Unknown (?) Version Of 'what's Wrong With Me Baby'

[Sebastian]

Found a 45 the other day with a version of "What's Wrong With Me Baby" (the same tune as done by Invitations and Toys). The other side was also a Linzer/Randell composition which The Toys also recorded a version of and released on the same LP as their version as "WWWMB".

Have a listen to this short clip:

Is it known?

It's obviously not in the same league as the two other versions, but found it interesting at least!

Actually there's another male solo version isn't there, Rare Northern Soul had one, I have no idea who this one you've posted up is but she sounds like she might be European and not American

Seem to recall that I have a 'poppy' type UK (little label) 45 that features 2 Sandy Linzer tracks, one of which could well be "WWWMB".

Santa Ponsa may be the label its on (or at least a bluey grey label).

Pete, you're right, it isn't american.

The vocalist is Irina Milan from Finland.

Recorded in Sweden and as far as I know only released in Sweden on HMV in 1967.

A real oddity and I've never ever seen a copy of it prior to a couple of days ago.

Just thought I'd post it up as I was so surprised to find a version of it recorded in one of the Nordic countries!

The flipside is "Baby's Gone".

Its better than the toys imo.
