Cheltsoulnights Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Hi. A mate has asked me if there is a different version as he believes he heard one recently at a doo and if it is available to buy? he can't find a sample online either? Anyone help? Thanks in advance
Monkey Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) unreleased: played by Butch Edited September 21, 2011 by monkey
Chalky Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Butch's copy is Mill Edwards, Exodus test press/acetate. The Ritchie Parker is an old Poke spin I think. 1

Cunnie Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Butch's copy is Mill Edwards, Exodus test press/acetate. The Ritchie Parker is an old Poke spin I think. The Richie Parker version is actually Aaron Neville (well that's what it say's on my copy). Got in touch with a friend of Aaron several years ago & he played him the mp3 I sent him & he said he vaguely remembered recording it.

I knew it was someone else but couldn't think who off top of me head, was sat in traffic too so couldn't look. Dunno about you but I don't particularly like the version. Butch's copy definitely Mill Edwards...... Sound files of all versions in refo but will have to wait till it is up and running in the near future.
Cheltsoulnights Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 Thanks for the info guys. My mate was tipsy at the time but reckons Neil Rushden played it last weekend? Does this help id it?
Gilly Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 For what its worth would anyone agree with me that T J Williams on Josie shares a very simlar base line to Just like the weather ? Gilly 1
Cheltsoulnights Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 also found on the web the mention of a reissue on lookalike constellation which is a different cut? but cant locate an mp3?

Neil is on here maybe ask him? He might have a copy of the Richie Parker/Aaron Neville, so George may have been right.

Simon T Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 The Richie Parker version is actually Aaron Neville (well that's what it say's on my copy). Is this the version that has the instrumental to it on the 'b' side?
Cunnie Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Is this the version that has the instrumental to it on the 'b' side? Yes Simon. The copy that was Poke's had the instrumental on the b side but mine has the vocal on both sides.HDH (Holland Dozier Holland?) acetates. He used to play it around 1980ish (both sides). Were also some emidiscs flying around but the sound quality was terrible.
Cheltsoulnights Posted September 23, 2011 Author Posted September 23, 2011 you got a link to this Pete? it was from google for rarenorthernsoul.com and led to the lookalike reissue. google info claimed a spoken intro? Not there now?

I'd seen that one and when listened no spoken intro... https://www.rarenorthernsoul.com/hot-new-releases/14355/just-like-the-weather---if-he-makes-you/#product reissue = boot I take it?
dthedrug Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 HI ALL.When it comes to this recording & "a love reputation" they both have the same backing, as I'm sure you already know, the Mill Evens as far as I am aware also shares the backing track, and al 3 start at the same place, I have heard a semi instrumental of just like the "Werther" back in the 70's but I am positive it was just the 2 songs spliced together, I have done it many times, so I have discounted that one, however there is another version of " just like the weather" on the 1st constellation blue bootleg? (I assume it was a boot). Also of interest is the writer credits JLTW credits Richard Parker, while ALR credits L Baker & W H Emerson. so why are the songs only credited and not the music? as the music publisher are different, I have come to the conclusion that the music is ANON and like most Chicago tunes eg standard 12 bar blues no one can state ownership, it's just attributed to an artist. so to conclude there must be the instrumental of these classics out there as well as other songs, LETS HOPE SO DAVE
