Sweeney Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 wasnt sure i know its an lp track someone told me that it actually wasnt issued 45 so what the compass 45 is i dont know I'm positive that the Compass 45 is a legitimate first US issue.

Martyn Pitt Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 wasnt sure i know its an lp track someone told me that it actually wasnt issued 45 so what the compass 45 is i dont know That would be their version of 'Love Slipped Through My Fingers' LP only, never issued on a single. 'You dont mean it' on Compass is legit, fairly sure that they played the backing to Towanda Barnes version on A&M Martyn Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Their version of 'Love Slipped Through My Fingers' is nice, but the quality of the recording is not too good. Play it without fear Martyn Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Martyn Pitt Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Oh Yes it was on a compass test press- Some on here has my old copy from the 70s Oh no it wasnt (panto season sorry Earnie) So was it an acetate, and what was the sound quality like ? Reason I ask about the quality is I always remember the LP (or even CD version?) sounded pretty poor. Martyn Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ian Dewhirst Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I can remember this being on the Global wholesale list @ 75p a copy in the early 70's, so there's loads of 'em out there somewhere.......... And why are the horns so off-key on the Towanda Barnes version? Must have been a quickie session or something...... Ian D Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
