Just heard stop the baby

and im confused

yes.........top tune.....on chess

Edited January 12, 201213 yr by gordon russell

The UK release is a different title, heard somewhere it had to be changed due to some kinda protest from the anti-abortion movement, dunno how true but makes sense,

Got both and don't recall it being the same track - it is a couple of years since i played the Chess copy and I've never played them back to back - but my memory tells me that it's a similar/ or the same backing tune but different lyrics/tempo?

Two different records, 1 released in 69 and the other 71

Very confusing,

Spot on.

Just listened to my UK copy and can confirm it plays "Stop The Baby".

I as much as said this in post 3, I incorrectly thought 'I'll be your fool' was the title given to the UK issue of 'stop' without realising it was already the title of another record, if that makes sense, so Bravs post kinda caught me off gaurd,

Thought so, i bought my uk copy at Yate and never knew about the usa one till now.

Thanks all

Cant play the utube clips at work but I've got the Conlo one, heard both 'releases' of 'Stop...' before and I'm sure the Conlo's a bit more meaty, the Conlo one is the one that got played around the usual Scottish venues in the 80's

I bow to your better memory. He had some great tunes, I've got a tape somewhere from him that I must dig out and listen to. If I find it I'll let you know what's on it for comparison.

Yes your right as i got a bit confused.

i'll be your fool on Briish Chess was released over here in 69

I was playing this today - they also got the B sides wrong. The black Chess flip is supposed to be "Jamo soul" but it plays "Snake hip Mama", the other side of I spy. Anyone know the story behind this?

Was played a bit at Yate by Paul Guntrip, my UK Chess demo, always went down well!!
