Supercorsa Posted March 1, 2006 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 <<

Guest Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 I think it was recorded in the 6ts,but issued in the 7ts,mines orange issue........
John Al Posted March 1, 2006 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 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.
Guest Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 I'm sure JA at Soul Bowl had soemthing to do with this. Big record 1975/76 at The Wirrrina for yours truly.

Tricky Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 issues normaly have instr on flip side but my demo has another vocal track.
Guest Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 issues normaly have instr on flip side but my demo has another vocal track. I have heard the sound quality is a bit iffy` on the demo`s,any trueth to this rumour?
Codfromderby Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 issues normaly have instr on flip side but my demo has another vocal track. boots/reissues have instru on the other side "first" issues have another vocal, however cant remember what the other side is but i remember something else has the same backing track or indeed is the same record eg if it dont fit clarence jackson = determination fabulous appolas?
Craig W Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 The demo release has Whats so good to you on the flip and sound quality is superb.
Guest Awake 502 Posted March 2, 2006 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...

There were hundreds of clubs that you could listen to this type of thing in Paul

John Al Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Nice one mate! Good record this and, if you read my previous posts, not a "disco record". Whatever that means!
Dave Morris Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 I just love the Clarence Jackson record.Always try and play it in my spot when dj'ing. Dave
