I was reading about Clarence Jackson's, If The Shoe Don't Fit, on the forgotten oldies thread and it got me wondering.

I bought this a while back off Ebay, after hearing it one evening at These Old Shoes. It wasn't until after I bought it that I found I already had it on CD (Goldmines - Wigan Casino 25th Anniversary). Anyway what I'd like is can anyone confirm that this is an original, just seemed to me that it doesn't sound like a 1974 release (does that make sense? ), thanks.

Also I've posted up a soundfile in the gallery for people to listen to. >> Click Here <<

Looks ok to me Ian, was talking about this very record Saturday at the 100 but to quote Jamie, I'm no expert

Hiya,

Yes, you have an original Demo. Record was issued in 1974 on Valtone which is when I bought my copy. Issues are orange.

The reason is sounds 1960s is because it is. The track was originally recorded as "You Got It and I Want It" by Andre Williams on the Ric Tic label. Another forgotten oldie!

Both are very good records.

Cheers,

John.

Had a lot of these years ago and they were all off center, I was never sure if they were boots or not, haven't had one for years though.

I'm sure JA at Soul Bowl had soemthing to do with this. Big record 1975/76 at The Wirrrina for yours truly.

Instrumental seemed to get lots of plays at Cleethorpes / Samanthas, never understood the fascination with instumentals at the time when the vocal was usually better.

Third Time around, Kim Tolliver, Boogie Man Orch etc...

That's funny, I could never get over the fascination with Disco records at a "Northern" night. There were hundreds of clubs that you could listen to this type of thing in

Nice one mate!

Good record this and, if you read my previous posts, not a "disco record". Whatever that means!

Clarence Jackson......... disco no, don't think so

I just love the Clarence Jackson record.Always try and play it in my spot when dj'ing.
