Pete S Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 Not as good as Sam Williams...don't think it's on a cd though
Billy Freemantle Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 Will have a listen to that a bit later. I really like that HH which is called something like "Your love is too much for the human heart to stand." really heavy, deepest soul stuff. By the way, great to see you back Pete. That saves me tracking your e mail down!

Guest Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 Not as good as Sam Williams...don't think it's on a cd though link First played by Richard Searling, late 70's methinks. Good version, but can't match Ohio Players. IMO.
Guest LeoLyxxx Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 But surely the Herman Hitson version is an unreleased one? Or am i wrong here? My fave is Ohio Players aswell.. best Leo
Pete S Posted December 20, 2004 Author Posted December 20, 2004 Yeah it an unreleased version. The best one has got to be Sam Williams, but off the Grapevine 45 - as far as I know, it's the only time it's ever appeared in it's entirety, it's 30 seconds longer than the 45 or any compilation appearance. The B side is a great version of You Don't Mean It by Towanda/Gloria Barnes, which was also recorded by...Ohio Players

oldsteve woomble Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 I LOVE that version by Ohio Players, a shame the version on the Lp is recorded at such a low level although the 45 is in the post for me as we speak (type?) Which 45? Ohio players?? What? Tell me more unless it's one of these out last week jobs....
Guest Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 Steve, I read it originally as you did, but I think he means 'You Dont Mean It'. If not I want a scan ASAP SteveM
Guest Jamie Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 As you all know, I don't know a great deal about record history etc. But what I do know is that the Ohio Players version of 'LSTMF' is out of this world. First heard it off that 'Soul Satisfaction' CD comp. Being impatient, I can't wait until I get home to read the liner notes before asking this question: What format/s was it released on? Is it available/price? If not, could anyone guide me through the minefield of whether there is an acceptable method of having said tune in 7" format?? Ta Jamie.

Ta Jamie. link It's an LP track, not sure if it was released at the time but more like a cash in when they became famous. I may be wrong. I've had 6 of these cut onto 7" for people in the last 3 weeks, there's no other way to get it on a 7" than make your own!

If so, have you got one, and how much would I expect to pay? Cheers, Jamie
Guest Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 Thanks Pete Could you tell me what the album is called? If so, have you got one, and how much would I expect to pay? Cheers, Jamie link Jamie, Its a greatest hits album on US Trip records. Seen it @ £30-£100. Be lacky you norvern mankey
Guest Johnny One Trout Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 Jamie, Its a greatest hits album on US Trip records. Seen it @ £30-£100. Be lacky you norvern mankey link Isn't Trip the re-issue label???
Guest Jamie Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 Seen it on Westbound, but not in the track listing????
Guest Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 (edited) Isn't Trip the re-issue label??? link Yes, JOT , Think it was a music for pleasure type operation.. Not seen the other one Edited December 23, 2004 by BLADEFORLIFE
Alan T Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 I'm sure i've heard that the Herman Hitson acetate is actually a guy called Nate Adams. He has a 45 on Atlantic called "I'm gonna be good". I'll have to try and listen to them both to see if the voice is the same. In the 70s film Superfly, Nate Adams comes up in the credits as one of the drug dealers. Only presuming that theres a link between these three things. Ohio Players version is on the Trip album called "Superpak". Tomo
Godzilla Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 Ohio Players version is on the Trip album called "Superpak". Tomo link The album I've always seen it on is a Trip album titled something like "16 Great Hits". If you look around you can pick it up for $10 / $20 or so. Before I got the album I bought a cheap Greatest Hits CD that had Love Slips... on it. It sounded like it had been recorded off granny's radiogramme from a mic in her coal shed. Godz
