Russ Vickers Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Which is the BEST/PREFERRED version, with the girls on backing or without ? Also how many label variants are there of each version & which are the hardest to find ?. Best Russ
Guest julesp1905 Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 I prefer the version without the backing singers
Mal C Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 is it the Golden Triangle 45 / Lp one that's better, more sparse, No backing, the Sound of Soul 45, with girlie backing is a different recording all together imo, i mean the backing really changes the overall track. mal.C
Guest Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 I had the golden tri a few years back, without the girls, much better version IMHO.
Kevinkent Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 With girls for me Same for me. The girlie backing just gives it that extra dimension. - Kev
Guest in town Mikey Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 I've got the Golden Triangle version. But probably prefer the girly backing one.
Premium Stuff Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Hi Russ I prefer the sparse version I have the Golden Triangle release and also the Sound of Soul one on a demo with the girlie backing Is the Sound of Soul version without the backing vocals exactly the same at the Golden Triangle version? Fantastic Northern whichever version!! Cheers Richard

Fantastic Northern whichever version!! Cheers Richard I'm not sure mate as I have never knowingly heard the GT version. I thought the Golden Triangle version was an early 7ts re issue ?. Do the two SOS versions, girly & non girly exist in both local & Cameo Parkway distributed releases ?. Which SOS release is the hardest - anyone know ?. You see these on ebay every month, yet they still go for reasonable money - weird. Out of interest when Butch reactivated this some years ago which version was he playing, anyone confirm, I think it was the girly one, but memories shot to bits.

Premium Stuff Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Happy to do you a soundfile mate if you want to hear the GT version Just PM your email address or I can post on the thread here over the weekend if you prefer Cheers Richard
Russ Vickers Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 I think I'm getting mixed up with Little Tommy on SOS with the ebay thingy BTW....a sound file would be great Richard if you could post one up pse, thx. Russ

Russ No worries mate but just realised can't post on here due to no Refosoul at moment Will PM ya Cheers Richard
Russ Vickers Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) There are two different numbers for this.......SS - 217671 (No girls) 2.28 mins long, plain label design & few credits or print on label & SS - 5002 A (With & without girls & at least two label variations), plus the weird thing is on this label design it has 2.17 as the play time...........???. Anyone have the full story pse. Best Russ Edited September 9, 2011 by Russ Vickers

Best Russ I thought the SOS Cameo Parkway distributed and girlie backing the rarest? Golden Triangle the commonest of the three.

Chalky Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 oh and I prefer it without the girlie backing, spoils it altogether for me.
Russ Vickers Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 I thought the SOS Cameo Parkway distributed the rarest, Golden Triangle the commonest of the three. Not all were distributed by CP Chalky, there was a local issue too & several different vaiations of credits etc on the label & two different play times & numbers ??? Russ
Chalky Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Not all were distributed by CP Chalky, there was a local issue too & several different vaiations of credits etc on the label & two different play times & numbers ??? Russ SOS with girl backing, Cameo Parkway dist. SOS no girlie backing. local issue. Golden Triangle. Anymore? There are two or three other topics on this somewhere but search not playing the game here at the minute.
Chalky Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Two SOS scans, CP and local. Local one was sold on here....

Russ Vickers Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) SOS with girl backing, Cameo Parkway dist. Also exists without girly backing according to the scan on the Youtube clip ? SOS no girlie backing. local issue. Golden Triangle. Anymore? There are two or three other topics on this somewhere but search not playing the game here at the minute. Anymore anyone ? Russ Edited September 9, 2011 by Russ Vickers
Russ Vickers Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 There are CP dist releases with different wordings & formats.....look at the scans on Popsike & Youtube mate. Russ
Chalky Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Scans ok here mate???? Youtube? I wouldn't believe most of the scans on them videos anyway, I watched half a dozen last night and all had wrong scans, they are lazy and simply use the first scan they get half the time without checking Someone will confirm if CP was issued without girlie backing, I didn't think it was, I thought CP added the girlie backing?
Tony Smith Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Surely it's accepted the Golden Triangle version is the last version coinciding with the Angela Davis LP, which also includes the Tyrone Thomas re-recording of "Baby, Can't You See". As stated before I prefer the CP distributed version avec girls, for me it just adds the X factor to the song, which just sounds a bit bland without them.
Chalky Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Thats how I saw it Tony, GT the last issued.
Premium Stuff Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Thats how I saw it Tony, GT the last issued. Yes - agreed Cheers Richard
Tony Smith Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Just to add the Tyrone Thomas re-recording is crap, and I support Richard regarding the other matter.
Benji Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 ... which also includes the Tyrone Thomas re-recording of "Baby, Can't You See". ... re-recording? They sound identical to my ears. although sound quality of the LP is rather low.
Guest Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 oh and I prefer it without the girlie backing, spoils it altogether for me. And me!
Tony Smith Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 re-recording? They sound identical to my ears. although sound quality of the LP is rather low. Slower isn't it?
John Reed Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 I love em both, with or without the girls its still a cracking piece of soul.
Anoraks Corner Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 re-recording? They sound identical to my ears. although sound quality of the LP is rather low. Sound different to me as well Benji...the guitar work is different as is the percussion.
Guest MrC Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Definately without the girls for me, cant stand that female wailing backing!!
Anoraks Corner Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 I'll balance it up...grew up with the girlie backed one, so if push comes to shove I will go for that take...although they're both great.
Guest giant Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 I prefer the version without the backing singers dj copy with female backing is awesome.
Vynilhound Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 In my humble opion the girlie backing ruins the track, it reminds me of Clive Dunn's Grandad we love you!! anyone know why they did it in the first place as there is hardly loads of copies of either version?

Guest Bearsy Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) re-recording? They sound identical to my ears. although sound quality of the LP is rather low. no they are defo different recordings, the words are actually different in parts of the record on the album to the SOS 45 version defo prefer the recording without the girlie backing, very week and seems like an add on even though it was released first Edited September 15, 2011 by Bearsy
Benji Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 no they are defo different recordings, the words are actually different in parts of the record on the album to the SOS 45 version ah, i see. never noticed that before. thanks for clearing that up! defo prefer the recording without the girlie backing, very week and seems like an add on even though it was released first IMO it sounds rather month (sorry couldn't resist)

I thought it was without first, then picked up/distributed by Parkway and girlie backing added. Later released on Golden Triangle.
Russ Vickers Posted September 17, 2011 Author Posted September 17, 2011 which was released first, girlie backing one? I thought it was without first, then picked up/distributed by Parkway and girlie backing added. Later released on Golden Triangle. Without girls I thought.... Russ
