Les Mcgann - Sad Little Girl

Posted
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gmxggs77-oM I wonder if anybody can give me come pieces of info about this record. For the record, this song is said to exist only on a 33rpm, isn't it? this is just what I've heard about this..I was wondering if it'd ever been issued on 45 too. I hope so..

    Don't worry, it sounds perfectly OK on 33 (LP) and as a bonus, has some other tunes too! It is not a bad thing to be LP only.

played this at our local do in manchester many moons ago, and dave godin came over to the decks to see what it was......what a tune.

Was it covered up Jim,remember it being played quite a bit at niters ten or so years ago. it being played at someones house after a bank holiday alldayer at the cricketers in Hindley.Thought he,d pulled it out of a singles box.

not to my knowledge, the time is right roughly 10 years ago....it had just been discovered when i managed to get the album, carl willingham was playing it also at the same time as me, which tells me it was not covered up. :thumbsup:

Hi,

I have a copy on a white labelled 45 RPM with " Little Girl" - Corey Glover on the otherside

I asked it because a couple of doubts about the 45 existence came up after seeing a 45 copy (some kind of bootleg me thinks; just the fact that this particular issue had no proper label says it all) being sold on ebay...https://www.popsike.com/Les-McCANN-Little-Girl-7-NORTHERN-SOUL-Mod-Jazz-HEAR/360080558957.html here's the link...it's some knid of bootleg/private issue, innit?

Evening Jim,

I thought it was a boot & originally bought the record for Corey Glover, which is a cd only track. As I'm a vinyl head, I played the other side & what a track.

may be this will help

ricky.

i have corey glover as a facebook friend, he is still gigging and putting records out....little girl was first played at allbrighton circa 2000..and went on to be massive..apparantly corey appeared in the film platoon.

knew it was lp only.

for a minute though i thought it was on 45.

i have an old sales tape,maybe from 15 years ago.was from a david/dave (somebody).it was all 45s sales & on the list was sad little girl but he had mercury as the label.it passed me by @ the time.a few years later i got the lp(taste changes).

i forgot about the tape till a few years ago & checked it & still said sad little girl/mercury,lol.

if did put lp on tape by mistake,id a thought hed put les plays the hits as titlle & why put sad little girl/mercury.maybe just got mixed up a bit.

got me going for a while thinking it was on a 45.

i just put it down to a total mistake???.

ha ha at McGann. It's actually a really good LP, the original version of "Compared To What", a nice version of "Sunny" which is on Mercury 45 that I play out from time to time. Worth the $10-$15 it will cost you.

top memory bro, albrighton...what a venue, times right and corey glover massive manor tune as well, must mention that to steve jeffries...river deep was also a big torch play as well....so, lp value whilst we're at it please?

lp value whilst we're at it please?

LP will cost you all of $10, the Sunny/River Deep 45 is a $5 record.

York main man Ronnie Pedley had that album first and was probably first to air it at a venue,maybe a little longer than 10 years back.It quickly went massive and the clamour to find the album began,just as it did with Jimmy Cobb...but thats another story.

didnt the les mcann lp also come out on uk mercury ...corey glover cd came out in 98 and was played from the cd as a new release.he was in a band called living colour who had a couple of top 40 uk hits late 80`s.i can recall les mcann being played at the wilton mid 90`s chris holmes i think maybe roger banks also

a few copies here

I can also remember this some years before the year 2000 or thereabouts.

Just put a Les McCann LP on my site tonight if anyone is interested. www.midastouchsoul.co.uk

Both big Albrighton tunes back in the day, I always feel that both tracks did not reach their full potential because they were not on a 45....I mean Cory Glover is as good as Soul Bros Inc "Pyramid" aint it!

I could`nt tell you who played them both first at Albrighton. We pretty much shared the tunes there, no politics.....just good records (or Cds!)!!!

Chris

Try "Les Skate" , often overlooked from the LP.

Driving piano instrumental in the vein of "call me".

15 - 20 years ago the LP was much sought after, then E-bay came along.
