Dobber Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 hi gang,just been listening to the inspirations-no one else can take your place- on youtube,i was listening to the version that is on the breakthrough bootleg,but then i listened to another version on breakthrough,the backing music was the same,but the vocal was different,i always thought that the ultra rare copy was the same record as the boot,but obviously original! so why is there 2 versions with the same backing and group name on the same label?

Pete S Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 The original, which I think is one sided, is a totally different take to the reissue., which people say was a re-recording. Both are brilliant in my opinion, I prefer the "remake" myself. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dobber Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 i also prefer the remake,but now ive listened to the other version,that is growing on me,i wonder if i will start to prefer the original version just because its rarer and more exspensive,because if im honest i have been guilty of liking a record just because its expensive...how shallow and stupid is that! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dobber Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 how many copys of the original are known,and are they here in the uk? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
dthedrug Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 HI ALL LIKE BOTH VERSIONS, but like all of you prefer the remake, in truth about how many copies exist in the UK? well I have only seen 1, ever, but a guess would be 10 x 1 sided and that would leave about 5 in the STATES DAVE Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
KevH Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Think this has been done before,but my guess is 6 original copies.Dobber,there's an archived thread hidden away on here somewhere,with if i remember correctly,some input from Joey Jefferson on how the Pink came about. The Pink Breakthrough came via the Mecca/Clee influence,and as you said,most looked on them as boots. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 look for the post by Neil Rushton for how they came about..... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

boba Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 The 1977 press with different vox isn't a bootleg btw 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Peter Richer Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Technically, the 1977 pink Breakthrough is a legitimate 'tailor-made' cover version. Albeit an extremely close cover, as most of the re-recording shares the same production team, but with Charles Diamond taking the lead instead of Johnny Hendley. An interesting point of detail, which most people overlook, is that the two records have different titles. Original version of the song is called 'No One ELSE Can Take Your Place'. Charles Diamond version is called 'No One Can Take Your Place'. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Sean Hampsey Posted August 18, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2012 I know they were buddies but that doesn't sound like John Hendley to me. They reckon it was John Hendley, having a particularly bad day Pete. Certainly not as committed vocally as on 'My Baby Came Out Of Nowhere'. The 'Pink' issue is (IMO) the better take of the two, Dobber. Don't let all that 'rarity' nonsense play tricks with your hearing. Sean 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Andy Rix Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 See these previous threads All I will add is that I subsequently spoke to Charles Perry/Diamond who confirmed that he did go back into the studio, in 77, to do a vocal over the original band track ... therefore my suggestion that it was one of the previously unreleased other male lead versions was incorrect Andy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dobber Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 i also thought the backing track is exactly the same for both versions,i would have thought that the musicians would struggle to get the same sound twice at different sessions,so i think its different vocals to the same track!
