You Belong To Me - Earl Gaines


Recommended Posts

Years ago I came across this on Deluxe, got all excited, only to be told it was a slower version. I bought it anyway. Anybody know anything about it? Did it ever get played? I think Rob Smith used to own the faster version. Just curious . . .

Is it lp only or am I thinking of something else? Can't check at the moment, there's a load of other stuff on top of my lp boxes.

cant remember the title on the record but only 1 in 20/30 has the miss press good hunting

First heard this on a tape Dave Alcock gave me but it was under the wrong title so he must have had the same miss press as you, probably didn't know what it was really called though.

Wow, there's a blast from the past, Mick Gordon, I remember that name.

Makes me wonder how these miss presses happen??

 

Like this and the Curtis Smith/ Willie Small-How High Can you Fly on some copies of The Living End..

 

Surely they didn't have piles of stampers lying around and picked up the wrong 'un (can't be as simple as that !)

i have the hbr lp, i distinctly remember john vincent playing it at wigan, circa 74/75, though i wasnt aware of its format at the time. later, i picked up a copy of the version on deluxe at winsford nighter, thinking it was infact, the fast version...disappointed, but eventually got the one i wanted...as for the mispress, thats new on me...but only uncle ted could be party to such invaluable information!! :thumbsup: great tune though, and really ought to be spun by more djs.

Been in touch with the current license holder in the US & he's quite happy to grant the rights for "You Belong To Me" & any 2nd Earl Gains track for release on 45 if anyone here's interested.

just found a slower version by Earl on my hard drive is it the album version I wonder?

 

The slower version is the one on the DELUXE label 45 mentioned in the first post in this thread.

 

Have managed to find myself a copy of the HBR 45 with the fast version since my previous post in this thread as well, so no longer need the matrix details... :wink::D

Well I'm not a fan of loads of tracks that got played at the Casino ... BUT ... the track that's posted up on post #3 of this thread I do like.

A bit fast for these old creakin legs of mine but it is one I would happily listen to in a venue & at home.

WEll Ive had the mispress before but in low condition & sold it to a local DJ here ! Sold it to him at the right price(£60?) given condition it being VG at best.

However had the tune running through my head again and I did a search and blow me a Belgian dealer not only had one for 15 euros BIN in Ex cond he even had the soundfile for both sides stating the soundfiles was directly lifted from the record. ITs arrived and I am chuffed! PS I only thought the mispress is on the demo copies not the issues!
