, if you do manage to get the Spanky Wilson Lp there is a cracking track called 'You' on it... careful though as rthere are loads of lookalike reissues of the album flying about
Guest Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 (edited) I blame you both... I was definately the most sober of the three, and I placed it in his hands... Did you try lost property? Get out of town, i blame you two wild cats......i'm the innocent party, a few quid out of pocket and some refugee has a great vinyl 45'...that he/she is trying to play on their IPOD......................

Guest dodger Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 (edited) Don't know the one you're on about but her 'Speciality Of The House' does it for me every time. Choon. Edited September 27, 2005 by dodger
Guest Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 I have the Sharon Cash LP on Mothers and Snarf Company and have seen many times the "YOU" version by Spanky Wilson, but i never thought ""Sunshine" was ever released as a 45'... guess thats what makes this scene so exciting, you never know everything.....

Davie I have the Sharon Cash LP on Mothers and Snarf Company and have seen many times the "YOU" version by Spanky Wilson, but i never thought ""Sunshine" was ever released as a 45'... guess thats what makes this scene so exciting, you never know everything..... i pretty sure it was brett ..... i've spent enough time looking for it lol Davie
Guest Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Hell, lets talk about what a brilliant vocal performance this is, i know Joe mentioned Ella's version ( it indeed is superlative), but in all seriousness the Spanky Wilson "cut" is simply earth moving and a "Tour De Force" in vocal movement, it simply transcends what pure Soul singers are about.....Emotion, Feeling and Conviction........the building blocks of life......... Spanky you are all right by me.....
Guest dodger Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Any chance of a snippet of it from anyone/anywhere? I'm interested to hear it.
Guest Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Roger thats why i want the bloody thing.....i haven't got it....
Guest Baz Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Any chance of a snippet of it from anyone/anywhere? I'm interested to hear it. I've got it on a Hed Kandi CD went to look for it and rip it onto here but the CD was missing!!!!!

Djr Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Out of interest there's a copy of "You", another little masterpiece IMHO, on ebay now! Maybe some copies turned up in NY??? I just bought a copy off another NY record seller last week.....
Guest Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 thats a good price .... i was quoted about £125 but got mine from the owner of the local record exchange for a fiver . Davie , Would that've been Groucho's? I'm an ex-resident of Dundee myself picked up many a record in Grouchos & Rockpile too. Derek Davie
Mattbolton Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 That's interesting that, had the LP for ages, Sunshine is a massive track down the club. By far and away the best on the album. I've NEVER seen the 45, and that's including all mi Mod days, when I'm certain all them guys would have picked it up. Love to see the scan. But then we never thought Eddie Jefferson's Psychedelic Sally was on 7 till a friend showed it me. When I was in the Orange County record fair, I picked up Ella's version on a BASF (yes the same tape company) demo for $12. Mark Ellis has it now. In a stuuuuuupid swap. Must be hard that If you're into that Brett, I'd check out a little Swedish lady from '70 simply called Doris. Her 'Did You Give The World Some Love Today?' LP is a funk/soul classic. Two DYNAMITE sides off there, 'Don't' and 'Beatmaker' both out-there dancefloor funk genius. But when they re-issued the CD, they put loadas of great unissued stuff on, including a version of Mama Didn't Lie that's far more beautiful than the Jan Bradley original.... On ODEON records if you're interested. She was pretty cute as well......
Guest Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Kenneth........have pity on me.....i need this in my life........ I need a life!!,and untill i find one me records are just in the way!!,but if i happen to see it i will email you Brett,but dont hold ya` breath kid!!,sure some nicer person will find you one?...... Ken
Guest Dan Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 wow...nice arras brett never heard that version before but it is brilliant can't be too many times a black soul/jazz artist has covered a song by a white British rock group. Maybe they ought todo it more often! i'd only heard it by cream and hendrix before think this is better though

Guest Dan Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Fifth dimention,do it... also bobby mcferrin apparently ken would like to hear his version
Guest Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Hi All, Just joined the site and noticed this thread so i thought i'd add a bit.. Spanky Wilson is Available on a reissue 45 on BGP it has Sunshine of your love and You on it.. The 5th Dimension is on Liberty ... BUT if you want what i think is the best version It has to be the late great Long John Baldry on the Album 'Let the heartaches begin' and on a greatest hits reissue. I might have a spare Spanky Wilson 45 if anybody is interested and also have a spare Long john Baldry greatest hits L.P. with the track on.. if anybody wants to hear the LJB version e-mail me and i'll mp3 it over to ya! northernray@btinternet.com Hope this helps NorthernRay.
Guest dundeedavie Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 yes derek it was grouchos Davie
pow wow mik Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 (edited) I'm pretty sure Spanky's Sunshine was never issued on 45 originally. I'd need for someone to say they had it to believe it. & I've seen quite a few DJs playing the bootleg LP, it looks and feels very similar to the real one. I have heard that the Long John Baldry version got a euro 45 release, anyone confirm? It's a great version IMO. THe Ella version is actually quite cheap & easy to find on BASF, Polydor or MPS 45. It got released all over. Edited September 28, 2005 by mik parry
pikeys dog Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 THe Ella version is actually quite cheap & easy to find on BASF, Polydor or MPS 45. It got released all over. What about Prestige?
