Has anyone got an MP3 of this version of PP Arnold ? Many thanks for any help .Gather she made some good Soul sides as well .Best wishes ,Eddie

Don't like this record and I'll tell you why, this happens with a lot of Jamaican records - if they can't understand the lyrics, they make them up, so on the chrous she is singing "when it comes to being lucky, people" instead of "when it comes to being lucky, she's first". Worst of these is Pied Piper by Rita Marley on which most of the lyrics are wrong.

Also this is one of those ridiculous Studio One disco 12" versions which sound like they've nailed 3 bits of a record together to make an extended version.

Honest? They sound like Jive Bunny put most of them together - things like I'm Not A King, it's as if they just taped two bits of a record together...I've got loads of these and I honestly don't know any which I prefer to an original 7".

I can post the norma frazer 7" up but it's scratched to f&ck

Here's a sound sample up on ebay (though it sounds the same as the one above)

YES HONEST! I DO HOWEVER ADMIT THE MIXES ARE A BIT SLAPPED TOGETHER AT TIMES AND MANY HAVE LATER OVER DUBS AND EFFECTS BUT 10" AND 12S WERE VERY POPULAR AT THE TIME! AND GO FOR BIG MONEY ON E BAY
