22ndsoul Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I think that (Send me a sign) would be my choice as best track. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
macca Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 think we had a debate a while back on the merits of such misery vs woman lover thief, didn't we? I love both versions. incidentally, is the drew original of SM rare these days? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Platters 81 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 ive got an acetate of "instant heartbreak" which is a good 5rpm slower than the released version (dream girl is the same as released)..i wonder if thats how it was recorded....and it was speeded up for the Drew issue......

Sunnysoul Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Great Jerry "Swamp Dogg" Williams produced dancer "New York City" on Atco , must have been recorded by the Precisions 'bout 68 or 69 after the Drew label folded. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 What Would You Do on Wild. Loll Surely not the "same" Precisions. This group on Wild were a Boston band, f I remember correc tly. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Steve G Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Surely not the "same" Precisions. This group on Wild were a Boston band, f I remember correc tly. Different group entirely. For me it's between "If this is love" for it's sheer energy and "Such Misery". "Sugar ain't sweet" just doesn't do it for me. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 ..."Such Misery". Such brilliance.... I don't know if the Atco lot is the same Precisions but if they are, I also really like an unissued track from their Atco session, "I Kissed Her Face" (also recorded by its composer, Swamp Dogg...) and not just because it's unissued and therefore unknown to most people. It's a ballad, BTW... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Most of the Detroit Precisions is top notch, especially What I want!! Of the other Precisions the group on Hen Mar - My Sense Of Direction is fantastic!!!! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
