Mark, As Eddie mentioned, RW did indeed play it first. The supplier ...who else but Simon Soussan. The undisputed King discoverer 1972-74! For the first few weeks, requests poured in for 'the James Bond record' !!

For the first few weeks, requests poured in for 'the James Bond record' !! ==== thanks for that kev all these sounds we take for granted now but forget that they were all new at some time ref this one - what a corker! i wonder what would happen if mr soussan ever reappeared over here again, would he be welcomed ,ignored who knows? be interesting though.
Martyn Pitt Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 On a serious note look out for Yvonne Baker - Eyes - Argo nice record which really shows off her voice well. Martyn

I used to go in 1969 and remember Mckenna Mendolson Mainline-She's Alright! Petal ..a top guy.
Guest ScooterNik Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Who cut the more modern version of it?
Dayo Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 old club soul played by Petal at the Union Boat club late 6ts also played at the revolution played by the same bloke Sutton in Ashfield. 1969 Doug Confused here. Are you saying that YDSAW was first played out in 1969?!

Kieth played more than mmm in those days was also instrumental in teaching the idiot DJS like me the art of Dance Music and that you played Roosevelt and Ira Lee b4 Polk Salad Annie. Rare times
Guest vinylvixen Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 On a serious note look out for Yvonne Baker - Eyes - Argo nice record which really shows off her voice well. And Mend the Torn Pieces.......... gorgeous mid tempo........Jo Martyn
Martyn Pitt Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 I will agree with that Jo, on Junior I think, with a great version of I cant change on the other side for good measure, and probably cheap as chips still. Martyn
Paul R Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Who cut the more modern version of it? 'twas the fair maiden Patty Austin. Paul
Tomangoes Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Following on to this thread, has anyone published a book listing the classics like this along with the discoverer and/or DJ who played it first? Where it was played and what month/year etc. Is anyone that knowledgeable. Ed

Guest Neil-ok Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Yvonne Baker-You Didnt Say A Word if ever a song was wrote for a James Bond movie it would have fitted pefectly to one of the older bond movies.

Dayo Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 Yvonne Baker-You Didnt Say A Word if ever a song was wrote for a James Bond movie it would have fitted pefectly to one of the older bond movies. You're absolutely right Neil. If you haven't heard it check out "You Only Live Twice" by Lorraine Chandler. A stunning Pied Piper production, that undoubtedly was made with Bond in mind.

Where it was played and what month/year etc. Is anyone that knowledgeable. Ed Excellent idea, but HUGE potential for arguments. I could imagine the errors/corrections being larger than the book itself!
Guest ScooterNik Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 'twas the fair maiden Patty Austin. Paul Really? Many thanks. One of that rare example of a song with two completely different versions that I enjoy both of.
