Hi, It sounds the same because the track was used on the Venicia Wilson. Previous discussion, here. Sean

The singers names are in the programme, Jock Glad you enjoyed it and took from it what I did mate. A really Soulful performance overall. Sean

Agree Roger, INCREDIBLE is the word! As was Tito Jackson (surprisingly). We saw her at Notts on Sunday (didn't realise you were there Cliff!). An absolute MUST SEE! Only Cardiff & Aberdeen left on the Tour. The whole thing blew me away. Gladys has not lost a note of her amazing voice. Backing and Band were out of this world. Tito did some real Raw & Dirty as Fook Blues with a superb 8 piece Band + a Jacksons tribute with three of the Foxiest Females ever with voices from heaven! Am still completely aghast at how good they were! Gladys, though, is in a total league of her own. But her backing group were also SENSATIONAL! Did a complete life story on stage - Letter Full Of Tears - Every Beat Of My Heart - Some really GREAT Motown material - "If I Was Your Woman" sounded just like the recording! Highlight was she did a couple of minutes of "Love Don't Love Nobody"... fooking superb! Anyone not been to see her? FFS be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sean

Certainly mine. A Fabulous Southern Soul record! Sean

Issue is a hard one, Liam. Demo's more readily available. Good luck! Sean

Yep - big at Clifton Hall too for Richard Searling - being his David Porter cover up, at the time. Sean

Yep - this scan confirms Dog eat Dog was pressed and promoted as the Plug Side initially. Sean

Dog Eat Dog was (I think) the A side on the this, the first press of the Atlantic 45. After Radio picked up on the flipside "Tighten Up" it was pressed, within a month, under the same Release number as Tighten Up pt 1 & 2. Most of these, in this configuration, seem to be Promos. Not impossible, in this original format, but very rare in comparison to the 2-3 million copies the Repress sold! Sean

Great spirit Stefan. A Beer at Soul Essence in any event. Sean

Expect a Miracle Stefan! We're rooting for you. Sean

Shame, I'd have paid you handsomely for it! Sean

Can anyone help me out with this? Cash waiting! Cheers, Sean

Shocking Stefan, I hope they are returned soon. An advert in the local paper - reward - perhaps? Maybe the person who lifted them was just an opportunist thief and doesn't know what he/she took? Sean

Of course, mate. Thought I might have nabbed one in Memphis, but it didn't show! Willing to pay a few bob for it, but it seems to go quite cheaply when on eBay. Anyhow, you can be sure I'll send the second copy I'm offered to you!

Anyone got a copy of this to sell to me? Please pm me with condition & price. Many thanks Sean

One 45 that never gets a mention on 'Vietnam/Protest' related threads is the great Pam Sawyer song, produced by Frank Wilson, recorded by the Supremes in 1970, "Bill, When Are You Coming Back". It's on the album "Right On!" and first became aware of it in 1970 as its on the flipside to "Up The Ladder To The Roof". Always loved it! Sean

Steve & Rob, the Drive / Seville Debra Anderson 45 you're referring to was "Where Do We Go From Here" / "I Can See Leaving In Your Eyes". I know, you're both thinking 'what a sad git'... sat at home worrying about such trivia on a Saturday night... ...but someone's got to do it! Sean

Hi Cliff, Debra Anderson is the original recording and it is by Debra Anderson. Her original was played as a fairly new release at the Mecca (74). I've always believed the Dee Dee Schwarz/Warwick to be a cover, fairly soon after the original (a couple of months or so). Personally, I prefer the Dee Dee, but theres not much between 'em! Worth noting that, the Dee Dee Warwick also came out twice on Private stock, originally in 74 on 45,011 as DEE DEE and then in 75 on 45,033 as DEDE. I also have the original UK copy I bought when new! Like it! Sean

Sho' thing. What a guy! Woo Hoo! Leavin' Leavin' Leavin' on that Midnight Train To Georgia... Woo Hoo!

Saw her in Vegas a few years ago. Absolutely incredible. Off to see her in Notts next weekend. Can't wait! It may be the Farewell tour, but Gladys is forever! Sean

Hi Martyn, Yep - the flipside is "We're Keeping Our Business Together". Its a nice record in its own right. Probably a bit too fast to dance to, but a pleasant enough ditty! Enjoy! Sean

Think I've got a spare, John

I've got the 45 but wouldnt know what to do with it. Sorry. Prefer the flipside actually. Sean

DJ's should just play great records! Everyone's happy. Easy! Sean

Think you might be right. I'd been stockpiling 'em. Havent got as many as Craig though! So, if you're buying, Ezzie, £175 But since you're selling... $80 Shows how crazy this 'pricing thing is dont it. Sean
