Used to be silly money, but now £250-£300, condition, issue/demo and all that.

Steptones on Diamond Jim, I really hate this record and cannot understand how it can go for 300 on a demo or an issue, Platters is Ok version.

Also I have never been at a club when its played, seems to be one of those records that only appears in sales boxes a bit like records that only appear on tape swappers tapes.

the tempos version pisses all over the steptones, with its annoying talking bit in the middle never quite got on with it, love the platters lp track.

I disagree, the tempos version is terrible compared to the steptones, they are singing way out of tune and it is barely listenable. Just my opinion.

Everyones taste is different,personally i like both versions.

Totally agree , I really regret parting with my Tempos , whats the verdict on The Platters - ''I can't get used to sharing you '' of the Going back to detriot album.

SAME HERE MAK, THE PLATTERS IS VERY GOOD, IMHO. STILL GOT THE LP, BUT WE SOLD OUR TEMPOS 45 TO A MATE A FEW YEARS AGO AS WE THORT HIS NEED FOR THE RECORD WAS GREATER THAN OURS.....................IT WASN'T

BRI PINCH.

Steptones was my fave record for a long time.

I love the out of tune singing and that cheesy 'talking bit in the middle' - gives it character - rough round the edges - makes it real

Tempos is also good but not quite in the same league as the Steptones.

Platters nice to have but the other two are essential IMO

If in doubt, have/get all of 'em

Cheers

Thanks to all who have replied, my verdict is with the Tempos, will pass it overto my brother.

... always rated this, and whilst the Tempos is decent enough (no idea what you're on Boba), this wins for me..

aren't you agreeing with me about which is better? anyways, the lead of the tempos is singing flat through the whole track. i like the tempos' other records though.
