Hi Russ

I prefer the sparse version :yes:

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!! :thumbsup:

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.

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.

I thought the SOS Cameo Parkway distributed and girlie backing 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 ???

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 :rolleyes: Someone will confirm if CP was issued without girlie backing, I didn't think it was, I thought CP added the girlie backing?

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.

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?

got to agree the backing singers sound like a bunch of kids shrieking away, terrible, spoil a good record.

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 :thumbsup:

defo prefer the recording without the girlie backing, very week and seems like an add on even though it was released first

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.
