Supercorsa Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I was reading about Clarence Jackson's, If The Shoe Don't Fit, on the forgotten oldies thread and it got me wondering. I bought this a while back off Ebay, after hearing it one evening at These Old Shoes. It wasn't until after I bought it that I found I already had it on CD (Goldmines - Wigan Casino 25th Anniversary). Anyway what I'd like is can anyone confirm that this is an original, just seemed to me that it doesn't sound like a 1974 release (does that make sense? ), thanks. Also I've posted up a soundfile in the gallery for people to listen to. >> Click Here << Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I think it was recorded in the 6ts,but issued in the 7ts,mines orange issue........ Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
John Al Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I think it was recorded in the 6ts,but issued in the 7ts,mines orange issue........ Hiya, Yes, you have an original Demo. Record was issued in 1974 on Valtone which is when I bought my copy. Issues are orange. The reason is sounds 1960s is because it is. The track was originally recorded as "You Got It and I Want It" by Andre Williams on the Ric Tic label. Another forgotten oldie! Both are very good records. Cheers, John.

Guest Netspeaky Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Had a lot of these years ago and they were all off center, I was never sure if they were boots or not, haven't had one for years though. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Awake 502 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 issues normaly have instr on flip side but my demo has another vocal track. Instrumental seemed to get lots of plays at Cleethorpes / Samanthas, never understood the fascination with instumentals at the time when the vocal was usually better. Third Time around, Kim Tolliver, Boogie Man Orch etc... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

There were hundreds of clubs that you could listen to this type of thing in Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

John Al Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Nice one mate! Good record this and, if you read my previous posts, not a "disco record". Whatever that means! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
