Soul-slider Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Thanks for that, he obviously loved the tune enough to re-cut it for this 1979 album. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Prophonics 2029 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I have an LP version just think its the longer single version but in stereo and not that other version but not the unissued version. If that makes sense. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Gogs Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Always thought the best version was on the "occasional rain" lp or am i wrong again? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Pinch Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) i thought it was 1972. even though terry wrote it i think jerry butler recorded it first. its on the 70s label design anyway. its three releases after the dells its all up to you. deffo 1972 dave Edited October 15, 2008 by dave pinch Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Jerry Hipkiss Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Always thought the best version was on the "occasional rain" lp or am i wrong again? Not to me you're not - maybe it's because it's the first version I knew, maybe it's because of the girl who introduced me to it in the first place... ...but yes. I think it's the superior one.

Garethx Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 The Cadet single and the Occasional Rain album are from 1972. The first released version is by Jerry Butler on the You & Me album from 1969. The Terry Callier 45 is virtually identical to the album version (the only difference is the slightly truncated piano solo on the 45, a difference of a few seconds). Callier later re-cut it in quite different style on the Elektra lp Turn You To Love in 1979. A Terry Callier version from September 1969 (around exactly the time of the Jerry Butler album's appearance) was released on the album First Light on Premonition Records in 1998. It's a radically different version, over six minutes long in a slower, more acoustic vein with a great electric piano mid-section. I don't have the facility to add sound files but someone else might be able to. It's well worth hearing. I've always wondered where the Cadet single was first played on the UK soul scene: as a new release or as a later 'revival' in the wake of the club success of the Elektra cut?

Peter99 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) Always thought the best version was on the "occasional rain" lp or am i wrong again? Is that a different album to the Elektra Turn you to Love - which has Occasional Rain on it? Oops - I've now read the above post.
