Dee Clarke Acetate, 'don't Use Me'

[Steve Brown]

Did anyone else watch this on e bay last night? I had a good bid and was winning up to the last 10 seconds and then it suddenly jumped to just under $1000. A real nice RnB style belter. Does anyone know it and know any history of the track? The acetate was accredited to Constellation as you might expect.

 

Thanks

Same song as the Nolan Chance on Constellation but a totally other orchestration. Unissued off course. Flip TCB is the same as the release on Constellation.

[Steve Brown]

I never would have twigged that. I have a copy of Nolan Chance and you are absolutely right, it is the same track. Not as punchy as the Dee Clarke version.

 

Thanks for that.

I had what I thought may be a winning punt too but was surprised at the final amount, especially as it's a know song. I quite liked it.... but not for a grand. Fair play to the winner though. Must have liked it more than us. ;-)

 

Regards,

I was 2nd bidder so liked it more than all but one person it seems, haha, ironically of sorts was also the 2nd bidder a couple of years ago on the acetate of the flip that Butch won, go figure.

Thank you Kirsty. 

 

Interesting. Very sparse production. Somebody obviously liked it very much.
