John Benson Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I did know but forgot, just what CD this track was originally from? Wasn't it some sort of Motown acappella album? Can someone remind me please... great track by the way!!

De-to Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 It's off a karaoke cd that was sold via Walmart only I thinkpete,have you a cat/number and title for this cd,
Pete S Posted October 27, 2008 Author Posted October 27, 2008 pete,have you a cat/number and title for this cd, No I have a feeling they were withdrawn but if anyone wants them they can always PM me, there's over 100 backing tracks too of course
John Benson Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Pete, Are you saying that you don't actually have this CD, just a copy? Is that why you don'y have any title details etc?
Pete S Posted October 27, 2008 Author Posted October 27, 2008 Pete, Are you saying that you don't actually have this CD, just a copy? Is that why you don'y have any title details etc? No I've got them, I just don't like putting full details of Motown stuff on here after they got all my youtube stuff removed

Pete S Posted October 27, 2008 Author Posted October 27, 2008 Pete, Are you saying that you don't actually have this CD, just a copy? Is that why you don'y have any title details etc? Don't quite understand this question John. What difference does it make?
John Benson Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Don't quite understand this question John. What difference does it make? No difference at all Pete, I just wondered if you were avoiding the question. But your earlier answer - after my comment was a good enough explanation for me. I hope it didn't upset you?
Pete S Posted October 27, 2008 Author Posted October 27, 2008 No difference at all Pete, I just wondered if you were avoiding the question. But your earlier answer - after my comment was a good enough explanation for me. I hope it didn't upset you? Well I hadn't seen the first question and I replied to yours, and now I've gone back and replied to the first one. Didn't upset me, just thought it was an odd comment.
Missing Link Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Awesome soundclip. Remember seeing the Tops in the late 70s in Bournemouth and they did an absolutely brilliant accapella song as part of their set. Sadly the decaying brain cells have removed which one it was from my memory!
John Benson Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Pete, One other thing - the link you posted, is it the actual CD with the track on - or just showing the series it's part of? If the latter, can you name the volume the track is on? Cheers

If the latter, can you name the volume the track is on? Cheers That's just part of the series. This is the one featuring Ask The Lonely https://www.amazon.com/Motown-Original-Arti.../ref=pd_sim_m_7

Richard Bayley Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Awesome vocal - many thanks for posting, Pete!
Guest Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Wow what with that and the Aretha clip youve made a grown man cry. What a loss. Thanks Pete Ian
Guest mel brat Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 (edited) "Ask The Lonely" was always my absolute favourite Tops recording and holds significant memories for me(!) Unfortunately the group rarely included it in their live act (only on one occasion at any of the shows I saw). An absolutely chilling song full of the poignancy of lost love and a fitting monument to the late Levi Stubbs. This is what we've lost. Edited October 27, 2008 by mel brat
Guest mickeyb Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Thanks for the post Pete. As everyone has said it's wonderful. Wish you'd have a rethink with Modern though. Like every genre, a lot of it may be shyte, but there are some gems there. One man's Joe Gibbs is another man's Althea and Donna.
MikeHinNewJersey Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Walmart still has them in stock.....only $9.72 https://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=2583971

Pete S Posted October 28, 2008 Author Posted October 28, 2008 was put on youtube last week i put the link up to it last week in the levi tribute https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OAvuieTTOVY yours is better quality though pete Sorry mate I had no idea anyone had ever posted it anywhere - I was going through a back ups folder and found all of the a capellas, I flogged the originals a few years ago and just kept all the insts and vocals on the pc. It was the first time I think I've ever listened to it.
MikeHinNewJersey Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 mike,thats ok if you live in the usa they will not mail to the uk, Sorry didn't realise that, try amazon.co.uk...a bit expensive though https://www.amazon.co.uk/Original-Artist-Ka...2433&sr=1-4 Alternatively won't amazon.com ship to the UK.....I've bought stuff from amazon UK and had it shipped here
Guest Byrney Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) This is just stunning Blimey. Stunning it certainly is. Edited October 28, 2008 by Byrney
Prophonics 2029 Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 It is awesome but its only the vocal without the backing track and not a special take IMO just shows you the quality they had before it was pressed up on dodgy discs.
Guest Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 It's off a karaoke cd that was sold via Walmart only I think Really nice to hear that !! Prepare for the black suits to be knockin on your door very soon ! Do you have the rest of the 8 track ? Re- mix with hammond ???

Guest 2648 W Grand Boulevard Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 For once words fail me. Thanx for posting up the soundclip, still brought a tear to my eye. Dave
