Mal C Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Holidays - I love you Forever there is a better version than the golden world 45, with Edwin on vocals that are well to the fore, came out on a Soul Supply cd I think, I have it on MP3, anyhow I wonder did it ever get a vinyl release? Best malcolm
Caterham 7 Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) As far as I know It was only ever recorded using Edwin on Lead vocals...which were dubbed onto the track later... I’ve listened to it from various sources and they all sound like the same singer to me...but differ in sound quality This may shed some light... https://soulfuldetroit.com/web15-Holidays/08-Golden-World.htm Edited June 17, 2019 by Caterham 7

Caterham 7 Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 It’s also on the American Motown CD..The very best of Edwin Starr...
The Yank Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) This is a different version- but the lead singer doesn't sound like Edwin to me- Edited June 17, 2019 by The Yank 1
Caterham 7 Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Certainly a different version....lead voice does sound different for sure...
Mal C Posted June 17, 2019 Author Posted June 17, 2019 That’s the one, and the same cd, I transferred the mp3s long ago so don’t have the sleeve notes, but I’m sure the notes said different version by Edwin Starr...
Caterham 7 Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Yeh just listened again....think it is Edwin...just a different version..interesting..
Caterham 7 Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 A bit more info... https://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-holidays-mn0001802672
Mal C Posted June 17, 2019 Author Posted June 17, 2019 Cool init... I prefer it to the released GW side, sacrilege that is...
Eddie Hubbard Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 I don’t think it is Edwin Starr on the Goldmine CD , maybe Eddie Anderson ?

Popular Post Gilly Posted June 19, 2019 Popular Post Posted June 19, 2019 Ive got an acetate of this and had it at least 25 yrs I have it down as JJ Barnes also the a Capello of it. I know that Tony Hester and Steve Mancha also sang it (unreleased) The Golden World group were made up of members who were available on the day of which Tony Hester was one of them. The song was released by Edwin on Ed Wingates insistence maybe a little extra thankyou for Edwin bringing some food to the table in the form of Back Street, Agent oo soul, S O S and Headline News 4
