Ljblanken Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 hey, i have two copies of this single, and both are white label promos. in fact, i don't think i've ever seen a stock copy. do they exist? i know northern folks play the A-side... ...but do people ever spin the FANTASTIC b-side as well? ("I wonder why")? just curious. it has some odd tempo changes, but is so RAD!
Rick Cooper Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 I've had the record on a white promo and all the copies on Popsike are the same so regular stock copies must be scarce. I think that the if the record didn't sell well on release, distributors sent back the stock for credit and off loaded the worthless demos. A company like Tangerine wouldn't want their reputation tarnished by having loads of records in the bargain bins so destroyed the returns. Other records were thought to exist on demo only but have turned up on stock copies so maybe there are copies out there somewhere. Great record in my opinion , but not one for the dance floor. Rick 1

Rick I used to play this to a good dance floor reaction, right time and place I suppose? 2
Ljblanken Posted September 8, 2013 Author Posted September 8, 2013 I used to play this to a good dance floor reaction, right time and place I suppose? i agree. not a stomper, but is a rich tune to move around to. also just sounds so BIG over a nice PA system. 1

Rick Always had this down as an early doors play,shuffler to warm things up.Quality mid tempo.
Guest Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 "I Wonder Why" was on one of Guy Hennigans tapes that did the rounds during the mid-80's...don't think he played it out much though. Love COBTM though her vocal is questionable in places...but forgivable
