Pete S Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Mighty Joe Young probably too common to have been played anywhere though Stafford most likely, if anywhere. Kelly Bros was known from it's release on UK Sue in the mid 60's. Dunno the last one.
Patto Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 Cheers Pete Chambers Brothers is a complete stormer that started getting plays out around 3 years ago and was new to my ears anyway Mighty Joe young i know has been reactivated but as you say probably got 80s spins Kelly Brothers i have on the U,S Sims label and as you say is well known for the rare Sue issue Would like to know more about them all if poss

Mal C Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Oh no, the which version debate on the chambers Bros... dont get the USA Columbia single, think the version you need is LP USA and other, and Spanish or German 7inch release, something like that, but USA 7 inch release does not have the live effect on it, just does not have the 'hit' of the version you want.. I think thats right.. malcolm Edited January 11, 2014 by Mal C 1
Chalky Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 The Chambers Brothers is off the LP or the German 7 inch, that is the version you want. Think the German is multicoloured vinyl. Mighty Joe Young, couldn't tell you who played it first. As Pete says it was around for years and a cheapie, still is, another tape swapper sound. 1

Are you saying the 7" on Columbia is the same take as on the LP Chalky?
Chalky Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Are you saying the 7" on Columbia is the same take as on the LP Chalky? The US 7 is different from the LP, the LP is the one I think? The German one is what they all go for isn't it? Edited January 11, 2014 by chalky 1
Guest Matt Male Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) The US 7 is different from the LP, the LP is the one I think? The German one is what they all go for isn't it? I don't think the LP and the US 7" are different at all. They sound exactly the same to me, and I'm not just saying that because I play the 7" either . Can anyone post up the German version? I can't find any version on Youtube that sounds different from the US single (including the US LP The Time Has Come) and to be honest every time I've heard it played out, it's always sounded like the US 7".

I'd have to compare them again pal.
Chalky Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 These two sound different to my ears... and this one says it's from the LP? Granted their isn't a lot in them, one sounds like it is live.
Guest Matt Male Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 These two sound different to my ears... and this one says it's from the LP? Granted their isn't a lot in them, one sounds like it is live. So the red one is the German issue? Yes I agree totally different, but the LP and white Columbia sound exactly the same to me. To be honest the US version is just as good, so it wouldn't bother me which version was played.

To be honest the US version is just as good, so it wouldn't bother me which version was played. Yep the LP and the issue if that is the source sound the same. The German has the live vocals and a bit more going on in the mix by the sounds of it? I tend to stick to US issues etc so that would do for me too and is just as good as you say.
Patto Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Hi Chalky I have the U.S Demo.This is the one that is a studio recording but has a live effect with the count in.This version to my ears is more urgent and raw and is better played out The German release is different and is same as the LP i think.Still good but as i say i prefere the U.S cut Any idea on who started spinning it first and where did the Kelly brothers first get plays Edited January 11, 2014 by Patto
pogo paul Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Kelly Brothers - The Scene Club - Guy Stevens ? Makes sense if on Sue label.
Mal C Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) See I did say, if you mention this track, we spend the next three days discussing which ones the best mix, for the future I'm going to state it in my signature, save us all precious brain cells wondering why we all bought the wrong record!

M I bought the one i heard played out Mal and its the one i prefere so its the right one for me. Can't understand the hang up just play the one you prefere simples.I only wanted to get some background info as to who broke the record 1
Patto Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 I like using my braincells like this. Matt was it you and Adam topping that first started playing another big fave of mine JOANNE GARRET--WATCH BEEN DOING--DUO

Can't understand the hang up just play the one you prefere simples.I only wanted to get some background info as to who broke the record dont take anything I say seriously mate.. by the way I got a re issue of the LP couple weeks back from a strange source, a Hi Fi shop in Aylesbury, if you know Aylesbury you will know is a baron desert for good music of any sort... Great track, just dont mention the Multi Coloured German!! Mal.C 1
Guest Matt Male Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Matt was it you and Adam topping that first started playing another big fave of mine JOANNE GARRET--WATCH BEEN DOING--DUO Yes we did hammer it quite a bit at Move On. That would be about 4 years ago. I doubt we were the first though, although I personally hadn't heard it before then. Edited January 11, 2014 by Matt Male
John May Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Love the Kelly Bros, i expect it must have been played before, but Mick Smith was playing it early doors at the 100 club in the mid to late 9ts... remember buying mine from across the tracks in Brighton, a happy day that, brilliant record... Sits right next to Little Charles and the Sidewinders - Talkin About You Babe, dont you think? Mal.C One of my reg spins too when get the chance to spin, it also sounds very similar when played side by side to the royal premiers - I can make it if i try - MBS. Little Charles is also one of my fav spins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOhOnFpJLAc 2

I've heard all this about the differences between the various takes for years now & still can't tell the difference?At a venue nigh on impossible so I don't worry my little head about it..........also helps been a bit deaf Cheers Martyn 1
KevH Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Matt was it you and Adam topping that first started playing another big fave of mine JOANNE GARRET--WATCH BEEN DOING--DUO Ahem...
Keeper Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 The Chambers Brothers is off the LP or the German 7 inch, that is the version you want. Think the German is multicoloured vinyl. Mighty Joe Young, couldn't tell you who played it first. As Pete says it was around for years and a cheapie, still is, another tape swapper sound. Bowing down to the cognosenci........if thats spelled right i will fuckin join em ....but the German relaese...(quite rightly Chalky) vomit coloured issue is apparently a much, much better quality release than the US release .........God bless ze chaps in das studio !!!
John May Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Chambers brothers also sounds similar to Paramount four on Southern city 1
Spacehopper Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 sorry its not a post about who played what first but couldn't resist....this was the first place I heard it! https://youtu.be/NtNMCIYj7Lo
Pete S Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 The tune of that Chambers Brothers record sounds just like "Man Oh Man". 1
Shsdave Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I've heard all this about the differences between the various takes for years now & still can't tell the difference?At a venue nigh on impossible so I don't worry my little head about it..........also helps been a bit deaf Cheers Martyn With you on that Martyn. Bought a French issue then read that it was a weak version compared to others etc etc. Well it sounds bloody good to me (which is all that matters .....erm & of course those that have the misfortune of hearing me play it out ) but I listened to some of the various releases & it sounds identical. What I want to know is, am I going deaf ? 1
jocko Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I would say the Kelly Bros first main plays in my days was probably Allanton, not sure who played that, possibly Mr Walls Jnr. but it had been a tape swappers hit for most of the 80's, originating I would say from the Preston area, with Gaz Kellet being my first contact with the record I think. How many times has that been said over the years. It certainly featured on a number of tapes I did after that. Amazing to think of that coming out on British back in the day, was it based on club plays do we know for definite? It came out on their LP didn't it also, which came out in the UK (any spare copies gratefully rehomed ) didn't it. Do people (the really old ones on here obviously) remember it as a new release, I assume it would be publicised in the specialist press of its day. 2
