If you're talking about the backing track, allow the ladies and gentlemen of the RareSoulForum.co.uk (from 2003) to answer that old chestnut for you:

Frankie & Classicals - What shall I do - Calla 127

1. strings & guitar intro / added strings - b/w I Only Have Eyes For You #127

2. strings + spoken intro / added strings - b/w I Only Have Eyes For You #127

3. no intro / added strings - b/w Good-bye Love (Sailor's sadness) #127BN

Frankie & Classicals - What shall I do - Philips UK & Pye UK

no intros on either / added strings

Laura Greene - Moonlight music & you/Love Is Strange - RCA 9164

(US & UK reissue: orange & grey copies)

4. spoken intro + guitar + harpsichord / added harpsichord

Honey Townsend - The World again/Technicolour Dream - Mala 540

5. intro + strings / added strings

Subway Riders - After the session/Adam - Moon Shot 6706 (2 issues)

6. intro + organ instead of a harpsichord / added organ - with NYC address on

label.

2nd issue = different tune + same title - no address on label.

Mark Johnson - This beautiful place/Ode To Otis Redding - Diamond 237

7. no intro / strings + animal effects

The Burning Emotions - The new World/The Whatchama Call It - Bang 553

8. intro + strings & animal effects throughout

Note: A.B.C. copies are a different tune.

The Essex - Moonlight Music & You/The Eagle - Bang 537

9. spoken intro + strings / added strings

AND a lyric change........... "Oh, by the way did you bring your radio", unlike Laura's (first name terms by now) "Oh, by he way, did you bring your guitar",

:lol:

Subway Riders came out twice Harry, one of them plays the Moonlight & Music inst but the other plays basically a backing track with people talking over it, I haven't heard it in years but it might have been from a Betty Lavette single

Just out of intrest was there a more used backing track on the northern scene? :thumbsup:

Not to my knowledge. I spoke to Teddy a couple of years back and he laughed when I mentioned all the versions to him. He said "you British guys know more then any of the record companies I kept selling the track to!".

When you consider how many times he sold it to different companies and the fact that Laura Greene was used on the Kentucky Fried Chicken ad, he must have ended up making a bundle from a record which never became a hit no matter how many versions were slung at the wall.

That Subway Riders version was RARE!

:lol:

I'm familiar with no. 2 and 3 , as most of us are ...

Can't say I've heard of a third variation with strings and guitar intro (no speaking ??)

anyone got a sound clip of this ??

Also, wasn't there a track using this backing track by the Globetrotters / RCA

Seem to remember talk on here last year about this - possibly unissued RCA acetate

Again, any sound clip or confirmation this really exists?

Cheers
