John Benson

I seem to think 'Drop in the bucket' was on a "From the vaults" LP in the 80's, not sure about the other one though...?

Thanks for the compliment - I hope I don't disappoint anyone!

....and another thing Plumby.....whilst discussing your LP only tracks set.....Detroit Emeralds - Long Live The King..... is also on UK Phonogram 45...

Never seen an Outer Mongolian 45 release though.....

If you're gonna be 'pedantic' - actually it's a 7" but it plays at 33!

But I wasn't going to mention it to Steve this time

Gobsmacked!

What a find!

Is it the same mix, longer, shorter, is it stereo or mono????????????

Well done mate

Cheers

Steve

Steve, it doesn't sound any different to the 45 recording to my ears, I haven't thought to check if it's in stereo, but the album cover and labels do say 'Stereo'

So it's a fair bet that it actually is!

When I get a chance, I'll have another listen... and I'll time it for you if you want

Lovely record this one - every home should have one

Also on the CD 'The ABC's of Soul"

Well well, I definately don't recall this one!

Was it only out on a 'best of' album, or was there an earlier release?

Just curious...

So you got it then John.........let's have the details already...

Just read the rest of my original post... it's all there, pics and all!

ronnettes also on uk london - i've got a copy of that

Errr - don't you mean "Be my baby"? - Or did they actually cover "You baby"

I've got "Be my baby" by the Ronnettes on London but can't say I'm aware of "You baby"

Got me thinking this one..

I've got the UK A& M demo

US demo

Australian issue

and the above mentioned one, which I actually got for the 'Angel' side - cos I like it!

Sad I know...

I didn't John, it would mean listening to the whole thing again, a few i remember

.... i think thats all my playlist John.

Brett Franklin

Thanks Brett - that's a start at least

Just for those who may not know - Len's version was from his LP "It's that time of the year"

But it also 'sneaked' out on UK MCA in the early 70's as the flip side to "123"

I'd go for the Israeli LP - thats not a boot

It's actually a slightly different recording to the LP version as well

Sorry John, no spare copy though

Brett,

I don't suppose any of you wrote down what was played on the show?

It would just save me going through it all and doing it myself

I know nothing about this group except for the 45 on UK Dart - (and of course the President (?) compilation LP it also came out on)

I don't recall seeing it on any US label either, there's a slight chance it got a bit of a review in B&S when it was released, so maybe someone has more info?

That would be an entirely different story though eh Ian

(A version by Bobby Taylor that is!)

Yes it's him

I think it looks a bit like your Avatar Mike!

This is the album, contains one of my old faves "Is it it"

Tracklisting is here: https://music.aol.com/album/whatever-turns-you-on/28623

Nice one Steve!

BTW - The Moments CD is called "Moments to remember"

I wasn't going to mention this one Steve, but since you've mentioned it - it's not actually bad... but not as good as JRB, let alone Donny

I'll be following the 'A Taste of Soul' line of course BUT will try to play records that folks from Yorkshire will like too

Cheers

Steve

Oi - I think I might 'resemble' that remark too!

Out of the two (entirely different) songs which share the same title, I would have to go for.....

Donny and Bobby

Both the better versions IMHO

Well I picked up my David Walker promo up before that Pete

It was just another record to make numbers up off a market stall though - I didn't actually know of the Paradox record until it got a mention by Clarkie in Steve G's mag. Even then it was some time until I connected the two as being the same tune!
