pikeys dog Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Terrible Rock cover of an average 60s tune. Please step away from the record box.
Peter99 Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 I've always liked this. I have a copy somewhere. This was booted wasn't it - pretty sure mine is a boot. Out of curiosity what's the orignial of this worth. Peter
pikeys dog Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 ten bob if there's any justice in this world.

Wiganer1 Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Pete Was this rubbish ever booted? == yes it was pete...dull label and not good sound quality if i remember rightly.
Wiganer1 Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Outsider's is loads better !! Gene Pitny is better !! Jim Watsit truely awefull. === i love the outsiders - gr8 group..

Peter99 Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 == yes it was pete...dull label and not good sound quality if i remember rightly. Cheers mate. Yep - thought I had a copy of the boot. Like you say very poor sound quality.
Harry Crosby Posted October 5, 2008 Author Posted October 5, 2008 Utter rubbish, detested it then, detest it now don`t give di bullets to fire pete, ive had it all morning
Guest inspirations001 Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 i suppose it defined the time,still a great track tho imo.
Pete S Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 don`t give di bullets to fire pete, ive had it all morning I dunno, I really hated it when it was being played, always got me off the dancefloor, as far as I'm concerned it's a heavy rock record and it really does sound like it's cover up artist - Bob Seger
Pete S Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Was just thinking, a few years ago he (Jim Messina) contacted me and said he had something very special from that period that he wanted me to hear, he never did send whatever it was
Wiganer1 Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 i suppose it defined the time,still a great track tho imo. === absolutely in agreement..
Harry Crosby Posted October 5, 2008 Author Posted October 5, 2008 I dunno, I really hated it when it was being played, always got me off the dancefloor, as far as I'm concerned it's a heavy rock record and it really does sound like it's cover up artist - Bob Seger can see your point pete, suppose it was a time and place thing, funny how many people ive talked to who disliked john leech, then after the jc messina one came the lamont cranston band, do we thik richard was a secret rock fan
Pete S Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 can see your point pete, suppose it was a time and place thing, funny how many people ive talked to who disliked john leech, then after the jc messina one came the lamont cranston band, do we thik richard was a secret rock fan I never liked John Leach either, in fact I think I only ever knew one person who did like it at the time!
Peter99 Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 I never liked John Leach either, in fact I think I only ever knew one person who did like it at the time! Agree on this one Pete - it was shite.

Did four boss LP's,had em' all at one time or other !!.........lookin' for the Outsiders"in" LP anybody? cheap would be good!!and stone mint even better.
Guest Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 I think it sounds like a cross between The Who and R.E.O speedwagon love the outsiders version though its the tops and Lonely man , what a stomper
Davetay Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Did four boss LP's,had em' all at one time or other !!.........lookin' for the Outsiders"in" LP anybody? cheap would be good!!and stone mint even better. I,ve got the Outsiders LP it,s not mint, if you still want it PM me a offer.

What outsiders LP ?...........tenner i s'pose its not mint !! i have a outsiders LP dont want loads of the same LP,can you do us a track listing please........i mean they did four LPs.ta !!Ken
Keithw Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 to me absolute garbage sounds like a white guy,tryin to be soulful and failing no soulful content,the worse type of record from the Wigan era
Guest Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 For a few years now ive been picking things up that remind me of my youth, anyway friday i picked up a copy of JC MESSINA-TIME WON`T LET ME-TOM KING, fond memories of this when richard had it covered as bob seger, so i played it to diane this morning who said it sounded like the who whats your thoughts i like it anyway Can anyone post a clip up.... I dont know it but am very curious... Ta Jayne.x

An example of a record that's rare because ...........it didn't sell.......... ............because it's awful
Harry Crosby Posted October 6, 2008 Author Posted October 6, 2008 Think your wife is right. An example of a record that's rare because ...........it didn't sell.......... ............because it's awful well she`s right all the rest of the time so why not now
Guest Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Thank you!. yeh, it's pants.. LOL.. well, its ok for a 70's pop record. (if that's what it is?) I know what Di's getting at. It's a bit like pinball wizard meets early whitesnake for me. A deffo rock vocal singing a pop song with a bit of soulful brass in the background... Jayne.x
pikeys dog Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Just as bad as I remembered it. Somebody please pour boiling wax down my lug'oles - it would be more pleasant.
Guest Gogs Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 i have both j.c. messina and outsiders versions (ovo) and i love them both
Cheapsiderecords Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Oh my good god!!! Who first listened to that and thought "that will go down well" That is truly awful
grant Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Agree on this one Pete - it was shite. john leach - brilliant j c messina - brilliant outsiders - we aint gonna make it - brilliant all quality dancers
Harry Crosby Posted October 10, 2008 Author Posted October 10, 2008 Oh my good god!!! Who first listened to that and thought "that will go down well" That is truly awful ERR! RICHARD SEARLING, circa 77/78 covered as bob segers heavy music, despite comments it was a monster in its time, as i said earlier a time and place thing i think
