Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 The 'Gone With The Wind...' is really nice but it sounds as though it's by the 'other' Gloria Jones, i.e the sometime member of the Blossoms who recorded as the Victorians, Gloria Melbourne and under lots of other names in the early-mid 60s, rather than she of 'Tainted Love' fame...

Hello Tony, that's interesting but it's the real Gloria Jones. Lou was in touch with her again before he made this track available. It was the first version of 'Gone With The Wind Is My Love' but at the time Lou couldn't reach an agreement with her manager Ed Cobb so he cut it on Rita Graham instead - and Ed Cobb took Gloria to Capitol Records. And I assume that's why there isn't another Gloria Jones track for a flip side. Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Paul Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 The timing of this has turned out to be interesting because of the new Nicola Conte album featuring 'Love And Revolution' which is an adaptation of 'Gone With The Wind Is My Love'. By the way, if any radio DJs want an MP3 of Gloria's version of 'Gone With The Wind Is My Love' please get in touch. The same applies to club DJs who play MP3 files.

Andy Rix Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Is it just my defective hearing or does anybody else hear an echo of a slowed down rhythm track of Eddie Parkers' . "I'm Gone" when listening to the Tiaras - "Love's made a connection" .... well in parts anyway if one is clutching at straws !!! Andy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mick Holdsworth Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Just got the Album from Cdbaby - Quite like the two takes from Jimmy McFarland - On first play, (apart from the intro) I can't tell the difference, but I'm sure that after a few plays the differences will be apparent. There's nearly an extra minute on the Orig version for a start. I think the Gloria & Tiaras - Gone With The Wind is great. Thanks Lou Now then, what about the Instrumental of Blowing My Mind ...

Mick Holdsworth Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 mick, that extra minute you mention will be identicle to the 99 joe boy issue of rita & the tiara's rob Rob, It was the Jimmy McFarland I meant - One version is much longer - The first verse and chorus have been repeated. Apart from the two different Intro's, and this first verse loop, the two versions are absolutely identical, so it would appear there is no 60's recording of this after all ... at least not on this CD. I like this new recording, and the new recording of Gone With The Wind is also good (this is the full version, as per R&T / Kent 45) Cheers Mick Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Benji Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I bought the download MP3s. Well pleased. $7.50 for all the songs is more than fairly priced. And just to point it out: the Gloria Jones take of Gone With The Wind is NOT the stereo extendend version that came out on Joy Boy. Completely different versions.

Benji Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 No problem. It's mono though it's some sort of "enhanced" mono giving it a bit of stereo effect. And it's THE Gloria Jones singing!

Both songs, Gloria and Jimmy's, were done in the 60's...Yes, the intro on Jimmy's 3 minute version of Blowing my mind was part of the original arrangement. It is an unusal intro with respect to the rest of the song...except in the ending bridge where Jimmy is sort of speaking and singing with a string arrangement that reflexs the introduction opening...........The Bob Relf version did not appear until the mid or late 70's or 80's....the intro was removed via an edit without my approval from my original tracks.......and it became popular in the UK and I have to give Bob credit for the popularity................................Lou Edited March 28, 2012 by love1scent Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
