April 1, 201015 yr this used to get plays at wigan pre-charting....not everyones cup of tea especially nowadays but...any one seen a copy on US??? I dont mean to correct you but the instrumental B Side was called Still On Fire. i used to have a British Copy that was on Phillips
April 1, 201015 yr I dont mean to correct you but the instrumental B Side was called Still On Fire. i used to have a British Copy that was on Phillips I don't know if that's what they meant or what? I mean, as you say, the instrumental is on the flip of every Philips copy of that 45 I've ever seen. Are they actually asking if anyone's ever seen the US press with the instrumental on the flip? Because the answer is pretty obviously yes I would have thought
April 1, 201015 yr I don't know if that's what they meant or what? I mean, as you say, the instrumental is on the flip of every Philips copy of that 45 I've ever seen. Are they actually asking if anyone's ever seen the US press with the instrumental on the flip? Because the answer is pretty obviously yes I would have thought 5000 Volts had released several singles in the mid 1970s , but did not achieve success until radio stations began playing the B - side of their single " Bye Love ", which was " I'm On Fire " , "IOF " was released in its own right n 1975 - with the instrumental / backing track to the song on the B - side - which became a major hit throughout Europe , reaching at number 4 on the UK Chart ; and number 1 on the German and Swedish charts . It was released in the US - " I'm On Fire " / "Still On Fire " ( 7" 45 RPM Single ) Philips # 40801 - where it peaked at number 26 on the Billboard chart .

April 1, 201015 yr Author im after a US demo of it,,,ebayed and gemmed it can only see uk copies of it,,,cheers guys for the replies..
April 1, 201015 yr Here's an interesting fact. Maybe. The actual singer of I'm On Fire was the girl once known as Karol Keyes who did a great version of One In A Million on UK Columbia and also did You Beat Me To The Punch on Fontana. As for a US version - there must be one, a sizeable UK hit like that would have got a US release I should think

Tina Charles was the singer on the record. they used Karol cause they thought it would promote the record better, as they thought Tina Charles was not pretty enough. she looked alright to me. Stu
April 1, 201015 yr And I´ve had a fair few copies of the LP which I still see very often at record fairs and car boot sales over here in Sweden.

April 3, 201015 yr Karol Keyes was only the lead singer on tv appearances. Tina Charles was the singer on the record. they used Karol cause they thought it would promote the record better, as they thought Tina Charles was not pretty enough. she looked alright to me. Stu Tina Charles had a great voice and was Welsh. She also brought out a solo single You Set My Heart On Fire with a great inst version on the flip. Is this the same record? Written and produced by the much under rated Biddu.
