Are 2 totally different recordings and the LP sounds like a Pied Piper production in a lot of way, particularly the girly backing vocals. It's far superior to the 45.

They certainly are different recordings Ady and different lengths as well. Is the A-Bet reissue of the album identical to the original release on Money. I note that the publishing company must have been taken over by Jobete by 1972.

Totally different, even different keys, and I equally like both versions. Each has a different feel.

Muchas Gracias Amigo. :thumbsup:

7 Boxes later,found........give us a few mins i'll bang it up for you.....i hate lookin' in lp boxes,cant just look without pickin' out some to play :g: what a mess.

Mp3 are not allowed :g:

I forgot about that, Ken, but they're only 96 kb/s quality.

And they sound better because they're not allowed. Like forbidden fruit.

Go on, have a listen ...nobody's looking.

:thumbsup:

Just dug out the Money copy and listened to them both. Can't hear no Pied Piper 'sound' Ady. Think I prefer the original version especially with that majestic/fanfare intro. I'd never heard the LP version before so thanks guys. :thumbsup:

As I said, I like both but the 45 version has a nice simplicity to it. Calm and confident.

Think i have this on A-bet 45,never listened to it. unsure.gif

Nice cover shot, Ken. I'm trying to zoom in on the price sticker. Does it really say 35p? And does that include postage? :thumbup:

Just bought the ABET DEMO.

Noticed that my other copy has JUKE BOX Above the Number, R & B Underneath?

Other Copies about without this on the Label, now wondering why they needed to specify.
