Guest Modern Skiptone Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Windy City - Hey Its Over/If By Chance (Innovation II) or (Warner Brothers) Having purchased this record many years ago on Innovation and loved it, I never thought I would see/hear the day, when this record would later take off. I was always of the understanding that this was played during the famous last hour Mecca sessions??? Is there any difference between the Warner Bros sound and Innovation sound. As I am going off the JM's site WB soundclip and do not have my Innovation copy or a record play to hand at present. Which one is the first or the original recording, as I have tried to scan the JM Warner Bros copy for a date/year/information ...... but I am now forbidden from doing this . Anyone shed any light on this - please JM, Sean H, Epic, Ian Dewhirst, Steve Plumb and others etc etc. Thanks Nick. . Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

His brother was lead of the stony island band. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sean Hampsey Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hi Nick, To my knowledge they're identical mate. The WB issue tends to be the rarer of the two. My copy says INNERVISION rather than INNOVATION - I think they all do actually - but most people list it (and seem to read it) as the latter! Lovely tune!

Sean Hi White Knight of Skiptone Top track finally getting the recognition it deserves! aye we did discuss this on the IL thread...................innervision/innovation/wb/quadrophonics/wales wallace/windy city etc think they are the same but we couldn't decide which came first? I'd have thought Inn II followed by WB but i'm not 100% Poserman - I'm sure my copy is the correct spelling of Innovation BUT will need to check? t'other one on Inn II by them is great too! What a great label Cheers Steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sean Hampsey Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Poserman - I'm sure my copy is the correct spelling of Innovation BUT will need to check? Cheers Steve Yes, please check Steve. Was up all night talking to Rob Hurcombe about this very issue, earlier this week. He 'thinks' his says Innovation but I reckon it's actually Innervision and that we all go word blind when faced with a full set of anything. Cheers matey!

Pat Wallace Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Just found a copy on WB 7804. 1974 release and a very nice tune indeed. Had been looking for quite a while and it poped up on a sales list, having seen the Manship auction price so far, I think it was a bargain price.

Sutty Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 the world has truly gone mad, this is a great record for certain, but over £100? it was a £20 record 2 months ago, and nobody was interested in buying it anyway! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Souljazera Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 20-30 quid tops on warners.....RINSE OUT AUCTION TIME mine says innovation or does it? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
John Benson Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 My copy is also on Innervision II Didn't we discuss this earlier on in the year on Soul Talk Steve? There's a few releases on the label which use 'Innervision' and others 'Innovation' - but without digging them out I can't remember which is which. Here's examples of both spellings: Also If I remember correctly, didn't you say there are some releases on both spellings... or am I just confusing it with the Warner Bros releases?

s7oul Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) On another tangent t'other side of 'Hey Its Over' = 'If By Chance' also came out on WC's '77 Chi Sound LP 'Let Me Ride'. I presume this is a different version to the 45's being a few years later ? Cheers Pat Incidentally on this LP are 2 great versions of Sam Dees songs - Good Guys Don't Always Win (also on Innovation + other versions) and Fool Or Your Man.

I just played the LP version and the 45 version and back to back and I'm not sure if they are different recordings or not. But the LP version is a way better mix. The 45 is mixed poorly and pressed at a very low volume because the track is so long. The 45 is actually longer than the LP version, though, almost 6 minutes.

Hi John Oops forgot about this thread and just returned - still haven't checked Innervision or Innovation yet! We did discuss it earlier but we spoke of the dual releases on WB & Inn II plus the releases that came out with two release #s on Inn II........then some clever Dick came along with this optical illusion Innervision/Innovation thing on the Windy City release......think i said i'd check then too!

Best: Pedantic Poser Man Yep, just pulled my copy out........and guess what.............'the clever Dick proof reading pedantic poser man' is fookin right (again!) Hats off fella Now all this talk of Inn II made me dig out the Voices article i did in 1990 i.e. Label listing with description of each track. There's a couple of small omissions (like 'Innervision' on above, Howeefeel on Contempo etc) that 'could' have been added originally BUT in the main it still stands up (imho ) and R & B indies concurs too I think it'll be worth scanning it in, making the small additions and starting a new thread on the whole label? Anyone up for that? Please let me know and i'll get it sorted in the next few days and we can discuss it until our anoraks fall off Cheers Steve Edited October 24, 2008 by Steve Plumb Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The Clever Dick Proof Reading Pedantic Poser Man Think Warner brothers should have sacked their proof reader for the first release methinks Anyone found any other releases other than the first one (Windy City) with Innervision on the logo or have we agreed that it's just on this release?
