Pete S Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I needed to find All My Loving by Prince Buster for a compilation and I remembered taping it when I owned a copy, so it meant a few hours in the garage trying to find it amongst literally hundreds of tapes. Anyway I did find it but I also found a tape just labelled as 'cover ups' so I thought I'd post a few up here to see if they ever became popular or uncovered or whatever. Some are good, some are crap. This is the first one. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 4th - now this one is so familiar that I think I must actually have it or have had it, I may be wrong but someones bound to know what this is...I'm gonna kick myself Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 5th - this is the one that Gash was trying to identify the other day but his version sounded like it was recorded from outside a venue. I can guarantee that this is an LP track, definitely. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Garethx Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 The Soul Fay one is Ronnie West "Lil Woman" on Goins. An old Kitch spin? Maybe one of the only ones apart from the Blendells to make much of an impression. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Garethx Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 The Bobby Adams one sounds like the work of a professional singer. The rest are decidedly average. They remind me of the days when people covered up records 'cos there was something sub-standard about them and a c/u was the only way to drum up any mystique around or interest in them.

Guest Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I know the first track, but not by title, I think I might even have heard it a few days ago. Now all I need to do is to play it to the person who played it to me. Some Carolinas thing I think. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 (edited) The Bobby Adams one sounds like the work of a professional singer. The penny just dropped. Bobby Adams is: James Gadson - Got To Find My Baby - CREAM On issue copies only I think. £8 from Manship. I guess he's got a bunch of them. Good tune IMO.

Garethx Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 (edited) I don't think it is. That's more of a crossover tune, while this one is definitively sixties in origin... The vocalist on the Bobby Adams sounds a lot like Little Milton to me. Knowing my detective skills it'll probably be unmasked as David Essex or suchlike.

MarkWhiteley Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Redcoats Revue is certainly something along those lines, and it is a Carolina tune. I know there's a Redmond Revue on Raven, same label as Lost Souls - this might be it?? Probably worth checking out.

Garethx Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Chalky: do you know what the Bobby Adams is? I think I can remember Dean Anderson covering up a Little Milton 45 on Checker in the mid 80s.
