am I right in thinking this was an unreleased track and only exists on a studio acetate owned or formerly owned by richard searling?

Other than the Herman Hitson CD which came out a few years back - but wasn't there also a slightly different version knocking about as well?

Now this is where i get confused john, is there a version by NATE ADAMS?

nate adams - love slipped through my fingers

herman hitson - love slipped thru my fingers -

Or are these the same thing?

the one that searling used to play was an atlantic acetate by nate adams, he covered it up as hermon hitson, there is also an unreleased version by hermon hitson which is available on a cd

Here's Richard Searling djing at the Casino from Feb 1980. He introduces it as Herman Hitson, played for my old mate Paul Woods & the rest of us Hull lot................same night as he played John & The Weirdest for the first time C/U as Spyder Turner & The Webs.

Coincidence, I've got a tape of that exact same night and exact same spot from Richard!

Think I might have of sent you it???? My mate did the recoding (Paul Woods), he was a big mate of Richards & was on stage when he was doing it, hence the great quality. Just feels strange to know I was there when it was done. Love the history bit about John & The Weirdest.

Cheers

Martyn

And you very kindly did one for me too Martyn.

Loads of other great stuff on it too. I've just had a listen to the HH cd version. Nate Adams has the edge in my opinion with that anguished 'lonely, lonely man I am' bit at the intro...

No mate, though oddly enough it was recorded by someone named Martyn, Martyn Smith. You can tell it's this recording because of the really strong Black Country accents picked up on the tape

Weird that, I've never heard the 'Herman Hitson' version being referred to as Nate Adams, ever! Until this thread, obviously.

By the way, I'm just uploading a tape from the Casino 7th anniversary which features this track, should be ready in half an hour

Bloody hell who'd have thought it.............that Feb night in 1980 must have been a packer

Ah thats interesting, cos I've got late 1979 written on my tape, that was my guess!

I keep getting asked to put more live tapes up so here's an absolute belter from the Casino's 7th anniversary on 25th September 1980. This tape is in fantastic quality but it also allows you to hear the atmosphere which is the whole point of these live recordings. The quality dips as it nears the end but please enjoy a tremendous Richard Searling spot, a Keith Minshull oldies spot and a short excerpt from Gary Rushbrooke's spot.

Not me , I never took a recorder to Wigan as far as I can remember ...... St Ives , Yate , P,boro perhaps, but never Wigan - it was just another bit of 'stuff' to cart around
