Markw Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Thanks. It does look like a word, doesn't it - and it's definitely not done in the Greek Cyrillic alphabet. Spent half an hour online trying to see if I could identify the script/language and wonder if it's Arabic, in which case the word reads from right to left. See attached image of the Arabic alphabet - it is possible to make out several, but not all of the characters. No idea what it means though and I could just be completely wrong - it really might just be a squiggle after all. Any Arabic speakers here? If it really is a word, you have the puzzle of why a record made in Greece has Arabic (or whatever language it is) on the sleeve... It's all Greek to me..........................

dthedrug Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 the carol woods lp is worth checking out Hi All...I have looked through mmpler LP BLACK INC. y LP collection and sadly have not got the track, only Carrol woods tracks i have are on the sampler EMBER LP - BLACK INC 2 tracks however it has Mickey Stevonson which although not on this LP but on his own LP , if you follow a brilliant track "STORMY" I remember Mick Smith having the Album of me after I played it to him, it's a shame that ember did not put this out as a 45, did the Carill Woods you talk about make it to a 45:ph34r: DAVE Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soulmanden Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 what label is th original release of this please if you like the record listen to the origanal by ray charles its ten times better. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Reg Scott Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 if you like the record listen to the origanal by ray charles its ten times better. The original version was not done by Ray Charles. Ray Charles did record it, and it's a good version, but that was recorded in 1980 on Crossover/Atlantic 3762. Other notable versions include Della Reese. The original version appears on the album 'Swiss Movement' by Les McCann with saxophonist Eddie Harris from their performance at the 1969 Montreaux Festival. Also interesting is that the lyrics and Swiss Movement vocal came courtesy of Gene McDaniels There's a good blog here for more https://funky16corner...ed-to-what.html Regards Greg.

kevinsoulman Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 In 1969, Atlantic Records released Swiss Movement, a recording of McCann with regular collaborator and saxophonist Eddie Harris and guest trumpeter Benny Bailey at that year's Montreux Jazz Festival. The album contained the song "Compared To What," and both the album and the single were huge Billboard pop chart successes. "Compared To What" featured political criticism of the Vietnam War. The song was not actually written by McCann; fellow Atlantic composer/artist Eugene McDaniels (A Hundred Pounds of Clay) wrote it years earlier. "Compared To What" was initially recorded and released by soul vocalist Roberta Flack. Her version appeared as the opening track on her debut recording, First Take (1969). kev Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Steve Plumb Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 When this thread first started a few months ago, I had a couple of unplayed copies on UK Bulldog which sold straight away. I've just got a couple more unplayed copies in at £8 each (plus £2 postage anywhere in the world) If anyone fancies a copy, please PM me or you can buy it directly from www.soulmusic.co.uk/Northern_Soul.htm Cheers Steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
