sircharles Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Hi Id like to know if this can be got on record as I heard it was unreleased. Thanks, GRaham
Dave Pinch Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 yes it was done as a white label about 5 years ago. i stuck a motown label on mine might be persuaded to let it go dave
Guest duncanm Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 got a copy to sell myself too,after dave's sold his own ,if anyone's interested in ..
Guest Brett F Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Got this, is it Diana Ross or Florence Ballard, always thought it was Ross (but not sure) any help. By the way i know there are a few takes on this but my favourite is O.C. Smith on Columbia LP. Brett
Jellybean Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 What LP did it come out on please? I'd rather have the real deal!!!
Guest Brett F Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) What LP did it come out on please? I'd rather have the real deal!!! It was unreleased (Supremes version) just got put on a white label (vinyl carver), not sure who cut them. Not even certain if it is on a Motown compilation CD ? Edited January 11, 2009 by Brett F
Guest Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 It was unreleased (Supremes version) just got put on a white label (vinyl carver), not sure who cut them. Not even certain if it is on a Motown compilation CD ? Motown CD full of other unissued supremes,i have it somewhere.......so not a compilation.
Dave Rimmer Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 It was unreleased (Supremes version) just got put on a white label (vinyl carver), not sure who cut them. Not even certain if it is on a Motown compilation CD ? Yes it did Brett, 'Supremes Sing The Show Tunes' or something similar, US CD
pikeys dog Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 CD release from the late 90s or early noughties... No vinyl issue other than the white label boot
Jellybean Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 CD release from the late 90s or early noughties... No vinyl issue other than the white label boot Well i can forget that one then!!! Only OVO will do it for me!!!
Donkit Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Hi Id like to know if this can be got on record as I heard it was unreleased. Thanks, GRaham CLASSICS IV do a decent version and there's a real laid back verson by Billy Eckstine Don
Supercorsa Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 What LP did it come out on please? I'd rather have the real deal!!! It was released on this CD alongside a lesser known track by Frank Wilson. As for the Classics IV, weren't theirs the original version?
Sjclement Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 It was released on this CD alongside a lesser known track by Frank Wilson. As for the Classics IV, weren't theirs the original version? You might like to try Georgie Fames version or John Legends sample
Guest Brett F Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 there is a version by Betty Lavette on TCA, but i don't think it's that hot
Dave Pinch Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 classics 4 orig version.written by the band reached no 8 on charts in usa in late 1968 rarer than timi yuro on britiish liberty but then theres that little obstacle of demand dave
Russ Vickers Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 This was originally played years ago by Terry Jones at the Norfolk Village, at the time Im pretty certain it was only available on a dodgy Belgium comp. I heard it & got the details off TJ, but was unable to source the CD, this was pre ebay remember. Eventually I found the CD through Pete Lowrie & cut several acetates which were placed with prominent DJ's, the rest as they say is history. One of the tunes that was huge at the Abshott Soul Nights for me, & at its peak it was pressed up as a white label. I'm pretty sure its Diana Ross on lead vocal, Im not normally a fan of Ms Ross's vocal ability, but this is one of her finest cuts IMO. Russ
Guest Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) stormy This is nice Edited January 11, 2009 by ken
Guest Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 stormy Classic V & John Legend This is nice Can someone post this up propper,me machine wont do it? and it is good.
sircharles Posted January 12, 2009 Author Posted January 12, 2009 I do like the Betty Lavette version. Amazing what good songwriters can come up with. All different versions. All very good.
Reg Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Great record, it's Diana on lead. I've got the white label, in the absence of any alternative I don't see a problem as it's a fantastic track But wouldn't it be great if Motown brought out a lovely vinyl LP to include the great unissued stuff like this ......seeing it's 50th anniversary year and all that Like a unissued version of Big Wheels of Motown ... I can remember carrying it home on the bus not being able to wait to play it! Richard's cds were good but it would be nice to get the tracks on a nice big shiny LP
Guest pauldicko Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 ANYONE GOT A COPY OF BOOT WITH "DONT LET TRUE LOVE DIE" FROM THIS ALBUM ON THE OTHER SIDE ?
Guest Trevski Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 I'm rather partial to the Bobby Gentry version meself....
Guest Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) ANYONE GOT A COPY OF BOOT WITH "DONT LET TRUE LOVE DIE" FROM THIS ALBUM ON THE OTHER SIDE ? You can buy this of me,and carver it as many time as you want and 27 others. Edited January 12, 2009 by ken
Guest Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) Jessie Davies did a nice version of this tune too ! Jazzy ........laid back lounge music.... etc but nice on a compilaion when you are decorating the front room ! IMO of course Edited January 13, 2009 by mossy
Guest pauldicko Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 You can buy this of me,and carver it as many time as you want and 27 others. PM'D YOU MATE
Carol Phyllis Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 No You must admit, it does sound like Des O'connor
Guest Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 You must admit, it does sound like Des O'connor [/quot No .............
Daved Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I first heard it at the 100 Club around 1997 when Pete Lowrie was on. He announced it as being by Diana Ross. I think it's a wonderful record.
