Sebastian Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 (edited) Just spent the afternoon in a record store basement and found quite a lot of nice 45s and LPs (mostly swedish freakbeat/garage/mod type stuff) and amongst the stack of records I brought home was an obscure 4-track gold flexi disc by swedish band Ola & The Janglers. It features a storming version of "You Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies" that I thought some of you might like to hear. I've known about it for ages, but it's proven quite hard to track down (especially in playable condition considering that it's a flimsy flexi disc and almost 40 years old!). This is the Dana Valery/Simon & Garfunkel classic given the same kind of 60s freakbeat treatment as The Purple Hearts did on their take of Jimmy Fraser's "Of Hopes And Dreams And Tombstones". I'm not saying that this is "soulful" or should be played in a northern soul setting, probably best to point that out...

Guest Simon Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 You Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies - ola & the janglers - williams flexi 14980 refosoul That is Eurovision-tastic, Sebastian, great stuff! Simon Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 (edited) That is Eurovision-tastic, Sebastian, great stuff! Simon Haha! And here they are: For all you swedes, that's "Clabbe" (yowza! yowza!) at the top right in the second picture... Ola Haakansson who was in this group formed the band Secret Service in the late 70s and scored a european/south american hit with "Oh Suzie"... and then in the 90s he started the independent record label which released The Cardigans hit records ("Lovefool" etc.). The lot of them turned out to be music biz people... Edited February 21, 2007 by Sebastian Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Blake H Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I remember Steve Ceasar buying a Columbia issue of "Intrest" with the artist name scratched off, got it home and guess what? Yep it was Simon & Garfunkel, thank god for portable players , btw it was only £3 which should have set alarm bells ringing. Blake Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sunnysoul Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 The Australian only release of "You Don't Where Your Interest Lies" by Fia Karin on the Spin label remains the best "northern" style version of the tune (IMHO) and is very rare too , Aussie collectors will confirm that ... Anyone care to post a clip of the Fia Karin version ? ... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I dont know where to start,flexi-disc etc;i know purple hearts should be about £50 and is northern soul,but this wouldnt be in the same box and you might laugh at me..........

Not that it really matters, but the Purple Hearts 45 is easily £100+ (in-demand by garage rock / freakbeat collectors as well). I wouldn't mind keeping the Ola & The Janglers in my collection, but as I said, if you want to have it make me an offer in cash or trades and I'll think about it.

Jim G Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) cool version, nice one. just a brilliant song I think. Was the '5 and a penny' version tailor made for the northern soul market? No, it was just a standard release on Polydor in the UK in 1968 years before it was played at Wigan.

Pete S Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I had a bit of contact with the singer from Five & A Penny a few years back. She probably read a review I did of their record and wanted to ask me why I thought it was "utter shite" I think she said they were still performing etc etc...can't remember now Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
