Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Anyone rates it? Just bought it in a shop in Milan.. ...Been one of my favourite records for 39 years, il mio amico. Also much beloved by fans of Island Soul and Low Rider Soul. You also need to get copies of Brenton's "Two Time Loser" and "Can You Dig It" - both very similar and both not very expensive!

billysbag Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 "im the one who knows" album track .beautiful tune. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 For slowie fans, "I Like The Way You Love Me" and "Me And You" are almost impossible to beat... Should also mention "I Think You Got Your Fools Mixed Up", on the other side of "Gimme Little Sign". Another stone classic that, I'm willing to bet, a lot of people will have never bothered checking out because it was on the flipside of a hit (and a great one at that)...

John Benson Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Agreed, Mr Wood certainly put out some nice tunes Another nice one from the same period is "Come here girl" Not forgetting his Cream period is a nice one called "You're everything I need" - the same song as done by Major Lance no less. Oh, and don't forget "Better believe it" on Warner Bros, which is quite nice too! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) Mmmm. Time for a proper Brenton Wood anthology.......? Ian D There's already been such a thing - a 2CD set, on Original Sound, compiled and annotated by my pal (and Ace colleague) Alec Palao. Doesn't have the Cream/Midget/Mr. Wood/WB stuff, but it does have every single one of his Wand/Brent/Double Shot/Whiz sides... ...and it's absolutely wonderful, of course. came out a couple of years ago, still available via Amazon etc....

Brenton Wood is just one of those artists that when see one of his records for sale you just buy it !

Ernie Andrews Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I think Its Brook Benson Sings album that does a version of major lances "Your everything that I need" Or Maybe major lance covered Brook Benton - Im not sure Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sean Hampsey Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Sean I dont understand your quote re the Leeds Record fair guy - Explain please Maybe you had to be there! Steve Luigi ran into a guy at a Record Fair over the weekend that told him that Millie Small of "My Boy Lollipop" fame was the same person as Millie Jackson of "My Man Is A Sweet Man" fame. I quipped that the same guy had told me that Marvin Gaye was also known as Marvin Smith, that Otis Redding was also known as Otis Clay... and that Donny Hathaway was previously known as Donny Osmond. Any road up... Brook Benton and Brenton Wood are not the same person. People seem to confuse the two for some reason. A bit like someone asking you if you're the same Ernie Andrews who did "This Is Your Life" Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mmmmm, wonder if Brook Wood and Chuck Wood are the same person? Sean ...Or maybe Brooke Benton and Brooke Shields are the same person? Brook Benton (allegedly) died at about the same time as Brooke Shields started her career. Perhaps he didn't die but instead underwent a sex change and a skin bleaching? Brooke Shields is pretty tall for a girl, so you never know... You also never see Brooke Shields and the excellent, tall (and rotund) Geordie actor Mark Benton in the same show, so perhaps he's BrookShieldsMark Benton, too... Also it's well documented that Chuck Wood and Natalie Wood were the same person - although they're 'both' dead so getting confirmation is probably going to be tough...

Anoraks Corner Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Mr.Wood seems to have been popular over here in Japan too...on checking the shelves I have five 7" and an LP all of his Double Shot recordings on Japanese presses...the LP features a few corking tracks that (sadly) never came out on 45's.

Garage fans might like to note that Brenton's version of "Psychotic Reaction" (or, as my Italian 45 - there was no US equivalent - tells it "Reazione Psicopatico") has the same backing track as the Count Five's classic version (albeit with an organ overdub). Brenton seems to have been a bigger seller almost everywhere in the world than he was in the UK - I've also got Japanese pic sleeve, Spanish pic sleeve, Italian pic sleeve and Jamaican non-pic sleeve 45s. He's still performing and still packing them in by the thousands in East L.A. If the CD he released a few years back is anything to go by, he's still in good voice, too. Be very nice if someone could persuade him to make a 40th anniversary trip to the UK... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Anoraks Corner Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Sorry, should've added the two tracks that I really like/rate are, 'Take a chance' and 'Come home girl'...quality midtempo tunes. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
