Guest stash313 Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 What do you lot prefer, the 70's re-cut or the original?
Guest Trevski Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 (edited) 70's cut, with it's faster pace is better IMHO. With the 60's copies being beyond the wallet and availability of most collectors, the 70's copies are worth it, and becoming scarce. £124 not a lot of money, when you consider how many come up for sale these days, and it's condition. Not listed on popsike, unlike the Midas release, lots of them floating about atm! JM lists the 70's copy, didn't know its 'originality' was in question? Edited December 1, 2007 by Trevski
Pete S Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 The 70's version is fantastic, there's not a lot of difference anyway, but it ain't worth more than £15! At the end of the day it's a reissue and was/is available in the same quantities as any other 70's pressing.

If it was identical, then yes, reissue, but as its reworked, it's not strictly a reissue IMHO.

JM lists the 70's copy, didn't know its 'originality' was in question? hi TREVSKI,the question arose on here around ,should it be played as the original version is so rare ,and in effect is it like playing a 2nd issue?.Not a big issue for me(no pun intended). Personally i play it cos ,1)i'll never get the 60's cut and, 2) like it better,and 3) its the version i remember from my youth.

If it was identical, then yes, reissue, but as its reworked, it's not strictly a reissue IMHO. You know what I mean though. It was released due to Northern demand and because they couldn't find the tapes of the 1st version, it's not like it was issued as a new release in 77 with the charts in mind.
Pete S Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Tailor Made! Indeed! But to be honest, it was literally years later that I realised that the version on pink Breakthrough was not the one I'd heard at Wigan!
Garethx Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 It's not strictly speaking a tailor made, is it? This version was cut at the same time as the rare Breakthrough release. Producer Joey Jefferson cut at least three versions with different lead vocalists from the group. The rare version has Johnny Hendley on lead. When he was approached to re-issue the track he used the Charles Diamond version as he considered it to be the best. In my opinion it simply is the best version and knocks spots off the Johnny Hendley cut, vocally and instrumentally.

I had no idea about this, first time I've ever heard this story...thought it was the same vocalist. Amazing but obviously credible as Hendley was Diamond's best pal, according to the latters wife. Anyway, I prefer the "77" version..

Btw, the instrumental on the flip has been beefed up with some terrific piano work. Sounds great! Edited December 1, 2007 by Soul-Slider
