I Need To Know This Record...it's A Good 'un

[Soulstu]

It was played out last night - probably a very well known one that somehow or another i've missed.... and it's a belter.

 

All I can give you guys is a description:

 

Pretty uptempo, male vocal, slight RnB flavour, horns etc (maybe a touch of harmonica in it?) but very northern.

 

Chorus tune is a bit like the 'Every night and day, I'm gonna stay' bit in Comin' Home Baby but over the top he sings, 'my baby is gone, my baby is gone'.. I think.

 

I didn't ask the DJ for fear of being laughed out of the venue!... you live and learn.

 

There's a virtual pint (ePint?) in it for the person who can help me out!

Could be Mel Torme-coming home baby

[Steve S 60]

Sounds a lot like Mel Torme from the description.

[Guest Chris61]

Another vote for Mel Torme 'Comin Home Baby'

 

 

Chris..

Sonny Moore on Mercury

 

 

Often played pitched down on the Popcorn scene.

[Soulstu]

No - I was using Comin' Home baby to describe the chorus!

And it's not Sonny Moore (tho I'd like to hear that out).

I recorded a bit on my phone - will try and post, but it's well distorted.

Don't forget Martyns pint

[Guest Mellorful]

Its available on Kent label (town 123) with Bobby Garrett on the other side

Ady C saves the day again by making sure its available to us on British vinyl rather than American styrene.

[Soulstu]

There you go Martyn, an electronic pint of Old Peculier, smooth, nutty and satisfying!

We do still give out a free cd (for promotional use only) at our anniversaries.

We used to have the tracks listed on our website but we were "asked" to take them down.
