Are these two tracks the same song, or is it just the opening riff?

[Mal C]

Three Days Ahead - Rolling Love (Pt2) and Paul Burton - So Very Hard To Make It (Without You) are effectively the same song? In fact I know the lyrics to Paul Burton, but I cant place them, anybody?

Goes without saying, if anybody has any of these 45's for sale?

Explain how they are the same song,the lead guitar is different.

start and ending is different, horns on one bass is punchy

snare and hi hat, oh the bongo,  the vocal is the better of the two by far.

sorry Mal but not the same to me,if I had them they'd be yours.

 ricky.

Okay so I have cloth in my ears because to me they barely sound similar. Paul Burton is the diamond.

[Mal C]

your right, they are not the same are they, strange I listed to both these as I love them, and I think after a bit I just started picking up on bits that were the same... anyhow they are great arn't they..

I can hear what you mean Mal , musically they are very similar , Three Days Ahead is a more modern version of the Paul Burton track , to my ears anyway  

[John Benson]

Unless I'm missing something, the first one has no vocals, so you can only compare the tune - not the songs!

That aside, yes the tunes are similar but not the same.

Paul Burton gets my vote every time though 

If I happen to come across two copies, I'll let you know!

Could you make that three John?
