Thanks in anticipation, Dean Vinyl and styrene both authentic, but if ya can, get the vinyl one coz the sound so much better. it a bit muffley on the plastic one, sounds so much better on vinyl steve
March 17, 200817 yr Author Thanks Steve, appreciate the reply. Not quite sure of some of the stuff purchased as a "youth", seems like everything was £1 - no doubt with change for fish-and-chips. Sometimes like to put htis into a spot and wanted to make sure. Dean.
March 17, 200817 yr Better still get the album (quite hard on Brown Door) - got a reissue on Concord. The track is completely different on the LP - lot crisper & longer in duration - in fact it sounds like a completely different take.

Have since got the vinyl copy and this plays louder and better fidelity. I don't think this is because one is styrene and the other vinyl, its something to do with the way they have been made.

March 17, 200817 yr I just never tire of this class record! Pretty amazing as probably heard it more times than the snake!! Hang on...what a bloody daft comaparison...think I'll shut up

Hi, Didnt know it was on styrene and vinyl listening to this mines definately on vinyl top seventies.I believe Richie Andrews from Landudno first took this to the Mecca Livene went ga! ga! when he heard it and put it on the decks straight away. Cheers. Sid
March 18, 200817 yr On another note, same artist; I've always liked the mix of sweet strings and funky riff of his track- Early Bird out on Salwa Records...also has Van Mcoy on the writing credits. Not one that would be known too much I guess, but hey you gotta spread your wings!!! Mal.C.

The (K)oncord re-issue LP version sounds like a re-take, but I've never heard the take from the original Brown Door LP either....so?? Still in my top ten Highland Room memories however. Cheers.

Neil Hi Neil, top record, never get tired of it. I have just mentioned Bob Cattaneo in your Graham Warr thread. From Daly City right, a trucker, he turned up the James Fountain also., i had a few, form William Bell. Hope your well mate, a long time since the miners strike you covered in Rotherham! All best ALAN
