Eddie Holman - She's Wanted

[Northern Soul Uk]

As an alternative to the Larry Clinton monster, I quite like the Eddie Holman version of 'She's wanted'
Does anyone know the origins of this version? Was it an album only track or was it released on 7" before

the 'Grapevine' release? and if so what label?

Thanks

I only know it from the Grapevine 45.

It's definitely not on the Goldmine/Soul suppl L.P that came out several years ago featuring a lot of his unissued stuff.

Unreleased.version as far as I recall, before grapevine put.it out Edited December 3, 2013 by NEV

I've always assumed it was the demo that Eddie did given that he co-wrote it so it wasn't intended to be released (I guess).

[Guest]

I love the instrumental version...has that gained a legal issue?

[davidwapples]

not heard the instrumental in ages , had 3/4 of  it on a cd or podcast somewhere that ive  managed to lose

[Northern Soul Uk]

Wonder where it came from originally then? Master tape maybe? def' can't see it on any of his albums.

Didn't Andy Rix & Rob Thomas find this or am I dreaming (pissed) again ?

 

Andy mate , where are you ?

p.s. sure I've seen some footage of Eddie singing whilst the acetate was playing , not sure if it wasn't at the same time they found 'World of happiness' ????

I've got this on "Soul Beat" single, bought on the scooter scene during the 80's. Think it might be Sister Sledge, Ronnie Dyson or Detroit Prophets version of Suspicion on the other side. Not too sure which as have 2 records on that label (cough - dubious origins - ) from then.

Different tune, you're talking about 'Where I'm Not Wanted'.

This is about 'She's Wanted In Three States'...

[Peter99]

Proper Northern tune. In fact it's a storming northern tune.

 

Innit.

So I take it from comments that the only way to get this is on 'Grapevine' then? Was hoping it might be an unreleased album track, Shame!

D'oh!

[Ralf Mehnert]

I have an old Video tape somewhere where he performed She`s wanted on stage. It was in Stafford I think.

[Soulman]

Sorry folks, am I missing something here. I dont recall Eddie Holman getting a Grapevine release of "She's Wanted In Three States"... only the Larry Clinton version. Eddie certainly has performed it in the UK as I have it on video but as per previous comment along the same lines... I wouldnt have a clue where it is.

Please clearthis up with a definitive answer as I think I'm losing my marbles

No. 150 on list.

[Soulman]

Aaaahhh... Grapevine 2000, now I didn't think of that series and in fact its the one series I didn't collect. Thank you Mr Supercorsa... I can sleep soundly now

[Northern Soul Uk]

Actually interesting that is say's (RE) at the side of it? Imagining that means Re-Release, in turn meaning that it has been release perviously?
Which begs the question when, and what on?

[Marc Forrest]

theres two versions by eddie holman, the one on grapevine and a better one..

That's really helpful Marc.

 

A better one!

[Northern Soul Uk]

What is the 'better' one on Marc? do you have a link to a soundbyte?

[Guest mjh999]

I saw Eddie sing this live many years ago at the Ritz All Nighter in McR and he was shockingly bad

[Ian Seaman]

[Mace]

Well just had to buy the Grapevine copy, from a guy in France for £12.99. I think the 'EH' version is excellent and the inst' in on the 'B' side too I believe so bonus!

Maybe, but mine is much older. Mid 80s.

Hi,

Eddie sang 'She's Wanted' at Stafford. I was not a great fan of live acts but he was amazing. I was looking through records and not concentrating when he started his set and it took me about 20 seconds to realise it was not a DJ playing 'I Surrender'. One of the truly distinctive and great soul voices in my book.

Regards

Ion

A great performance! And the Mod girl in the orange mini-dress wasn't bad either. Any Stafford Lorraine Chandler or Popcorn Wylie footage out there?

Eddie also appeared at the Yarmouth Weekenders.

When Eddie Holman performed at Lowton backed by four members of the Liverpool Philharmonic orchestra it to my mind redefined live acts. It was the greatest performance that I've seen of any live act. Think it was about ninety minutes of unbelievable pure emotion. He described how every record that he performed came about, who he wrote it for. Hey there lonely girl was just like listening to the 45.  I surrender, so special. Wanted in three states. WOW. Where I'm not wanted. You just had to be there. I can't describe the night, no words could do it justice.

yep agree, I was there

I saw Eddie Holman perform Lonely Girl live - probably at Hinckley. As he was singing it I thought fcuk me can someone really sing like that? Class act indeed.
