ajb Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 am i going mad , or does my cd player make songs sound different ...................... is there two versions of what is this?-bobby womack i have a version on a minit/stateside compalation album, and i've just heard another version on the northern soul sensations cd and its sounds very different. anyone shed any light on this? alan
Tony Smith Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 The first (best IMO) version 1966 released on Keymen records, re-recorded for Minit records in 1968.
ajb Posted April 14, 2007 Author Posted April 14, 2007 The first (best IMO) version 1966 released on Keymen records, re-recorded for Minit records in 1968. ya, i would agree...... they just seem to sound very different, although very similar alan
Steve L Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 The Minit version is completely different as I've just found out to my cost. Just bought one for a tenner and found its not the same record as on Keymen/Mirwood reissue. Whoops
mischief Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 If anyone wants one think Sean Chapman has a Keyman one in hes sales box
pow wow mik Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 they're totally different songs aren't they, not versions of the same song? I prefer the Minit one, but keyman one's nice.
pikeys dog Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 One of them came out on Uk Jay Boy... presumably the Mirwood/Keyman version
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 I prefer the Minit one, but keyman one's nice. Me too, Mik - and you also get the plus of the fantastic "What You Gonna Do" on the other side, a cracking southern dancer if ever there was one! (Same song as Margie Joseph on Volt for anyone who hasn't heard it). Jackie De Shannon also did a version of "What Is This" on Imperial that uses the same arrangement of the Womack Minit 45 - hardly surprising, really, as Womack produced it.
Guest melandthensome Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Had the Keyman 45 now for years and for me the buisness a good old Wheel spin......
Sebastian Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 The Minit recording is absolutely superb. The one on Keyman is one of my pet-hate soul tunes, I simply can't stand it.
Dylan Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 The Minit recording is absolutely superb. The one on Keyman is one of my pet-hate soul tunes, I simply can't stand it. yes totally different songs. ....... but sebastian the flip to keyman is terrific.
Sebastian Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 ....... but sebastian the flip to keyman is terrific. You're damn right about that!

Yep, both are great in their own way. Interesting thing with the Womack Keymen release , as with the The Fi Dels classic "Try A Little Harder" also on Keymen, the UK Jay Boy releases have far better and louder sound reproduction than the Keymen US originals !!!! I always play the Jay Boys issues out !!! Edited April 16, 2007 by sunnysoul
