Thanks Mark for the nod in right direction as been searching for this, one very happy soon to be 50 year old! Ordered and ready to hit the kitchen floor as soon as it lands on the mat.

Problem was Dave D, that no one was importing them, so I bought one from USA and had to stand their postage costs.......and we all know how much that can be these days.  £10 for the record and £10 for postage, so mine cost £20 all told.

 

That makes £17 a bargain, and even more so against the Soul Source prices!!  It's a new release and just needs a bit of legwork to find one............no need to succumb to the "I have a spare of......" ..............................for now!

 

 

Cheers,

Was this CD only before - I remember Robbie Vincent playing it years ago on Jazz FM

Came out on a rather dubious 4 track 12" about 15 years ago. Got mine off Mike Stevens in Manchester & asked him if they were legit & he didn't say they weren't but didn't say they were either. Were very good looking colourful copy's & were in good quality covers. Sold out very quickly & were followed by a cheap & nasty looking white label thing. Will dig it out later & try to post up a pic.

Think these new presses are a slightly different mix as well. Will confirm when it lands at Dixon towers.

Different take to the 12" release though.........not played 'em back to back but I think I prefer the CD version actually!

 

Nice to have a record like this on the plastic though........

Is the CD cut the same as the boot 12" Mark? 

Wondering how many different mixes there actually are.

As I said before, this came out on the vinyl version of the expanded 'lets get it on' album along with all the other unreleased tracks, so it's not the first vinyl release. However, woman of the world is the first release of any kind, so it's worth your dollar for sure!

 

oh and there are two 12" boots of wawg, one with the whistling, one without,

The boot 12" that came out some years ago is the same cut as the CD. The boot was the only vinyl of it ( I thought). There are a couple of dodgy house/club tracks on the boot and 'where are we going' seems a bit incongruent on the 12" really. The new 12" is a slightly different mix and like Mark, I actually prefer the boot version, although there really isn't much in it. At least with this new 12" you get Marvin's awesome 'Woman of the world' and Donald Byrd's better version of 'where are we going' (IMO).

 I couldn't find "Woman Of The World on DFTMC, but what a beautiful song !

 

Here is a very short interview of the Mizell Brothers about it :

Ok, for the 4th time, let's clear this all up :)

 

First played from DAT, Chris Phillips on kiss, I still have the tape of it with the story of how he got sent it from one of the Mizzells and Marvin was staying with them in LA and they recorded 2 tracks in their basement one night. He was in LA mixing lets get it on. They of course wrote and produced for Donald Byrd.

 

Some years later the best of cd came out & I told everyone on EMS email list the day it came out, I remember Gareth Donovan pretending he had some late night shopping to do to his missus that night as it was bizarrely sold initially through Tescos as a cheap comp.

 

then the alt version was on the lets get it on expanded cd - Funk and soul 12 was booted from this and contains 3 other tracks as well from that edition

 

Then booted again on the biscuit 12 from the best of cd

 

then it came out on vinyl on the motown lets get it on expanded edition 2xLP.

 

now this 12, which contains the 2nd Mizzells track, never previously released.

 

and lets not forget the Funk Inc version, which is great too.

Got released in 2002 Jordi. Thought it was a couple of years earlier tbh. 

Several other things on the same label & here's a pic of one in it's cover. My Marvin is in the same sleeve.

Its not Dave, the lets get it on version has whistling on it, as does the funk and soul 12, all tracks on that 12 were ripped from the expanded cd. Best of and biscuit 12 are the same, no whistling.

As I understand it there is a third Mizell's produced track that has never seen the light of day.

 

I think Where Are We Going first appeared on vinyl on an Austrian various artists compilation, I remember Eddie Piller playing it from that years back (Soul 24/7 days).
