One of thsoe stranger sounds that is worth more on release than demo. A side is 'Tell Me Why'/ B side is 'Funk' and is collected by funk fans in US and Japan. So A and B side both collectable.

Steve Plumb Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Is on Reprise Records and books at £200 for issue copy played at Wigan in early 70s. One of thsoe stranger sounds that is worth more on release than demo. A side is 'Tell Me Why'/ B side is 'Funk' and is collected by funk fans in US and Japan. So A and B side both collectable. I have a 'Mustard' Issue meself which is a very tasty alternative to the W/D but the B side isn't Funk.............from memory (not played it for yonks) it's a very disappointing mish-mash of a record that the Funk boys would probably laugh at! Apologies if I'm wrong on this as i said i hadn't played it for yonks! When i bought it i was SO hoping it'd be a brill 70's dancer, a brill deep cut or a brill Funk track BUT it was none of them! If it was a top B side it's be up there with the holy grail 45's imho cos it not easy to find at all! Still, looks great though Cheers Steve btw I also am one of the many with an Ex copy of the original W/D for sale Find it here www.soulmusic.co.uk/Northern_Originals_List.htm Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Bought an issue of it at the Ritz many many moons ago, paid about £4.00 for it and always regretted selling it Greatest string break ever!!!!!

bri pinch Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 b side of the original release is indeed that's life, also strange how the original issue states year of release as 1973 where as the original demo states 1974 if my memory serves me correctly. BRI PINCH. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
