Epic

Anybody got an mp3 of this to send me?

Thanks

Marilyn Grimes was issued in uk and us simultaneously.

Ooo Sweet Love on Abraxas label 76 / 77 period.

Production by Donn Marier for Boogie Man productions.

Catalogue no ; 1702 , mine' s a white promo american 45.

Nice mid tempo tune that never really gained mass acceptance.

Got a few spins at The Mecca - quite like it myself - but does have a quite pop/disco aspect to it.

Quite simply the finest record ever played on the Northern Soul scene.

so the general consensus is - neither version is available on a 7", i dont do 12" or albums, for fear of divorce.

well satan pi**es on my bonfire yet again.....

If you read the thread carefully you will see that the Coke Escovedo is available on a 7" - albeit on a re-issue.

Available for £4.99 off Juno

Looks like your bonfire is still flickering.

Now this we NEED to hear ! Was very happy to pick up the recent "Unique' 45 last week...I assume it's a legal reissue from France ?

But would love to hear the Johnny Bristol (he wrote it !), Epic.

Yes the re-issues are legal believe.

Johnny Bristol version is off his "Feeling The Magic" album from 1975 - great lp - also contains the brilliant Love Takes Tears - done by Margie Joseph as well.

Hope this works - enjoy people

PS Simon - Great job on the Marvin & Tammi - It's wonderful

Johnny_Bristol___I_Wouldn_t_Change_A_Thing_20_.mp3

Song was originally done by Johnny Bristol - that's a nice version as well.

Only came out on Mercury album as far as I know.

Came out on a 7inch re-issue a few weeks ago - try Crazy Beat or Juno.

Also available on a 12 inch for about 7 quid.

Great record!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Full asking price now met - thanks to all who PM'd me.

Last chance on this before it goes on Ebay.

Will accept £425. OVNO

Thanks

To add to the comments above, think Millie's " House For Sale " as released on the AUSSIE issued POLYDOR LP is again a little different to all the abovementioned takes ...

It's that different in Australia it's called "There's Some Real Estate In The Outback I May Consider Selling - Sport" (Rolf "Quentin" Harris Mix)

To finally put this to bed I think we are all agreed (apart from Mr Rounce) that whether the tune has been remixed - remastered - recut - redubbed - rejigged - been cleaned with Jif & a brillo pad - it DEFINITELY sounds different.

Here endeth the lesson.

Don't ya just love it when someone ends up with eggy-weg on their fizz-og?

All depends on which mix of eggy-weg you are talking about

Mint copy of the much sought after "I Want To Be Love" on Jerri. This vinyl has not been played for nearly 20 years. I am selling this for a mate who left the scene in 1980 & has no interest in tunes like this anymore. Bought as a new release it really is in excellent condition - never been in a sales box or on a mobile disco deck.

PM me with realistic offers.

Thanks

Does this not sound different to the other clip on this thread?

whats with the bad-attitude tony? are you training to be a hoodie or something? i'll have you know that i work for the council and i have the authority to serve an asbo on you!

anyway, i've just listened to the clip on the crazy beat website again and it deffo sounds a different arrangement to me (smoother and less beefy is a good way to decribe it derek)

if it is the LP cut and it's different to the UK 7" "reissue" (the LP track is the "orginal", cos the 7" was bunged out opportunously only because of popularity on the northern scene) then this is a positive promotional point for kent records

i used to work in record promotions, and i know that i could take a lot more orders from dealers if i could tell them "it's the original version played on the northern scene in the 1970s which has never before been available on a 45" than if i said "it's a reissue of an easily available £5 record" if there are two versions btw, a double-sided 7" would be a really unique item imho

i disagree that there's no merit in reworking classic vintage records - recent reworks of move on up and haven't you heard for example have been very popular and have motivated young people to take an interest is hunting down the original records and finding out more about similar music (slippery slope, some might say) also, i've recently bought 12" remixes of richie havens' going back to my roots and lee mcdonald's we've only just begun - both of these are absolutely fantastic, whether or not they are better or not than the wonderful original versions doesn't come into it

cool nuh, easy nuh

Tony - my ears - my computer - my deck - my mp3 player all work fine - I even accept peoples apologies humbly - there is DEFINITELY at least two different mixes.

Over to you Tone.

...And why on earth would anyone feel they could do anything to remix "House For Sale" that would make it better than it already is? Didn't Millie and her producers get it spot on first time? I can think of a lot of things a Y2K remix couldn't fail to be, but fabulous isn't one of them.

Just listened to clip on Crazy Beat - DEFINITELY a different mix than the original 7" UK release on Spring.

Seem to think this version was issued previously on a Kent/Spring CD some years back.

Just went to do a track list but I'd put most of the records back, it definitely includes

KIM TOLLIVER - I DON'T KNOW WHAT FOOT TO DANCE ON

THE NIGHTS - LOVE KNOCKED YOU DOWN

SISTERS LOVE - LEARNING TO TRUST MY MAN

MIROSLAV VITOUS - NEW YORK CITY

ISAAC HAYES - DISCO CONNECTION

BITS N PIECES - KEEP ON RUNNING AWAY

BOBY FRANKLIN - THE LADIES CHOICE

PRINCE GEORGE - WRONG CROWD

ELOISE LAWS - LOVE FACTORY

SKULLSNAPS - MY HANG UP IS YOU

IKETTES - TWO TIMIN DOUBLE DEALIN

BETTY WRIGHT - WHERE IS THE LOVE

Now Pete don't you feel much better now you have finally come out of the 70s closet?

I always new you had certain leanings.

Came out later on a UK Electra 12 inch - B side of the theme from Hill St. Blues.

It is the same tune, quite hard to find.....and it's terrible ....don't go there...

Midniters version is great

That's two of us who like the Midniters version then.

What The World Needs Now/Abraham, Martin & John - Tom Clay

That will certainly put a dampener on anybody's party

Great record!

Jimmy Ruffin - Tell Me What You Want

Gets played at Soulful Dance @ Lytham the odd time - people always remark how good it sounds & not heard this for ages - isn't it good.

Full length Moulton remix of course

25 minutes to go & it's @ £509 - utter MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just looked back thru my 12"ers monday after merry go round buddah disco 101 1975 us promo looks like one of the earliest of mine.

Steve

My copy of "Joyce" - Papa John Creach (Buddah) is a demo & has the serial number DISCO 100. - Year of release 1975.

-->

"The Stranger" - C Henry Woods Troupe - another weird & wonderful instrumental played somewhere along Central Drive.

"Sex Trip" - Crown Heights Affair

"What Makes Her A Woman" - Danny Reed (Voc & Instr.)

2 class tunes for me at the mecca was -Norma Jenkins - Can you imagine that -on Desert Moon

and - Esther Williams - You gotta let me show you - Friends & co

Love both of these - also quite partial to "Last Night Changed It All" by Ms Williams - far better than her swimming films I think you will find.
