Citizen P Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Terrible Title init but a fantastic tune by The Dells apparently played at the Wheel ,another version by JimmyJames is just as good. Anyone know it , play it(except me and Steve)???? Cheers Tony
Guest Dan Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 think you're right about the title tony as someone said on another thread, worth covering up purely to change it! hard with the dells though! must say have never heard it played anywhere

BTW don't request a soundbite as I have neither the technology or the skills required Cheers Tony
Citizen P Posted November 16, 2005 Author Posted November 16, 2005 OOPs just had a nasty thought. Could really confuse people and cover it up as THE DELLS sounds just like 'em Tony
Guest Dan Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 BTW don't request a soundbite as I have neither the technology or the skills required all you need is a PC which plays sound (if not, you're into technical stuff like soundcards which i don't understand, but which i'm told is easy) and some decks (you may have to buy a lead from the back of your amp to the back of your PC but richer sounds do them for about a fiver) then (and thanks to mark vaultofsouler etheridge for this) you go online and download polderbits, costs i think £25 for lifetime. start polderbits, play your record, press 'record' and you create a file which you can upload in about 15 seconds. really is that simple (i speak as a technophobe tony) .
Citizen P Posted November 16, 2005 Author Posted November 16, 2005 Okey Dokey Now how do I smuggle the Decks into the office?? Tony
Pete S Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Minor hit by Jimmy James - didn't know there was another version
Guest Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Okey Dokey Now how do I smuggle the Decks into the office?? Tony LOL
Guest Dan Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Okey Dokey Now how do I smuggle the Decks into the office?? Tony hmm tough call that one. how about nicking the pc instead?

Richard Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 The Jimmy James - New Religion Lp has a couple of great tracks on it. my faves are the versions of This Heart Of Mine and Gotta Dance To Keep From Cryin'

Codfromderby Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 The Jimmy James - New Religion Lp has a couple of great tracks on it. my faves are the versions of This Heart Of Mine and Gotta Dance To Keep From Cryin' new religion lp came out on atco in the states, called come to me softly i reckon best tracks aint no big thing, and little boy blue, come to me softly on piccadilly issue went on e-bay last week for less han a fiver!!dness should be worth 20 times that imho
Jerry Hipkiss Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Looks Good, Does it have Come Softly To Me on the other side same as the Atco release? Cos that's good too. Tony Thought that "Red red wine" was t'other side...? Hippo
Mike Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 (edited) Thought that "Red red wine" was t'other side...? Hippo used the atco version as a ender a few times recently and seems to go well bit of info as guilty of the look at google rather record box here was aware off but could never remember which way round , of course has nothing to do with orig question ........... How Atlantic Records in the U.S. got wind of them is anyone's guess, but their Atco label issued, a mere two years late, a version of the B-side of James' second Piccadilly single. It wasn't, however, the same track; "Come To Me Softly" in its US version runs 2:45 (versus 3:25 for the British release), and while either way you get a ballad written by James himself and sung like Chuck Jackson with the rough stuff buffed off, the American release has sweetly-singing strings and sweeping piano arpeggios all over the place, not just during the instrumental break. The backing tracks are entirely different, so it's not a case of postproduction overdubbing. Atco followed with a Come To Me Softly album (33-222), containing a 3:20 version with a longer break; in typical American fashion, it turned out to be otherwise a truncated version of the Vagabonds' Piccadilly LP (The New Religion). full info such as billboard postion can be found here https://www.dustbury.com/music/jjames.html theres also a same titled 79 jackie edward lp titled the same as this, anyone had ears on his version ? on about Come To Me Softly Edited November 18, 2005 by mike-
Dave Rimmer Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Hi Craig, never seen it that label before. Very nice. Bargain too!! The label is Hanna Barbara Records, remember all the cartoons by the company, well they also did records. Only ever seen one other release on the label though.
Kev Connellan Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 (edited) The label is Hanna Barbara Records, remember all the cartoons by the company, well they also did records. Only ever seen one other release on the label though. Hi Dave, I have Earl Gains - Its worth anything on HBR - great RnB dancer >>listen here<< I'm sure Earl had other stuff on the label too, but not got anything else myself. didn't Dynatones come out on HBR also? Oh, and Billy Storm of course. Edited November 18, 2005 by RnB Rookie
Jerry Hipkiss Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 didn't Dynatones come out on HBR also? Yes, after the St. Clair issue. back on topic, JJ's version of "Hi Diddley" etc. was one of my favourite choons on its original release - and yet, to this day I've never heard the Dells version. now where's me headphones..... hippo.
Jerry Hipkiss Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 Oh dear - maybe my brain is going to sleep - "Come to me softly" was never the flip of "Red Red Wine " in the US - that was "No good to cry". Forget I ever mentioned it... here's the UK issue of Hi diddley...
