Hammersoul Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Doing a poll to see what`s you fav version of all this on different track titles. I could also do with what year they were released,this is what info i have got from previous threads on this: I`d rather leave on my feet-Clyde Milton on Disco Tac Records "Ž— CM 101 it seems this was first version,maybe late 70`s/79? I`d rather leave on my feet-Emmanuel Laskey on Dt 100 Came out in 1980 on 2 presses.For me the Green one and best version. Silver is a different mix.So this was first release on this label so rest are all from the 80`s. You turn me on-Fourth Day on Dt 104. Great double sider and the best version for me,same backing as I`d rather leave etc but different lyrics.No year on this,any ideas? You Turn Me On-Magnificents Dt 104. Slower version from memory(used to have it) same label number as Fourth Day so did they get released same year? Feel free to add any more versions Clock is ticking Edited December 22, 2013 by mike Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Rick Scott Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Clyde Milton for me as this is the version i play out, never bothered with the others, Rick Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
NEV Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I also thought there are different versions of the Clyde Milton on different coloured labels? He wrote the song, but I'm with Wayne and think the lyrics on fourth day suit the music better Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Popular Post Steve G Posted December 23, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2013 Can't we agree it's just a pretty good tune from the late Dennis Talley and great that he kept recycling it. Will try and find my pics of 4th Day, Emmanuel in the 70s etc. But that reminds me....when I interviewed Mr Laskey in 1999 on Soul 24-7 radio he was living in a project in abject poverty, he claimed he'd been ripped off of all his records etc. And a singer who gave so many so much pleasure with his singing. 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
sepia Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 sad but a common story on artists money from records. I like them all. I have clyde & laskey's, never got round to buyin fourth day,my hate had it but sold it soon after as didn't like production compared to lackey's,think fourth days was same as laskey's silver label production. I listen to laskey's full disco version b-side everytime,just love the inst break in it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Steve,have you still got podcast of the show i could listen to pls? Looking for year of release on all these? Thx for all replies so far I agree the disco mix is the better side and the one i always used to play but now i`m getting into the other side Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Hammersoul Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Great interview Steve,love to hear the unreleased Motown material Mr Laskey Did back in 1978 .Might be a welcome payday for him as well. Have they been found yet?i know there`s been a recent Motown box set ,maybe one for the future Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Pinch Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) i prefer the silver emanuel laskey..the violins on the green are a bit `whiny` to me... had the fourth day but sold it last year the magnificents seems to be popular Edited December 24, 2013 by dave pinch Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Steve G Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The Magnificents were Jack Ashford / Lorraine Chandler's group yes? Got their "There can be a better way" on MAM, which we used to think was the same as The Smith Brothers, but isn't. So who were The Magnificents?
