Guest Little Anthony Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 OK so it's not really a soul record, but it was massive in the late 70's and eventually pressed. The pressing is, however, different to the original version played on the scene (The pressing has louder drums on the intro. - Listen to it live at Notts Palais on www.hinckleysoulclub.org.uk). Anyone got an original or know if it is available Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sunnysoul Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) To the best of my knowledge Bobby Goldsboro's "Too Many People" was never released in either 7" or EP form in Australia ??? I stand to be corrected though if someone can show otherwise. Of his various Aussie EP's, the only two northern tracks of his that are appear are "Its Too Late" & "She Chased Me". As for the femme version of Too Many People, I guess you mean Dinah Lee's version ? Ermm, yes, it stomps like mad !

That EP is a bootleg that appeared in 1977 Wasn't sure about the French one which is why I said "I assume". Was basing it on same photo shoot for pic sleeve as the Italian one which is definitely the 'right' version. Ta for info on boot though. Incidentally, if in doubt check the arranger credits. Charles Blackwell for the 'right' version and Bill Justis for the 'wrong' one. Maybe about time we started referring to the 'Blackwell' version?

Benji Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Some of the European pic sleeve issues are the 'wrong' version though. Really? Must check at home, got the UK issue and the german one. Never really compared them as "too many people" is not really a fave of mine. But they have different flipsides as well so might be two different versions too...

Benji Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 You mean the "Justis" arrangement, Benji Actually it's not going to stick is it...? yes the "Justis" arrangement Funny thing is, I bought the UK issue as part of a collection two years ago. I never actually played it assuming it would be the same version as the german issue. A friend of mine used to play it off the german issue for years and I never really liked. Last night I played the UK issue for the first time since I bought it. It didn't really blow me away but I can understand its Northern appeal now, nice record.

Technically speaking that is maybe worth mentioning that these aren't different mixes they are different recordings (to my ears at least). The Blackwell take has strings in the backing during the intro and an all around fuller arrangement. the Justis take sounds "emptier" Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Rick Scott Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Very interesting thread, and made me think back more years than i would like to admit too, being an old fart, used to play this in my my youth club days mixing pop and soul as Bobby Golsboro was classed as pop in them days, northern soul term had not been invented at that time (should have stayed that way realy as hate music being pigeon holed) it hasn't done the music any favours over the years, caused more arguments and splits but of course that's another story. The copy i have is the original UK Demo, can't remember how i came accross it, could have been one of my local record shops called "Rushtons Records" in Scunthorpe which for some reason used to get loads of Promotional/Demo 7" singles (had a few Promo albums too) which a certain young lady in the shop used to keep for me (that's all you need to know on that subject lol) Anyway over the years i played it in my Northern soul spots at niters/dayers/soul nites etc and was always a floor packer, the thing the thread brought back to me was on a regular dee jaying visit to the K.G.B. I played the B G single and after playing it placed it on a pile of records that i'd already played, cued up my next single tured round to put played records back in box, Bobby Goldsboro had vanished off the top of the pile, just that one single, nothing else, i was quite annoyed at the time (as you would be) and the late Nev Wherry asked me what was wrong, i told him what had happened and he said, "Don't worry Rick, i will get it back for you, of course i thought no way will i see this record again, having had records stolen in the past, but true to his word the next time i was at the KGB he handed me my record, he would not tell me who had "lifted" it but i was just thankful to get it returned, it has over the years turned out to be a hard UK single to find, and far better than the re issued alternative take that got issued due to the Northern Soul demand, so there you go, a little bit of my history that this thread brought back to me, now i wonder who it was that lifted said record and the detective work that Nev did to return it to me still ammazes me to this day, Nev was a Top Man, and had a UK soul collection to die for (99% promos) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
