Guest MBarrett Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) There's been a live version of Stevie Wonder Funny (How Time Slips Away) around for ever hasn't there. Duet with Clarence Paul.

It's quite good. The pairing with Clarence Paul is interesting in hindsight. I feel that Motown didn't know what to do with Stevie...it's as if they felt a young teenager should not have 'romantic' songs...his stuff after 'fingertips' and prior to ' uptight' are all dance/novelty type...as this 1965 shows.

Robbk Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I was looking for records all over USA in 1964, and NEVER saw the scheduled release of "High Heel Sneakers" backed with "Funny How time Slips away". I have only ever seen it with "Music Talk", both on DJ and store stock. I NEVER saw the other pressing even in The Motown Record File and Jobete Music Record File. I don't think it EVER got to the pressing stage. I think the flip side was changed before it even got scheduled for pressing (e.g. it was only slated, and never even scheduled). Have any of you ever seen a scan of a pressed up Tamla 45, even WDJ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soulfinger Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 This is a great set. Ivy Jo's tracks are cracking. I particularly like the alternate versions of Can't Break the Habit and Baby You Know You Ain't Right. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Jim G Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Stevie Wonder "Funny How Time Slips Away" up for auction on Ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/STEVIE-WONDER-FUNNY-HOW-TIME-SLIPS-AWAY-WITHDRAWN-1965-TAMLA-MOTOWN-B-SIDE-45-/141851344239?hash=item2106ffbd6f:g:RSAAAOSwyQtVuVkg Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

It was withdrawn, probably from the pressing plant or distributor, with just a few escaping at the distributor, and, possibly from a few Detroit stores that got it, similar to the situations with Oma Heard VIP, Patrice Holloway and Kim Weston's "A Little More Love".

Guest Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I had a Kim Weston stock copy. I didn't know it was anything special (the disc, not the track which is wonderful). When I put my US Motown 45s up for auction, (and one collector got about 90% of them) I remember that the bid for my Kim Weston was way out of line from all the rest. I wasn't aware it was 'rare' as in withdrawn etc. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 really enjoying this 1965 set...most tracks do it for me. The Shorty Long track is nice but what a weird song.....I wonder if it relates to a real life scenario? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The Shorty Long track is nice but what a weird song.....I wonder if it relates to a real life scenario? I, too, like the Shorty Long cut. I like him singing in a mellow, less Bluesy style, sometimes. He sang a few mellow ballads while with Gwen Gordy's Tri-Phi Records. "Going Away" is a great example. The Hit Pack cut is also very nice, with a nice job done by lead, Robert Dobyne. The Oma Heard cut is nice, as well. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
