4th one is definitely a take on Be young Be foolish Be happy.  Don't remember it though. Definitely remember the 3rd one but no idea who or what. 

[Merve]

I remember that 1st one but can't put a name to it. I've a feeling it was a British release though 

[Wiganer1]

Yea it's annoyed hell outta me for years

Got a feeling it turned out to be a british 'easy listening' thing on A&M or Page 1 something like that but I could be getting it wrong - Was it 78ish ?

[Wiganer1]

Yes 78 keep diggin pal well get there lol

[Winsford Soul]

Pete Smith and Dave Holt are the two guys with the knowledge.  No disrespect to yourself Mark. Neither or on here as you know. 

[Stevecee]

Mark, Is Dancin on the same tape as the Honey Cone track from 78 that we finally sorted a few years back? If so I have just got some tapes from a friend who also taped that night and if I remember correctly my tape only had a short snippit, as he was taping next to me there is a good chance there will be more. If it is the same tape let me know and I'll check it out tomorrow.

 

[Wiganer1]

yes it is steve...i talked to keith about it who played it,,its got to be on british

 

 

fantastic mate ! hope u ok ...ps that honey cone is brilliant..both sides

Your memory is good - He was a weekly regular for Ken Cox long before 78...Years ago he joined in a discussion on here that drifted onto his move from Wigan to St Ives (in 76 I think).

 

While we are talking Wigan obscurities there was a girly group record about leaving school with the line " I picked up my pencils' in it being played around the same time as the instrumental in 78. Its been driving me mad trying to find out what it is for years. It was a bit 'pop', so I probably won't like it if I hear it again

No, but a similar style record.....I think it was a Keith spin, so probably British again (?), a bit more poppy in the Karen Young, Ann dAndrea style ...Was the instrumental we are trying to track down one of his ?...I'm thinking Keith or Alan Rhodes ?

Messed up my text !

[Wiganer1]

his was the Dancing track...

[Stevecee]

Mark, I haven't forgotten this, his tape was a C120 and despite precautions it got chewed up so I need to repair it before I check...

[Wiganer1]

Ok Steve mate bless ya had to repair one from 1978 managed it though

So similar its got to be a different take or another version. Lets see if others agree

...........Same sort of voice as Prince Ella who recorded with the Sidney Jones (on Prince). Sidney produced Albert George & a couple of others on Soul Time 

[Mike]
