Barbara Acklin goes for good money on Aussie Coral or Ampar...one of them. Earlier this year a really nice copy of a male vocal version of the tune by "orlando" whoever the devil that is , on a british label went for around 75 quid. The Salena Jones take is also well worth a listen...on DECCA i think.....

Last year I managed to get ahold of a pretty obscure aussie take by a country pop singer Alison Durbin" on an Aussie Columbia 45...it's a bit slower and chilled out....whatever version...it's a ripping bloody tune!

Agree it's overpriced on Ebay. 50US, bit steep I reckon. I'm also after one, but not at that price. A lot come up for 10-15US, but they're very often VG, or VG+...

Amazing that the Orlando version sold for anything over a fiver. It's on Nems. The UK Barbara Acklin on yellow MCA is worth about a fiver.

I'm sure I've heard a more recent tune with the same backing as this played out in bloody New Look or some such shop, whilst out with the wife and kids! Different words, but definately same music.

Don't forget that the backing track to "am I the same girl" also got an airing on Jackie Wilson's "It's All Over".

Joss Stone (uses the Young / Holt soulful strut backing I think)? Or too obvious.

Must admit I'll stick my neck out here on this thread, and I do genuinely like Miss Acklin (check out her Lp only version of 'I'll keep on holding on" needs playing out would be maseeve bla bla), but her vocals kinda grate on me on Same Girl, loses her pitch cringingly on more than one occasion.

My favourite version is the Salena Jones take. I have it on the "Everybody's talking" LP, but I heard it aslo came out on a Dutch CBS 7". Can anyone verify that and give me an idea of how often it comes up, and at what cost?

Was going to ask this in a seperate post, but this seemed a good opportunity !

There's one on eBay at the moment for 49 euros courtesy of a seller in the Netherlands. Pic sleeve is a bit tatty looking though.

Know what you mean. I could never stand her 'flights of vocal fancy' on 'I Get The Sweetest Feeling' with Jackie Wilson for the same reason.

I reckon this BabsA track must be a contender for gaining the most worldwide releases?
I also like the flipsdie, 'Be By My Side'...fab tuneage.
Here is the Japanese release, along with the Young Holt inst as well.
