Pete S Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Cheers Pete How much does this go for? is it rare, elusive or general run of the mill Dave Yeah it's a hard one to find. Boring people to tears now by saying I had it first as a cover up, which I did, when I used to run my fanzine (told everyone who it was in the next issue), so when I sold that in 95 I didn't see another copy for maybe 8 years, and I've only seen one since then - it was £60.

Now that's really cheered me up!!!?..........was hoping it was gonna be a £25/£30 record. Ah well here's hoping I can track one down or some kind soul on here wants to part with a copy.

Reforee Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 by the way,are u aware its a cover of smokey robinson ?https://youtu.be/wKn-bQ1OpKw I think a lot of Soul,records were covered by Jamaican singers through their labels and to be honest in the main (what I know of/heard) they did a bloody fine job of it. No mistaking Smokey's vocal prowess, but for me The First Generation does it for me, probably because I do love girlie vocals on soul records.

Guest MBarrett Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 What a great version the First Generation is. Beautiful wistful feel to it. Song 5 stars. Vocal 5 stars. Production 5 stars.

Pete S Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 You have to be careful if you're after a Jamaican copy because I have it listed as the other side of "Hearts of the knights" by Lennox Brown, but despite having the same label numbers (a rarity in itself, JA copies don't usually have numbers, just matrixes) well it's definitely not on the other side of that, Judy Mowatt is. Unless some copies are different. Does anyone actually own a Jamaican copy? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
John Benson Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The listing for the JA copy on Discogs states the artist on the other side as The Gaytones - but there's no picture of it: https://www.discogs.com/First-Generations-The-Gaytones-Give-Him-Up-Another-Version/release/5435928 Gay Feet 212 I assume 'Another version' means maybe a dub / instrumental version of the song?

Yeah the Gaytones are the regular backing band for Gay Feet Records, so you're probably right that it's a version, still can't find it though, this below doesn't help much - supposedly all Gaytones releases up to 1972 but I can't see it Gaytones Crashers Musical Fight (Target) (instrumental) JA 1969 7 High Note S 25 Sonia Pottinger Gaytones One Look UK 1969 7 High Note HS 014-B Sonia Pottinger Gaytones One Look JA 1969 7 High Note S 58 Sonia Pottinger Roland Alphonso Roland Alphonso and The Gaytones Sticker JA 1969 7 Gay Feet S 206 Sonia Pottinger Winston Delano Stewart Delano Stewart, Gaytones Stay A Little Bit Longer JA 1969 7 High Note S 35 Sonia Pottinger Gaytones Chapter UK 1970 7 High Note HS 045-B Sonia Pottinger Gaytones Cherry pt.2 UK 1970 7 High Note HS 042-B Sonia Pottinger Gaytones Cherry pt.2 JA 1970 7 Sonia Pottinger Gaytones Musical Fight (Target) (instrumental) UK 1970 7 High Note HS 037-A Sonia Pottinger Melodians Melodians, Gaytones No Nola JA 1970 7 High Note S 43 Sonia Pottinger Dennis Alcapone Dennis Alcapone and The Gaytones Medley Version UK 1971 7 Duke DU 125-A Sonia Pottinger Dennis Alcapone Dennis Alcapone and The Gaytones Medley Version Pt. 2 UK 1971 7 Duke DU 125-B Sonia Pottinger Gaytones Jamaican Hilite JA 1971 7 Gay Feet Sonia Pottinger Gaytones Musical Fight (Target) (instrumental) UK 1971 7 Trojan TR 7817-B Sonia Pottinger Gaytones unknown JA 1971 7 High Note Sonia Pottinger Judy Mowatt Julian, Gaytones Cry To Me JA 1971 7 Gay Feet S 211 Sonia Pottinger Judy Mowatt Jean and The Gaytones I Shall Sing UK 1971 7 Trojan TR 7817-A Sonia Pottinger Judy Mowatt Julian and The Gaytones I Shall Sing JA 1971 7 Gay Feet S 207 Sonia Pottinger Judy Mowatt Judy Mowatt and The Chosen Few with the Gaytones Joy To The World UK 1971 7 High Note HS 054-A Sonia Pottinger Lennox Brown Lennox Brown and The Gaytones Heart Of The Knights (Conqueror) UK 1971 7 High Note HS 055-A Sonia Pottinger and Joe Gibbs Max Romeo Max Romeo and The Gaytones Pray For Me JA 1971 7 Gay Feet S 217 Sonia Pottinger Nora Dean Norah Dean, Gaytones Must Get A Man JA 1971 7 Gay Feet S 214 Sonia Pottinger Nora Dean Norah Dean, Gaytones The Palet (The Valet) JA 1971 7 Gay Feet S 213 Sonia Pottinger Errol Dunkley Errol Dunckley, Gaytones You'll Never Know USA 1972 7 Gay Feet S 244-A Sonia Pottinger Errol Dunkley Errol Dunkley, Gaytones You'll Never Know JA 1972 7 Gay Feet S 244 Sonia Pottinger Gaytones Jamaican Hilite UK 1972 7 Green Door GD 4016-A Sonia Pottinger Gaytones Soul Makossa (mispelled Soul Masooka) JA 1972 7 Gay Feet S 272 Sonia Pottinger Heptones Heptones, Gaytones H-E-L-P JA 1972 7 Gay Feet S 240 Sonia Pottinger Jackie Brown Jackie Brown, The Gaytones Country Gal JA 1972 7 Gay Feet S 251 Sonia Pottinger Judy Mowatt Julianne and The Gaytones I Love You JA 1972 7 Gay Feet Sonia Pottinger Judy Mowatt Juliane and The Gaytones Rescue Me JA 1972 7 Gay Feet S 249 Sonia Pottinger Judy Mowatt Julian, Gaytones She Kept On Talking JA 1972 7 Gay Feet S 229 Sonia Pottinger Max Romeo Max Romeo with the Gaytones Pray For Me UK 1972 7 High Note HS 058-A Sonia Pottinger Audley Rollins Aud Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Delano Stewart did the vocal on two separate uk 45s Hold up, we're getting mixed up here I think. The B side of the UK First Generation is Dave Barker (She Want it) The one you are on about, isn't it credited to The Gaysetters on UK - and nothing to do with First Generation. Other side of Delano Stewart (Rocking Sensation) Is it on the other side of First Generation on jamaican Gayfeet, is that what you meant? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Kelbot Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hope I've uploaded the photos correctly apologies in advance if not! This is my partner Phils record. We were looking for it after hearing it on Work Your Soul Vol 2 CD. Had it for a couple of years I think. Hope this helps. Lee-Ann Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Great work Lee-Ann! If you get chance, could you play the B side and see if it is actually an instrumental version of the A side? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Kelbot Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hi Pete just played it and it's not an instrumental of Give Him Up. It's a bit of a strange ditty! ha ha part instrumental with female vocals in the background singing "la la la la". Heard worse though! Hope that helps.

Guest Kelbot Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Your welcome. Funnily enough when we looked for it the only mention we could find was a thread here on Soul Source saying the British release was on High Note so we were looking for that one but he managed to get this one from eBay.
