Pete S Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 There's a reggae record that I absolutely love, one of the most soulful reggae vocals there is, by The Uniques entitles Out Of Love. What I didn't realise is that it's a cover of a Manhattans number called I'm the one that love forgot. I just wondered if anyone could put the whole Manhattans track up here because the minute long clip below is absolutely mind blowing, one of the most haunting tracks I've ever heard I think. The Manhattans is below and I'll put the link to The Uniques version below that one.
Barry Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Massive production job on The Manhattans version. Luvverly.

Barry Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I can't chose between the two Barry - both outstanding... I know exactly where you're coming from Pete - two sides of a coin, both belters.
Paul McKay Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I'll do it tonight Pete, unless someone beats me to it. Cheers Paul

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 The Pretenders version, with female lead, on Carnival is equally exquisite. Not much to choose between their, the Manhattans and the Uniques versions IMO. There's also a nice 1974 Johnnie Clarke record, "Baby Don't Go", that uses the Uniques original 1968 backing track.
Guest Beeks Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 All I can say Pete is WOW on both counts...can't decide between them for they both stand alone as outstanding records but If I was pushed i'd go for the Uniques version purely for the fact I love my reggae sounds... Top draw...nice one!!

Top draw...nice one!! The only problem with the Trojan 7" is that it cuts off about 15 seconds before the end, that doesn't sound like much but Slim does some great soul wailing on the fade out, I'll see if I've still got the longer version. Also, on some copies, the talking intro at the start is way clearer than on others. I have this on a Jamaican label, Tramp, full issue, but poor condition so I won't use that.

Baz Atkinson Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Great stuff completed the carnival logo in the early nineties and its my fav soul logo of all time only 57 or so releases all as equally good as each other imho,you have got me to play this again with different ears ,your right its bloody awesome.

michael-j Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) was sure i'd mentioned the Manhattans version on here before, because Out of Love has come up a few times. my copy of the Manhattans is on 'Boo', any one know that label, is it a boot or something? just picked it up a few years back for 50p when i saw the title and wondered if it was the same song as 'Out of Love'... ah, just looked on Manship and it's a repro, with Brothers of Soul on the other side Edited October 22, 2008 by michael-j
Pete S Posted October 24, 2008 Author Posted October 24, 2008 So this one isn't an original? I'm shocked!
