Posted November 30, 201014 yr Luther Ingram - Hurdy Gurdy Harrison Brothers - Bobalou Douglas Gibson - Tangerine Three versions all subtly different from each other, and all first rate hard-driving Northern Soul! Which was played out first? Are there any other versions out there? Luther's is the rarest, but which is your favourite? By the way, the flip of Luther 'I Need You Now' is damn good northern too...never heard that played out or spoken about!
November 30, 201014 yr Me personally, i prefer the Douglas Gibson version yep same here mate, but only coz its the only one i have seriously i like the L Ingram one too, can't recall the other version.
November 30, 201014 yr Personally prefer Luther Ingram's, probably because it's the one I have no seriously though, slightly grittier imho than the other 2, which are very good soul tunes on their own.
November 30, 201014 yr 1st - Harrison Brothers (by a country mile) harrison brothers - run for your life - bobalou 2nd - Luther Ingram luther ingram - run for your life - hurdy gurdy 3rd - Douglas Gibson douglas gibson with the sweet and sours - run for your life - tangerine IMHO Edited November 30, 201014 yr by mrtag
November 30, 201014 yr Harrison Brothers best and also first played; Douglas Gibson uses the same backing track as Harrison Brothers. Luther Ingram rarest, also a great version but not quite as powerful as the other two.

November 30, 201014 yr All three of these are essential northern soul : Harrison Bros definitely my favorite First heard Harrison Bros/Music Minus Two at Cleethorpes circa 75/76 Cliff Camfield gave "I need you now" a few spins at Burnley in recent times - it's a nice slice of northern soul !

November 30, 201014 yr Douglas Gibson & the Sweet & sours Gets my Vote Best & cheapest Steve. For you !! douglas gibson with the sweet and sours - run for your life - tangerine
December 1, 201014 yr All versions have their merits Harrison Bros was the first I heard,,,,, real WTF is this ?? but Douglas Gibson, just shades it for me. ATB Tony
December 1, 201014 yr Author All versions have their merits Agree I've always gone for the Douglas Gibson cut, but am now having a re-think about the Luther Ingram as it is so more 'Detroity' sounding and gutsy. Never been a big fan of the vocal performance of the Harrisons, although the backing track means I can't ignore it! Glad to read that Cliff has been spinning the Luther flipside...I'd honestly not heard it before finding a copy of the disc at the weekend
