spot on chalky...defo not the best version IMHO the best one is the jackey beavers show...just georgeous

Currently out of stock but our data shows we've sold 4 copies over the last 6 years for £250 each...I personally like it. Sorta elusive, but not that rare.

Thanks everybody for the info, I must have just not noticed it before if it comes up for sale ocassionally. Anyone have a sound clip? Also (I know this sounds like a stupid question to most people here), if no one has a sound clip, can anyone tell me if there's a backing group singing behind Karen and if it's male or female? Thanks.

Posted the soundfile in the media source section Boba. Female backing and it's bloody awful backing at that. Karen's vocals not too bad but the backing just ruin the record!!! (IMHO).

Agree with Phil, JAckey Beavers show probably the best version.

Yes, I have a copy, it's a sort of get under your skin 45 but can't make your mind on, one minute you love it then the next, you're not too sure.

Yes, I feel the same about it too - it's one of those that when played out always gets someone coming up asking who's version it is?.................cos it's such a great song I think all 4 versions each have their merits!

Continental Showstoppers my favourite version on Seventy 7 .

If Sean Chapman Fancy's starting a new topic, how about records I regret selling

Well I was told the way to a DJ's heart is via a sales box

It is ONE of the ways! . To keep this on topic, value aside I honestly think the Cont Showstoppers version is the best one by a country mile. Were it as rare, it would be another J.Webster or Hamilton Movement. A fantastic arrangement and a 'grab yer throat' tempo that is just breathtaking (IMO) and just so good to dance to. Composer, Jackey Beavers' own version is good but even this is overshadowed by the Cont. Showstoppers.

Tip for anyone looking. It was released as the B Side to Jackey's cut for Mainstream "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby". HOWEVER!!! The white demos are 'double sided' and DO NOT have 'Not Too Young' on the flip. I know cos I bought one.

OK, it was only $10 but it might save someone the same frustration if you didn't already know.

Both Karen Striblin and The Camaros (Dar-Cha) are nice records but were obviously aimed in different directions. Nig Mayfield has a copy of The Camaros and it always sounds peachy when played out, I love it but the C.S cut edges it for me.

Hmmmm - you know sometimes mate you type sommat and then read what you typed? Oh Well - you would never expect more from me eh?

Oh, and the record I played when I came out with that gem was Soul Communicators - Those Lonely Nights. Just for the record!

Nice reminder of what was probably my crappest ever link between tunes matey!!!!

Camaros for me! Apart from the fact that I just love girlie mid-tempo, they actually sound young, and when the song is about someone being told they are too young to fall in love, then the Camaros fit the bill. Continetal ss and jackey beavers show sound too old to be singing a song like that!

Interesting way of looking at it Trevski and can't argue with your reasoning really. BUT!!! Re: Continental SS. I'm TOO OLD to be trying to dance to a record like that !!!

Nice one.
